3 ASSOCIATE PASTOR S MESSAGE E very year on February 22 nd, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, Apostle. According to tradition, the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter marks the anniversary of the day when St. Peter, having borne witness to the divinity of Christ, was appointed by Our Lord to be the rock of His Church.... Peter is thus the first to be seated in the chair that then comes to symbolize the episcopal office of the pope as Bishop of Rome [1]. On the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, we give thanks to God for the mission He entrusted to the Apostle Peter and His Successors. Cathedra literally means the established seat of the Bishop, placed in the mother church of a diocese which for this reason is known as a cathedral ; it is the symbol of the Bishop's authority and in particular, of his magisterium, that is, the evangelical teaching which, as a successor of the Apostles, he is called to safeguard and to transmit to the Christian Community. When a Bishop takes possession of the particular Church that has been entrusted to him, wearing his miter and holding the pastoral staff, he sits on the cathedra. From this seat, as teacher and pastor, he will guide the journey of the faithful in faith, hope and charity. The See of Rome... came to be recognized as the See of the Successor of Peter, and its Bishop s cathedra represented the mission entrusted to him by Christ to tend his entire flock.... Consequently, the Chair of the Bishop of Rome represents not only his service to the Roman community but also his mission as guide of the entire People of God. Celebrating the Chair of Peter, therefore,... means attributing a strong spiritual significance to it and recognizing it as a privileged sign of the love of God, the eternal Good Shepherd, who wanted to gather his whole Church and lead her on the path of salvation [2]. I would like to close with a couple excerpts from Pastor aeternus, in which Vatican I solemnly defined the infallible teaching authority of the Roman Pontiff: 6. For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles. 7. This gift of truth and never-failing faith was therefore divinely conferred on Peter and his successors in this See so that they might discharge their exalted office for the salvation of all, and so that the whole flock of Christ might be kept away by them from the poisonous food of error and be nourished with the sustenance of heavenly doctrine. Thus the tendency to schism is removed and the whole Church is preserved in unity, and, resting on its foundation, can stand firm against the gates of hell [3]. St. Peter, Pray for us. Fr. Richard A. Yevchak, IVE 3 [1] Homily of Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, O.P., [2] Benedict XVI, General Audience, Feb. 22, 2006, [3] Pastor aeternus, Vatican I, July 18, 1870.

(Please note change of location for practice) PHÚC ÂM: Mt 5, "Các con hãy yêu thương thù địch các con". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Matthêu. Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán cùng các môn đệ rằng: "Các con đã nghe bảo: 'Mắt đền mắt, răng đền răng'. Còn Thầy, Thầy bảo các con: đừng chống cự lại với kẻ hung ác; trái lại, nếu ai vả má bên phải của con, thì hãy đưa má bên kia cho nó nữa. Và ai muốn kiện con để đoạt áo trong của con, thì hãy trao cho nó cả áo choàng nữa. Và ai bắt con đi một dặm, thì con hãy đi với nó hai dặm. Ai xin, thì con hãy cho. Ai muốn vay mượn, thì con đừng khước từ. "Các con cũng đã nghe dạy rằng: 'Hãy yêu thương tha nhân, và ghét thù địch'. Còn Thầy, Thầy bảo các con: Các con hãy yêu thương thù địch các con, hãy làm lành cho những kẻ ghét các con, và cầu nguyện cho những kẻ bắt bớ và vu khống các con, để các con nên con cái Cha các con ở trên trời, là Đấng làm cho mặt trời mọc lên trên người lành cũng như kẻ dữ, và cho mưa trên người công chính cũng như kẻ bất lương. Vì nếu các con yêu thương những kẻ yêu thương các con, thì còn có công gì? Nào những người thu thuế không làm như vậy ư? Và nếu các con chỉ chào hỏi anh em các con mà thôi, thì các con có làm gì hơn? Nào dân ngoại không làm như vậy sao? Vậy các con hãy nên trọn lành như Cha các con trên trời là Đấng trọn lành". Đó là lời Chúa.

7 VII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 19 DE FEBRERO 2017 Amar al Prójimo SABIDURÍA DIVINA El mensaje del Señor, por medio de Moisés, fue no te vengarás ni guardaras rencor..., ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo (Levítico 19:18). Podríamos pensar, Excelente enseñanza pero no es muy realista. Y en el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se adelanta. Si te golpean, pon la otra mejilla? Tratar a los enemigos como si fueran amigos? Y así otra vez, estamos tentados a pensar que son bonitos ideales, perno no muy prácticos en el mundo real. Pablo hace eco a las palabras de Jesús cuando les dice a los corintios que lo que parece ser sabiduría de los hombres es absurdo para Dios. La sabiduría divina brilla sobre los buenos y los malos, llueve sobre los honestos y deshonestos, sin distinción. Debemos examinar nuestra sabiduría y sentido común para ver cómo estos se comparan con la sabiduría de Dios, y hacer los ajustes correspondientes. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Sir 1:1-10; Sal 93 (92):1-2, 5; Mc 9:14-29 Martes: Sir 2:1-11; Sal 37 (36):3-4, 18-19, 27-28, 39-40; Mc 9:30-37 Miércoles: 1 Pe 5:1-4; Sal 23 (22):1-3a, 4-6; Mt 16:13-19 Jueves: Sir 5:1-8; Sal 1:1-4, 6; Mc 9:41-50 Viernes: Sir 6:5-17; Sal 119 (118):12, 16, 18, 27, 34, 35; Mc 10:1-12 Sábado: Sir 17:1-15; Sal 103 (102):13-18; Mc 10:13-16 Domingo: Is 49:14-15; Sal 62 (61):2-3, 6-9; 1 Cor 4:1-5; Mt 6:24-34 Amar al prójimo es hacer mi trabajo ( en la casa con mi familia, en el campo o en la fábrica con mis compañeros) lo mejor que pueda y con alegría. - Amar al prójimo es NO JUZ- GAR a nadie, no pensar o hablar mal de otras personas. El verdadero amor todo lo perdona, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta. El amor no acaba nunca. Los primeros cristianos, se distinguían por-que siempre se veía que se amaban mucho unos a otros. Dios quiere que hoy también nos amemos y convivamos todos los hombres en paz. Debemos ver en cada uno de nuestros hermanos a CRISTO MISMO. Jesús nos dijo, que todo cuanto hagamos con cualquier persona, es como si lo hiciéramos con El mismo. Recuerda, Cristo nos enseña: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo! PROPÓSITO DEL MES : Este mes pensarás todas las noches: cómo he amado hoy a mi prójimo? Y rezarás un Padre Nuestro a Dios, para pedirle que todos los hombres se amen y haya paz en nuestro país y en el mundo entero. El Domingo 5 de Marzo como parte de la Novena de la Gracia de San Francisco Javier, celebraremos el día de las familias.
