entering self-imposed exile. Rather, Jesus is doing as he would later instruct his Apostles to do – shaking the dust of Je-rusalem from his feet, because the people there were too hos-tile to the Gospel and to the one sent by God to preach it. Matthew makes it clear that Je-sus has come to fulfill the prophecy announced in the first reading – to bring salvation to the Gentiles. We also hear Jesus speak the essence of his mission and message: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. These are the same words spoken by John the Bap-tist to prepare the way for Jesus and the saving mission Jesus was sent to accomplish.

Fr. Tad

Dear Parishioners, Isaiah was living in an age of darkness, following a civil war among the sons of Solomon that divided the people of Israel into two kingdoms: The northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This dark-ness continued with the conquest and exile of the north-ern kingdom by the Assyrians. While occupied and in exile, the Israelites of the northern kingdom intermarried with the Gentiles and participated in their customs. This further alienated them from their southern kinspeople, who considered their behavior un-holy and in violation of the Mosaic Law. Isaiah longed for a new king who would bring heal-ing and reunite the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This would also have the effect of bringing the Twelve Tribes of Israel back together. Taking the longer view, Isaiah is prepar-ing the children of God for the coming of the King of Kings, one who would save both Jew and Gentile. In Christ, the people who walked in darkness would see a great light. Isaiah hoped for an end to di-vision and discord, as did Paul the Apostle in writing to the Corinthians about the deep-seated divisions tearing apart their fragile and newly formed Christian community. Corinth was a Greek port city – people came there from all over the world. It was no small feat for Paul and Barnabas to bring these disparate people from so many varied walks of life together under the umbrel-la of the Gospel. Now, having been baptized, many were slid-ing into the superstitions and prejudices of their previous way of life. Paul reminds them that they are all one in Christ Je-sus. In today’s reading from the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus appears to take on the appearance of a man fleeing justice following news of the arrest of his cousin, John the Baptist. But Jesus does not go into the Sa-maritan towns of the north as a means of hiding out or

St. Marianne Cope

Saint Marianne Cope, O.S.F. is also known as Saint Marianne of Molo-ka'i. She was born in Germany on January 23, 1838 and spent much of her life working in Ha-

wai'i working with lepers on the island of Moloka'I By 1883, Cope had become the Superior General of her congrega on. It was at this me she received a plea for help from leprosy sufferers in Hawaii. King Kalakaua himself

sent the le er asking for aid in trea ng pa ents who were isolated on the island of Moloka'i. The King had already been declined by more than 50 other religious ins tutes. Once arrived, Mother Marianne managed a hospital on the island of O'ahu, where vic ms of leprosy were sent for triage. The most severe pa ents werHer tenure at Malulani hospital did not last as she was soon called back to O'ahu to deal with claims of abuse from the government-appointed administrator there. Upon arrival and following an ini al inves ga on, Moth-er Marianne demanded that he resign or she would leave. The government dismissed the administrator and gave her full management of the hospital there. Although Mother Marianne was ge ng older, he workload only seemed to increase. Soon, she was responsible for or-phans of women who had contracted the disease as well as clergy who had contracted the disease while working with lep-ers.e sent to the island of Moloka'i. Eventually, Mother Marianne's work became a burden on her frail body and she was confined to a wheelchair. Despite this limita on, she con nued to work relessly. Many no ced that despite all her years of work she never contracted leprosy herself, which many regarded as a miracle in itself. Mother Marianne passed away on August 9, 1918 and was buried at Bishop Home. In the years following her death, sev-eral miracles were reported in her name. In 1993, a woman was miraculously cured a er mul ple organ failure following prayers to Mother Marianne. The woman's subsequent recov-ery was cer fied by the Church and Mother Marianne was beau fied by Pope Benedict XVI on May 14, 2005.

WCEA-WASC SELF STUDY Our school's Self Study has been completed and a copy submitted to the WCEA visiting committee chairperson. The goals we will focus on are the following: Teachers will use Student Learning checklists across all grade levels, 100% implemen-tation of the Station Rotation Model during math classes (K-8), and implementation of our Language Arts In-Depth study. This action plan will be an im-portant guiding document for us over the next six years.

Sunday Children’s “Finding God” Continuous Faith Formation Program

Religious Education here at Saint Clare’s is more than just a Sacramental preparation. Saint Clare, pray for us!

Coming to Mass It is important to emphasize that we start getting ready for Mass before we step into the church. When we are invited to a birthday celebration of a dear friend, what do we do? We start preparing beforehand because we want to fully participate in the celebration. That applies to any other event that we decide to go, if it is a sport event we check all the statistics available of each team, some will paint their faces with the colors of their teams and make sure their family and friends know they are going to the game and invite all of them to come. The problem with the Mass is that we do not nec-essarily think about our full and conscious participation in it, therefore we do not prepare for it. Fr. Goda came last Tuesday and help us to discover or rediscover- depending on where our understanding of the Mass was- the meaning and purpose behind pray-ers, gestures, postures, responses and symbol in the Mass. After this class the hope is that we come to the church ready to participate fully and be aware of the love and the nourishment we receive. Now, we have the opportunity to share this new under-standing with our family, friends and the community. Thank you Fr. Goda for you guidance, and to all of you for making the time to come! Please keep in your prayers all those who are re-ceiving sacraments this Spring. Catechetical Office: Paty Rascon 408.248.7786 X 102 [email protected]

KNIGHTS CORNER You are probably thinking only the smartest people join the Knights. Well let me dispel that rumor right now. The Knight that recruited me, asked me, “How do you stop a fish from smell-ing?” When I said I didn’t know he

said, “You cut off its nose!” Come join the Knights you’re certainly as smart as him.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Saints And Special Observances

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children; St. Vincent; St. Marianne Cope Tuesday: St. Francis de Sales Wednesday: The Conversion of St. Paul; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity ends Thursday: Ss. Timothy and Titus Friday: St. Angela Merici Saturday: St. Thomas Aquinas; Chinese New Year 4715

LIBERATION AND REFORM While you might have to reach for an atlas to deter-mine that Isaiah is speaking about Galilee, today’s first reading (part of which was read at Christmas) is pro-phetic of Jesus’ future ministry in that province. The light that brings salvation and rejoicing is, ultimately, Christ. Liberation is the theme: liberation from both ig-norance (“darkness”) and sin (the “yoke”). As Isaiah identifies a place, so Paul describes an attitude: the attitude that develops, even among good people, of equating their own will with the common good. This always brings dissension, and so it has done in Corinth. Paul will not allow this; we are all members of “Christ’s party.” The gospel is not to divide us. Matthew quotes from Isaiah in today’s Gospel, pre-senting Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecies. The theme is “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). To spread this message, Jesus begins to select disciples, four of whom we meet today: Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Outreach to

Homeless Guests at Village House -

Volunteers Needed

During Advent, the Social Justice Committee adver-tised about an upcoming opportunity to help homeless people in our community. We are now looking for vol-unteers! St. Clare Parish is helping St. Martin of Tours Parish in San Jose host 15 homeless guests in their church for the month of February. There is a great need for volunteers as overnight hosts as well as intake vol-unteers/greeters, volunteers to prepare and serve food, and medical volunteers. To give you a sense of the scale of the need, there are over 1,000 volunteer spots for the month. So, consider signing up and encouraging a friend or fellow parishioner to join you in the volun-teering. What a great way to serve others in desperate need while also building community. To sign up to help, St. Martin's has a website that gives an overview of the program (called Village House), the volunteer needs and dates, and the re-quirements (i.e. attend a training session, fingerprinting, etc.). You can sign up here and get on to their schedule at a time that is convenient for you: https://www.smvillagehouse.org/.Thank you for helping our sisters and brothers in need.

Boletim Paroquial Português Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda

No início deste tempo litúrgico a que chamamos de comum ou de ordinário o Profeta Isaías traz-nos de novo algo que nos foi revelado na Missa de Natal: “O povo que andava nas trevas viu uma grande luz, para aqueles que habitavam nas sombras da morte uma luz se levantou”. Desta forma a luz que vamos seguir durante esse tempo litúrgico é Jesus Cristo que hoje se fala do início da Sua vida pública. O Evangelho de hoje nos revela como os discípulos de João Baptista deixaram-no para seguir o Cordeiro de Deus que é a luz do mundo. A Pedro (Simão) e seu irmão André que lançvam as redes deixaram essas e ao convite de Jesus de pescadores de peixe tornaram-se percadores de homens. A Luz que se nos apresenta no Evangelho de hoje vem da Palavra de Deus e lança-nos o mesmo convite para as nossas vidas: vem e segue-Me porque eu tenho a resposta para as tuas ansiedades; porque Eu sei preencher as lacunas das vossas vidas, porque quando Me dás os vossos corações Eu vos dou tranquilidade e paz. É adentro dessa mensagem que devemos tomar como objectivo neste tempo que de ordinário não tem nada mas que se torna extraordinário se levamos a sério a Palavra de Deus e a tornarmos parte integrante das nossas vidas. Se é Tempo Comum, assim também façamos deste tempo espaço de enriquecimento com os momentos que passamos de paz, tranquilidade, amisade, espírito de unidade e fraternidade etc. Viremo-nos sempre para a Luz sempre que as sombras da morte e do pecado nos invadirem o coração, porque é na luz que está a resposta para os anseios de amor e paz que Deus nos dá.

Eleições do Conselho Paroquial Português

Esta tarde e pelas 3 horas da tarde terá lugar no salão pequeno desta paróquia para eleger um novo Conselho Paroquial. Para os membros desta comunidade que têem esta missa em português como algo importante nas suas vidas, devem estar presentes e conscientemente elegerem um novo conselho para gerir, administrar e planear as actividades da Comunidade Portuguesa nesta paróquia. Dá sempre trabalho é algo mais que se adiciona na vida as idades vão ficando avançadas tudo isto é importante e válido mas o objectivo de dar continuidade á presença Portuguesa nesta paróquia merece todo o nosso empenho e sacrifício. Por sermos uma comunidade madura mais se exige de nós mesmos e nem sempre o trabalho dos membros do Conselho não é aprecido pelos membros da Comunidade. Qunado for assim lembrem-se que é o Espírito Santo que nos anima e nos dá força para se continuar a trabalhar para a unidade e amisade fraterna desta comunidade que desde 1973 tem marcado presença nesta paróquia e contribuido grandemente com a nossa cultura e nossos talentos. Tudo isto está em causa e a responsabilidade é de todos.

Um Santo e Alegre Domingo para todos!

Boletín Parroquial Español Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe Los retablos de metal son famosos en muchas partes de Latinoamérica. Estos pequeños retablos o laminitas contie-nen imágenes de Cristo, la Santísima Trinidad, María, los ángeles u otro santo/a pintados sobre lámina, madera u otro material para decorar los altares familiares de los ho-gares hispanos. Aunque los retablos no siempre siguen las normas del arte cristiano, los retablos latinoamericanos son bellos ejemplos de la mezcla de culturas amerindias, euro-peas y africanas. Pero no todos los retablos son pequeños. En muchas iglesias coloniales de Latinoamérica se en-cuentran retablos gigantescos hechos de mármol o made-ra, cubiertos de oro y joyas que recuerdan los grandes re-tablos europeos, pero con el color y folclor latinoamericano. Originalmente, los retablos europeos eran pequeños y mó-viles, de tal manera que se podían colocar sobre un altar para la celebración de la Misa. Cuando la Iglesia fue cons-truyendo sus propios templos, los retablos empezaron a formar parte de la decoración de los santuarios y tomaron dimensiones impresionantes. Los retablos pequeños pasa-ron a los hogares de los fieles, quienes quieren tener a Cristo y sus santos como parte de su diario vivir. — Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.
