Saint Mary Roman Catholic Church 1000 North Jefferson Avenue, Goldsboro NC 27530-3141 919-734-5033 Rev. Alex Gonzalez, Pastor Deacon Webster James January 31, 2016—Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time THE GREAT HYMN TO LOVE It is doubtful that Saint Paul, when he sat down to write what we now know as the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians, knew that he was penning what was to become one of the keystones of Christian ethics. In this brief passage, he set down ideals about love that have held fast through the centuries. Sometimes we may think that because these are ideals to which we aspire, we are excused from them in our daily living. But what Paul was writing was a letter to his friends, providing them with some sound advice about what it meant--and still means--to live in love, day by day, as a follower of Christ. We find in his words to his friends a broadening of the great commands of Jesus to love God and neighbor. Today we hear what this love must look like in our own actions, and how it ought to guide our relationships with others. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Year of Mercy Pilgrimage... The Faith Formation Office is planning a pilgrimage to Emmitsburg, MD the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton with a side visit to the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Change in date of the Pilgrimage: to help accommodate more people we have changed the date of our Pilgrimage to Friday, April 15, thru Sunday April 17. We will leave on Friday in the early afternoon and return on Sunday. Hopefully the change in dates will allow those who work to join us without the need to take extra vacation days. For the first four centuries or so, there seems not to have been a sense of marriage as a church institution. Christians followed civil law, which kept the wedding in a family setting. Bishops wanted people to be good citizens insofar as possible, and so they recognized the government's role in marriage. In general, they expected Christians to know that marriage was good, that marriage to other Christians was best, and to take it easy on the wild wedding parties. They agreed that marriage was a divine institution, that Christ blessed it especially, and they loved referring to the miracle at the wedding feast of Cana. Still, even when Christianity became the official religion of the empire in 380, marriage remained a family matter. On wedding days people gathered in the bride's house, where the father would "give her hand" to her husband, draping a garland of flowers over the couple. There were no official words to say, there was no blessing to be given. Everyone walked in procession to the bride's new home for the concluding rites and the feast. In the Eastern Empire, it soon became customary to invite a priest or bishop to give a blessing at the meal or the day before. It was a nice thing to do, completely optional, but had a "photo-op" feel to it that was widely emulated. Before long, at least in the East, it looked as if the priest were joining the couple in marriage and blessing the union. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Goldsboro, N. C.

Agenda of Planned Parenthood I refer to the letter which professed that Planned Parenthood has "no personal agenda." The response to this allegation is simple: the facts do not lie. Planned Parenthood, the great champion of "choice", aborts approximately 5,000 American babies every week. That figure (which incidentally is Planned Parenthood's own number) is considerably more than the 3,000 Americans that died in the terrorist attack on September 11. Planned Parenthood is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. -behind non-Planned Parenthood abortions (19,700 a week), heart disease (12,500 a week) and cancer (10,500 a week). Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar business and makes tens of millions of dollars of profit each year. It claims to want to make abortion "rare," a most peculiar description given the current death toll. Indeed, this is similar to the tobacco companies claiming that they do not want people to smoke. Follow the money. Does anyone really believe them? Whatever Planned Parenthood claims, there is but one tragic response: 5,000 a week. ~Pro-Life Articles for Bulletins. A FORETASTE Faith is the foretaste of that knowledge which hereafter will make us happy. --St. Thomas Aquinas Please, remember to Pray the Rosary for an end to abortion.

Your generosity is an inspiration to all of us. Thank you and God Bless you for your generous hearts. Jubilee Year of Mercy January 31, 2016 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Rave reviews greeted Jesus' first hometown homily proclaiming a year of God's mercy, but the mood turned violent when he went on to declare that God's mercy embraces outsiders; it rejects distinctions between citizen and foreigner, acceptable and unworthy, even sinner and saint. Far from being anyone's personal possession, God's kingdom is open to everyone, God's love unconditional, God's mercy boundless. By this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis repeats Jesus' challenge in today's Gospel to broaden our horizons until our vision matches Jesus' vision of every sinner as a potential saint, and each suffering stranger as our neighbor. Jesus, says Pope Francis, continually went beyond the law, keeping company with public sinners and even sharing meals with them to demonstrate that God's mercy is "the beating heart of the Gospel" (Misericordiae Vultus, 12). To be truly Jesus' disciples, such unconditional love and boundless mercy must also be at the center of all we say and do. --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En muchos hogares latinos el tiempo de Navidad terminó el día dos de febrero con la levantada del Niño Dios en la fiesta de la Candelaria. Es interesante como el pueblo cristiano tiene un cierto afecto para Jesús en su aspecto de niño. Desde hace siglos con el evangelista Lucas y la virgen María la imaginación cristiana ha ido buscando al Divino Niño en el templo; con san Cristóbal lleva cargando al Niño Dios sobre los hombros mientras cruza el rió de la vida y san Antonio de Lisboa juega con el Niñito Jesús sobre un libro teológico mientras estudia la Palabra de Dios. Fueron los monjes cistercienses del siglo XII quienes primero desarrollaron esta devoción al Niño Jesús. En su afán por conocer mejor al Dios hecho humano entraban por medio de la meditación imaginativa en los cuatro evangelios. Esta meditación es un entrar en la vida de Jesús de tal manera que vives los eventos en tu corazón y desarrollar así una relación afectiva con el Señor. La devoción al Niño Dios debe ser acompañada de la lectio divina. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. EL GRAN HIMNO AL AMOR Cabe dudar que, cuando san Pablo se sentó a escribir lo que ahora conocemos como el capítulo trece de la primera carta a los corintios, supiera que lo que estaba escribiendo se convertiría en una clave principal de la ética cristiana. En este breve pasaje, ha consignado ideales sobre el amor que se han mantenido firmes en el transcurso de los siglos. A veces pensamos que porque estos son sólo ideales a los que uno aspira, estamos libres de no practicarlos en nuestra vida diaria. Lo que Pablo estaba escribiendo era Goldsboro, N. C. una carta a sus amigos, dándoles buenos consejos sobre lo que significaba y todavía significa- vivir en el amor, día a día, en seguimiento de Cristo. Encontramos en las palabras a sus amigos una ampliación del gran mandamiento de Jesús de amar a Dios y al prójimo. Hoy en día escuchamos cómo este amor debe expresarse en nuestras acciones, y cómo debe regir nuestras relaciones con los demás. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 31 de enero de 2016 Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Aunque con criticas muy favorables recibidas en la primera predicación de Jesús en su pueblo proclamando un Año de la Misericordia de Dios, pero el estado de animo se puso violento cuando Jesús habló de la misericordia de Dios que incluye a los forasteros y rechaza las distinciones entre ciudadano y extranjero, dignos e indignos, incluso pecador y santo. Muy lejos de ser la posesión personal de alguien, el Reino de Dios está abierto a todos, el amor es incondicional, la misericordia de Dios no tiene fronteras. Para este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia el Papa Francisco repite el desafío de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy para mirar más allá de nuestros horizontes hasta que veamos lo mismo que Jesús ve de cada pecador, Jesús ve un santo en potencia, y un prójimo en cada forastero sufriente. El Papa Francisco dice que Jesús constantemente fue más allá de la Ley, al estar continuamente acompañado con pecadores e incluso comer junto con ellos para demostrar que la misericordia de Dios es el "corazón palpitante del Evangelio" (Misericodiae Vultus, 12). Para ser verdaderamente discípulos de Jesús, ese amor incondicional y misericordia sin límites debe estar en el centro de todo lo que decimos y hacemos. --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S.

Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 8 Lecturas De La Semana Lunes: 2 Samuel 15:13-14, 30; 16:5-13; Salmos 3:2-7; Marco 5:1-20 Martes: Malaquías 3:1-4; Sal 24 (23):7-10; Hebreos 2:14-18; Lucas 2:22-40 [22-32] Miércoles: 2 Samuel 24:2, 9-17; Salmos 32 (31):1-2, 5-7; Marco 6:1-6 Jueves: 1 Reyes 2:1-4, 10-12; 1 Corintios 29:10-12; Marco 6:7-13 Viernes: Eclesiástico 47:2-11; Salmos 18 (17):31, 47, 50, 51; Marco 6:14-29 Sábado: 1 Reyes 3:4-13; Salmos 119 (118):9-14; Marco 6:30-34 Domingo: Isaísa 6:1-2a, 3-8; Salmos 138 (137):1-5, 7-8; 1 Corintios 15:1-11 [3-8, 11]; Lc 5:1-11 La agenda de trabajo de “Planned Parenthood” Hago referencia a un comunicado que manifiesta que la organización Planned Parenthood (Planificación Familiar en español), “no tiene su propia agenda de trabajo”. La respuesta a esta afirmación es sencilla: los hechos no mienten. Planned Parenthood, el gran campeón de “el derecho a elegir”, permite el aborto de aproximadamente 5.000 niños americanos cada semana. Esta cifra (que precisamente es de las propias estadísticas de Planned Parenthood) es considerablemente más alta que los 3.000 americanos que murieron en el ataque terrorista del 11 de Septiembre. Planned Parenthood ocupa el cuarto lugar entre las principales causas de muerte en los Estados Unidos, luego de los ostros abortos no realizados por Planned Parenthood (19,700 por semana), enfermedades del corazón 31 de enero de 2016 (12,500 por semana) y cáncer (10,500 por semana). Planned Parenthood es un negocio de un billón de dólares, que genera ganancias de decenas de millones de dólares cada año. Esta empresa asegura que quiere hacer del aborto algo “inusual”, la descripción más peculiar que se puede haber dado a este instrumento de muerte. Realmente que esto es muy similar a la propaganda que incluyen las empresas que producen cigarrillo, previniendo a la gente que no fume, pero cuando se trata del dinero, alguien realmente les cree esto a estas empresas? Cualquier cosa que asegure Planned Parenthood no importa, lo cierto es que es la responsable de 5.000 muertes semanales. Anticipación La fe espera de Dios lo que está más allá de toda expectativa. ~Andrew Murry
