3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Jesus Christ: I. CHRIST'S WHOLE LIFE IS A MYSTERY 514 Many things about Jesus of interest to human curiosity do not figure in the Gospels. Almost nothing is said about His hidden life at Nazareth, and even a great part of His public life is not recounted. 172 What is written in the Gospels was set down there "so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." The Gospels were written by men who were among the first to have the faith 174 and wanted to share it with others. Having known in faith who Jesus is, they could see and make others see the traces of His mystery in all His earthly life. From the swaddling clothes of His birth to the vinegar of His Passion and the shroud of His Resurrection, everything in Jesus' life was a sign of His mystery. 175 His deeds, miracles and words all revealed that "in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily." 176 His humanity appeared as "sacrament", that is, the sign and instrument, of His divinity and of the salvation He brings: what was visible in His earthly life leads to the invisible mystery of His divine sonship and redemptive mission. Characteristics common to Jesus' mysteries 516 Christ's whole earthly life - His words and deeds, His silences and sufferings, indeed His manner of being and speaking - is Revelation of the Father. Jesus can say: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father", and the Father can say: "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to Him!" 177 Because our Lord became man in order to do His Father's will, even the least characteristics of his mysteries manifest "God's love... among us" Christ's whole life is a mystery of redemption. Redemption comes to us above all through the blood of His cross, 179 but this mystery is at work throughout Christ's entire life: - already in His Incarnation through which by becoming poor He enriches us with His poverty; in His hidden life which by His submission atones for our disobedience; in His word which purifies its hearers; in His healings and exorcisms by which "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases"; and in His Resurrection by which He justifies us Christ's whole life is a mystery of recapitulation. All Jesus did, said and suffered had for its aim restoring fallen man to His original vocation: When Christ became incarnate and was made man, He recapitulated in Himself the long history of mankind and procured for us a "short cut" to salvation, so that what we had lost in Adam, that is, being in the image and likeness of God, we might recover in Christ Jesus. 185 For this reason Christ experienced all the stages of life, thereby giving communion with God to all men. 186 Enrich your Lenten devotion! Come join our group as we pray daily during lent. Each participant commits to spend some time each day in prayer and then to meet Saturdays to share the past week s grace. The daily prayer meditations are based on daily scripture and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. It is an opportunity to pause, reflect, listen and respond to the voice of God as God speaks to your heart. The kick-off meeting is on Saturday, February 6 th, 10:15AM Xavier Hall, the Upper Room SSPP Parish, Mankato. The final session is on Saturday, April 2 nd. If you would like to register or would like more information, please call Frank Cesario at or fcesario@hickorytech.net

4 JANUARY 24, PHÚC ÂM: Lc 1, 1-4; 4, "Hôm nay ứng nghiệm đoạn Kinh Thánh này". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Luca. Vì có nhiều người khởi công chép lại những biến cố đã xảy ra giữa chúng ta, theo như các kẻ từ đầu đã chứng kiến và phục vụ lời Chúa, đã truyền lại cho chúng ta, phần tôi, thưa ngài Thêophilê, sau khi tìm hỏi cẩn thận mọi sự từ đầu, tôi quyết định viết cho ngài bài tường thuật sau đây, để ngài hiểu chân lý các giáo huấn ngài đã lãnh nhận. Bấy giờ Chúa Giêsu trở về Galilêa trong quyền lực Thánh Thần, và danh tiếng Người lan tràn khắp cả miền chung quanh. Người giảng dạy trong các hội đường và được mọi người ca tụng. Người đến Nadarét, nơi Người sinh trưởng, và theo thói quen của Người, thì ngày nghỉ lễ, Người vào hội đường. Người đứng dậy để đọc sách. Người ta trao cho Người sách tiên tri Isaia. Mở sách ra, Người gặp ngay đoạn chép rằng: "Thánh Thần Chúa ngự trên tôi, vì Ngài xức dầu cho tôi, sai tôi đi rao giảng Tin Mừng cho người nghèo khó, thuyên chữa những tâm hồn sám hối, loan truyền sự giải thoát cho kẻ bị giam cầm, cho người mù được trông thấy, trả tự do cho những kẻ bị áp bức, công bố năm hồng ân và ngày khen thưởng". Người gấp sách lại, trao cho thừa tác viên, và ngồi xuống. Mọi người trong hội đường đều chăm chú nhìn Người. Người bắt đầu nói với họ: "Hôm nay ứng nghiệm đoạn Kinh Thánh mà tai các ngươi vừa nghe". Đó là lời Chúa." A Get Together Those who have lost a spouse through death or divorce are once again invited to a Valentine s potluck. There will be prayers, inspired readings, a blessing, good food, and a door prize. Come join Susan, Judy and Father Mariano. Let the Lord minister to you and bring you peace, joy and love.

7 3º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 24 DE ENERO 2016 Catecismo de los Miércoles Miércoles 27 de Enero, el horario es el siguiente: 5:15 pm Cena (es opcional) en el Jesuit Hall 6:00 pm Clase en las distintas aulas. Pre-K Aula # 305 Grados 1-8 En la escuela del frente 7:15 pm Toda la comunidad se reúne en el interior de la Iglesia para la oración final. LA VIDA DEL CUERPO DE CRISTO Algunas de las imágenes más conocidas y queridas de san Pablo se encuentran en los pasajes de la primera carta a los corintios que hemos escuchado la semana pasada y hoy: los muchos dones de un mismo Espíritu y los muchos miembros que componen el Cuerpo de Cristo. Pocos pasajes de la Sagrada Escritura resumen con mayor claridad cómo las vocaciones cristianas trabajan en colaboración. A diferencia de otros escritos de san Pablo, producto de las convenciones sociales y religiosas de su época, estos nos permiten mirar nuestra propia vida y la vida de los que están a nuestro alrededor para discernir los dones, la vocación que el Espíritu Santo nos ha dado para el bien de todos. Así también podemos conocer las alegrías y las penas de los otros miembros del Cuerpo y compartirlos para así fortalecer todo el Cuerpo de Cristo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Cuando tu pecas gravemente de manera libre y consciente, además de hacer daño a los otros, te separas de Dios y quedan cerradas las puertas del cielo para ti. Con el sacramento de la confesión, recibís el perdón de Dios y recuperas la unión con El. Este perdón Dios te lo da gratis y supones que tendrás un cambio real en tu vida. Al confesarte se supone también que estas dispuesto a repara o componer aquello que has descompuesto con tu pecado. Como esto muchas veces no es posible, pues es difícil reparar el daño cometido, entonces el pecado aunque ya este perdonado en la confesión, te deja como una mancha, que tendrás que limpiar en esta vida con obras buenas o en el purgatorio, para poder entrar totalmente limpio al cielo. Unción de los enfermos El Jueves 11 de Febrero, 12:05 pm Después de la Misa habrá un almuerzo en el Jesuit Hall. Fiesta de la Candelaria Están todos invitados el Domingo 31 de Enero después de la Misa, tendremos un almuerzo para celebrar la fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria.
