LITURGY OF THE DAY Today we continue hearing about the first days Jesus spent with his disciples, healing those who are ill or possessed by demons. When he cures Simon Peter’s mother-in-law, she im-mediately rises and serves her guests. She may

not realize it, but she is providing an example to her son-in-law and his companions. She is showing what it means to be a disci-ple of Jesus. The call to be Jesus’ disciple is the call to serve.

LITURGIA DEL DÍA Hoy seguimos escuchando acerca de los primeros días que Jesús pasó con sus discípulos, curando a todos los enfermos o los poseídos por demonios. Cuando cura a la suegra de Simón Ped-ro, ella inmediatamente se levanta y comienza a servir a sus in-vitados. Puede que ella no se diera cuenta,pero en realidad les estaba dando un ejemplo a su yerno y sus compañeros. Ella les demuestra lo que es ser discípulo de Jesús. El llamado a ser discípulo de Jesús es un llamado a servir.

Question of the Week What does it mean to be a disciple? How do I serve God and serve others? Pregunta de la Semana ¿Qué significa ser un discípulo? ¿Cómo puedo servir a Dios y a los demás?

Please pray for the sick and in need of healing graces… Pauilie Canedo Robert P.

Today’s ac-count shows some of the strain or adjust-ment of his new life of preaching the reign of God, healing the sick, and cast-ing out demons. . With the self-sacrificing example he gave until the end of his earthly life, he tells his followers that this is his whole purpose. Through Mark, he is also telling the early church, and he is telling us, that this is our purpose, our vocation: to be tireless in our pur-suit of proclaiming the Good News, and in bringing the healing, reconciling touch of Christ to the world.

El relato de hoy muestra parte de la tensión y los cambios de su nueva vida que consis-tía en predicar el Reino de Dios, curar a los enfermos y expul-sar a los demonios. Con la misma entrega ejemplar que de-mostró hasta el final de su vida en la tierra, les dice a sus se-guidores que éste es su propósito. Por medio de Marcos, tam-bién le dice a la nueva iglesia y nos dice a nosotros que éste es nuestro propósito, nuestra vocación: ser incansables en nues-tra lucha por proclamar la Buena Nueva y llevar el toque cu-rador y reconciliador de Cristo al mundo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hoy celebramos la Jornada Mundial de la Vida Consagrada, que tiene lugar por primera vez el 2 de febre-ro de 1997, y tiene como objetivo ayudar a toda la Iglesia a valorar cada vez más el testimonio de quienes han elegido seguir a Cristo de cerca mediante la práctica de los consejos evangélicos y, al mismo tiempo, quiere ser para las personas consagradas una ocasión propicia para renovar los propósitos y reavivar los sentimientos que deben inspirar su entrega al Señor La misión de la vida consagrada en el presente y en el futuro de la Iglesia, en el tercer milenio, no se refiere sólo a quienes han recibido este especial carisma, sino a toda la comunidad cristiana. En la exhortación apostólica post-sinodal Vita consecrata, publicada en 1996 por Juan Pablo II, escribía: "En realidad, la vida consagrada está en el corazón mismo de la Iglesia

como elemento decisivo para su misión, ya que «indica la naturaleza íntima de la vocación cristiana» y la aspiración de toda la Igle-sia Esposa hacia la unión con el único Esposo" (n. 3). A las personas consagradas, pues, quisiera repetir la invitación a mirar el fu-turo con esperanza, contando con la fidelidad de Dios y el poder de su gracia, capaz de obrar siempre nuevas maravillas: "¡Vosotros no solamente tenéis una historia gloriosa para recordar y contar, sino una gran historia que construir! Poned los ojos en el futuro, hacia el que el Espíritu os impulsa para seguir haciendo con vosotros grandes cosas" (ib., 110). (©Es.Catholic.net)
