Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 24, 2016

~ REFLECTION ~

.

Jan. 24th Sunday:

Nehemiah 8:2-10; 1 Cor 12:12-30; Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21

Jan. 25th Monday: Feast Day: St. Paul, the Apostle Acts 22:3-16; Mark 16:15-18 Jan. 26th Tuesday: Feast Day St. Timothy & Titus 2 Timothy 1:1-8 Mark 3:31-35 Jan. 27th Wednesday: 2 Samuel 7:4-17; Mark 4:1-20

Our first reading sets the stage for today’s Gospel. Both stories tell of the proclamation of God’s word in the midst of the assembly, and of how that word is being fulfilled. Saint Paul today proclaims that we are members of Christ’s body. As members of that body, we are compelled to continue the mission that Jesus proclaims. Now that Ordinary Time is under way, we will be hearing from Luke’s Gospel for most of the year. This week, Jesus returns home to Nazareth and in a simple yet dramatic way announces his mission. As we gather to celebrate the Good News of God’s presence in our midst, let us take to heart the mission of Jesus and pray for the grace to carry it out in our own lives.

Jan. 28th Thursday: Feast Day: St. Thomas Aquinas 1 Samuel 18:6-9; Mark 3:7-12 Jan. 29th Friday: 2 Samuel 11:1-4; Mark 4:26-34 th

Jan. 30

Saturday: 2 Samuel 12:1-7; Mark 34:35-41

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Your words, Lord, are Spirits and life.

Esta semana Jesús regresa a Nazaret y de una manera sencilla, pero dramática, anuncia su misión. Reunidos aquí para celebrar la Buena Nueva de la presencia de Dios entre nosotros tomemos en serio la misión de Jesús y oremos para que se nos conceda la gracia de llevarla a cabo en nuestra vida. a diario. Nuestra primera lectura prepara el camino para el Evangelio de hoy. Ambas historias hablan de la proclamación de la palabra de Dios en medio de la asamblea y de cómo la palabra se cumple. San Pablo proclama hoy que somos miembros del cuerpo de Cristo. Como miembros de ese cuerpo estamos obligados a continuar la misión que Jesús proclama. Escuchemos con atención para ver cuál es esa misión.

Child Protection Certification Course: Please note that ALL ministry members must complete the Child Protection Certification Course to participate in any activities involving the youth of the Parish. Be wary of online friendships Today’s teens may seem to be always online, with constant messaging and sharing on social media with a large audience. The internet is a great place to meet people, but these meetings come with potential dangers that can put kids and teens at risk. You don’t know who you’re really talking to online. Pay attention to the sites your kids on computers and mobile devices. Monitor the sites that they visit and ask questions about who they talk to and what information they provide to their online friends. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Preventing Teen Victimization On- and Offline,” email [email protected] Esté prevenido de amistades en Internet Puede parecer que los adolescentes de hoy están siempre en Internet, con mensajes constantes y compartiendo en las redes sociales con una gran audiencia. La Internet es un gran lugar para conocer gente, pero estas reuniones vienen con peligros potenciales que ponen en riesgo a los niños y adolescentes. Usted no sabe con quién está hablando en línea realmente. Ponga atención a los sitios que sus niños visitan en computadoras y aparatos móviles. Haga preguntas sobre con quienes se comunican y qué información proveen a sus amigos en línea.
