Share your bread. My family and the small community where I grew up showed to me how to
give. Giving is something we do without thinking. There is always an opportunity for us to
share anything that we have. And we are happy and fulfilled when we are able to give what we
have.
My Mom is my model. I always catch her giving a plate of her cooking to our neighbor. Even
if she does not have enough, she will give because she believes there is always enough for
everybody.
My Mom was a little pampered when she was young. I saw that from her pictures and heard
that from stories. I was doubtful though because I had not personally seen my Mom that way.
She was very simple but decent.
I realized later that she was never pompous when she became a mother. She learned to priori-
tize her family. Since then she had not bought anything expensive for herself except a couple of dresses that she used for
special occasions.
She is happy and she feels complete when she shares to others what she has.

Doing good work, according to the Gospel, is key to being salt and light of this world. The Gospel does not
specify any kind of good work. I think, it talks about all the good benefits that we can do to others and to oneself. While
it may vary to the personal level since each one has different capabilities, but anything that works for the good and for
the building up of God’s Kingdom is a good work.
The Psalm, for example, talks about doing justice. The world over, each faith tradition or social philosophy talks
about the same justice expressed in different forms; ours for example is expressed as ‘Do not do unto others what you
would not want others to do unto you”. Charity begets charity. Thus the imperative that the Prophet Isaiah issued to his
listeners is one good invitation: share your bread and your light will shine like the dawn and all the good things will
come upon you and God will bless you a hundredfold.
o0o
Sharing what we have is pretty common. We always give to charity, to the church, to anything that deserves a
little help. We share anything we have because we feel good and we fulfill a need.
Now this invitation to be salt and light is absolutely different from any common type of sharing. It is a sharing
that only cares about the other. It is a sharing that fulfills the need and happiness of the other. Nurturing. Building. But
the return is always peace of heart and unexplained joy. That is the peace and joy of God.
o0o
This weekend is commitment weekend for the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal. For the up-building of our Archdi-
ocese, Archbishop Sample knocks on the door of our hearts to help him attain the goals of evangelization, marriage and
family life, ministry formation, children and youth formation, catholic education, vocation to priesthood, diaconate and
religious life and the care for our elderly and retired and ailing presbyterate.
As members of one community, I am calling on you and banking on your generous hearts to share your bread to
help the archbishop.
By helping the archbishop in his apostolic work, I am confident that God will give all the rest. God will not for-
get you, too, for He rewards the generous heart.
Comparta su pan. Mi familia y la pequeña comunidad donde crecí me mostraron cómo dar. Dar es algo que
hacemos sin pensar. Siempre hay una oportunidad para compartir todo lo que tenemos. Y somos felices y cumplidos
cuando somos capaces de dar lo que tenemos.
Mi mamá es mi modelo. Siempre la recuerdo dando un plato de comida de su cocina a nuestro vecino. Incluso si
ella no tiene suficiente, ella dará porque cree que siempre hay suficiente para todo el mundo.
Mi mamá estaba un poco mimada cuando era joven. Lo vi de sus fotos y escuché eso de sus historias. Cualquiera
al ver las fotos pensaría en una mujer orgullosa . Ella era muy simple pero decente.
Me di cuenta más tarde que ella nunca fue presumida cuando se convirtió en una madre. Aprendió a priorizar a
Prayer Corner
Please keep all those who are in the military, or are ill or suffering in your prayers.
For those who are ill or homebound: Tom Barnes, Jeanette Duncan, Bob Worthington, Dick K., John H., Ryan Huber,
Gretta Aker, Brian Faligowski and those struggling with cancer and other illnesses or upcoming surgeries
We pray for peace throughout our entire world. We remember our family members and friends who are serving the
military: Michael Pennington, Mike Andre
If you would like to add the name of someone who is serving in the military, please call the office.
For the repose of the souls of all the faithful departed:
su familia. Desde entonces no había comprado nada caro para ella excepto un par de vestidos que utilizó para ocasiones
especiales.
Ella es feliz y se siente completa cuando comparte con otros lo que tiene.

Hacer un buen trabajo, según el Evangelio, es clave para ser sal y luz de este mundo. El Evangelio no especifica
ningún tipo de buen trabajo. Habla de todos los buenos beneficios que podemos hacer a los demás y a nosotros mismos.
Aunque puede variar al nivel personal ya que cada uno tiene diferentes capacidades, pero cualquier cosa que funcione
para el bien y para la edificación del Reino de Dios es una buena obra.
El Salmo, por ejemplo, habla de hacer justicia. En el mundo entero, cada tradición de fe o filosofía social habla
de la misma justicia expresada en diferentes formas; El nuestro por ejemplo se expresa como "No hagas a otros lo que no
querrías que otros te hicieran". La caridad engendra la caridad. Así, el imperativo que el Profeta Isaías emitió a sus
oyentes es una buena invitación: comparten su pan y su luz brillará como el amanecer y todas las cosas buenas vendrán
sobre ustedes y Dios los bendecirá cien veces más.
o0o
Compartir lo que tenemos es bastante común. Siempre damos a la caridad, a la iglesia, a todo lo que merece un
poco de ayuda. Compartimos todo lo que tenemos porque nos sentimos bien y cumplimos una necesidad.
Ahora esta invitación a ser sal y luz es absolutamente diferente de cualquier tipo común de compartir. Es un
compartir que sólo se preocupa por el otro. Es un compartir que satisface la necesidad y la felicidad del otro. Nutrir y
Edificar. Pero el pago por estas acciones es siempre paz de corazón y una alegría inexplicable. Esa es la paz y la alegría
de Dios.
o0o
Este fin de semana es un fin de semana de compromiso para la Apelación Católica del Arzobispo. Para la
construcción de nuestra Arquidiócesis, el Arzobispo llama a la puerta de nuestros corazones para ayudarlo a alcanzar los
objetivos de evangelización, matrimonio y vida familiar, formación ministerial, formación de niños y jóvenes, educación
católica, vocación sacerdotal, diaconado y religioso La vida y el cuidado de nuestros ancianos y jubilados y enfermos del
presbiteriado.
Como miembros de una comunidad, les estoy invitando a ustedes y a sus generosos corazones a compartir su
pan para ayudar al arzobispo.
Al ayudar al arzobispo en su trabajo apostólico, estoy seguro de que Dios te recompensara . Dios no te olvidará porque
él recompensa al corazón generoso.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Our Lady of Lourdes, France – Feast –Feb 11 “At Lourdes, even Mary has stepped aside to make way for Christ. There is no place in the world where Christ in the Eucharist is more glorified. The procession of the Eucharist by candlelight is the high point of each day. Here the pilgrims are joined in faith, and all the countries of the world are united as the procession winds from the grotto to show that Jesus is the Gift of the Virgin Mary. Now she stands at the side of her Son so that He may console.” (Rev Msgr. John F. Davis) Our Lady of Lourdes, please pray for all who are sick and who are in need of healing of body, mind, and spirit. Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24 hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend as much or as little time as you can. Thank you for offering our Lord this special hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks.
