~ Pastor’s Column ~
In his general audience during the Week of
Prayer for Christian Unity, Pope Francis
focused on the common baptism Christians
share, saying the strength of this bond is
stronger than existing divisions.
“We are truly the Holy People of God, even if,
due to our sins, we are not yet a people fully
united,” the Pope said in his Jan. 20 general
audience, adding that “the mercy of God, which
works in baptism, is stronger than our divisions.”
Referring to the Second Vatican Council
document “Unitatis redintegratio”, the Pope
affirmed that baptism “establishes a
sacramental bond of unity which links all who
have been reborn by it.”
Above all, this shared baptism means that
all are sinners and are in need of being saved,
redeemed and freed from evil, he said.
Francis noted that despite our common roots,
all Christians unfortunately experience egoism,
which plants seeds of division, closure and
contempt in our minds and hearts.
By restarting from our baptism, Christians
again “plunge into the source of mercy and
hope, from which no one is excluded,” he said.
This experience of shared grace creates “an
indissoluble bond between us Christians, such
that, by virtue of baptism, we can consider
ourselves truly brothers,” he said, adding that
the more we welcome this grace and mercy,
the more we belong to the one, Holy People of
God. “We also become capable of announcing
his marvelous works to all, beginning from a
simple and fraternal witness of unity,” Francis
observed.
He said a good way for all Christians to work
together in this announcement is by performing
the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, which
are “a concrete witness of unity among us
Christians: Protestants, Orthodox and
Catholics.”
Pope Francis concluded his speech by
pointing to the common mission Christians
have in transmitting the mercy they have
received in baptism to others, beginning with
the poor and abandoned.
“During this Week of Prayer, we pray so
that all of us disciples of Christ find a way of
collaborating together in order to bring the
mercy of the Father to every part of the world,”
he said, and greeted pilgrims present from
different countries around the world before
leaving the building.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
January 18th - January 25th
An Archdiocesan-Wide Drive to Replenish Dwindling Food
Pantries Sun., January 24, 2016 – Sun., January 31, 2016
January 18-25, 2016 is the annual observance of
the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The theme
chosen for 2016 is Called to Proclaim the Mighty
Acts of the Lord. (cf. 1 Peter 2:9) Throughout 2016,
join Christians everywhere in praying “that they may
all be one” joining our prayer with that of the Lord
Jesus Christ. For more information go
to: www.geii.org
We begin the week of Prayer for Christian Unity by
proclaiming the Lord’s desire for unity. It is Jesus
who comes towards us and knocks at our door.
He comes to save that which is lost and to gather
in God’s scattered children. The invitation to be part
of this covenant is extended to all peoples in Jesus
Christ. All who enter into it are in fellowship with the
Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. This relationship
with God, therefore, binds all Christians together
as one body, one family so that all may be one as
Jesus and his Father are one.
Prayer… We thank you, Lord, for your gift of
conversion and reconciliation which restores our
relationship with you and with one another. Grant
that our works may fulfill your will. Deepen within
us the desire for the unity. Guide us towards the
light of your Word through the presence of your
Holy Spirit. Unite us and sanctify us, we pray.
We ask this through Christ, Our Lord, Amen.

San Juan Evangelista Iglesia
Recepción a seguir en Auditorio SJE
¡Todos son bienvenidos para asistir!
El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque
me ha ungido...”
Uno de los pasajes más impactantes de la escritura es el que nos trae el evangelio de hoy. Es
impactante, pero pasa bastante inadvertido, muy
probablemente por la discreción de Jesús. Es
aquel momento en que Jesús dice que es a El a
quien se refiere la profecía de Isaías que anuncia
la labor del Mesías.
Nos dice el evangelio que Jesús, habiendo ya
realizado su primer milagro en Caná de Galilea,
comenzó a enseñar en las sinagogas. Es importante notar que existía un solo Templo, el de Jerusalén, donde se celebraban las grandes fiestas
judías y habían ceremonias en que los sacerdotes ofrecían sacrificios. Pero cada pueblo tenía
su propia sinagoga, donde cada sábado, se celebraba un oficio litúrgico en el que era fácil participar para leer y comentar la Palabra de Dios.
Así fue como Jesús comenzó a darse a conocer: leyendo y enseñando en las sinagogas sobre
todo de Galilea. Nos dice San Lucas que“todos lo
alababan y su fama se extendió por toda la región”.
Jesús, entonces, decide ir a Nazaret, el pueblo
donde había crecido y vivido. Y ese sábado -no
por casualidad, sino seguramente porque como
Dios, así lo dispuso- le tocó “el volumen de Profeta Isaías y encontró el pasaje en que estaba escrito” lo que se refería a la misión del Mesías: “El
Espíritu del Señor está sobre Mí, porque me ha
ungido para llevar a los pobres la buena nueva...”
Siempre que se leía este trozo, la gente pensaba
en ese personaje misterioso tan esperado por
todo el pueblo de Israel. Pero ese día en que
Jesús lee lo dicho sobre El, se le ocurre rematar
la lectura diciendo: “Hoy mismo se ha cumplido
este pasaje de la escritura que acaban de
oír”. Que es lo mismo que decir: “Ese de quien
habla Isaías soy Yo”.
