ACT OF CONTRITION O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin Amen Important Sacramental Dates First Reconciliation: January 30 at 6:00pm Confirmation: April 11 at 7:00pm.

Come out and join in the fun, laughter, and good food. Should you have any questions, please contact Mary Lou Hope to see you there! You Belong to God PARISH LIFE At issue here is the question: To whom do I belong? God or to the world? Many of my daily preoccupations suggest that I belong more to the world than to God. A little criticism makes me angry, and a little rejection makes me depressed. A little praise raises my spirits, and a little success excites me. It takes very little to raise me up or thrust me down. Often I am like a small boat on the ocean, completely at the mercy of its waves. All the time and energy I spend in keeping some kind of balance and preventing myself from being tipped over and drowning shows that my life is mostly a struggle for survival: not a holy struggle, but an anxious struggle resulting from the mistaken idea that it is the world that defines me.... As long as we belong to this world, we will remain subject to its competitive ways and expect to be rewarded for all the good we do. But when we belong to God, who loves us without conditions, we can live as he does. The great conversion called for by Jesus is to move from belonging to the world to belonging to God.

4 4 Celebremos el Tiempo Ordinario Este tiempo se convierte así en un gimnasio auténtico para encontrar a Dios en los acontecimientos diarios Ordinario no significa de poca importancia, anodino, insulso, incoloro. Sencillamente, con este nombre se le quiere distinguir de los tiempos fuertes, que son el ciclo de Pascua y el de Navidad con su preparación y su prolongación. Es el tiempo más antiguo de la organización del año cristiano. Y además, ocupa la mayor parte del año: 33 ó 34 semanas, de las 52 que hay. El Tiempo Ordinario tiene su gracia particular que hay que pedir a Dios y buscarla con toda la ilusión de nuestra vida: así como en este Tiempo Ordinario vemos a un Cristo ya maduro, responsable ante la misión que le encomendó su Padre, le vemos crecer en edad, sabiduría y gracia delante de Dios su Padre y de los hombres, le vemos ir y venir, desvivirse por cumplir la Voluntad de su Padre, brindarse a los hombres así también nosotros en el Tiempo Ordinario debemos buscar crecer y madurar nuestra fe, nuestra esperanza y nuestro amor, y sobre todo, cumplir con gozo la Voluntad Santísima de Dios. Esta es la gracia que debemos buscar e implorar de Dios durante estas 33 semanas del Tiempo Ordinario. Crecer. Crecer. Crecer. El que no crece, se estanca, se enferma y muere. Debemos crecer en nuestras tareas ordinarias: matrimonio, en la vida espiritual, en la vida profesional, en el trabajo, en el estudio, en las relaciones humanas. Debemos crecer también en medio de nuestros sufrimientos, éxitos, fracasos. Cuántas virtudes podemos ejercitar en todo esto! El Tiempo Ordinario se convierte así en un gimnasio auténtico para encontrar a Dios en los acontecimientos diarios, ejercitarnos en virtudes, crecer en santidad y todo se convierte en tiempo de salvación, en tiempo de gracia de Dios. Todo es gracia para quien está atento y tiene fe y amor! El espíritu del Tiempo Ordinario queda bien descrito en el prefacio VI dominical de la misa: En ti vivimos, nos movemos y existimos; y todavía peregrinos en este mundo, no sólo experimentamos las pruebas cotidianas de tu amor, sino que poseemos ya en prenda la vida futura, pues esperamos gozar de la Pascua eterna, porque tenemos las primicias del Espíritu por el que resucitaste a Jesús de entre los muertos. Este Tiempo Ordinario se divide como en dos tandas. Una primera, desde después de la Epifanía y el bautismo del Señor hasta el comienzo de la Cuaresma. Y la segunda, desde después de Pentecostés hasta el Adviento. Les invito a aprovechar este Tiempo Ordinario con gran fervor, con esperanza, creciendo en las virtudes teologales. Es tiempo de gracia y salvación. Encontraremos a Dios en cada rincón de nuestro día. Basta tener ojos de fe para descubrirlo, no vivir miopes y encerrados en nuestro egoísmo y problemas. Dios va a pasar por nuestro camino. Y durante este tiempo miremos a ese Cristo apóstol, que desde temprano ora a su Padre, y después durante el día se desvive llevando la salvación a todos, terminando el día rendido a los pies de su Padre, que le consuela y le llena de su infinito amor, de ese amor que al día siguiente nos comunicará a raudales. Si no nos entusiasmamos con el Cristo apóstol, lleno de fuerza, de amor y vigor con quién nos entusiasmaremos? Cristo, déjanos acompañarte durante este Tiempo Ordinario, para que aprendamos de ti a cómo comportarnos con tu Padre, con los demás, con los acontecimientos prósperos o adversos de la vida. Vamos contigo, a quién temeremos? Queremos ser santos para santificar y elevar a nuestro mundo. Todos los estudiantes de la Primerá Comunion necesitán aprendersé el Acto de Contrición. Primerá Reconciliacion 30 de enero, 6pm en la iglesia Acto de Contrición Señor mío, Jesucristo! Dios y Hombre verdadero, Creador, Padre y Redentor mío; por ser Vos quien sois, Bondad infinita, Y porque os amo sobre todas las cosas, Me pesa de todo corazón de haberos ofendido; También me pesa porque podéis Castigarme con las penas del infierno. Ayudado de vuestra divina gracia Propongo firmemente nunca más pecar, Confesarme y cumplir la penitencía que me fuere impuesta. Amen.
