THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE As children we sang the lively song This Little Light of Mine. The words, of course, are based on today’s Gospel, in which we are called as disciples to be salt and light for the world. Children are un-inhibited about sharing their faith. It’s only when we grow older that we prefer to hide our light under a bushel basket be-cause our culture tends not to emphasize discipleship. The message in this week’s readings is clear: in order to give glory to God through our discipleship, we must show the light of Christ in our words and deeds. Not an easy thing for inhibited adults. Often we may think of salt and light in terms of what we do for others, but it can be just as important not to do something, such as getting angry with the stranger on the road, or telling an offen-sive joke.

MI PEQUEÑA LUZ Cuando éramos niños cantábamos efusiva-mente la canción Mi pequeña luz . La letra

de la canción, desde luego, está basada en el Evangelio de hoy, en este estamos llamados como discípulos a ser la sal y la luz del mundo. Los niños no tienen dificultad para compartir su fe; solo es cuando crecemos que preferimos esconder nuestra luz bajo un tazón porque nuestra cultura tiende a no en-fatizar el discipulado. El mensaje en las lec-turas es claro: para poder dar gloria a Dios por medio del discipulado, debemos mostrar la luz de Cristo en nuestras palabras y obras. No es algo fácil para adultos inhibidos. A menudo podemos pensar en la sal y la luz en términos de lo que hacemos por los demás, pero puede ser tan importante como el no hacer nada, ya sea como enojarse con un desconocido en la carretera o decir una

broma ofensiva.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 5, 2017

CONSECRATED LIFE. The vocation, like faith itself, is a treasure that we carry in vessels of clay (cf. Cor. 4:7); there-fore, we must safeguard it, as we safe-guard the most precious things, so that no-one robs us of this treasure, and so it does not lose its beauty over time. This care is a task for every one of us who is called to follow Christ more closely with faith, hope and charity, cultivated every day in prayer and strengthened by a good theological and spiritual formation, which defends against the fashions and culture of the ephemeral and enables us to journey steadfast in faith. On this basis it is possible to practice the evangelical counsels and to have the same sentiments as Christ. The vocation is a gift that we have received from the Lord, Who looked upon us and loved us (cf. Mark, 10:21), calling us to follow Him in consecrated life, and is at the same time a respon-sibility for those who have received this gift. With the Lord’s grace, each one of us is called to take on responsi-bly, in the first person, the task of one’s own human, spir-itual and intellectual growth, and at the same time, to keep alive the flame of the vocation . Pope Francis

VIDA CONSAGRADA. La vocación, como la fe misma, es un tesoro que llevamos

en vasijas de barro (ver Cor.4: 7); Por lo tanto, debemos salvaguardarlo, ya que salvaguardamos las cosas más preciosas, para que nadie nos saque de este tesoro, y así no pierda su belleza con el tiempo. Este cuidado es una tarea para cada uno de nosotros que está llamado a seguir a Cristo más de cerca con la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, cultivado cada día en la ora-ción y fortalecido por una buena forma-ción teológica y espiritual que defiende las modas y la cultura de lo efímero Y nos permite caminar firmes en la fe. Sobre

esta base es posible practicar los consejos evangélicos y tener los mismos sentimientos que Cristo. La vocación es un don que hemos recibido del Señor, que nos miró y nos amó (Marcos, 10:21), llamándonos a seguirlo en la vida consagrada, y es al mismo tiempo una responsabilidad de los que han recibido este regalo. Con la gracia del Señor, cada uno de nosotros está llamado a asumir responsable-mente, en primera persona, la tarea del propio crecimiento humano, espiritual e intelectual, y al mismo tiempo mante-ner viva la llama de la vocación. Papa Francisco

WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR THE PARKING LOT OF THE HALL Jose Luis Benavides and his company are working on the final details on the drawing and grading for the parking lot of the hall. Soon it will be ready for bidding, but we still need at list $70,000. The total project is estimat-ed to $265,000.00. Any donations you could make to complete this project is appreciated. If you wish you can participate in a future cam-paign. In the future, we need to re-place the portable classrooms, which are now outlawed. With God’s grace and your generosity, we will do it.

May God, bless you and your family.

REPAIR OF ‘O’ ST. The City sent us a notice that “O” St. paving and curbs will be renewed on the month of April. Because of it the City asks that we remove the trees at our expenses. The cost will be $7,500. We think that the improve-ments should not heavenly tax our church. Because of the mistakes of the City, we already had to spend $7,000 for the fire sprinklers.

ICF The Italian Catholic Federation Branch #70, will be having a bake sale after the 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. masses on Saturday February 11.

ST. MARYS WILL HOST THE AMERICAN LEGION NON DENOMINATIONAL SERVICE

A special celebration honoring the four chaplains of WWII and a recep-tion will take place Saturday, February 11, 2017 in the new church at 2:00 pm with refreshments in the hall following the service.

JUSTICE FOR INMIGRANTS As followers of Christ, we are called as a community to speak in defense of human dignity. At this time, there is a great deal of controversy over the sta-tus and treatment of migrants of all faiths in our communities and under our legal system. Since its founding the USA has received inmigarnts from around the world who have found opportunity and safe heaven in a new land.

CONFIRMATION RETREAT This weekend, February 3, 4, 5 our young people will be on a confirmation retreat at St. Nicolas Ranch in Dun-lap. We ask your prayers for them.

THE PROCESS OF NULLITY OF A CHURCH MARRIAGE Were you married by church and di-vorced? You can apply for a decree of nullity with the diocese. The cost has been reduced to $250.00 and at the request of Pope Francis the process has been shortened. Come to the rec-tory for more information and to get the necessary papers to begin the pro-cess.

COLOR FIBERGLAS WINDOWS We are now installing the first and second phase of color windows in the new church. The third phase will be installed in March. We are grateful for the 34 families and groups that made this possible. We also thank the volunteer installers. The windows were designed by a Korean artist from Loppiano, Italy about 17 years ago. The colors express the Holy Spirit manifesting itself in different ways and in different people. She avoided images because they are complement-ing the Saints in the middle. The third phase we have angels, Jesus and St. Hannibal at the nartex , it was design by Yanelly Torres. 17 years ago the pro-ject was not realized because of the cost of over $200,000.00 . With color fiberglass the project will cost $34,000.00. thanks also to the volunteers. We think that the windows will make the church more cheerful and prayer-ful.

SEND. O LORD, HOLY APOSTLES INTO YOUR CHURCH. ST. HANNIBAL, PRAY FOR US

haremos. Que Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia. . El proyecto total se estima en $ 265,000.00.

REPARACIÓN DE 'O' ST. La ciudad nos envió un aviso de que las aceras de la calle "O" serán reno-vadas durante el mes de abril. Debido a ello la ciudad pide que quitamos los árboles a costo nuestro. El costo será de $ 7,500. Creemos que las mejoras no deberían imponer un gasto tan alto a nuestra iglesia. Debido a los errores de la Ciudad, ya tuvimos que gastar $ 7,000 para cambiar los rociadores de incendios.

CENA ANUAL DE LA CASA PADRE ANIBAL Disfrute de una hermosa cena y ayude a los nece-sitados, el martes, 21 de febrero a las 6:30 pm en St. Mary's Hall. Boletos son $ 20 por adultos o $150 por una mesa de 8 personas.

VENTANAS DE FIBRA DE COLORES Ahora estamos instalando la primera y segunda fase de ventanas de color en la nueva iglesia. La tercera fase se instalará en marzo. Estamos agrade-cidos por las 34 familias y grupos que hicieron esto posible. También damos las gracias a los instaladores voluntari-os. Las ventanas fueron diseñadas por un artista coreano de Loppiano, Italia hace unos 17 años. Los colores expresan el Espíritu Santo manifestándose de diferentes maneras y en diferentes personas.

Ella evitó imágenes porque están com-plementando a los santos en el medio. En la tercera fase tenemos ángeles, Jesús y San Aníbal en el nartex. Fue diseñada por Yanelly Torres. El proyecto no se realizó antes debido al costo de más de $200,000.00. Con fibra de vidrio de color el proyec-to costará $ 34,000.00 gracias también a los voluntarios. Creemos que las ventanas harán que la iglesia sea más alegre y orante.
