Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time Page 2 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 15, 2015 Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 FOR THE GLORY OF GOD The entire history of the Jewish people is directed toward one goal: that God might be glorified through the chosen people. Christians, too, are called to do everything for the glory of God. In today s scriptures Paul reminds us that the best way for us to glorify God is to seek to benefit the many, as Christ did when he shed his blood for all of humankind. The reading from Leviticus explains one way the Jews sought to benefit the many, by keeping lepers and leprosy away from the chosen people. Jesus finds a better way. He cures the leper, who immediately re-enters the community to spread the good news about Jesus to everyone who will listen. In this way both Jesus and the leper fulfill their calling to glorify the God who fills us with the joy of salvation. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4 LENT 2015 The Catholic Church invites us during Lent to make a pilgrimage, a sacred journey, towards Easter. There are parts of this journey that are private and there are other parts that are public, yet, at no time are we alone because Christ is with us. The Paschal Mystery of the suffering, death and resurrection should be our guiding light on this journey. All our Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving readies us to celebrate Easter. Formed by God s word let our prayer be in union with Christ and His Church. Let our fasting be done in union with Christ s sufferings and with those who are hungry. Let our almsgiving be in union with Christ s giving who thought not of Himself but of mankind. Lent readies the faithful through closer attention to the Word of God and more ardent prayer to celebrate The Paschal Mystery. (Constitution on the Liturgy, 109) LENTEN SERVICES AND PRACTICES Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2015 Masses: 6:30am, 8:30am, 5:00pm (Bi-lingual) Soup and bread will be served 6:00pm Ecumenical Service: 7:00pm Daily Masses: Stations of the Cross: 6:30am, Monday Friday 8:30am, Monday Saturday 7:00pm, Fridays (Proceeded by Knight s Fish Fry s, 5:00pm) Fast and Abstinence: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fasting (one full meal and two small snacks).

Los cristianos también están llamados a hacer todo para la gloria de Dios. En las Escrituras de hoy Pablo nos recuerda que la mejor manera que tenemos para glorificar a Dios es buscar el beneficio de todos tal como Cristo hizo cuando derramó su sangre por toda la humanidad. La lectura de Levítico explica una manera en que los judíos buscaban el beneficio de muchos, manteniendo a los leprosos y la lepra alejados del pueblo escogido. Jesús encuentra una manera mejor: cura al leproso, que inmediatamente retorna a la comunidad para difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesús a todo el que le escuche. De este modo tanto Jesús como el leproso cumplen con su llamado de glorificar al Dios que nos llena con la alegría de la salvación. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
