T ’ R First Reading — The glory of the L shows through Israel, a light to all nations, that salvation may reach to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 49:3, 5-6). Psalm — Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will (Psalm 40). Second Reading — All those who call upon the name of the Lord are called to be holy (1 Corinthians 1:1-3). Gospel — John the Baptist testifies: The one who comes after me, on whom the Spirit comes down and remains, is the Son of God (John 1:29-34). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

As a Church, we now move into Ordinary Time. “Ordinary” comes from the Latin root for “order,” which is why we line the Sundays up on the calendar and count them—with “ordinal” numbers—one by one. The orderly way we proceed through the liturgical year reminds us that our faith offers a strategic goal for our lives: eternal happiness with God, who is love. Today’s readings share stories of believers who order their daily activities toward the goal of sharing God’s love. Isaiah embraces his role as God’s servant and works to bring glory not only to Israel, but to the entire world. In a similar way, Saint Paul identifies himself as Christ’s witness in the world and reminds the Corinthians of their life goal: “to be holy.” The Gospel shows us John the Baptist, servant and witness, attentive to God’s loving orders, the divine plan for salvation. TOO LITTLE. Today’s first reading reveals the Lord’s super-sized heart. “It is too little,” according to God, to protect and guide only the tribes of Jacob. The enormity of God’s love cannot limit itself to one nation; divine love overflows, spilling liberally over all people everywhere. Isaiah, prophet of the long-suffering Israelites, might have been surprised to hear that the salvation of his people is not enough for God. But God always wants more than what we want. God’s passion outstrips all of our deepest desires. We are merely creatures. Compared to the hugeness of our Creator’s designs, we will always want too little, have too little, know too little, love too little. This littleness frustrates us throughout life. But exactly when we admit our littleness, we make room for Christ. NEVER TOO LATE. John the Baptist models for us the grace of littleness. Twice in today’s Gospel reading, John admits, “I did not know.” Even though John has ordered his entire life toward the goal of preparing the world for the Messiah, he does not, on his own, recognize Christ when he sees him. The Gospel insists John “did not know” Jesus; in his humility, John relies entirely on God for direction. John waits and waits—baptizing, praying, preaching—until, finally, the Holy Spirit reveals the Messiah. John had waited his whole life for this confirmation from the Spirit. God’s chosen people, the Israelites, had waited much, much longer. Surely many wondered if God would ever send the Messiah as promised. But God is never late. In our littleness, we cannot see the arc of all human history with God’s clarity and love. Each of us aches deeply for some good thing: a cure, a resolution, a rest, a fair break. When we are made to wait for what seems obviously beneficial, we sometimes wonder if God is really as all-powerful and all-loving as people say. Today’s readings invite us to trust. Copyright © J. S.

January 21

Writing about Saint Agnes in the year 377, Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, declared: “This is a virgin’s birthday into heaven: let us imitate her chastity!

And a martyr’s heavenly birthday: let us offer ourselves in sacrifice!” Chastity: mastery of oneself in order to give of oneself whether in the priestly, religious, married, or single state. Sacrifice: “to make holy,” to set someone or something apart for service. Ambrose knew these virtues indispensable for discipleship, but challenging to practice in his world—or our own. Barely a teenager, Agnes faced gruesome tortures bravely and, when ordered to worship pagan gods, boldly made the Sign of the Cross instead. Thus, her youthful courage strengthened adult believers who wavered under persecution or grew indifferent when persecutions passed. To bestow on Agnes its highest honor and keep her witness fresh in believers’ hearts, the Church inscribed her name at the heart of the Eucharistic liturgy, in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I), until Vatican II the Roman Church’s only Eucharistic Prayer. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

DEMASIADO POCO. La primera lectura de hoy muestra el corazón súper grande del Señor. “Es demasiado poco”, de acuerdo a Dios, proteger y guiar sólo a las tribus de Jacob. La magnitud del amor de Dios no puede limitarse a sí mismo para una nación; el amor divino se desborda, derramándose generosamente en todas las personas en todas partes. Isaías, el profeta sufriente de los israelitas, podría haberse sorprendido de escuchar que la salvación de su pueblo no era suficiente para Dios. Pero Dios siempre quiere más de lo que nosotros queremos. La pasión de Dios supera todos nuestros deseos más profundos. Somos simplemente creaturas. Comparado con la inmensidad de los designios de nuestro Creador, siempre querremos demasiado poco, tenemos demasiado poco, sabemos demasiado poco, amamos demasiado poco. Esta escasez nos frustra a lo largo de la vida. Pero exactamente cuando admitimos nuestra escasez, hacemos espacio para Cristo. NUNCA ES TARDE. Juan el Bautista modela para nosotros la gracia de la pequeñez. En el Evangelio de hoy, dos veces Juan admite “no lo conozco”. Aunque Juan había ordenado toda su vida hacia la meta de preparar el mundo para el Mesías, él no, por su cuenta, reconoce a Cristo cuando lo ve. El Evangelio insiste Juan, “no conoce” a Jesús; con humildad, Juan confía plenamente en Dios por consejo. Juan espera y espera bautizando, orando, predicando, hasta que finalmente, el Espíritu Santo le revela al Mesías. Juan había esperado toda su vida por esta confirmación del Espíritu. El pueblo elegido de Dios, los israelitas habían esperado demasiado, mucho más. Seguramente muchos se preguntaban si Dios llegaría a enviar al Mesías como lo había prometido. Pero a Dios nunca se le hace tarde. En nuestra pequeñez, no podemos ver el arco de la historia humana con la claridad y amor de Dios. Cada uno de nosotros ansia profundamente por algunas cosas buenas: una sanación, una decisión, un apoyo, un justo descanso. Cuando se nos hace esperar por lo que parece un beneficio obvio, algunas veces preguntamos si Dios es en realidad todopoderoso y lleno de amor, así como la gente dice. Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a confiar. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

(Siglo III) 22 de enero

San Vicente nació en Zaragoza, España y, debido a su buen uso de la

palabra y formación académica, fue nombrado como coadjutor del obispo Valerio para que le ayudara en la predicación, pues el obispo era tartamudo. Una vez ordenado diácono se distinguió por la predicación elocuente y la defensa de la fe. Fue arrestado mientras visitaba a su obispo, preso a causa de la persecución impulsada por el emperador Daciano quien, al saber que visitó a su obispo mandó que lo apresaran, haciéndolo caminar desde Zaragoza hasta Valencia. Una vez preso se le sometió a la tortura, no obstante, la tortura no lograba nada y el emperador, lleno de ira, mandó que golpearan a los torturadores. Posteriormente le hizo encerrar en una celda oscura, llena de tiestos filosos para que se cortara sus pies, pero no renunció a su fe cristiana, convirtió al carcelero y cantó himnos de alabanza. Finalmente, puesto que nada lograba contra él, lo encarceló de por vida y ahí, en la soledad de su celda y sus enfermedades encontró la muerte. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayer for the Volcanic Eruption in the Philippines

Please join the Filipino Community in praying for the thousands of victims of the Taal volcano eruption in the Philippines on January 12, 2020. Pray with us for protection over those threatened by possibly more volcanic eruptions and possible high intensity earthquake. Pray with us for those travelling to safety and for those still in the village to find refuge. Pray with us for hope for thousands of villagers displaced due to the volcanic destruction. May they experience the peace, comfort and hope of God during this time of uncertainty. Thank you for your prayers and may God bless you all.
