Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
January 24, 2016
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring glad tidings to the poor.
— Luke 4:18a
LIVING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most beloved
imagery is contained in the passages from First Corinthians that we have heard last week and this week: the many
gifts granted by the one same Spirit and the many members making up the one Body of Christ. Few passages
from sacred scripture more accurately sum up how Christian vocations work together.
Unlike some of Paul’s other writings, which are a
product of the social and religious conventions of his
time, these enable us to look at our own lives and the
lives of those around us to discern what gifts, what vocations the Holy Spirit has given for the good of all. We can
likewise know the joys and sorrows of the other members
of the Body and share in them for the strengthening of the
whole Body of Christ.

DID YOU KNOW?
Setting boundaries fosters healthy relationships
We create boundaries to keep our lives in order, for
example many adults separate personal and professional relationships. Trusted adults can help teach
children to do the same. Boundaries are essential in
the foundation of relationships, and children should
be comfortable expressing where they draw their
own lines. “No means no” is easy to say in theory,
but it should be respected in practice by your kids
and their friends, teachers and other adults. Teach
your kids how to explore their own comfort zones
and give them time to tell you about their experiences. Open communication helps them understand that
setting boundaries is part of life. For a copy of the
Virtus® article “Good Boundaries Yield Healthy
Relationships” email [email protected].
¿SABIA USTED?
Establecer límites da lugar a relaciones
saludables
Establecemos límites para mantener nuestras vidas
en orden. Por ejemplo, muchos adultos separan sus
relaciones personales de las profesionales. Adultos
en los que se puede confiar pueden ayudar a enseñar
a los niños a hacer lo mismo. Los límites son
esenciales en el cimiento de relaciones y los niños
deben sentirse cómodos al expresar dónde ellos
desean poner sus propios límites. En teoría es fácil
decir “No significa no”, pero debe ser respetado en
la práctica por sus hijos y sus amistades, profesores
y otros adultos. Enseñe a sus hijos cómo explorar
sus propias zonas de comodidad y déles el tiempo
para que le cuenten sobre sus propias experiencias.
La comunicación abierta les ayuda a entender que
sentar fronteras es parte de la vida. Para una copia

Healthy Relationships” (Buenos límites dan lugar a
relaciones saludables) escriba un correo electrónico

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
As Roman Catholics, our marriage practices have their
pedigree in ancient Rome. One of the major players in shaping
our practices was the warfare involved in building an empire.
Soldiers vanished and sometimes never returned. Women began to manage their lives and to make decisions. The old family values were replaced by patriotic ones, and religion was
more attuned to the gore and glory of battle, a religion of the
state, not of the family. Weddings were still family celebrations, but had a public face. The bride wore a white toga and a
red veil and walked to her new home. There, she and her husband joined their right hands and gave consent to each other,
not relying on her father to give consent for her. Religion was
optional: a pagan priest might be invited or not, and even without the ceremony, society agreed by common law that a year of
living together equaled marriage consent. By the same token,
marriage by consent also meant divorce was on the same legal
footing, and did not require the courts or civil declarations.
This is the world-view the first Christians inherited, and it was
up to them to determine what was good and to hold marriage
up to the light of the gospel.

Each year hundreds of millions of pairs of gently worn
used and new shoes get deposited into American landfills.
Funds2orgs can use these shoes to help individuals in under developed nations such as Haiti, Honduras, and Africa,
to create and sustain micro-businesses that help them live
well above the poverty levels in their region.
Funds2orgs will allow us to receive $.40 per pound for all
the shoes we receive.
The money raised will go towards St. Rose of Lima School
to benefit our students.
How can you help?
Check your closets for any unwanted gently worn shoes
that you no longer want.
Bring to St. Rose of Lima School and deposit shoes in
marked bins that will be available.
It’s that easy.

El espíritu del Señor está sobre mi,
porque me ha ungido
para llevar a los pobres la buena
nueva.
— Lucas 4:18a
LA VIDA DEL CUERPO DE CRISTO
Algunas de las imágenes más conocidas y queridas de
san Pablo se encuentran en los pasajes de la primera carta
a los corintios que hemos escuchado la semana pasada y
hoy: los muchos dones de un mismo Espíritu y los muchos miembros que componen el Cuerpo de Cristo. Pocos
pasajes de la Sagrada Escritura resumen con mayor claridad cómo las vocaciones cristianas trabajan en colaboración.
A diferencia de otros escritos de san Pablo, producto
de las convenciones sociales y religiosas de su época,
estos nos permiten mirar nuestra propia vida y la vida de
los que están a nuestro alrededor para discernir los dones,
la vocación que el Espíritu Santo nos ha dado para el bien
de todos. Así también podemos conocer las alegrías y las
penas de los otros miembros del Cuerpo y compartirlos
para así fortalecer todo el Cuerpo de Cristo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El día 3 de febrero se celebra entre misas, mariachis, fuegos artificiales y muchas expresiones de religiosidad popular, la
fiesta de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción de Suyapa en Honduras. Fue un sábado del mes de febrero, cuando Alejandro
Colindres, un joven humilde labrador, y Jorge Martínez, un
niño de ocho años, la encontraron.
Según la tradición estos llegaron cansados a la quebrada
del Piligüín. Acostándose sobre el suelo, Alejandro sintió lo
que le parecía una piedra en su espalda. Por más que intentaba
arrojarla lejos, cuando se acostaba sentía la misma piedra. Por
fin en lugar de tirarla, la puso en su mochila y al amanecer descubrió que no era piedra sino una pequeña imagen de María
(6.5 cm.) con rostro indígena tallada en madera.
En 1780 se le construyó un templo y en 1796 se registró su
primer milagro. El Papa Pió XII la proclamó Patrona de la República de Honduras en 1925. En las advocaciones latinoamericanas ella es nombrada como la fortaleza de los humildes.

PERDONA RÁPIDO
Si tienes algo que perdonar, perdona rápido. El perdón
lento es poco mejor que la ausencia de perdón.

ELUSIVA FELICIDAD
La felicidad nunca será nuestra si no reconocemos en al-
gún grado que las bendiciones que Dios nos dio son para
el bienestar de todos.
