Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
The readings today present God’s call to three very reluctant
people: the prophet Isaiah, the apostle Paul and the disciple Peter.
Each felt himself unworthy to serve the Lord and each converted
after personally experiencing the overwhelming grace of God’s
forgiveness and acceptance. Three very imperfect people heard
God’s call and responded.
Just as God called Isaiah, Paul and Peter, God calls us. At our
baptism each of us became a member of the Body of Christ
sharing in the mission of the Church given to us by Jesus in
Matthew 28:19-20, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I have
commanded you.” When we receive Confirmation the Holy Spirit
gives us the strength we need to “spread and defend the faith by
word and action as true witnesses of Christ.” In Eucharist we
receive the nourishment we need to be transformed in Christ.
Through the sacraments we have everything we need to respond to
God’s call “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?”
Today’s readings remind all of us that no matter how unworthy we
feel, we are empowered to minister. Each of us is blessed with the
gift of God’s unconditional love. It is that love that gives us the
grace to respond to God, “Here I am, send me.”
Holy God of our happiness,
you entrust your Good News of life
to weak and fallible people.
Keep us from discouragement
and give us the strength to speak your message
with the language of our life.
Let Jesus your Son work with us and in us,
that each of us may have the courage to say:
Here I am, Lord,
send me as your messenger
to share your glad tidings of happiness
with all willing to listen.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

Viernes Santo (25 de marzo) son días de ayuno y abstinencia. La abstinencia obliga a partir de los 14 años y el ayuno desde los 18 hasta los 59 años
de edad. El ayuno consiste en hacer una sola comida fuerte en el día y la
abstinencia es no comer carne. Este es un modo de pedirle perdón a Dios
por haberlo ofendido y decirle que queremos cambiar de vida para agradarlo siempre.

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
7 de febrero 2016
Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Historias de Envío. El tema central de las lecturas de hoy es el
envío, que literalmente significa: ser puesto en el camino. Tres
cosas conviene reflexionar en este domingo: quién envía, a quiénes
envía, y qué caminos los envía. Empecemos sin embargo por los
enviados. En la primera lectura se trata de Isaías, que se reconoce
como "hombre de labios impuros;" en el evangelio los llamados
son unos pescadores sin mucho éxito. En esos personajes quedan
bien representadas las dos grandes limitaciones humanas: el pecado y la insuficiencia o impotencia. Isaías se ve obligado a
reconocer su situación de pecado ante la luz deslumbrante de Dios
que lo llama. Los pescadores de Galilea, en cambio, no han obrado
mal sino que sencillamente no han sabido o no han podido lograr
lo que querían. Solemos decir: no se les dieron las cosas. Si uno lo
piensa bien, también el pecado es una clase de insuficiencia,
aunque interna. Pecamos porque no soportamos el peso del
camino. Queremos encontrar un atajo hacia la felicidad o asegurar
que sí valemos, que nuestras cosas importan, que nuestras fuerzas
y deseos pueden imponerse. Todas estas limitaciones de los que
son enviados terminan por producir extrañeza: ¿por qué el Dios
que todo lo puede quiere valerse de instrumentos tan frágiles, tan
romos, tan proclives al error y tan capaces de traición? La pregunta
se hace más aguda si uno piensa en las historias vocacionales, a
veces de final triste, que uno conoce en la Iglesia.
Dios, que envía. Esa pregunta que Dios se hace en el pasaje que
oímos de Isaías tiene una tensión y una profundidad inmensas. He
aquí a Dios que pregunta: "¿A quién enviaré?" No le falta amor
pero sí le falta quién le ayude. Todos necesitan y es tanta su necesidad, que pocos están dispuestos para aliviar la necesidad de otros. El resultado es que Dios se queda como sin ayuda. Bueno, ¿y
no podría Dios resolverlo todo, sanarlo todo, completarlo todo por
sí mismo? Sí podría pero a precio de negar uno de los rasgos que él
mismo quiso imprimir en su creatura racional, a saber, su dimensión social. Dios mismo nos creó capaces de interactuar unos
con otros. Si Dios, sin intervención de ninguna otra causa, atendiera Él mismo a todas las necesidades y dolencias de cada ser humano, habría una dolencia y carencia que se quedaría sin atender, a
saber, la carencia de amor y servicio entre nosotros. Esa parte
nuestra quedaría enferma o atrofiada si nunca se diera el caso de
que un ser humano sirve con genuina caridad a otro. Así pues, al
crearnos como seres en sociedad, Dios en parte eligió tener que
buscar "ayuda" en el ser humano para levantar y redimir al mismo
ser humano.
El Camino al que somos Enviados. Isaías grita: "¡Envíame a mí!"
Sus labios han sido purificados por un ascua del santuario y por el
ministerio de un Ángel, y siente en su corazón urgencia de servir.
Quiere ser puesto en camino, aunque todavía no conoce ese
camino. Algo parecido sucede en el evangelio de hoy: aquellos
pescadores lo dejaron "todo," y lo siguieron. Quizá sabían lo que
dejaban pero en todo caso no parece que supieran exactamente lo
que encontrarían. Parece ser ésta una ley del llamado que Dios
hace. También Abraham, en Génesis 12, es llamado por Dios, y es
puesto en camino, aunque de ese camino lo único que sabe es que
Dios se lo mostrará (Génesis 12,1). Y en realidad eso es lo único
que importa del camino: que Dios lo conoce bien. No interesa tanto saber por dónde voy sino con quién voy. Amén.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Fr. Jacques Philippe was born on March 12, 1947 in Lorraine, France. In 1976, he met the then recentlyfounded Community of the Beatitudes and answered the Lord’s call to follow Him through this vocation. He
then spent several years in Nazareth and Jerusalem immersing himself in the study of Hebrew and the Jewish
roots of Christianity. In 1981, he traveled to Rome to study theology and canon law, was ordained a priest in
1985, and began his work as a spiritual director, working in the formation of priests and seminarians of the
Community. He has preached retreats and has consolidated his principal retreat themes into several books on
spirituality. In recent years, he has devoted himself primarily to spiritual direction and preaching retreats.
With over one million copies sold in 24 languages, Jacques Philippe’s writings on themes such as prayer, interior
freedom, and peace of heart have become classics of modern Catholic spirituality.

In Honor of this Jubilee of Mercy we will offer
Wisdom & Works of Mercy
We will use: The One Thing is Three + You Did it to Me by Fr. Michael Gaitly
10 weeks
Mondays
11:15 AM -1:15 PM
The Last Supper. Communion. The Great Feast.
Bread and Wine. The Holy Eucharist.
Jesus said “This is my Body” and “This is my
Blood.” Some say they’re merely symbols of
remembrance. Others say they’re really the Body
and Blood of Christ, but can’t explain how that’s
possible. The Eucharist is the center-point of the
Mass–but why?
The answers are here. Renowned teacher Dr.
Brant Pitre guides us through Scripture, history,
and Church teaching to illuminate the wonder
and miracle of the Eucharist. With deep insight,
Dr. Pitre gives a fresh perspecve for
understanding the mystery that is the Eucharist.
“It is my burning desire that during this Jubilee, the Chrisan people may
reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy” (Pope Francis).

A Journey of Conversion
For those wanting to be Catholic
Those needing to complete their Sacraments
Anyone wanting to learn more about the Catholic Faith
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults): Helping you to live a Gospel inspired life in an increasingly secular world
Have you been coming to Mass for awhile and think, “what does it mean to be Catholic?” Are you
interested in finding out what Catholics really believe? Join us for Inquiry.
Now might be the perfect time to join us. Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm.
All sessions are informal and completely commitment free.
Our RCIA topic for this week’s RCIA class
Wednesday, February 3, is Lent.
“Remember you are dust and to dust you will return” and
“Repent and believe in the Gospel”
By the solemn 40 days of Lent the Church unites herself
each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert. (CCC540)
Upcoming classes include:
Feb 10 Ash Wednesday;
Mass Dismissal
Feb 17 Prayer
Feb 24 Morality
In the RCIA, Lent is known as the season of
Purification & Enlightenment. Our Rite tells us
(#139): ...it is a period of more intense spiritual
preparation consisting more in interior reflection
than in catechetical instruction. It is intended to
purify minds and hearts, promote acts of penance
and lead to a deeper knowledge of Christ.
RCIA Community Meal: 6-6:30pm in Loreto
Hall. Childcare available for all RCIA sessions.
