T ’ R First Reading — God has restored the land, and brought great joy to the people (Isaiah 8:23 — 9:3). Psalm — The Lord is my light and my salvation (Psalm 27). Second Reading — Paul exhorts the believers at Corinth: As there is one Christ, so too must there be no divisions among you (1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17). Gospel — After calling his first disciples, Jesus goes throughout Galilee (Matthew 4:12-23 [12-17]).

BEAUTY AND TRUTH. Today the poetry of Isaiah washes over us with stunning beauty: Anguish has taken wing, dispelled is darkness: for there is no gloom where but now there was distress. Isaiah’s lines enchant us with their music as well as with their meaning. Haven’t we all felt burdened by gloom and distress? Don’t we all long for an end to darkness? Isaiah promises that God’s majestic strength crushes our anguish, blowing away our troubles on a breeze. These words are lovely, but what do they mean for us really, when our day-to-day struggles are so real? How can it be true that darkness is dispelled, when so many of us suffer terribly? DAILY DOSES OF LIGHT. Jesus assures us: “God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5b). But how, exactly, does God’s light overcome the darkness that we still experience? Saint Paul shows us how: through the cross. Today’s reading from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians implores Jesus’ followers to get along with one another, to “be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.” We believe that two thousand years ago, Jesus saved the world and destroyed darkness; but until Jesus comes again, we must unite as the Body of Christ to continue pushing back the gloom of sin and division. As followers of Jesus, we work against these evils in simple ways. We intentionally attempt genuine conversation with a person we find irritating; we ignore gossip and refuse to talk behind someone’s back; we befriend an awkward or needy individual. These daily doses of light bring hope to our world, which is both redeemed and not yet finished. Jesus wants our help. Like Peter, James, and John in today’s Gospel, we are called by Christ to participate in salvation. Jesus chooses us, calls us, and invites us to accompany him—and imitate him—as we live in, and wait for, the Light of the World.

January 27

Born in Northern Italy, orphaned in childhood, Angela Merici faced a society in which education was largely the privilege of wealthy young men and based primarily in monastic schools.

This reality shaped Angela’s insightful conviction that society’s disorder was caused by disorder in the home, and a lack of model Christian mothers the result of neglecting the education of young women. Transform the Christian family by placing an educated wife and mother at its heart, Angela believed, and the whole world would be renewed in Christ! So she gathered a small group of unmarried women, many of them Franciscan Tertiaries (lay affiliates) like herself, and set out to educate poor girls, free of charge, in their homes. She and her band of teachers called themselves companions, pioneering a new form of non-cloistered religious life for women, bearing witness to evangelical simplicity in the midst of the world, not as a formal “order” but as the Company (compagnia) of Saint Ursula. Known today as the Ursulines, Angela Merici’s spiritual daughters continue serving the Church and society in a rich diversity of ministries. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BELLEZA Y VERDAD. Hoy la poesía de Isaías nos lava con una belleza impresionante: el sufrimiento se ha ido, disipado en la oscuridad: ya no hay tristeza ahora donde hubo dolor. Estas palabras de Isaías nos encantan con su música y también con su significado. ¿Acaso no nos hemos sentido cargados de tristeza y dolor? ¿No llegamos anhelar el fin de la oscuridad? Isaías promete que la fuerza majestuosa de Dios derrota nuestra angustia, haciendo volar nuestros problemas en una brisa. Estas palabras son agradables, pero ¿qué significan para nosotros verdaderamente, cuando nuestras dificultades del día a día son reales? ¿Cómo puede ser verdad que la oscuridad se desvanece, cuando muchos de nosotros sufrimos terriblemente? DOSIS DIARIAS DE LUZ. Jesús nos asegura: “Dios es luz y no hay en él oscuridad alguna” (1 Juan 1:5b). Pero cómo, exactamente, ¿la luz de Dios vence la oscuridad que todavía experimentamos? San Pablo nos muestra cómo: por medio de la cruz. La lectura de hoy de la primera carta de san Pablo a los corintios implora a los seguidores de Jesús a llevarse bien entre ellos, “conserven la armonía en el pensar y en el sentir”. Creemos que hace dos mil años, Jesús salvó al mundo y destruyó la oscuridad; pero hasta que Jesús vuelva otra vez, debemos unirnos como el cuerpo de Cristo para continuar rechazar la oscuridad del pecado y la división. Como seguidores de Jesús, nos empleamos en contra de estos males en formas sencillas. Deliberadamente intentamos conversaciones genuinas con una persona que nos parece fastidiosa; ignoramos el chisme y rehusamos hablar a las espaldas de alguien; nos hacemos amigo de una persona difícil y necesitada. Estas dosis diarias de luz nos traen esperanza a nuestro mundo, el cual es tanto a la vez redimido, pero no terminado. Jesús quiere nuestra ayuda. Como Pedro, Santiago y Juan en el Evangelio de hoy, estamos llamados por Cristo a participar en la salvación. Jesús nos elige, nos llama y nos invita a acompañarlo, y a imitarlo, en donde vivamos, y esperamos por la Luz del Mundo.

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario L H Primera lectura — El Señor glorificó el distrito de los gentiles (Isaías 8:23 — 9:3). Salmo — El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación (Salmo 27 [26]). Segunda lectura — Les ruego que se pongan de acuerdo, que no haya divisiones entre ustedes (1 Corintios 1:10-13, 17). Evangelio — Jesús les decía: “Cambien su vida y su corazón” (Mateo 4:12-23 [12-17]). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical © 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española. Usado con permiso.

SANTOS TIMOTEO Y TITO (Siglo I)

26 de enero

Timoteo y Tito fueron colaboradores cercanos del apóstol Pablo. Timoteo es descrito por Pablo como un “hombre de Dios” a quien le pide que no se abochorne de ser joven y que no permita que alguien lo desprecie por ser un líder joven. Asimismo, fue su compañero apostólico en la evangelización de Tesalónica, Corinto y Éfeso. De esta última comunidad fue su obispo y ahí tuvo como encargo organizar la comunidad y sus ministerios. Fue testigo del martirio de Pablo y, posteriormente, él mismo sufrió el martirio. Tito fue convertido al cristianismo por el mismo Pablo. Es Pablo quien destaca en Tito las cualidades de artífice de la paz, administrador, mediador en los conflictos y de gran capacidad para organizar las comunidades nacientes que enfrentaban el acecho de la falsa doctrina. Tito murió, según las fuentes a los 93 años. Pablo escribe a ambos, en sus cartas pastorales, respecto a las cualidades que ellos, como obispos, deben tener. Asimismo, recorre uno a uno los ministerios de la Iglesia y los comportamientos que deben ser observados por los miembros de la comunidad. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Ármate de valor y fortaleza y en el Señor confía.

— Salmo 27 (26):14

ALEGRÍA, ESTUDIO Y PIEDAD

Para ser bueno basta practicar tres cosas y todo te resultará a pedir de boca. ¿Cuáles son estas tres cosas? Alegría, estudio y piedad. —San Juan Bosco

The Legion of Mary

Door to Door Parish Evangelization

Touched by the Holy Spirit, the Legion of Mary, a lay parish-based organization, has a plan of action to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the truths of our Catholic faith. We are called to welcome with love and caring

those who have stopped practicing their faith; to invite those who have no church family; and to share our faith with other Christians within the parish community. With Mary’s example and prayer, we grow as disciples ever faithful to Jesus and ever wanting to reveal Him.

COME • JOIN • BE ONE OF US

We meet every Monday at 5:30pm at the Parish Center.

Help us continue to adorn our altar! Give a donation to the altar flower fund today. You can bring your donation to the rectory office and you will be given a receipt for your donation.

¡Ayúdanos adornar el altar! Haga una donación al fondo de flores para el altar hoy. Puede traer su donación a la rectoría y se le entregará un recibo por su donación.

Flower Coordinator Volunteer / La Coordinadora: MARIA REYNAGA

If you would like to help decorate the altar, please submit your name and number to the rectory. The altar is decorated on Saturdays at 10am.

¿S U ? Evalúe las relaciones con base en el context

Podemos pensar que sabemos suficiente sobre los límites apropiados en las relaciones, pero los límites son complicados, aun para los adultos.

Los niños dependen de los adultos para definir lo que es apropiado y lo que no es, en el contexto de las relaciones. Por ejemplo, algunas caricias son “seguras” o “inseguras”, dependiendo de quién haga las caricias, un padre de familia, un extraño, un profesor, etc. Para más información, obtenga una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Keeping in Touch with Important Distinctions” (Manteniéndose al tanto de distinciones importantes), en

Evaluate relationships based on context

We may think we know enough about appropriate boundaries in relationships, but boundaries are complicated, even for adults. Children rely on adults to define what is appropriate and what isn’t, in the context of the relationship. For example, some touches are “safe” or “unsafe” depending on who is in the relationship — a parent, a stranger, a teacher, etc. For more information, get a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Keeping in Touch with Important Distinctions” from
