parish office. The stipend for the Mass is $10. The candles are

Proclamation of the word. As was Jesus’ custom, he went to the synagogue on a Sabbath day.
He was given the scroll to read and found the passage from Isaiah. He proclaimed the word.
After he has done proclaiming the word, he told those in attendance that the word they heard
is actually made flesh. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is bringing glad tidings to
the poor, announcing freedom to the slaves, recovery of sight to the blind, help to the
oppressed and proclaiming a year acceptable to the Lord.
Jesus’ proclamation of the word is not different from any one who proclaims the word in the
synagogue except for one thing. Jesus is the Word made flesh.
Jesus is not the spoken word but the flesh of the spoken word. If mercy and love are words,
then Jesus is the face of mercy and love. Jesus is mercy and love.
In the synagogue he did not just proclaim mercy and love. He made mercy and love come to
real life because he is mercy and love. Mercy and love are exactly what Jesus did to the
people given to him by the Father.
o0o
The ministry of lectors. Lectors are proclaimers of the word. They do the ministry of the word inspired by Jesus’
example. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, he makes God’s blessing overflowing to those
who are in need of them.
Lectors are empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the word and make God’s blessing present to all.
It is understood that lectors understand the peculiarity of their ministry. Because their ministry is very special,
they must be constantly reflecting on the Scriptures. By constantly reading and reflecting on the Scriptures, they become
one and united with Christ and they can not only proclaim the word in speech but also proclaim the word in action.
All of us are called to be proclaimers of the word. Sharing in the prophetic and priestly offices of Christ, we are
enjoined to always read and proclaim and pray the Scripture.
o0o
Year of Mercy. The Year of Mercy also encourages us to contemplate on the Scripture. Reading and reflecting
upon the Scriptures, especially the New Testament, we become aware of the Jesus event.
Lectio Divina is a beautiful vehicle to contemplate on the Scripture. Lectio Divina gives us an opportunity to go
deeper to the Word and to examine ourselves and our faith life. Lectio Divina will allow us to discover or rediscover the
mercy and love of God.
Lectio Divina is a simple spiritual exercise of reading and prayer. It can be as simple as choosing to read the
readings for the weekend (or maybe a personal choice). Then sit down with the text. Read it slow and pray with it. And
relate it to your daily life, your challenges, your joys, your blessings. Then close every reflection with the Lord’s Prayer.
To make your Lectio Divina ‘worth it’, plan to make a course of action and get the plan done.
La Proclamación de la palabra. Como era de costumbre Jesús, fue a la sinagoga en un día de reposo. Se le dio el
libro a leer y encontró el pasaje de Isaías. Proclamó la palabra. Después de haber hecho la proclamación de la palabra, le
dijo a los asistentes que la palabra que escucharon en realidad está hecho carne. A través del poder del Espíritu Santo,
Jesús estába trayendo buenas nuevas a los pobres, anunciar la libertad a los esclavos, la recuperación de la vista a los
ciegos, ayudar a los oprimidos y proclamar un año de gracia del Señor.
La Proclamación de la palabra de Jesús no es diferente de cualquiera que proclama la palabra en la sinagoga,
excepto por una cosa. Jesús es la Palabra hecha carne.
Jesús no es la palabra hablada pero la carne de la palabra hablada. Si la misericordia y el amor son palabras,
entonces Jesús es el rostro de la misericordia y el amor. Jesús es la misericordia y el amor.
En la sinagoga El no solamente proclamo la misericordia y el amor. El hizo la misericordia y el amor vinieran a
la vida real, porque él es la misericordia y el amor. La misericordia y el amor es exactamente lo que Jesús hizo a la gente
dado a el por el Padre.
o0o
El ministerio de lectores. Los Lectores son anunciadores de la palabra. Ellos hacen el ministerio de la palabra
inspirada por el ejemplo de Jesús. Jesús estaba lleno del Espíritu Santo. A través del Espíritu Santo, que hace que la
bendición de Dios que desborda a los que están en necesidad de ello.
Los Lectores están facultados por el Espíritu Santo para proclamar la palabra y hacer la bendición de Dios
presente para todos.
Se entiende que los lectores entiendan la peculiaridad de su ministerio. Debido a que su ministerio es muy
especial, deben estar en constante reflexión sobre las Escrituras. A fuerza de leer y reflexionar sobre las Escrituras, se
convierten en uno y unidos con Cristo y que no sólo pueden proclamar la palabra en el discurso sino también
proclamar la palabra en acción.
(continua en la pagina próxima)
Todos nosotros estamos llamados a ser anunciadores de la palabra. Compartiéndo profeticamente y
sacerdotalmente en las oficinas de Cristo, estamos obligados a leer siempre y proclamar y rezar la Escritura.
o0o
Año de la Misericordia. El Año de la Misericordia también nos anima a contemplar la Escritura. Leer y
reflexionar sobre las Escrituras, especialmente el Nuevo Testamento, en donde nos damos cuenta de los hecho
de Jesús.
Lectio Divina es un hermoso guia para contemplar la Escritura. El Lectio Divino nos da la oportunidad
de ir más profundo de la Palabra y examinarnos a nosotros mismos y nuestra vida de fe. El Lectio Divina nos
permitirá descubrir o redescubrir la misericordia y el amor de Dios.
Lectio Divina es un ejercicio espiritual simple de la lectura y la oración. Puede ser tan sencillo como
elegir a leer las lecturas para el fin de semana (o tal vez una elección personal). Haga lo siguiente, siéntase con
el texto. Lea las cosas con calma y reza con él. Y relacionelo con su vida diaria, sus desafíos, sus alegrías, sus
bendiciones. Después, cierre todas las reflexiones con la oración del Señor. Para hacer su Lectio Divina, y que
valga la pena planea en poner el curso en acción y terminarlo.

Next weekend, is Commitment Weekend for the 2016 Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal. During Mass we will watch a
video from Archbishop Sample about the Appeal. If you received a personalized commitment card in the mail please
bring it to Mass with you as we join together to support our Catholic Church in western Oregon. If you did not receive
a commitment card in the mail pledge envelopes will be available during Mass.
This next week, please read the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal materials you received in the Parish Bulletin today and
prayerfully reflect on the level of commitment you will make next weekend.
The Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal provides substantial financial support to essential ministries that support parishes in
our Catholic Church in western Oregon. These programs provide education and faith formation at all levels and
provide a Catholic presence for tens of thousands of people.
When we stop to count our abundant blessings, we are aware of how truly blessed we are. The Archbishop’s Catholic
Appeal is an invitation to share your blessings and support for the Gospel mission here in Western Oregon.
Your pledge is also a sign of your gratitude for God’s generous abundance. While we can never out-do God in
generosity, we are called to join in the mission of the Gospel as we put forth the gifts of life, goodness, and grace
through the sharing of our own blessings from God.
