3 February 3, Page 3 Weekly Reflection/Reflexión Semanal AN ONGOING MISSION In his hometown synagogue, Jesus neighbors are amazed by his words. Nevertheless, they remind each other, Is this not Joseph s son? Surely the people know who he is. The carpenter s son. The young man who had learned in this very synagogue. The boy down the street. Conflict arises as Jesus begins to define himself in a new way. When he compares himself to the ancient prophets Elijah and Elisha the tensions grow. The tensions mul ply when Jesus begins to tell of a new mission for God s people: the good news of the scriptures is intended for all.in his famous passage from the First Le er to the Corinthians, St. Paul reminds us of the eternal nature of love. Love does not come to an end. In today s readings, we are reminded that, like love, Jesus mission cannot be contained. Jesus slips through the crowd of persecutors and moves on to new challenges. We are called to this same perseverance in the name of love. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. UNA MISIÓN CONTINUA En la sinagoga de su pueblo natal, los vecinos se maravillaban con las palabras de Jesús. No obstante, se preguntaban: No es este el hijo de José? Con seguridad la gente sabía quién era Jesús. El hijo del carpintero. El joven que aprendió en esa misma sinagoga. El muchacho de la calle. El conflicto surge cuando Jesús empieza a definirse de una manera nueva. Las tensiones aumentan cuando se compara con los an guos profetas Elías y Eliseo. Las tensiones se mul plican cuando Jesús empieza a hablar de una nueva misión para el pueblo de Dios: la Buena Nueva de la Escritura está dirigida a todos. En su famoso pasaje de la primera carta a los Corin os, san Pablo nos recuerda la naturaleza del amor eterno. El amor no termina. En la lectura de hoy, se nos recuerda que, como el amor, la misión de Jesús no se puede detener. Jesús se desliza entre la mul tud de perseguidores y sigue adelante con nuevos retos. Estamos llamados a esta misma perseverancia en nombre del amor. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

6 February 3, Page 6 Reading 1 JER 1:4-5, The word of the LORD came to me, saying: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. But do you gird your loins; stand up and tell them all that I command you. Be not crushed on their account, as though I would leave you crushed before them; for it is I this day who have made you a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of brass, against the whole land: against Judah's kings and princes, against its priests and people. They will fight against you but not prevail over you, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD. Responsorial Psalm PS 71:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, R. (cf. 15ab) I will sing of your salvation. In you, O LORD, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your justice rescue me, and deliver me; incline your ear to me, and save me. R. I will sing of your salvation. Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to give me safety, for you are my rock and my fortress. O my God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked. R. I will sing of your salvation. For you are my hope, O Lord; my trust, O God, from my youth. On you I depend from birth; from my mother's womb you are my strength. R. I will sing of your salvation. My mouth shall declare your justice, day by day your salvation. O God, you have taught me from my youth, and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds. R. I will sing of your salvation. Second Reading 1 COR 12:31 13:13 Brothers and sisters: Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. But I shall show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in human and angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous, It is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Acclamation Before the Gospel R. Alleluia, alleluia. The Lord sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel LK 4:21-30 Jesus began speaking in the synagogue, saying: "Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, "Isn't this the son of Joseph?" He said to them, "Surely you will quote me this proverb, 'Physician, cure yourself,' and say, 'Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.'" And he said, "Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.

7 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Primera lectura Jer 1, En tiempo de Josías, el Señor me dirigió estas palabras: Desde antes de formarte en el seno materno, te conozco; desde antes de que nacieras, te consagré como profeta para las naciones. Cíñete y prepárate; ponte en pie y diles lo que yo te mando. No temas, no titubees delante de ellos, para que yo no te quebrante. Mira: hoy te hago ciudad fortificada, columna de hierro y muralla de bronce, frente a toda esta tierra, así se trate de los reyes de Judá, como de sus jefes, de sus sacerdotes o de la gente del campo. Te harán la guerra, pero no podrán contigo, porque yo estoy a tu lado para salvarte. Salmo Responsorial Salmo 70, a. 5-6ab. 15ab y 17 R. (cf. 15ab) Señor, tú eres mi esperanza. Señor, tú eres mi esperanza, que no quede yo jamás defraudado. Tú, que eres justo, ayúdame y defiéndeme; escucha mi oración y ponme a salvo. R. Señor, tú eres mi esperanza. Sé para mí un refugio, ciudad fortificada en que me salves. Y pues eres mi auxilio y mi defensa, líbrame, Señor, de los malvados. R. Señor, tú eres mi esperanza. Señor, tú eres mi esperanza; desde mi juventud en ti confío. Desde que estaba en el seno de mi madre, yo me apoyaba en ti y tú me sostenías. R. Señor, tú eres mi esperanza. Yo proclamaré siempre tu justicia y a todas horas, tu misericordia. Me enseñaste a alabarte desde niño y seguir alabándote es mi orgullo. R. Señor, tú eres mi esperanza. Segunda Lectura 1 Cor 12, 31 13, 13 Hermanos: Aspiren a los dones de Dios más excelentes. Voy a mostrarles el camino mejor de todos. Aunque yo hablara las lenguas de los hombres y de los ángeles, si no tengo amor, no soy más que una campana que resuena o unos platillos que aturden. Aunque yo tuviera el don de profecía y penetrara todos los misterios, aunque yo poseyera en grado sublime el don de ciencia y mi fe fuera tan grande como para cambiar de sitio las montañas, si no tengo amor, nada soy. Aunque yo repartiera en limosnas todos mis bienes y aunque me dejara quemar vivo, si no tengo amor, de nada me sirve. El amor es comprensivo, el amor es servicial y no tiene envidia; el amor no es presumido ni se envanece; no es grosero ni egoísta; no se irrita ni guarda rencor; no se alegra con la injusticia, sino que goza con la verdad. El amor disculpa sin límites, confía sin límites, espera sin límites, soporta sin límites. El amor dura por siempre; en cambio, el don de profecía se acabará; el don de lenguas desaparecerá y el don de ciencia dejará de existir, porque nuestros dones de ciencia y de profecía son imperfectos. Pero cuando llegue la consumación, todo lo imperfecto desaparecerá. Cuando yo era niño, hablaba como niño, sentía como niño y pensaba como niño; pero cuando llegué a ser hombre, hice a un lado las cosas de niño. Ahora vemos como en un espejo y oscuramente, pero después será cara a cara. Ahora sólo conozco de una manera imperfecta, Cuarto Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario pero entonces conoceré a Dios como él me conoce a mí. Ahora tenemos estas tres virtudes: la fe, la esperanza y el amor; pero el amor es la mayor de las tres. Aclamación antes del Evangelio. R. Aleluya, aleluya. El Señor me ha enviado para anunciar a los pobres la buena nueva y proclamar la liberación a los cautivos. R. Aleluya. Evangelio Lc 4, En aquel tiempo, después de que Jesús leyó en la sinagoga un pasaje del libro de Isaías, dijo: Hoy mismo se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura que acaban de oír. Todos le daban su aprobación y admiraban la sabiduría de las palabras que salían de sus labios, y se preguntaban: No es éste el hijo de José? Jesús les dijo: Seguramente me dirán aquel refrán: Médico, cúrate a ti mismo y haz aquí, en tu propia tierra, todos esos prodigios que hemos oído que has hecho en Cafarnaúm. Y añadió: Yo les aseguro que nadie es profeta en su tierra. Había ciertamente en Israel muchas viudas en los tiempos de Elías, cuando faltó la lluvia durante tres años y medio, y hubo un hambre terrible en todo el país; sin embargo, a ninguna de ellas fue enviado Elías, sino a una viuda que vivía en Sarepta, ciudad de Sidón. Había muchos leprosos en Israel, en tiempos del profeta Eliseo; sin embargo, ninguno de ellos fue curado, sino Naamán, que era de Siria. Al oír esto, todos los que estaban en la sinagoga se llenaron de ira, y levantándose, lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo llevaron hasta una saliente del monte, sobre el que estaba construida la ciudad, para despeñarlo. Pero él, pasando por en medio de ellos, se alejó de allí.
