Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 24, 2016 PROMISE FULFILLED Jesus stood up in his hometown synagogue and read aloud from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah a description of the Messiah.

2 Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 24, 2016 PROMISE FULFILLED Jesus stood up in his hometown synagogue and read aloud from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah a description of the Messiah. He startled listeners by saying, Today this prophecy is being fulfilled in your hearing! This is sensational news handed on to us in the Gospel of Luke. Even better is the news that the Messiah s work is handed on to all of us, parts of his body. In so many ways we receive the teaching handed on to us and hand it on, in turn, to family members, neighbors, friends and strangers! Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD 2001 Oregon Catholic Press. Next Sunday s Scripture Readings Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 31,, 2016 First Reading: Jeremiah 1:4-5, I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 71:1-6, I will sing of your salvation. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13 There are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love. Gospel: Luke 4:31-30 Jesus, like Elijah and Elisha, was not sent only to the Jews. Mother of Mercy Mission Statement The parish of Mother of Mercy calls together its people to hear the Word of God and to worship God the Father through the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the coming together for prayer, and works of charity to spread the truth of the Catholic Faith to our brothers and sisters. What are the precepts of the Church? (2041 CCC) The precepts of the Church are set in the context of a moral life bound to and nourished by liturgical life. The obligatory character of these positive laws decreed by the pastoral authorities is meant to guarantee to the faithful the very necessary minimum in the spirit of prayer and moral effort, in the growth in love of God and neighbor: I. To attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, and resting from servile works. II. To observe the days of abstinence and fasting. III. To confess our sins to a priest, at least once a year.(traditionally done during Lent) IV. To receive Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist at least once a year during Easter Season. V. To help to provide for the needs of the Church according to one's abilities and station in life VI. To obey the laws of the Church concerning Matrimony. The most important thing about the Precepts of the Church is that they are the precepts of the Church. We ought to pause to consider what the Church is, for it is no mere social body with purely human lines of authority and rules geared primarily toward its own preservation and growth. The Church is alternatively described in Scripture as the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:26-27; Col 1:18), the bride of Christ without spot or wrinkle (Eph 5:25-27), and the embodiment on earth of Divine authority, against which the gates of hell cannot prevail (Mt 16:18). Sub Tuum Praesidium, Fr. Buckler

3 Saints and Special Observances We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials St. Teresa of Avila January 26-Timothy and Titus, bishop Timothy, from Lystera in Asia Minor, and Titus, of Greek origin died in the 1st century.. They are companions of Paul and overseers of the churches of Ephesus and Crete, respectively. Saints Timothy and Titus are recipients of the socalled pastoral epistles. January 28-St. Thomas Aquinas, priest, doctor of the Church Thomas Aquinas died in the year 1274; a priest of Order of Preachers (Dominicans). He was known as the Angelic Doctor who wrote the Summa Theologiæ and authored Adoro te devote, O salutaris, Tantum ergo, and Pange lingua. Thomas is patron of Catholic schools, colleges, and universities, of philosophers, theologians, and booksellers. January 27-Angela Merici, virgin Born in Northern Italy, orphaned in childhood, Angela Merici faced a society in which education was largely the privilege of wealthy young men and based primarily in monastic schools. This reality shaped Angela s insightful conviction that society s disorder was caused by disorder in the home, and a lack of model Christian mothers the result of neglecting the education of young women. Transform the Christian family by placing an educated wife and mother at its heart, Angela believed, and the whole world would be renewed in Christ! So she gathered a small group of unmarried women, many of them Franciscan Tertiaries (lay affiliates) like herself, and set out to educate poor girls, free of charge, in their homes. She and her band of teachers called themselves companions, pioneering a new form of non-cloistered religious life for women, bearing witness to evangelical simplicity in the midst of the world, not as a formal order but as the Company (compagnia) of Saint Ursula. Known today as the Ursulines, Angela Merici s spiritual daughters continue serving the Church and society in a rich diversity of ministries. Peter Scagnelli, Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 24 de Enero de 2016 La promesa cumplida Jesús, en la sinagoga de Nazaret, se levantó para leer la lectura del libro de Isaías.

Pero mejor aún es saber que la noticia de la obra del Mesías es para todos nosotros, las partes de su Cuerpo!

Concepción de Suyapa en Honduras. Fue un sábado del mes de febrero, cuando Alejandro Colindres, un joven humilde labrador, y Jorge Martínez, un niño de ocho años, la encontraron.

4 Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 24 de Enero de 2016 La promesa cumplida Jesús, en la sinagoga de Nazaret, se levantó para leer la lectura del libro de Isaías. Leyó un pasaje sobre el Mesías y luego exclamó: Hoy mismo se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura que acaban de oír. Qué noticia tan sensacional nos da el Evangelio de Lucas! Pero mejor aún es saber que la noticia de la obra del Mesías es para todos nosotros, las partes de su Cuerpo! De muchas maneras, nosotros recibimos las enseñanzas, para luego también, transmitirlas a los miembos de nuestra familia, a los amigos y vecinos y a los desconocidos. Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD 2001 Oregon Catholic Press. Lecturas Bíblicas TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 3 de febrero se celebra entre misas, mariachis, fuegos artificiales y muchas expresiones de religiosidad popular, la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción de Suyapa en Honduras. Fue un sábado del mes de febrero, cuando Alejandro Colindres, un joven humilde labrador, y Jorge Martínez, un niño de ocho años, la encontraron. Según la tradición estos llegaron cansados a la quebrada del Piligüín. Acostándose sobre el suelo, Alejandro sintió lo que le parecía una piedra en su espalda. Por más que intentaba arrojarla lejos, cuando se acostaba sentía la misma piedra. Por fin en lugar de tirarla, la puso en su mochila y al amanecer descubrió que no era piedra sino una pequeña imagen de María (6.5 cm.) con rostro indígena tallada en madera. En 1780 se le construyó un templo y en 1796 se registró su primer milagro. El Papa Pió XII la proclamó Patrona de la República de Honduras en En las advocaciones latinoamericanas ella es nombrada como la fortaleza de los humildes. Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 31 de Enero de 2016 Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Primera Lectura: Jeremías 1:4-5, Te destiné a ser profeta de las naciones.
