It wasn’t much for Jesus to ask – just to borrow Peter’s fishing boat (and some of his time) so the people pressing in on Him could hear the Word of God. Peter was no doubt happy to comply – Jesus had recently cured his mother-in-law and he was glad to “return the favor.” My own memories of life at Notre Dame Catholic Church and School testify that this generation, too, wishes to lend a “boat” or a hand to Jesus’ ministry. Our team and staff at parish and school serve with a deep sense of vocation – and for wages far below scale. Countless parishioners staff meetings for many ministries, praying and planning in order to bring about God’s presence among us – like Isaiah’s vision of God from today’s first reading. Catechists announce God’s Gospel to the next generation; societies keep long-held religious values alive; our annual Festival is supported by selfless servants; and faithful ministers assist in the full participation of God’s people in our Sunday feast. In addition, the ministry of St. Peter upon the Water calls us to reflect on Jesus the Word – what He says and what He does. Moreover, the parish’s financial reports indicate Notre Dame’s willingness to sacrifice financially in order to support our parish ministries. I am deeply grateful, because this generous response to stewardship flows from gratitude for what God has first done for us. And today we are also invited to partner with our Archbishop in supporting his ministry of service to the entire Archdiocese of San Antonio. Please pledge something to the Archbishop’s Appeal for his use. Grateful generosity is the appropriate response of those who fully understand their predicament – as did Isaiah in today’s first reading and Peter in today’s second reading. Isaiah’s words especially moved me at my ordination: “I am a man of unclean lips.” Is this not clearly depicted in the real world around us? Yet it is also true that we “have seen J the Lord of hosts,” and we have been forgiven and cleansed. Peter understood Isaiah’s words, too, for he begged Jesus, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” Not that Jesus wasn’t aware of this – He knew Peter’s sin better than Peter did. But sinfulness didn’t keep God from calling Isaiah, nor did it keep Jesus from calling Peter, nor does it stop God from calling us. We are sinners, but we have been redeemed, and our one response is thanksgiving – to pledge not a portion of who we are or what we have, but our entire lives. We are God’s. Everything. No strings attached. No reservations. In grace we are healed. In grace we surrender. In gratitude may we, the people of Notre Dame Catholic Church and School, offer our support to our great Archbishop Gustavo and the God he serves so faithfully! In Jesus, Fr. Mike TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — In a vision Isaiah is called to be a messenger for the LORD of hosts. Isaiah responds, “Send me!” (Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8) Psalm — In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord (Psalm 138). Second Reading — Paul reminds us of the gospel he preached through which we are saved, if we believe it (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 [3-8, 11]). Gospel — Jesus directs Simon to take his boat into deep water for a miraculous catch of fish. Simon and his partners leave all to follow Jesus (Luke 5:1-11).

Para Jesús no era mucho pedir - sólo era pedir prestado el barco de San Pedro (y un poco de su tiempo) para que el pueblo que se agolpaba sobre Él pudiera oír la Palabra de Dios. San Pedro sin duda accedió, estaba feliz de cumplir - Jesús había curado recientemente a su suegra y se alegraba de "devolver el favor". Mis propios recuerdos de la vida en la Parroquia y Escuela Católica de Notre Dame testifican que esta generación, también, desea echar una "barca" o ayudar al ministerio de Jesús. Nuestro equipo, el personal de la parroquia y la escuela, sirven con un profundo sentido de la vocación - y por salarios muy por debajo de la escala. Innumerables reuniones de feligreses para muchos ministerios, orando y planificando con el fin de lograr la presencia de Dios entre nosotros - como la visión de Isaías de Dios, en la primera lectura de hoy. Las catequistas anuncian el Evangelio de Dios para la próxima generación; las sociedades mantienen arraigados y vivos los valores religiosos; nuestro festival anual se apoya en servidores desinteresados; y los ministros fieles asisten en la plena participación del pueblo de Dios en nuestra celebración Dominical. Además, el ministerio de San Pedro sobre las Aguas nos llama a reflexionar sobre la Palabra de Jesús - lo que dice y lo que hace. Por otra parte, los informes financieros de la parroquia indican la voluntad de Notre Dame, de sacrificarse económicamente con el fin de apoyar a nuestros ministerios parroquiales. Estoy profundamente agradecido, porque esta respuesta generosa a la administración fluye de la gratitud por lo que Dios ha hecho primero con nosotros. Y hoy, también están invitados a colaborar con nuestro Arzobispo, en el apoyo a su ministerio de servicio para toda la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio. Por favor comprométanse con algo para la Campaña del Arzobispo. La generosidad de corazón es la respuesta apropiada de los que entienden plenamente su situación - como lo hizo hoy Isaías en la primera lectura y San Pedro en la segunda lectura. Las palabras de Isaías sobre todo me trasladaron a mi ordenación: "Yo soy un hombre de labios impuros." ¿No está esto representado claramente en el mundo real que nos rodea? Sin embargo, también es cierto que "hemos visto... al Señor de los ejércitos," y hemos sido perdonados y limpiados. San Pedro entendió las palabras de Isaías, también, porque él le rogó a Jesús: "Apártate de mí, Señor, que soy un hombre pecador." No es que Jesús no estuviera consciente de ello – Jesús conocía los pecados de San Pedro mejor que el propio Pedro. Pero el pecado no detuvo a Dios de llamar a Isaías, ni tampoco evitó que Jesús llamara a San Pedro, ni detiene a Dios de llamarnos. Somos pecadores, pero hemos sido redimidos, y nuestra única respuesta es la acción de gracias - de prometer no una parte de lo que somos o lo que tenemos, sino toda nuestra vida. Somos de Dios. Todo. Sin ataduras. Sin reservaciones. En la gracia somos curados. En la gracia nos rendimos. ¡Que en gratitud nosotros podamos, los feligreses de la Parroquia y Escuela Católica de Notre Dame, ofrecer nuestro apoyo a nuestro Arzobispo Gustavo y a Dios a quien sirve con tanta fidelidad! En Jesús, Padre Mike LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — En una visión, el Señor de los ejércitos llama a Isaías a ser su representante. Isaías responde, “¡Envíame!” (Isaías 6:1-2a, 3-8) Salmo — Cuando te invocamos, Señor, nos escuchaste (Salmo 138 [137]). Segunda lectura — Pablo nos recuerda el Evangelio que nos predicó por medio del cual somos salvados, si creemos (1 Corintios 15:1-11). Evangelio —Jesús le indica a Simón que lleve la barca a la parte más honda para una pesca milagrosa. Simón y sus compañeros lo dejaron todo para seguir a Jesús (Lucas 5:111).

Throughout history, God has been ‘merciful in practice.’ Mercy is not a mere theology but a way we see and understand God. God is mercy and love.” (Article 6) “HYMN FOR THE HOLY YEAR OF MERCY” Misericordes sicut Pater!

A lo largo de la historia, Dios ha sido 'misericordiosos en la práctica." La misericordia no es una mera teología, sino una forma de ver y entender a Dios. Dios es misericordia y amor".

She died at the early age of 24, yet accomplished great things through the power of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The church made her the patroness of missionaries to emphasize this most important truth: One soul coming before the Blessed Sacrament can change the world! St. Therese said, “My mission is to make God loved.” May she intercede for us in spreading Eucharistic Adoration throughout the world!

La Iglesia la nombró Patrona de los Misioneros, para enfatizar esta importantisima verdad: ¡Un alma que viene ante el Santisimo Sacramento puede cambiar el mundo! Santa Teresita dijo, “Mi misión es que Dios sea amado”. ¡Que ella interceda por nosotros en la difusión de la Adoración Eucaristica en todo el mundo!

Vinnie on Broadway's NOTES FROM THE HEART The volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul on Broadway would like to share with you our work that your donations and thrift shop support make possible while keeping confidential the identity of our brothers and sisters in need. The NUMBERS for the entire month of January 2016. We handed out food for five meals to 1684 people. We served 380 families with financial assistance which included vouchers for our thrift store in the amount of $24,161. Gross sales before expenses for the thrift shop was $22,147. Second Collection was $2700. We don't horde. The VOLUNTEERS numbering 94 logged 2,379 hours. For government accounting purposes a value of $22 an hour is given for one hour of volunteering. Gold is currently NOT $22 an ounce. Faithfully showing up with willing hands, a smile, and love in our hearts is what keeps service to those in need consistent. We strive to be the hands of Christ while on our spiritual journey. The FACES: A trained nursing assistant had been looking for work for two months and had depleted her savings. She had been a private duty aide for three years. Her patient died. Her heart was sad because she had come to love the patient. We were one of the agencies that assisted her. She found a good job in a medical office during the 3rd month. She now donates to us when able so we can continue to aide people temporarily in need. A mother of three fled an abusive relationship in the big city and was at a local shelter. Things were looking up. Kids liked the smaller school and she had a job lined up, but it entailed using her car. The car was being repossessed. We help with part of the payment and a volunteer privately paid the rest. A single mom came into the store looking for an outfit to wear to go on her first night out in many years. Budget was very tight. She finally found a pair of pants on sale for $1, a top from the 50-cent rack, and a $2 pair of sandals. A volunteer gave her one of her "Vinnie Bucks" to buy earrings and a bracelet set. She looked a whole lot better than the sweat pants and old Tee she shopped in. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK AT SVDP KERRVILLE WISH LIST: Blue tarps to cover our merchandise when it rains. The roof will get fixed in God's time. BooksToBorrow from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church, near the bell tower door. We are currently featuring books for Lenten meditation. Mary Foley offers us a look at 40 Day Journey with Julian of Norwich, assembled by Lisa E. Dahill. Each day starts with a short writing from the Saint, followed by a Bible verse to meditate on, questions to ponder, and a psalm fragment. For those who want to do prayer journaling, this book also includes reflections for your journal. Each day’s writings end with prayers, broken into two sections. The first is prayers for Hope and Healing; the last is a prayer for that day. There is a section on hints for keeping a prayer journal. Also included is a short biography of St. Julian, which in itself is a great reason to check this book out. She is a fascinating person whose writings are the earliest work known to be written by a woman in English. From her writings, for day 7: Our Lord wants to have the soul truly converted to contemplation of him and of all his good works in general. For they are most good, and all his judgements are easy and sweet, bringing great rest the soul which is converted from contemplating blind (human) judgements to the judgements, lovely and sweet, of our Lord God...” DON’T FORGET—SAVE THE DATE!
