OUR LADY OF PEACE
From the Pastor’s Desk . . .
With our celebration of the Lord’s Baptism last
Sunday, we brought to conclusion, our Christmas
Season. This past Monday, we entered into a period on our Church calendar, called, ‘Ordinary
Time.’ This season connects all the major seasons
of our church year, so it will carry us now to the
‘Season of Lent,’ that will begin with Ash Wednesday, on February 10th. So before Christmas is a distant blur, may I ask you:
“Did you receive a Christmas card from the Parish Staff this
year?” And, did you receive a letter back at Thanksgiving, informing you of all the activities and celebrations that were being
planned for the ‘Season of Advent’? If you didn’t receive those
two communications, that means we don’t have an address for
you on file. We have recently added a number of names as a
result of the ‘Capital Campaign,’ but we’re always trying to
update our mailing list in order to stay in touch. This has nothing to do with your choice to use the ‘parish envelope system,’
this is simply our way of keeping in touch, and keeping you informed. Very shortly, as we approach the ‘Season of Lent,’ we
will be sending out another mailing with a list of all the special
services that will be conducted during that season, and as we
approach the celebration of Easter, we will also be sending out
an ‘Easter Greeting,’ as well. To add your name to our ‘Parish
Mailing List,’ complete the form below, and drop it into the collection basket on Sunday.
Antes de que solo nos quede un recuerdo distante de la Navidad: “Recibió usted una tarjeta de Navidad de parte del personal
de la Oficina Parroquial este año? Recibió una carta para Acción
de Gracias donde le informábamos de las actividades y celebraciones que estaban siendo programadas para el Tiempo de Adviento? Si usted no recibió ninguna de estas notificaciones, significa que no tenemos su dirección en nuestros archivos. Recientemente hemos agregado un número de Familias como resultado de
la Campaña Generaciones de Fe,’ siempre tratamos de actualizar
nuestras listas de correo y así poder estar en comunicación. Esto
no tiene nada que ver con el estar registrado en el sistema para
recibir los sobres de la parroquia,’ esta es únicamente una manera
de mantenerle informado. Dentro de muy poco entraremos al
Tiempo de Cuaresma,’ les estaremos enviando correspondencia
con la información de todas las actividades para ese tiempo y al
acercarnos a la Pascua,’ también le enviaremos nuestros Saludos
por la Pascua.’ Para agregar su nombre a nuestra Lista Parroquial,’ complete la forma que encontrará en la parte de abajo de este
boletín, y la deposita en la canasta de la colecta el próximo domingo.
Sincerely, Fr. Patrick

+ Jubilee Year of Mercy +
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mary, whom Catholic tradition names
“Mother of Mercy,” at Cana, intercedes
with her Son to show mercy toward the
bridal couple: “Son, they have no wine.”
But he does more! Jesus’ transformation of
water into wine is a “sign” (John’s term
for “miracle”) that God’s marriage with
the whole human race has begun in Jesus’
person and ministry, a marriage that will be
consummated on the cross: “It is finished”
- we are saved! But before Jesus acts, Mary
instructs the servers to prepare the way for Jesus’ miracle of
mercy: “Do whatever he tells you.” During this ‘Jubilee Year
of Mercy,’ Mother Church, like Mother Mary, instructs us to
share the Spirit’s manifold gifts - some of which Paul lists in
today’s second reading - in generous service to the human family. Thus we prepare the way for Jesus’ new miracles of mercy,
transforming life’s sometimes stagnant water into the refreshing
wine of God’s mercy.
+ Año Jubilar de la Misericordia+
Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Por la boda de Cana, la tradición católica llama a María “Madre de la Misericordia”, pues ella intercede ante su Hijo para
mostrar misericordia a los novios: “Hijo,
no les queda vino”. ¡Jesús hace algo más!
Para Jesús esa transformación que hace del
agua en vino es un “signo” (la palabra que
usa Juan es “milagro”) que es el matrimonio de Dios con toda la humanidad que
empezó en la persona de Jesús y su ministerio y que será consumado en la Cruz:
“todo está cumplido”, ¡somos salvados!
Pero antes que Jesús haga algo, María dijo a los que estaban
sirviendo preparar el camino para el milagro de la misericordia
de Jesús: “Hagan lo que él les diga”. Durante este ‘Año Jubilar
de la Misericordia’, la “Madre Iglesia”, como la Madre María,
nos dice que compartamos los dones del Espíritu, algunos de los
cuales Pablo enlista en la segunda lectura de hoy, en un servicio
generoso a la familia y así preparar el camino para los nuevos
milagros de misericordia de Jesús, transformando la vida; algunas veces el agua estancada en un vino refrescante de la misericordia de Dios.

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 17, 2016
On the First Sunday of Advent, 2014, our Holy Father’s declaration, that a ‘Year of Consecrated Life’ be celebrated throughout
the world, began. It continued throughout this past year of 2015
and will now come to a conclusion with the Feast of the Presentation on February 2nd. Each month since July, I have been
‘profiling’ the members of our Staff, just to give you an appreciation of “who we are” (Sr. Lubia’s profile is on display presently
in the church.) As we approach the conclusion of the special time,
we invite you to participate at a special liturgy, that will honor, not
only the ‘Religious Friars & Sisters’ who staff our Parish, but
also all the men and women religious who minister and/or reside
in our ‘Deanery’ (there are nine parish churches that comprise
our ‘Deanery’ in this area of Brooklyn.)
An invitation has been extended to several communities of the
Sisters of Saint Joseph, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the
Sisters of Charity, the Christian Brothers, and the Sisters who
staffed our parish school before it closed. Please join us and offer
your prayerful gratitude and support to the men and women who
have dedicated their lives to minister in the church.
