As often as I look upon the cross, so often will I forgive with all my heart.” HOW TO FORGIVE Tuesday, February 2, 2016 In our Catholic Christian tradition, we are well aware of the frequent call of Jesus to forgive our enemies and of his own prayer of forgiveness for those who crucified him. In the Lord's Prayer we are clearly challenged to be open to receiving God's loving forgiveness and, in turn, offering that forgiveness to ourselves and to others. Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and the While we believe God's forgiveness is unconditional, constant and always Day for Consecrated Life available to us, we also need to realize that our own coming to forgiveness in- volves several stages as we let go and work through hurts, anger, resentments Jubilee for Consecrated Life and the and desire for revenge. However, as we are healed, we are then able to accept closing of the closing of the Year for God's merciful forgiveness and, in turn, offer such forgiveness to ourselves and Consecrated Life. others. To be continued... January 31, 2016 FROM FR. PATRICK’S DESK 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year “C” “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” Last week I read a story posted on a friend’s Facebook page titled “Who is packing your parachute?” It is about an Indian Air Commodore Vishal who was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many. After five years, one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said "You're Captain Vishal! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!" "How in the world did you know that?" asked Vishal. "I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied. Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if the parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn’t be here today. Vishal couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker" So friends, who is packing your parachute? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. We need many kinds of parachutes when our plane is shot down – we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute. We call on all these supports before reaching safety. Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank someone, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. No matter what life presents to us, we must always remember that we live by His grace. Jeremiah was a good man who was called by God to preach to a hard headed people. Knowing that the road Jeremiah would walk in his ministry would not be an easy one, God assures Jeremiah that even before he was formed in the womb, he was known by God and set apart for divine purposes. Jeremiah was a man on fire with God’s love. Jeremiah loves his people Israel and for this reason he could not stop at anything in telling them the truth. To his greatest amazement, he and his message were rejected by Israel to the extent of a demand for his life. Coming to realize that his people Israel, though chosen by God were million miles away from the truth, Jeremiah became so disappointed to the extent of regretting to answer God’s call. It was not until the prophet Jeremiah realized that his call to prophesy was preordained for him, did he begin to find peace in his tumultuous life. Nature is ordered for the glory of God. No one is an accident in nature. There is a mission assigned to each and every one us. It could be as challenging as that given to Jeremiah or it could be as simple as being able to make one face to smile. No matter what it is, we are in one way or the other part of God’s plan for the salvation of the world. Like Vidal, the Indian Air Commodore, God has from time immemorial prepared a parachute for each and every one of us and he uses mere mortals like you and I to help others in packing their parachute for the journey. Coming to know this truth is nothing but a clarion call to be humble. Most of our achievements in life are not simply the fruit of an individual effort. There is always a Trinitarian dimension to every great achievement – it has a divine, communal and personal dimension. Knowing that it was God who knew us and formed us and has called us to become partners in progress with Him becomes the bedrock of our existence in the world. When everything else around us does not make sense, knowing that I am part of God’s plan could give one the basic grounding needed to smile again. Human life on earth cannot become meaningful unless it is grounded on this basic truth. This is a revealed truth that one will never get from one’s parents or culture because it was only God who knew us before we were born. No one else can know us that well. It was God who formed each one of us in our mother’s womb and called us to a life of purpose and meaning. God’s plan is not limited by culture or structure. No wonder the poor widow of Zarephath in the land of Sidon and poor leper Naaman from Syria were highly favored in a land where so many prided themselves for their holiness and noble birth. It is still the same spirit of pride which inspired the Jews to attempt to hurl Jesus headlong down the hill that motivates those who today are willing to kill others in order to protect their manmade structures and securities. The poverty and violence we see in the world today is not so much an accident in nature as it is the consequence of human failure to pack someone’s parachute. Authentic Christian existence in the world must be grounded on love. Christians need to go beyond the promotion of a perfect observance of laws and the protection of holy structures. Christian life needs to be lived within the ambience of mercy, an uncharted territory where all structures are destroyed and the heart rules the head. In this jubilee year of mercy, Christians must avoid making a career out of a flamboyant call for mercy. Our corporal and spiritual works shall remain undone until the least member of God’s family – all the widows and lepers are mercifully released from bondage, and our message and all unjust structures enculturated and renewed on the altar of divine mercy. All Souls Catholic Church January 31, 2016 P ARISH N EWS Are You Being Called to be a Priest?

En este breve pasaje, ha consignado ideales sobre el amor que se han mantenido firmes en el transcurso de los siglos. A veces pensamos que porque estos son sólo ideales a los que uno aspira, estamos libres de no practicarlos en nuestra vida diaria. Lo que Pablo estaba escribiendo era una carta a sus amigos, dándoles buenos consejos sobre lo que significaba – y todavía significa– vivir en el amor, día a día, en seguimiento de Cristo. Encontramos en las palabras a sus amigos una ampliación del gran mandamiento de Jesús de amar a Dios y al prójimo. Hoy en día escuchamos cómo este amor debe expresarse en nuestras acciones, y cómo debe regir nuestras relaciones con los demás. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Dios destina a Jeremías (Jeremías 1:4-5, 17-19). Salmo — Señor, tú eres mi esperanza (Salmo 71 [70]). Segunda lectura — El amor con todas sus muchas facetas es la más importante de las virtudes (1 Corintios 12:31 — 13:13 [13:4-13]). Evangelio — Cuando Jesús reclama que su misión salvífica es para todos los pueblos (Lucas 4:21-30).

Kik Messenger y los peligros de mensajes anónimos Sitios de redes sociales están disponibles a cualquiera con una conexión de Internet (computadora, teléfono, tableta). Sus hijos pueden estar compartiendo sus vidas con completos extraños y los padres de familia deben estar al tanto de los sitios que ellos usan, lo que comparten y quiénes son sus amistades. La aplicación móvil Kik, es considerada como el sitio más peligroso para depredadores de Internet porque los usuarios pueden enviar mensajes a cualquiera con un teléfono celular, incluyendo niños pequeños. Kik no tiene opciones para control de los padres de familia, dejando a los niños expuestos a toda la Web. Para aprender más sobre esta aplicación en el artículo de Virtus® “Mobile App Danger—Kik Messenger” (Peligro de la aplicación móvil Kik Messenger) envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected]. 1. El estilo general: simbólico La imagen evidentemente no pretende ser una representación literal de Jesús (el volumen y los ángulos son todos estilizados, más que realistas). El estilo es profundamente simbólico, poético y metafórico. Esta es una elección consciente de la artista. Cada vez que tratamos de decir algo muy profundo, el lenguaje científico es insuficiente. Es necesaria la poesía. Lo mismo se aplica aquí: un enfoque más simbólico permite al artista transmitir realidades que van más allá de lo que cualquier representación realista podría aspirar a capturar. Su naturaleza simbólica implica un poco más de trabajo por nuestra parte. Su significado no es necesariamente tan claro a primera vista (como tantas veces ocurre en nuestro encuentro diario con Dios, ya sea en nuestra vida diaria, o en la liturgia). Acá la comprensión de la intención del autor es la clave. ¿Por qué utiliza ciertas formas y colores? Echemos un vistazo. TALLERES DE ORACION Y VIDA Te invitamos, junto con Jesús, a vivificar tu fe y a profundizar la calidad de tu oración...recuperar el encanto de Dios y la alegría de vivir...sanar heridas y recuerdos dolorosos. Son quince sesiones, una por semana. ES GRATIS! Empezaremos el Lunes 1 de febrero de 7-9pm en el salón #8 de la parroquia aquí en All Souls.
