CONGRATULATIONS TO :
Kristina & Ariel who will be united in the Sacrament of
Marriage on February 1, 2014.
“Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a
mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to
their eventual souls, with whom they make up a sole family - a domestic church.” (Blessed John Paul II)
THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Isaiah 8:23—9:3
The prophet Isaiah describes the
anguish of a conquered people, but he promises that they will
triumph and will see a great light as on the “day of Midian.”
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:10—13, 17
Paul speaks to the Corinthians with both anger and indignation because they are quarreling among themselves as to
whom they should show allegiance. Some wish to follow
Paul; some, Peter; others Apollos; others, Christ.
Gospel: Matthew 4:12-23
Jesus begins his mission by going to Capernaum, fulfilling the
prophecy of Isaiah. He selects Peter, Andrew, James and John
as his disciples, inviting them to be “fishers of men.”
On those dwelling in a land
overshadowed by death light
has arisen"
O Christ, deign to kindle our
lamps, our most sweet Savior,
that they may shine continually in
your temple and receive perpetual light from you, light perpetual, so that our darkness may be enlightened, and the
world's darkness may be driven from us.
Thus enrich my lantern with your light, I pray you, Jesus
mine, so that by its light there may be disclosed to me those
holy places of the holy, which hold you, the eternal priest of
the eternal things, entering there the courts of that great temple of yours (Heb 9,11f.), that I may constantly see, observe,
desire you only, and loving you alone may behold you so that
before you my lamp may ever shine and burn.
I beg you, most loving Savior, to reveal yourself to us who
beseech you, so that knowing you, we may love you only, love
you alone, desire you alone, contemplate you alone by day
and night, and ever hold you in our thoughts. Deign to inspire
us with your love so far as it befits you to be loved and cherished as our God, that your charity may possess all our inward
parts and your love may wholly own us... May we know no
other love apart from you who are eternal so that such affection may be in us as is impossible of quenching even by all
the many waters of air and land and sea, according to that
saying of the Song of Songs: “Many waters are not able to
quench love” (8,7). This can be fulfilled in us, even though
only in part, by your gift, O our Lord Jesus Christ.

it is the way God designed us! Find answers to relationship
issues of our times and discover the truth and beauty
of authentic love. Internationally renowned speaker Billy

their wisdom on marital fulfillment and love. The day concludes with a mass honoring the longest married couples in

TERCER DOMINGO EN
TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Primera Lectura:
Isaías 8:23-9:3
El profeta Isaías describe la angustias del pueblo conquistado, pero promete que ellos triunfarán y verán una gran luz como en el “día de Madián.”
Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 1:10-13, 17
Pablo le habla a los corintios con enojo e indignación puesto
que han peleado entre ellos para determina a quién deben
demostrar lealtad. Algunos desean seguir a Pablo, otros a

NUESTRA NUEVA RECPCIONISTA
DURANTE EL DIA
DJENA B. ABRAHAM
Le damos la mas cordial bienvenida a Djena al equipo
de empleados en la Rectoría. Ella es nuestra nueva recepcionista durante el día y estamos muy contentos que
Evangelio: San Mateo 4:12-23
Jesús empieza su misión yendo a Capernaún, cumpliendo la
profesía de Isaías. Escoje a Pedro, Andrés, Santiago y Juan
como sus discípulos, invitándolos a ser “pescadores de hombres”.
“Apareció una gran luz sobre
aquellos que habitaban en tinieblas y sombras de muerte”
Te ruego, Jesús mío, que enciendas tan intensamente mi
lámpara contu resplandor que, a la luz de una claridad tan
intensa, pueda contemplar el santo de los santos que está en
el interior de aquel gran templo, en el cual tú, Pontífice eterno de los bienes eternos, has penetrado; que allí, Señor, te
contemple continuamente y pueda así desearte, amarte y
quererte solamente a ti, para que mi lámpara, en tu presencia,
esté siempre luciente y ardiente.Te pido, Salvador amantísimo, que te manifiestes a nosotros, que llamamos a tu puerta,
para que, conociéndote, te amemos sólo a ti y únicamente a
ti; que seas tú nuestro único deseo, que día y noche meditemos sólo en ti, y en ti únicamente pensemos.
Alumbra en nosotros un amor inmenso hacia ti, cual corresponde a la caridad con la que Dios debe ser amado y querido… y hasta tal punto inunde todos nuestros sentimientos,
que nada podamos ya amar fuera de ti, el único eterno. Así,
por muchas que sean las aguas de la tierra y del firmamento,
nunca llegarán a extinguir en nosotros la caridad, según
aquello que dice la Escritura: Las aguas torrenciales no podrán apagar el amor. Que esto llegue a realizarse, al menos
parcialmente, por don tuyo, Señor Jesucristo.
Quiero
dar las
gracias al grupo de Jovenes Adultos Kerigma de la Comunidad Hispana de Nuestra Parroquia San Jose por su

Pêcheurs d’hommes
Laisser ici nos filets, nous convertir, devenir pêcheurs
d’hommes et nous préparer à la venue du Royaume de Dieu :
voilà de bien fortes paroles que nous rapporte Matthieu. En
effet, ces quelques mots renferment à eux seuls, et en essence,
tout l’enseignement que le Christ dispensera lors de son ministère.
Laisser nos filets ? Oui, c’est laisser de côté toutes ces activités qui encombrent nos jours et que, faussement, nous
croyons essentielles : travail forcené pour gagner plus (et dépenser plus), passe-temps, course aux biens matériels et
miroirs aux alouettes de toutes sortes. Nous convertir ? Oui,
après avoir laissé nos filets, c’est littéralement changer de vie,
prendre les choses d’une autre façon, faire preuve de charité
et de pardon (et chacun sait que les occasions ne manquent
pas). Et arrêter de faire, comme le dit l’auteur français
Dominique Glocheux, que « la première partie de la vie se
passe à désirer la seconde, et la seconde à regretter la première. »
Devenir pêcheurs d’hommes ? Oui, bien sûr ! Et c’est la partie la plus fascinante de notre vie de chrétiens. Annoncer,
Célébrer et Servir la Parole du Christ : ces trois maître-mots
font et feront de nous des pêcheurs d’hommes. Pour cela, il
faut avoir une volonté bien trempée. Comme le dit le
proverbe chinois : « La volonté permet de grimper sur les
cimes, sans volonté on reste au pied de la montagne. »
Mon Dieu, donne nous cette volonté indéfectible et cette
énergie qui fait de nous des pêcheurs d’homme ! Il y a tant à
faire. La Parole du Christ est si belle qu’elle mérite que nous
y consacrions notre vie.
