Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Parishioners,
Watching For The Messiah
Today’s Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and following Jesus
sounds so simple and casual, it’s easy to miss the significant acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there is the Lamb of God.” John’s faith in
Jesus is evident, so evident that John’s disciples immediately leave his side to follow this
Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time
with him, and are quick to spread the good news of their discovery: “We have found
the Messiah.”
It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages
of faithful people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the
Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly everyone among the Jewish
people was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our own society watches for
signs of the presence of the Messiah today?
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras
Readings For Next Sunday Jan 25
First Reading — The Ninevites turn from their evil way
in response to Jonah’s message (Jonah 3:1-5, 10).
Psalm — Teach me your ways, O Lord (Psalm 25).
Second Reading — The world in its present form is passing away (1 Corinthians 7:29-31).
Gospel — Jesus proclaims, “Repent, and believe in the
gospel.” The new disciples abandon their nets and follow him (Mark 1:14-20).
Together, as one family of God we con nue to build the Kingdom
of God here in South Florida. Because of you and your stewardship through the Archbishops Chari es and Development Drive
(ABCD), in the past year alone, you are helping to train the largest
group of seminarians the Archdiocese has enjoyed in many years;
through ABCD you are assis ng our most needy Catholic elementary and high schools, and you are con nuing to support the
evangeliza on efforts within our migrant community in south
Date. Thanks to your support of ABCD our Respect Life ministry
con nues to grow, and we con nue to minister to the seafarers
and at the airports. These are extraordinary accomplishments-all
made possible because of you!
If you have not already responded to the le er mailed to you by
Archbishop Thomas Wenski, please take me to consider your
pledge for this year. Your faithful generous par cipa on in the
ABCD flows from God’s many blessings to you and to those you
hold dear. We ask for your con nued support and invite you to

Estimados Feligreses
En Búsqueda Del Mesías
El relato del Evangelio de hoy en el que Juan y sus discípulos ven y siguen a
Jesús, suena tan sencillo e informal, que fácilmente pasan desapercibidos los importantes actos de fe que ocurren.
Juan señala a Jesús: “Miren”, les dice, “este es el Cordero de Dios”. La fe de
Juan en Jesús es evidente, tan evidente que los discípulos de Juan inmediatamente se
van de su lado y siguen a Jesús.
Los dos discípulos a su vez hacen un acto de fe. Ellos siguen a Jesús, pasan
tiempo con él, y no demoran en compartir la buena nueva de su descubrimiento:
“Hemos encontrado al Mesías”.
Es fácil olvidar que las expectativas de generaciones, las esperanzas de muchos siglos de fieles se estaban cumpliendo en estos sencillos actos de fe. El Cordero
de Dios, el Mesías, anunciado por los profetas, finalmente había llegado. Prácticamente todo el mundo en el pueblo judío estaba a la búsqueda del Mesías en esa época; ¿quién de nuestra sociedad busca señales de la presencia del Mesías hoy día?
