THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
The flowers on the altar this weekend were
sponsored by the O’Riordan Family for a Special
Intention.
If you would like to sponsor flowers on the altar
in memory of loved ones, living or deceased, please
print your name, phone number, and the occasion or loved one
you wish to remember on a purple Flower Contribution
envelope, which you will find in the church vestibule. Minimum
contribution for two vases on the main altar is $75. Please
drop off your envelope in the collection basket, or call the
parish office, 301-229-7933, and your request will be posted
in the weekly bulletin.
We can only honor one individual request per weekend, so
please bear in mind that, sometimes, the date you require may
already be taken. Also, for your information, we will not be
able to accept requests for the sponsoring of flowers on
specific liturgical dates.
If your New Year's Intentions include a weekend prayer group
or if you're just open to the idea - the new St. Bart's
Saturday Morning Women's Prayer Group meets 1st and 3rd
Saturday mornings 8:30 to 10:30 at Kathleen Goldsmith's
house, 8113 Hamilton Spring Road, Bethesda. To pray. Read.

used at each Mass, are laundered by a group of women in the

experiencing true happiness and growing into the best-version
of ourselves by simply doing and loving the good things of
life! Youth between 5th grade and 10th grade are always
welcome! Thought of the week: A wasted life is a life lived
without worshiping God. A life well-lived is a life spent in his
presence and offered for His glory. -from Zealous

ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH
BETHESDA, MD
TERCER DOMINGO ORDINARIO
25 DE ENERO DE 2015
Jesús comienza su predicación diciendo: “Convertíos
porque está cerca el Reino de los cielos”. Necesitamos
convertirnos, dejando el pecado mortal como condición
para ser partícipes del Reino. Necesitamos vivir en
tensión de conversión tratando de superar el pecado
venial y los afectos desordenados para perfeccionar
nuestra vida –santificarnos- como hijos del Reino. Jesús
busca colaboradores que continúen la predicación del
Reino y la llamada a la conversión por los caminos del
mundo y a través de los tiempos. Llamó a Simón Pedro y
a Andrés, a Santiago y a Juan que “inmediatamente
dejaron la barca y a su padre y lo siguieron.” Jesús sigue
buscando
colaboradores:
obispos,
sacerdotes,
consagrados, laicos... cada uno según el don de la
vocación recibida. Jesús nos sigue llamando a cada uno
de nosotros ¿Cómo voy a responder?
