Do you have a JOB or a MINISTRY?
Check this new perspective. Some people
have a JOB in the church; others involve
themselves in a MINISTRY.
What's the difference?
If you are doing it just because no one else
will, it's a JOB.
If you are doing it to serve the Lord, it's a
MINISTRY.
If you quit because someone criticizes
you, it's a JOB.
If you keep on serving, it's a MINISTRY.
If you'll do it only so long as it does not
interfere with other activities, it's a JOB.
If you're committed to staying with it even
when it means letting go of other things,
it's a MINISTRY.
For additional information:

You'll have the opportunity to give the gift of life at
our St. Mark's Blood Drive. You'll also receive a miniphysical, free movie ticket voucher and a chance to

The office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry has started our pilgrimage towards attending the National Catholic Youth Conference; a wonderful, faith filled three day experience to be held in Indianapolis in November of 2013. Just as in the past, we need
the help of our parish family to make this happen. Therefore we ask you:
1. Travel with us in prayer as we prepare and plan for our journey.
2. Consider being a sponsor for one of our teens or young adults. Not only will you be
walking with your teen on this journey, but you will also share in the abundance of
God’s grace that will flow when they arrive home. Each teen that is sponsored will be
writing you a personal note about each day of the convention, which will be given to
you upon their return.
3. Watch us live from your home . The NFCYM will be live steaming the entire convention during the four day experience!.
“Each person will gain something. When people give God their time in gathering,
God will grace them with what they need in those moments.”
Bishop Timothy Doherty
The Sacrament of Confirmation
CCC # 1309 Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a
more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit - his
actions, his gifts, and his biddings - in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end catechesis for Confirmation should
strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal
Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the
preparation of confirmands.
The second mandatory class will be held on Thursday : Feb 7 at 6:30 PM
Please plan on arriving 15 minutes early so we can start on time! The classes will run
until 9 PM.
Confirmation Rehearsal: Sunday, May 19 at 6:30 PM

Make a Gift through an
IRA Charitable Rollover
Normally, a distribution from your IRA is taxed as ordinary
income. However, "fiscal cliff" tax legislation just enacted extends the opportunity throughout 2013 for individuals 70½ or
older to make a direct distribution from your IRA to a qualified charity, such as your parish, Our Capital Campaign, the
Annual Pastoral Appeal, the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of St. Petersburg, or
another diocesan institution. Such qualified direct distributions to charity from your
IRA are not subject to income tax. The new law also provides that you may consider
such distributions made in January 2013 as made in 2012. In addition, the new law
provides a special election available to individuals who took a distribution from their
IRA after November 30, 2012 and before January 1, 2013, and who make a gift to a
qualified charity before February 1, 2013, to treat the gift as an IRA charitable rollover
even though the distribution is not directly from the IRA to charity.
For more information about how you and the Church can benefit from an IRA charitable rollover, contact the parish office.

Second Sunday of Ordinary Time
YEAR OF FAITH - 2012-2013
by Kevin Fritz
Faith is both certain and mysterious. Faith is certain because it is
based on the Word of God. We believe that God has revealed the
truth to us and we know God cannot deceive us. We can say that
faith is certain not because of us but because of God. This gives us
a sense of conviction. At the same time faith is mysterious because we cannot understand God completely. Saint Augustine
used the image of a thimble and said it would be easier to put the
whole of the ocean into a thimble than it is to comprehend and
understand God.
This is because, while God has revealed the truth to us in revelation and we know this is
certain, there is a limitation in revelation that is not due to God who is unlimited but to
ourselves who are limited. The fullness of God is more than we can comprehend as St.
Paul declares: "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!" (Romans 11:33)
This is important for us to reflect on because this is the basis of our spiritual life. It reminds us who we are - a people who are dependent on God who is greater than we are.
There is a danger when we lose sight of this. We can become self-sufficient and decide
that we no longer need God. In fact we can attempt to make ourselves God.
In the Old Testament we hear about King Uzziah when he faced the threat of the Assyrian army. He decides that he will give God five days to come to their aid. If five days
pass without God coming to their aid, Uzziah will surrender. Judith challenges Uzziah
and the elders:
"Who are you, then, that you should have put God to the test this day, setting yourselves in the place of God in human affairs? It is the Lord Almighty for whom you are
laying down conditions; will you never understand anything? You cannot plumb the
depths of the human heart or grasp the workings of the human mind; how then can you
fathom God, who has made all these things, discern his mind, and understand his plan?
No, my brothers, do not anger the Lord our God. For if he does not wish to come to our
aid within the five days, he has it equally within his power to protect us at such time as
he pleases, or to destroy us in the face of our enemies. It is not for you to make the Lord
our God give surety for his plans. God is not man that he should be moved by threats,
nor human, that he may be given an ultimatum." (Judith 8:12-16)

I Am There
With You
Faith challenges us to trust with conviction in the certainty of God's Word
while at the same time not always understanding God's plans for us. Faith is
certain because of God; it is mysterious because of us limited human beings
who cannot fully comprehend God's plan.

Analyst. He studied theology at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in New York.
On January 26th and 27th, you'll have the opportunity to give the gift of
life at our St. Mark's Blood Drive. You'll also receive a mini-physical, a
terrific tee shirt and a chance to win a great Super Bowl Gift Basket. The
basket will be filled with gift certificates, snacks, wine and other goodies.
Sign ups will be available after all Masses on Jan.12/13 and Jan.19/20.

II Domingo Ordinario
Llamados a la Proclamación
En nuestros tiempos es muy difícil transmitir cualquier mensaje público con eficacia. El
mundo del mercadeo está saturado de palabras e imagines que constantemente nos
confrontan. Solo hay que mirar el televisor o entrar al internet para ver lo difícil y
competitivo que es transmitir una palabra al consumidor. Y como si esto fuera poco, el
precio monetario a pagar que se requiere por cada segundo de transmisión es a veces
extraordinario y astronómico.

Ultreya Parroquial, la cual se

¡Recuerda que Cristo cuenta contigo!
Pero, con todos estos retos al frente, el ser humano no por eso abandona sus esfuerzos
de transmitir sus mensajes y de esta manera comunicarse. Todo lo contrario parece ser
verdad, entre más difícil las cosas, mas interés humano.
En las lecturas de hoy, encontramos algo similar. Cada una de ellas nos llama a la
proclamación de un mensaje concreto y lleno de esperanza.
Con el profeta Isaías, vemos como nuestras palabras y mensajes deben ser aquellos que
vienen del Dios nuestro. En su proclamación, el profeta nos recuerda que ya desde un
principio Dios nos ha elegido como parte de su gozo y elevado a su presencia (Isaías
62:1-5). Ahora bien, nuestras bocas tampoco pueden permanecer serradas en el
silencio, tenemos que comunicar esta obra maravillosa de Dios en nuestra vida: “Por
amor a ti, Sion, no me quedaré callado; por amor a ti, Jerusalén, no descansaré hasta
que tu victoria brille como el amanecer y tu salvación como una antorcha encendida”
(Isaías 62:1).
Como nos lo pide el salmo de hoy. Tenemos que proclamar las grandes maravillas que
se encuentran con Dios. Con cantos llenos de júbilo, con cantos llenos de grandes
novedades tenemos que ir a todos los confines del corazón humano para así anunciar y
exigir la gloria que pertenece a nuestro Dios—en él está la verdadera justicia y
salvación. “Digan a las naciones: ‘¡el Señor es Rey!’ Él afirmó el mundo, para que no se
mueva; él gobierna a los pueblos con igualdad” (Salmo 96:10).
Y según vallamos respondiendo a este llamado a la proclamación, permanecemos
confiados y agradecidos por la fuerza del Espíritu Santo en nuestras vidas; la fuerza y
fuego del Espíritu, el cual nos da los bienes y dones correspondientes. Es en el Espíritu
donde nuestra proclamación encuentra su matiz propia: según nuestro don,
proclamaremos con todo conocimiento, sanación, obras inmensas, profecía,
interpretación de lenguas, y sabiduría (I Corintios 12:4-11). Cada uno de nosotros
respondiendo con gran discernimiento y atención.
Siguiendo el ejemplo de María en la boda de Caná, tenemos que estar dispuestos a
compartir el mejor vino que el mundo puede llegar a conocer: La persona de Jesús
Cristo. Es precisamente este el mensaje que se tiene que proclamar y repartir; solo en
él y con él nuestras aguas se convierten y se trasforman en ríos de vida eterna.
En un mundo repleto de mensajes pasajeros y superficiales, vale toda una vida esta
proclamación divina que se nos brinda en Jesús—cueste lo que cueste, esta Palabra sí
merece nuestro sacrificio y entrega total. El mandato de María en la boda es también
para nosotros hoy en día: “Hagan todo lo que él les diga” (Juan 2:5).

PILDORAS DE NUESTRA FE
POR: DIACONO JOSÉ MORONTA
Calendario Maya
El año pasado se creó mucha tensión debido a una supuesta predicción del fin del mundo por parte de los Mayas. Según esa
creencia, el mundo se acabaría el pasado 21 de diciembre, y ya vemos que ni el sol se apagó, ni hubo cataclismos ni cosas que
lamentar.
El calendario Maya es un invento muy preciso y nos asombra su precisión científica para medir el tiempo; pero estos aborígenes
no intentaban predecir el futuro, no anunciaron catástrofes, mucho menos el fin del mundo.
¿De donde salió la idea de la predicción del fin del mundo?
Loa Mayas medía los años de la humanidad por periodos de 400 años; a cada uno lo llamaron baktún. Su calendario abarca 13
baktunes; al terminar, se cierra un ciclo, que es lo que ocurre el 21 de diciembre de 2012, pero no significa que luego venga el
caos. Es algo parecido a la cuenta de nuestro calendario gregoriano: El 31 de diciembre del año 2000 concluyó el siglo XX, y el
1 de Enero del año 2001 empezó un nuevo siglo; pero nada pasó con ese cambio de siglo, como tampoco cuando se acabó lo
previsto en el calendario Maya.
¿Nació Jesucristo realmente un 25 de diciembre?
La Biblia no dice ni el día ni el mes del nacimiento de Jesús; sólo menciona a los gobernantes civiles y religiosos de la época, en
base a lo cual, en fecha tardía, se hizo el cálculo del año en que nació, con un error de cuatro o seis años.
La encarnación del Verbo de Dios y su nacimiento en Belén obviamente son muy importantes, pues son la presencia visible,
histórica, tangible, del amor de Dios. Pero lo definitivamente trascendente es la muerte y sobre todo la resurrección de Jesús,
que están muy precisas y detalladas en la Biblia.
Lo que más importó a los evangelistas fue no el día del nacimiento de Jesucristo (Incluso, Marcos y Juan ni lo mencionan) sino
el día de la resurrección. Los cuatro concuerdan en que fue el primer día de la semana, llamado luego domingo. Hubo que
esperar cuatro o cinco siglos para comenzar a celebrar la Navidad, escogiendo el solsticio de invierno como fecha simbólica,
por la observación del movimiento del sol que hicieron egipcios, griegos, romanos y otras culturas, al igual que los sabios
mayas.
Los paganos festejaban que en el solsticio de invierno los día comenzaban a ser más largos y que el sol nuevamente venciera a
la noche, a la oscuridad. Y honraban al emperador, que se consideraba hijo del sol. Los cristianos, a partir del siglo IV y V,
cambiaron el sentido de esas fiestas paganas en honor del sol, y empezaron a celebrar la Navidad precisamente el 25 de
diciembre, cumbre de las fiestas paganas, considerando que el verdadero Sol que vence la oscuridad del pecado y de la muerte,
es Jesucristo.
Los líderes musulmanes divididos por el saludo ''Feliz Navidad''
El 19 de diciembre pasado el responsable del Consejo de Ulemas Indonesios (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI), ordenó a los
musulmanes que se abstuvieran en Indonesia de desear "una Feliz Navidad" a un cristiano, y mucho menos participar en una
ceremonia o encuentro relacionados con la Navidad. Recordó a los musulmanes que en 1981 se dictó una ley religiosa que
prohibía a los musulmanes del país asistir a una celebración de Navidad, lo mismo que a las festividades ligadas a las mismas.
"… porque estas celebraciones son de naturaleza religiosa y porque es haram (prohibido) para un musulmán participar en
ellas", precisó el líder religioso.
Sin embargo, otro líder religioso piensa distinto pues ha dicho públicamente que personalmente saludaba a sus amigos
cristianos con un "Feliz Navidad" pero que estas palabras tenían en su boca el significado de un saludo simple y que no se las
podía prohibir. Precisó sin embargo que no les aconsejaba a los musulmanes de Indonesia decir "Feliz Navidad " aunque debían
sin embargo respetar el derecho de los cristianos a celebrar su fiesta.
¿Es difícil para un cristiano vivir la Navidad en una cultura islámica?
En Indonesia, país dónde el 85% de la población se considera musulmana y donde los cristianos forman una minoría de cerca
del 10% de la población, el lugar del cristianismo es real y reconocido. A titulo de ejemplo, tres fiestas cristianas las disfruta
toda la población: Navidad, Viernes Santo y Jueves de la Ascensión.
Por otro lado, los centros comerciales hacen una llamada a las decoraciones de Navidad y aprovechan las fiestas que asociadas
a ella para favorecerlas, como por ejemplo, la Fiesta de San Valentín. Más allá de este aspecto comercial, no es raro que los
musulmanes acudan a compartir con sus vecinos cristianos una comida de Navidad el 25 de diciembre, tal como los cristianos
van a compartir una comida con los musulmanes en Idul-Fitri, las celebraciones que marcan el fin del Ramadán.
Sin embargo, no podemos ilusionarnos con que siempre y en todos los países musulmanes existe tolerancia y un ambiente
acogedor y favorable a los cristianos, pues en ese país se han desarrollado acosos y persecuciones en contra de los cristianos
cuando algún líder religioso extremista incita a la violencia. Esto demuestra que los pueblos se comportan según los lineamientos de sus líderes religiosos. No olvidemos encomendar en nuestras oraciones a nuestras autoridades religiosas… y a las de
otras religiones, para que Dios Espíritu Santo siempre les inspire pensamientos de justicia, paz y amor fraterno.
