JHS

UNDERSTANDING JESUS, THE SON OF GOD

“The Gospel of Jesus, the Christ, Son of God. “The Gospel of Mark begins with those words. A

phrase of which we can get much: Jesus is the Messiah , the Son of God and He has a “Good News”.

That’s what the word Gospel means: “Good News” It becomes more understandable in the

announcement of the Kingdom (Cfr. Mc. 1, 14-15); in many healings that Jesus performed; in the

astonishment of the people, who listened to Jesus and saw his miracles; in eating with sinners ; in

the freedom with which his followers acted….. But soon especially from Chapter 3 and following,

Jesus suffered misunderstanding, rejection and persecution.

We see that after the healing of the man with the paralyzed hand, the Pharisees and Herodians got

together to look for the form to eliminate Jesus (Cfr. Mc 3,6)

The greatest miss understanding of Jesus, we see in his family members, they were looking for Him

because they said: “He had lost his mind”. The miss understanding of his family members was

because Jesus had separated himself from the familiar circle. He had become a Prophet, who goes

preaching to different places and speaks about God in a new way, and of a Kingdom that has come.

Another misunderstanding came from stronger and learned groups, as the Scribes, who said: “He is

possessed by Satan, prince of the Demons, and that is why He casts them out.” Jesus called the

Scribes close to Him, and asked them: “how can Satan cast Satan?” and He explained to them with

parables, but they did not open themselves to the truth, to the light of Jesus. And it was when Jesus

spoke about the sin against the Holy Spirit, which is the sin of closing the mind and the heart to the

truth, of not recognizing that sweet wind that moves us from inside; of not accepting salvation that

comes from God. As we have said, the miss understanding which hurt Jesus heart the most, came

from closer people, from family members, who were looking for Him… And Jesus had the

opportunity to say: “Who fulfills the will of God, he\she is my brother, my sister and my mother.”

I ask myself: Who is Jesus for me? What astonishes me about Him? What is hard for me to

understand from his messages? ---Sister Celia Campoy, MDPVM

ST. MARTIN MEN’S CLUB

MEETING

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2017

6:30PM IN THE PARISH HALL

MATACHINES NEEDED! We will be celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Tuesday,

December 12 at 5pm. We would like to invite all youth 10 years and

up to participate in this event by joining a Matachines group made up

of fellow parishioners. Matachines is an old tradition that comes from

Mexico where dancers gather together and dress up to perform a

ritualistic dance. The procession on Dec. 12 will begin at St. Gertrude

Parish and end at St. Martin Church with mass and reception to follow.

We will hold practices at Our Lady of Good Counsel at 5pm on Nov.

19, Dec. 3 and Dec. 10 so that we can work on the necessary footwork,

choreography and costumes. Children do not need to have past dance

experience the dance is simple. We hope that this program can become

successful by your help.

ST. MARTIN T-SHIRT ORDER FORM

Our T-Shirts looked awesome by those who wore them to our Feast Day Celebration. We have received a lot of requests

for more. If you would like to order a T-Shirt please fill out this form and return with payment no later than December 3.

Forms and payment may be placed in the collection basket or may be turned in to the CCD office. This will be the last

opportunity to order.

T-Shirts should be ready for pick up at the CCD office by December 10 so that you can wear them for the Feast of Our Lady

of Guadalupe celebration.
