A DIOS TODA LA GLORIA

Una característica peculiar de la primera parte del Evangelio según san Marcos es que en general Jesús obra un milagro y luego le dice al beneficiario del milagro que no se lo cuente a nadie. Se ha especulado mucho al respecto: Marcos está preparando el terreno para el gran “secreto” que se revelará cuando Pedro proclame que Jesús es el Mesías en Cesárea de Filipo; otros comentaristas más escépticos sostienen que Jesús, quien era plenamente consciente de su naturaleza humana, sabía que la mejor manera de di-fundir la Buena Nueva era pidiéndole a las personas que la mantuvieran en secreto. La reflexión de esta manera de guardar el secreto que nos resulta muy útil, sin embargo, es que Jesús estaba comenzando su ministerio público de la forma en que describe Pablo: lo estaba haciendo por la gloria de Dios, no para beneficio propio sino para beneficio de todos. Pablo después escribiría a los filipenses que Jesús “se rebajó a sí mismo” para parecerse a nosotros. Y vemos cómo esta humildad se pone en práctica hoy en la curación del leproso. Jesús está intentando revelar la presencia del Reino de Dios entre las personas, no para recibir gloria sino para que Dios fuera glorificado por él. Imitar esta forma de obrar, lo cual Pablo sugiere que hagan las facciones judías y griegas cristianas de Corintio, todavía nos resulta muy útil hoy.

731 Allin Drive, Harrodsburg

We will be reading and discussing Six Hours One Friday: Living in the Power of the Cross by Max Lucado. From the back cover: "There is a truth greater than all the losses and sorrows of life. And it can be discovered in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ....Peace where there should be pain. Confidence in the midst of crisis. Hope defying despair.”

Since the book is divided into three sections, we will meet at 6:30 PM on the first three Mondays of March (5, 12, and 19). Once again Ed Eivers has graciously volunteered his home for our meetings.

If you intend to participate, please let Mickie Noel know either by email (mnoel9802@yahoo.com) or text (859-516-8168) as soon as possible so that Mary Beth can order books. Cost should be less than $10.00.

FAST AND ABSTINENCE GUIDELINES

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.

For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be taken, but not to equal a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.

COLD AND FLU SEASON AND COMMUNION

The flu and cold season is underway.

When we suspect illness, each of us can help decrease

the spread of illness by not receiving the

Precious Blood of Christ from the cup

during Communion.

FLU PREVENTION RECOMMENDATIONS

Rosie Albright, Parish Nurse

The flu is widespread in Kentucky this year with deadly consequences to our young and our elderly. To protect your family please do the following:

1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash them as long as it takes to say the Hail Mary. Carry hand sanitizer to use when you are out.

2. Avoid crowds. 3. Avoid touching your face, mouth,

eyes with your hands. 4. Be tested for the flu at the first

signs of the flu. There is a short window from exposure and being able to receive Tamiflu protocol.

5. If you or your family have the flu, stay home from work or school.

Blessings and Be Well.
