During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis calls us to
share with everyone the tender compassion of God that we
ourselves have experienced. In today’s Gospel, Luke uses
a special Greek word conveying just such tenderness.
In the other Gospels, Jesus calls the disciples to be
“fishers,” haleis, the same word that means catching fish
with hooks or nets, to be killed and eaten. But Luke uses
zogron, from zoe or “life,” meaning “catch or gather
people alive,” as animal lovers capture without harming,
rescue from “the wild” for a better life, and protect
in aquarium or zoo, tenderly cared for by professionals
committed to the creatures’ well-being. So in Luke’s vision—
and Pope Francis’ as well—we who have been “caught alive” by
God’s mercy ourselves are to become “missionaries of mercy” during
this Jubilee Year of Mercy, rescuing fellow sinners from danger and
gathering them into Jesus’ community to enjoy fullness of life.

Year of Mercy
Lent - Fast and Abstinence Rules
Abstinence - All US Catholics who have
completed their 14th year are bound by the
Law of Abstinence - - abstaining from meat
on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all
other Fridays during Lent. Note that there is
no upper age limit to the law of abstinence.
Fast - All US Catholics who have completed
their 18th year up to the beginning of their
60th year are bound by the Law of Fasting
- - One full meal per day, with 2 lighter meals
to maintain strength. Days of Fast are Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday.
Excused from fast or abstinence (besides those outside the
age limits) are those of unsound mind, the sick, the frail,
pregnant or nursing women according to need for meat or
nourishment, manual laborers according to need - - and
other circumstances that would seriously hinder us in
carrying out our work.
Give Warmth to Those in Need
In this Jubilee Year of Mercy we are asked to perform works of
mercy. What better way than to provide for those who are out in
the cold this Winter. In January we set up a “tree” in front of the
Mission to provide warmth for those in need. This tree contains
scarves, hats, gloves, umbrellas and whatever else you can think of
to help keep a person warm during the winter months. Well, it has
been such a great success, we are having a hard time keeping it filled
and NEED YOUR HELP! If you can knit, crochet, sew, shop, or even
clean out your closets... Your welcomed donations may be dropped
off at the Parish Office and we’ll keep our tree full of warmth.
Notice to Pastoral Care Ministers
We will have individual containers of “ashes” in the Sacristy on
Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016. If you would like to visit the
person you are ministering to in honor of the start of the Lenton
Season please take ashes to those you serve who are homebound.
Thank you.
Blessings, Patty Moyer Pepper

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
Gracious God and Father,
we enter into your presence
realizing you know us
better than we know ourselves.
You know the cares and sufferings
we carry in our hearts.
You call us to holiness
and we trust you to
lead us together on our journey
to be a renewed Church,
for with you all things are possible.
We believe you are
doing something new,
calling us to arise together in Christ
to celebrate the fullness of life.
Amen.

5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke connected the great fishing
catch with the calling of the
disciples. While it is an important
miracle about the mission of the
disciples, it appears here with the
calling of Peter, James, and John.
Apparently business partners, Peter
called James and John to help him
with the big catch Jesus provided.
The invitation to these three was to
“net in” people for the Kingdom as
abundantly as they had netted in
the fish.

Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
hacer una buena confesión y
¿Cómo
ganar la indulgencia jubilar?
QUINTA PARTE: Otros pretextos
que te impiden confesar.
- Me da vergüenza...
Es natural sentir vergüenza, pero hay que superarla.
Hay un hecho comprobado universalmente: cuanto
más te cueste decir algo, tanto mayor será la paz
interior que consigas después de decirlo. Además, no
creas que eres tan original…. Lo que vas a decir, el
cura ya lo escuchó trescientas mil veces… No hay nada
nuevo. Un gran santo decía que “el diablo quita la
vergüenza para pecar… y la devuelve aumentada para
pedir perdón…” No caigas en su trampa.
- Siempre me confieso de lo mismo...
Eso no es problema. Hay que confesar los pecados que
uno ha cometido… y es bastante lógico que nuestros
defectos sean siempre más o menos los mismos… Sería
terrible ir cambiando constantemente de defectos… La
ropa se nos ensucia siempre de lo mismo y de todos
modos la lavamos.
- Siempre confieso los mismos pecados...
No es verdad que sean siempre los mismos pecados:
cada vez que se peca es un pecado diferente, aunque
sean de la misma especie… Si robas cinco veces no es
un solo pecado (de robar), sino un pecado por cada vez
que lo haces. Y si ya te perdonaron esas cinco y lo haces
otra vez, tienes que confesarte de nuevo.
- Confesarme no sirve de nada, sigo cometiendo los pecados
que confieso...
El desánimo, puede hacer que pienses: “es lo mismo
si me confieso o no, total, nada cambia, todo sigue
igual”. Pero no es verdad. Uno que se baña todos los
días… se ensucia igual. Pero gracias a que se baña, no
va acumulando tanta mugre. Lo mismo pasa con la
confesión. Si hay lucha, aunque uno caiga, el hecho de
ir sacándose de encima los pecados… hace que seamos
mejores. Es mejor pedir perdón, que no pedirlo.
- Y si el cura piensa mal de mí...
El sacerdote está allí para perdonar… Si pensara mal,
sería un problema suyo del que tendría que confesarse.
De hecho siempre piensa bien: él valora tu fe (sabe
que si estás ahí contando tus pecados, no es por él…
sino porque tú crees en el perdón que viene de Dios),
aprecia tu sinceridad y tus ganas de mejorar. Supongo
que te darás cuenta de que sentarse a escuchar pecados,
gratis -sin ganar un peso-, durante horas, si no se hace
por amor a las almas… no se hace. De ahí que, si te
dedica tiempo, te escucha con atención… es porque
quiere ayudarte y le importas… aunque no te conozca
te valora lo suficiente como para querer ayudarte.
- Y si el cura después le cuenta a alguien mis pecados...
No te preocupes por eso. La Iglesia cuida tanto este
asunto que aplica la pena más grande que existe en el
Derecho Canónico -la ex-comunión- al sacerdote que
diga algo que conoce por la confesión. Hay mártires por
causa del sigilo sacramental: sacerdotes que han muerto
por no revelar el contenido de alguna confesión.
No más pretextos, confía en la misericordia de Dios y
usa de la Confesión.
P. Braulio
A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
7 de febrero de 2016 • Quinto Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
Durante este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia,
el Papa Francisco nos llama a compartir con
cada uno la tierna compasión de Dios que
nosotros mismos hemos experimentado.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Lucas utiliza
una interesante palabra en griego que
conlleva dicha ternura. En los otros
evangelios, Jesús llama a sus discípulos
a ser pescadores “haleis”, una palabra
que significa atrapar peces con ganchos o
redes, para matarlos y comerlos. Pero Lucas
usa la palabra “zogron” cuya raíz es “zoe” que
significa vida; esta palabra que usa Lucas
significa “atrapar o reunir personas vivas”, así como las
personas que gustan de atrapar animales sin lastimarlos,
rescatarlos de la “vida salvaje” para darles una vida
mejor y protegerlos en acuarios o zoológicos, tiernamente
cuidados por profesionales comprometidos al bienestar de
esas criaturas. Así que en la visión de Lucas y también la
del Papa Francisco, nosotros que hemos sido “atrapados
vivos” por la misericordia de Dios nosotros mismos nos
convertimos en “misioneros de la misericordia” durante
este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, rescatando a nuestros
prójimos pecadores del peligro y reuniéndolos en la
comunidad de Jesús para disfrutar de la plenitud de la vida.
