Raul Arzola†

Grant us, O merciful God, protection in our weakness, that we, who keep the Memorial of the Immaculate Mother

of God, may with the help of her intercession, rise up from our iniquities.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

El papa Francisco ha anun-ciado que el próximo 11 de febrero se celebrará en toda la Iglesia la XXV Jornada Mun-dial del Enfermo. Nos dice en su carta: “Como Santa Bernadette, estamos bajo la mirada de María. La humilde muchacha de Lour-des cuenta que la Virgen, a la que llamaba «la hermosa Se-ñora», la miraba como se mira a una persona. Estas sencillas palabras describen la plenitud de una relación. Bernadette, pobre, analfabeta y enferma, se siente mirada por María como persona. La hermosa Señora le habla con gran respeto, sin lásti-ma. Esto nos recuerda que cada paciente es y será siempre un ser hu-mano, y debe ser tratado en consecuencia. Los enfermos, como las per-sonas que tienen una discapacidad incluso muy grave, tienen una digni-dad inalienable y una misión en la vida y nunca se convierten en sim-ples objetos, aunque a veces puedan parecer meramente pasivos, pero en realidad nunca es así.” El Papa invita a los enfermos, a los que sufren, a los médicos, enferme-ras, familiares y voluntarios que veamos en María, salud de los enfer-mos, la ternura del amor de Dios y el abandono a su voluntad. Nos invita a reflexionar en cómo la fragilidad puede ser transformada en apoyo para los demás como ocurrió con Bernardette después que fue tocada por la gracia a través de María. Nos recuerda también que la Señora pidió que se rece por los pecadores indicándonos que además del deseo de la curación necesitamos vivir nuestras vidas como verda-deros discípulos misioneros de Cristo. Oremos con el Santo Padre: “María, Madre nuestra, que en Cristo nos acoges como hijos, fortalece en nuestros corazones la espera con-fiada, auxílianos en nuestras enfermedades y sufrimientos, guíanos has-ta Cristo, hijo tuyo y hermano nuestro, y ayúdanos a encomendarnos al Padre que realiza obras grandes.”

David Escalona† Sunday, February 10, 2019 to Saturday, February 16, 2019 Then I heard

the voice the Lord say-ing,

“Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” “Here I am, “I said, “send me!”— Isaiah 6:8

Escuch entonces la voz del Señor que decía:

“¿A qui n enviar ? ¿Qui n ir de pa e mía?”

Yo le respond : “Aqu estoy, Señor, envíame”.

— Isaías 6:8 Prayer while visiting the Most Blessed Sacrament My Lord Jesus Christ, for the love which You bear to men, You remain night and day in this Sacrament full of compassion and of love, awaiting, calling, and welcoming all who come to visit You. I believe that You are present in the Sacrament of the Altar: I adore You from the abyss of my nothingness, and I thank You for all the graces which You have bestowed upon me and in particular for having given me Yourself in this Sacrament, for having given me your holy Mother Mary for my advocate, and for having called me to visit You in this chapel. I now salute Your most loving Heart: and this for three ends: 1. In thanksgiving for this great gift; 2. To make amends to You for all the outrages which You receive in this Sacrament from all Your enemies; 3. I intend by this visit to adore You in all the places on earth in which You are the least revered and the most abandoned. My Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I grieve for having so many times offended Your in inite goodness. I promise with Your grace never more to offend You in the future. Now, miserable and unworthy though I be, I consecrate myself to You without reserve; I give You my entire will, my affections, my desires, and all that I possess. From now on dispose of me and of all that I have as You please. All that I ask of You and desire is Your holy love, inal perseverance, and the perfect accomplishment of Your will. I recommend to You the souls in purgatory; but especially those who had the greatest devotion to the most Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I also recommend to You all poor sinners. My dear Savior, I unite all my affections with the affections of Your most loving Heart; and I offer them, thus united, to Your eternal Father, and beseech Him in Your name to vouchsafe, for Your love, to accept them. Amen. by St. Alphonsus Liguori

The Reign of God comes about because people com-mit to reversing their lives completely, to embracing new vision, new values. Many popular television shows exploit an unattractive side of human nature by pitting contestants against one another, even to the point of performing dangerous stunts or devious schemes, to gain money or favor. At the liturgy, we counter that impulse by com-mitting ourselves to live generously. In response to Christ’s total gift, we offer bread and wine as the em-blems of our lives, our hopes, our joys and sorrows. The bread and wine carried to the altar contain our lives, and by offering our lives to God, we prepare to receive the gift of God’s own life. We are to become what we receive: the body of Christ. On Sundays, this self‑giving is often accompanied by a collection and procession of gifts for the poor and money for the upkeep of the parish. There are certain-ly other methods of collecting money, some perhaps more efficient. Yet the act of giving from our abun-dance, and attending to the needs of the poor, opens us up to participation in the changes the Reign of God requires.——James Field

Please join St. Lawrence Community in prayer for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Let us pray together for our seminarians.

Lord Jesus, eternal High Priest, grant these seminarians the wisdom and grace they need in their formation. Help them to grow in holi-ness and integrity for service to your people as their future priests. Guide them in their studies, deepen their life of prayer, and sustain them in the difficult moments they face. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Anthony of Padua, we entrust these men to you, who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, on God, forever and ever. Amen.

Unámonos en oración por los seminaristas. Señor Jesús, Sumo y Eterno Sacerdote, concede a nuestros Semina-ristas la sabiduría y las gracias que necesitan para su formación ha-cia el sacerdocio. Ayúdalos a crecer en santidad para que aprendan a servir al Pueblo de Dios con integridad y generosidad. Te pedimos que los guíes en sus estudios; que vivan en profunda comunión con-tigo a través de la oración y que los sostengas en los momentos difí-ciles. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalu-pe y de San Antonio de Padua, a ti que con Dios Padre vives y reinas en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, por los siglos de los siglos. Amen.

The Magnificat is available for purchase in the Parish office for only $6. If you take one from the Church lobby, be sure to take your $6 donation to the office any day Monday-Friday, 8am to 5pm (we close 12-1pm for lunch).

EL LLAMADO DE DIOS Al ser confrontado con el poder y la majestad de Dios, la pri-mera respuesta del profeta Isaías es reconocer su pecado. “Ay de mí, estoy perdido porque soy un hombre de labios impuros”, dice en voz alta. De la misma manera, con las redes de pesca repenti-namente llenas con la orden de Jesús, Pedro cae de rodillas y clama: “Señor, apártate de mí porque soy un pecador”.

Después Pedro se levanta, deja atracado su bote y sigue a Jesús. Isaías también experimentó un cambio impresionante. Cuando escuchó al Señor que decía: “¿A quién voy a enviar? ¿Quién irá por nosotros?”, Isaías respondió: “Aquí estoy, envía-me”.

Somos llamados diariamente por el Señor resucitado. Se nos recuerda del poder salvador del Evangelio y sabemos de co-razón que, como escribió san Pablo, creer en otra cosa no nos llevará a ningún lado.

¿Qué se necesita para que dejes el pecado? ¿Qué se necesita para que caigas de rodillas? ¿Qué se necesita para que dejes lo que no es importante y aceptes el llamado de ser mensajero de Dios?

Santa Luisa de Marillac
