3 A message from Fr. Tony HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! Holy, holy, holy! Ancient languages, like the Hebrew used in the scriptures, did not always have a way to express superla ves in one word. Isaiah could not say God was holiest, so he used the threefold repe on of the same word. This bit of scriptural minu ae about these three li le words that we sing at every Mass serves as a reminder that answering God s call has to be grounded in awareness of God s holiness. In Isaiah and in the Gospel passage today, we hear accounts of the revela on of God s power and might: the seraphim in the temple and the miraculous catch of fish. These are not wondrous revela ons for their own sakes. They lead to a response in mission, Isaiah s Here I am, send me! and the disciples leaving everything to follow Jesus. And so must our own Holy, Holy, Holy! lead us to Christ in the Eucharist every Sunday, and to a life following him day by day. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Effective First Monday of Lent on February 15th there will no longer be a 6:15am Mass. The New Mass Schedule is as follows: Masses Monday - Thursday 12:05pm - Bilingual & 5:30pm - Bilingual Friday 12:05pm only Bilingual Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony SANTO, SANTO, SANTO! Santo, Santo, Santo!. Los idiomas an guos, como el hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no siempre tenían la manera de expresar superla vos en una sola palabra. Isaías no tenía una palabra similar a san simo, así que usó la triple repe ción de la misma palabra. Este detalle de minucia bíblica sobre estas tres pequeñas palabras que cantamos en Misa cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder al llamado de Dios ene que basarse en estar consciente de la san dad de Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos relatos que revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios: los serafines en el templo y la pesca milagrosa. Estas no son revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a una respuesta misionera, la de Aquí estoy, envíame! de Isaías y la de los discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a Jesús. De igual manera nuestro Santo, Santo, Santo! nos lleva a Cristo en la Eucaris a de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día tras día. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

(Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8) Psalm In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord (Psalm 138). Second Reading Paul reminds us of the gospel he preached through which we are saved, if we believe it (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 [3-8, 11]). Gospel Jesus directs Simon to take his boat into deep water for a miraculous catch of fish. Simon and his partners leave all to follow Jesus (Luke 5:1-11).

Segunda lectura Pablo nos recuerda el Evangelio que nos predicó por medio del cual somos salvados, si creemos (1 Corin os 15:1-11).

Fi h Sunday in Ordinary Time February 7, 2016 I will give thanks to you, O L, with all my heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. Psalm 138:1 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As the Roman Empire sha ered and collapsed, the bishops were the people best equipped to catch the falling stones. In the West (that s us), they sought to stabilize society by weaving a structure of laws and courts to uphold the rights and dignity of married couples in a chao c world. The bishops in the East had a different approach, even allowing the dissolu on of marriages in certain cases. To an extent, the bishops took a measure of control away from the fathers of families in order to provide pastoral care for those who suffered most in the social collapse: women and children. In the West, much of the marriage law was contained in the peniten al books the bishops devised to regulate the lives of public sinners. In the seventh century, Theodore of Canterbury s peniten al book said that he had the power to give consent to remarriage in the case of a poor fellow whose wife had been carried off by the Vikings. If the Vikings subsequently brought her back, she could remarry, too! No bishop ever made peace with divorce, but there was never a me when the pastoral concern of the church was not struggling with how to care for people in unhappy situa ons. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
