Mission Statement
We are one body in Christ and
individually parts of one another.
Vision Statement
To be a community that is nurtured
through the Eucharist and
empowered by the Holy Spirit to
serve God and neighbor.
The Liturgy of the Day
Now that Ordinary Time is under
way, we will be hearing from
Mark’s Gospel for most of the year.
This week, we hear his version of
the call of the disciples. The
disciples are at their daily task,
fishing, when Jesus approaches
them. As we gather to pray today, it
might be good to reflection on how
God approaches us in our own
daily tasks. Let us pray for the
grace to be open to God’s presence
in even the smallest things we do.
a la Liturgia del Día
Ahora que el tiempo ordinario está en
curso escucharemos el Evangelio de
Marcos la mayor parte del año. Esta
semana oiremos su versión del
llamado de los discípulos. Los
discípulos
se
encuentran
desempeñando su tarea cotidiana, o
sea pescando, cuando Jesús se acerca.
Sería bueno reflexionar hoy, que
estamos aquí reunidos para orar,
acerca de cómo se acerca Dios a
nosotros en medio de nuestras tareas
cotidianas. Oremos para permanecer
abiertos a la presencia de Dios aun en
las cosas más insignificantes que
hagamos.

Reflection
“The political community has a duty to honor
the family, to assist it, and to ensure especially:
 The freedom to establish a family, have
children, and bring them up in keeping
with the family’s own moral and religious
convictions;
 The protection of the stability of the
marriage bond and the institution of the
family’...
 The protection for security and health,
especially with respect to dangers like
drug, pornography, alcoholism, etc….”

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de homilía
• No con palabras, sino con obras.
En los domingos del tiempo
ordinario el Antiguo Testamento
nos prepara para el Evangelio. Los
judíos creyentes consideraban que
la redención era imposible para
Nínive, que su gente era
irremediablemente pagana, corrupta e inmune a
cualquier misión o mensaje del Dios de Israel. Pero
después de tan sólo un día de la misión de Jonás, y
sorprendiendo tanto a Jonás como a Dios, todos los
habitantes responden no de palabras, sino de obras:
con ayuno y vistiendo ropa penitencial.
• El mundo de Jonás, el mundo de Jesús, nuestro
mundo y nosotros mismos. Jesús comienza su
ministerio en tiempos peligrosos, ya que Juan el
Bautista había sido arrestado. Y también en un lugar
nada ideal, pues no comenzó en la tranquilidad del
desierto de Juan, ni en la ciudad santa de Jerusalén
con su religiosidad sofisticada y una población
espiritualmente comprometida, sino en Galilea donde
los judíos y paganos vivían mezclados y en
proximidad teniendo como resultado una mezcla de
observaciones religiosas, indiferencia y aun
conflictos. En otras palabras, semejante al mundo en
que vivimos ahora. Al igual que Jonás, Jesús desafía
a su audiencia para que se arrepienta. Al igual que el
pueblo de Nínive, los primeros discípulos
respondieron inmediatamente porque Jesús declara
que “el Reino de Dios ya está cerca” y no se trata de
un lugar, sino de un estilo de vida. ¡Cómo luciría el
mundo si nuestro estilo de vida estuviera en
consonancia con el plan clemente, salvífico y
benévolo de Dios! Acción aquí y ahora. ¡No con
palabras, sino con obras!
• Cuarenta días. Dios le dio a Nínive un plazo de
cuarenta días para arrepentirse. Pronto comenzarán
nuestros cuarenta días, la Cuaresma, con el ayuno de
Nínive y la predicación de Jesús: “Arrepiéntete y cree
en el Evangelio”. Es el doble proceso del discipulado:
deja el pasado y lánzate al futuro; vuélvele la espalda
a tu antiguo camino y sígueme. Y Pablo nos recuerda
que “se ha cumplido el tiempo”. No con palabras,
sino con obras.
Pregunta de la semana
¿De qué manera las palabras de Jesús hoy me
inspirarán en esta semana próxima a un compromiso
de fe y testimonio, de compasión y servicio? ¿Qué
puedo hacer para que mi compromiso sea tan
decisivo y definitivo como el de Nínive, Simón,
Andrés, Santiago y Juan?
