Fi h Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 7, 2016
From the Pastor’s Desk...
Saint Paul reminds us in the second le er to the
Corinthians, “But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the
power will be of God and not from ourselves.” (2 Cor
4:7) It isn’t hard to understand Paul’s image of us as
“earthen vessels”; most of us can relate to feeling fragile
and some mes even a bit cracked. Like the po ery mug
a child might make in an art class and give as a gi to his
father, our life may be far from perfect and a bit out of
shape, but our life is well-loved and holds great worth for
God, our Creator.
In our readings today, we find three men who are clearly
“earthen vessels”, but who are also found to have
greater worth than they might first have perceived.
Isaiah, Paul, and Peter are each brought into an
encounter with God that leaves them both humbled and
exalted. Their stories remind us that when we meet the
holiness of God head-on, we are confronted with the
imperfec on of our humanity. Compared to the
awesomeness of God, who are we with all our limita ons
and imperfec ons? God answers that ques on by
reminding us that, even though we are “earthen vessels”,
we are also God’s crea on. And in God’s eyes we are
precious, worthy enough to hold the treasure of God’s
Holy Spirit.
At Mass each Sunday we echo the words of the Roman
centurion who exclaimed, “Lord I am not worthy that you
should enter under my roof, but only say the word and
my soul shall be healed.” Our worth comes from God.
When we open our hearts to Jesus, the Word of God
made flesh, we discover that worth. It is a worth not
based on human standards or human understanding.
God sees beyond the limita ons of our humanity. And as
God exalts us in our humanity, we are then challenged to
be one with God in li ing up the lowly and exal ng all
those who are made to feel unworthy.
This is the challenge of the Jubilee of Mercy. When we
find someone feeling hopeless and dejected, and when
the words of Simon Peter, “Depart from me, Lord, for I
am a sinful man,” seem to be ringing true, how do we
bring God’s mercy to bear? Our first response may be
one of shame and humilia on, but God’s is not. God
does not say, “I reject you, sinful human that you are”
but “I love you, child of God!” Jesus in the gospel says to
Simon Peter, “Do not be afraid.” Jesus calls Peter from
disgrace to grace, from indignity to glory. And, hopefully
we can be unafraid to do the same for one another. Yes,
we are all earthen vessels. And yes, we all hold within us
the amazing treasure of God divine presence.

Desde el escritorio del Párroco…
San Pablo nos recuerda en la segunda carta a los
Corin os: "Pero tenemos este tesoro en vasos de
barro, para que la excelencia del poder sea de Dios
y no de nosotros." (2 Cor 4: 7) Es fácil entender
este ejemplo de San Pablo. La mayoría de nosotros nos
sen mos como "vasos de barro", frágil y a veces un poco
quebrada. Al igual que la taza de cerámica que un niño
hace en una clase de arte y le da como regalo a su padre,
nuestra vida puede parecer imperfecta y un poco fuera
de forma, pero nuestra vida es muy querida y ene un
gran valor para Dios, nuestra Creador.
En las lecturas de hoy, nos encontramos con tres
hombres que son claramente "vasos de barro", pero que
también encontraron un valor mejor que habían
percibido. Isaías, Pablo y Pedro, en sus encuentros con
Dios, se quedaron humillados y exaltados a la misma vez.
Sus historias nos recuerdan que cuando nos encontramos con la san dad de Dios, nos enfrentamos a la
imperfección de nuestra humanidad. Y en comparación
con la grandeza de Dios, nos sen mos limitados e
imperfectos. Pero Dios nos recuerda que a pesar de que
somos "vasos de barro", también somos su creación. En
los ojos de Dios somos preciosos y dignos de poseer el
tesoro del Espíritu Santo.
Cada domingo decimos las palabras del centurión
romano que exclamó: "Señor, no soy digno de que entres
en mi casa pero una palabra tuya bastará para sanarme.”
Nuestro valor viene de Dios. Cuando abrimos nuestro
corazón a Jesús, la Palabra de Dios hecha carne,
descubrimos ese valor. Y ese valor no está basado en los
estándares humanos o en la comprensión humana. Dios
ve más allá de las limitaciones de nuestra humanidad. Y
mientras Dios nos exalta en nuestra humanidad,
entonces estamos desafiados a hacer los mismo,
levantando a los humildes y exaltando a los que se
sienten indignos.
Este es el desa o del Jubileo de la Merced. Cuando nos
encontramos con alguien que se siente desesperado y
aba do, y cuando las palabras de Simón Pedro,
"Apártate de mí, Señor, porque soy un pecador," parece
ciertas, ¿cómo podemos llevar a cabo la misericordia de
Dios? Nuestra primera respuesta puede ser una de
vergüenza y humillación, pero no es de Dios. Dios no nos
dice, "Yo te rechazo, pecador que eres", sino "¡Te amo,
hijo de Dios!" Jesús en el Evangelio dice a Simón Pedro:
"No temas." Jesús llama a Pedro de la desgracia a la
gracia , de la indignidad a la gloria. Ojalá no tengamos
miedo para hacer lo mismo el uno por el otro. Sí, todos
somos vasos de barro. Y sí, todos también tenemos por
dentro el increíble tesoro de la presencia divina de Dios.

Lenten Regula ons
Abs nence from meats is to
be observed by all Catholics 14
years old and older on Ash
Wednesday and on all the Fridays of Lent.
Fas ng is to be observed on Ash Wednesday by
all Catholics who are 18 years of age but not yet
59. Those who are bound by this may take only one
full meal. Two smaller meals are permi ed if
necessary to maintain strength according to one's
needs, but ea ng solid foods between meals is not
permi ed.
The special Paschal fast and abs nence are
prescribed for Good Friday and encouraged for Holy
Saturday.
By the threefold discipline of fas ng, almsgiving,
and prayer the Church keeps Lent from Ash
Wednesday un l the evening of Holy Thursday. All
of the faithful and the catechumens should
undertake the serious prac ce of these three
tradi ons. Failure to observe peniten al days
totally or a substan al number of such days must be
considered serious.
Our US Bishops issued in 1966 this statement on
peniten al observance: "On Weekdays of Lent, we
strongly recommend par cipa on in daily Mass and
self-imposed observances of fas ng. In light of
grave human needs which weigh on the Chris an
conscience in all seasons, we urge par cularly
during Lent, generosity to local, na onal and world
programs of sharing of all things needed to translate
our duty to penance into a means of implemen ng
the right of the poor to their part of our
abundance."
Las reglas cuaresmales
La Iglesia nos llama en la
estación de la Cuaresma a renovar
nuestras vidas como discípulos de
Jesús, y nos prepara para la celebración del Misterio
Pascual en la Semana Santa. Las siguientes normas
Cuaresmales vienen de la Iglesia universal y son
aplicadas a toda la Arquidiócesis.
La abs nencia durante la Cuaresma: Todos los
católicos mayores de 14 años deben abstenerse de
comer carne el Miércoles de Ceniza (Febrero 25, 2009)
y todos los viernes de Cuaresma.
El Ayuno debe ser observado el Miércoles de Ceniza
por todos los católicos que han cumplido los dieciocho
(18) años, y les animamos a hacer sacrificios durante la
Cuaresma. Los católicos que han llegado a la edad de
cincuenta y nueve (59) años son dispensados de esta
regla. Las personas que ayunan sólo pueden hacer una
comida completa, y dos comidas pequeñas si son
necesarias para mantener sus fuerzas de acuerdo a las
necesidades individuales, pero no se permite alimento
sólido entre las comidas.
El Triduo Pascual: El ayuno y abs nencia especial
son prescritos para el Viernes Santo (Abril 10, 2009) y
recomendados para el Sábado Santo.
Por medio de la triple disciplina del ayuno, la
abs nencia y la caridad, así como de la oración, la
Iglesia observa la Cuaresma desde el Miércoles de
Ceniza hasta la tarde del Jueves Santo, cuando el
Santo Triduo Pascual da inicio. Todos los fieles y los
catecúmenos que se preparan para su bau smo en la
Vigilia Pascual, deben incorporar estas disciplinas en
sus vidas. Cualquier falla en aplicar estas normas es
considerada como pecado de seriedad.
A través de la Cuaresma y en amor fraternal
mantengámonos mutuamente en oración, orando,
asimismo, por las necesidades del mundo entero.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis calls us to
share with everyone the tender compassion of God that we
ourselves have experienced. In today’s Gospel, Luke uses a
special Greek word conveying just such tenderness. In the
other Gospels, Jesus calls the disciples to be “fishers,” haleis,
the same word that means catching fish with hooks or nets,
to be killed and eaten. But Luke uses zogron, from zoe or “life,” meaning
“catch or gather people alive,” as animal lovers
capture without harming, rescue from “the wild” for a be er life, and
protect in aquarium or zoo, tenderly cared for by professionals
commi ed to the creatures’ well-being. So in Luke’s vision—and Pope
Francis’ as well—we who have been “caught alive” by God’s mercy
ourselves are to become “missionaries of mercy” during this Jubilee
Year of Mercy, rescuing fellow sinners from danger and gathering them
into Jesus’ community to enjoy fullness of life.
