A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 16/17, 2016

In today’s second reading, Saint Paul makes a list of gifts dispensed to members of

the Christian community by the Holy Spirit. Each gift bestowed has a specific pur-

pose for the person for whom it is intended: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing,

mighty deeds, prophecy, discernment, tongues, and interpretation. Good stewards

know these gifts are not meant to be kept hidden by the recipient

but to be shared with the community and beyond. As we begin a

new year, let us reflect on the gift the Holy Spirit has given to

each of us. Do we recognize this gift? How was it intended that

we use this gift? Are we being good stewards of this gift?

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ II Domingo Ordinario

UN MOMENTO DE CORRESPONSABILIDAD

II Domingo Ordinario Enero 16/17 de 2016

En la segunda lectura de hoy, San Pablo hace una lista de los dones otorgados por el

Espíritu Santo a los miembros de la comunidad cristiana. Cada don conferido tiene un

propósito específico para la persona para quien es dado: sabiduría, conocimiento, fe,

sanación, grandes obras, profecía, discernimiento, lenguas e inter-

pretación. Los buenos corresponsables saben que estos dones no

son para mantenerlos ocultos por quien los recibe sino para ser

compartidos con la comunidad y más allá de ella. Al comenzar un

nuevo año, reflexionemos sobre el don que el Espíritu Santo nos

ha dado a cada uno de nosotros. ¿Reconocemos nosotros este don?

¿Cómo deseó Dios que nosotros usáramos este don? ¿Estamos

siendo buenos corresponsables de este don?

Si hay una palabra que se iden-tifique con el Papa Francisco, esa es la palabra “misericordia.” Esta es una palabra convincente, consoladora y gen-erosa. Nosotros hemos visto a nuestro Santo Padre aplicar esta palabra al lavar los pies de algunos prisioneros y abrazar a personas desfiguradas. El mes pasado el Papa Francisco abrió el Año del Jubileo de la Misericordia. ¿Qué es el año del jubileo, y cómo nos afecta a aquellos de nosotros en las bancas de Peoria o San Diego, Perth o Vancouver? Los años de jubileo han existido desde el año 1300, y frecuentemente ocurren ca-da 25 o 50 años. Como todas las cosas católicas, han sido parte de la historia. Hay también una Puerta Santa en la Basílica de San Pedro que es abierta por el pontífice al inicio del año del jubileo. Pero sabemos que con el Papa Francisco, el jubileo tomará un significado más allá de las meras formalidades históricas. Es de esperar, que éste afectará profunda-mente nuestra vida espiritual. Al proclamar el Año del Jubileo de la Mis-ericordia, el Santo Padre citó el Evan-gelio de San Mateo sobre el tema del perdón. Cuando Pedro pregunta a Jesús si debe perdonar a alguien hasta siete veces, Jesús responde que nosotros debemos perdonar no sólo siete veces, sino setenta veces siete. (Mateo 18:21-22). “Esta es una profunda enseñanza,”

dice el Papa Francisco. “Jesús afirma que la misericordia no es solamente una ac-ción del Padre, sino que se convierte en un criterio para determinar quiénes son sus verdaderos hijos.” El año de la miseri-cordia inició en la fiesta de la Inmacula-da Concepción, la cual coincide con el 50º aniversario de la conclusión del Con-cilio Vaticano II, un evento acerca del cual el Papa Francisco dijo, “Los muros que durante largo tiempo habían hecho a la Iglesia una especie de fortaleza, han sido rasgados.” Francisco claramente quiere que los muros entre las personas sean derribados; él quiere las puertas abiertas, más allá de las puertas cere-monials ¿Qué podemos hacer nosotros para hacer este año especial? Podemos empezar por extender la misericordia a nosotros mismos, una tarea difícil algunas veces. Tal vez hemos desatendido el Sac-ramento de la Reconciliación. Este es el momento perfecto para considerarlo. Tal vez hay una ruptura familiar o una rela-ción difícil que necesita sanarse. El Papa Francisco nos señala especialmente a aquellos que viven al margen de la so-ciedad: Nosotros debemos abrir nuestro corazón “a aquellos que viven en la pe-riferia más alejada de la sociedad, bor-des de la sociedad moderna creados por ella misma.” Debemos desafiarnos a nosotros mismos a salir más allá de nues-tra zona de confort. El Papa nos desafía. Él proclama que la misericordia es la

función central de la Iglesia y el aspecto

más importante del ministerio y el traba-

jo de Jesús.

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:

“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the

greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most

helpful to us”. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only

celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass,

we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace ..."

You are invited to participate in Eucharistic Adoration each Friday

Adoration begins after 8:15 Mass; ends with Benediction at 11:50 am.

You can spend a few minutes, an hour or as much time as you desire.

The Century Club winner for

January 11, 2016 was Camille Brennan.
