Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 13, 2011 CHOICE “If you choose you can keep the commandments,” Sirach tells us. God “has set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand” (Sirach 15:15, 16). This is a great mystery: God does not control us so completely that we cannot choose our own path. We have certain boundaries, of course, but no one but we can choose our way within those boundaries.

In today’s reading from Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us of our freedom and our responsibility for our lives. He calls us to look beyond the words of the commandments, all the way to their meaning. Look beyond the adultery to the selfishness that poisons our love. Look beyond the murder to the anger that eats away at our compassion. Look beyond the perjured testimony to the lies and deception that drive our behavior.

Our vocation is to choose life for ourselves, and to choose a path through our part of the world that helps make life possible and more abundant for others as well. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

WE ARE A SACRIFICIAL GIVING PARISH “Before man are life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given to him.” -Sirach 15:17 It seems that in this life we have an endless array of difficult choices always conflicting for our time and our attention. But in the end it is all very simple. Do we chose to give or do we chose to have? Do we chose to participate or do we choose to go our own way? Do we chose God or do we choose the world?

Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 13 de febrero de 2011 Lo que Dios ha preparado para los que lo aman, ni el ojo lo ha visto, ni el oído lo ha escuchado, ni la mente del hombre pudo siquiera haberlo imaginado.

A nosotros, en cambio, Dios nos lo ha revelado por el Espíritu.— 1 Corintios 2:9-10

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS OBSERVANCIAS Domingo: Santa Catalina de Ricci; Día Mundial del Matrimonio Lunes: Santos Cirilo y Metodio; Día de San Valentín Martes: San Faustino y Santa Jovita Jueves: Los Siete Fundadores de la Orden de los Siervos de Maria Sábado: San Álvaro de Córdoba UNCIÓN DE LOS ENFERMOS El sábado, 26 de febrero a las 10am en la Parroquia se celebrara una Misa para los enfermos con la celebración del Sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos. Aquella persona que éste enferma, que esta en espera de una cirugía, sufriendo de una enfermedad crónica seria (artritis, diabetes, etc.) puede recibir la Unción durante la Misa. Si usted conoce alguna persona que se encuentra confinada en su casa por favor trate de que ellos asistan a esta celebración del poder sanador de Dios. Un almuerzo será servido después de la Misa en el Salón St. Michael. Aunque no es necesario avisar a la Oficina Parroquial, nos ayudaría que lo hicieran para poder planificar con la cantidad de personas que asistirán si usted llama al 813-8857861 e indique si usted piensa asistir.

Clases de Preparación para el Bautismo en Español Es requisito que los padres estén inscritos en la parroquia por lo menos tres meses antes del Bautizo de su hijo/a.

En el aprenderás a tener un mayor conocimiento de Dios y a transformar tu vida a la luz de la Palabra, estableciendo una relación más íntima, personal y profunda con El. El mismo se realizará en el Media Center de 7:00pm - 9:00pm. Para más información, comuníquese con Gisela Adames al 813-298-7359.

PILDORITAS DE FE DEL PADRE DIEGO Culto a la Eucaristía Quién reconoce que Jesucristo es dios, fuente de todo bien, debe adorarlo. Jesucristo está verdaderamente y en su totalidad presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Se deduce que el creyente debe adorar a Cristo en la Eucaristía. La forma varía según la cultura y los ritos.

La legislación postconciliar para el Rito Latino determina que el Santísimo Sacramento, ya sea en el tabernáculo o expuesto en el altar, se le debe venerar haciendo una genuflexión con una rodilla.

Su Presencia permanece en las especies sacramentales hasta que se pierda la apariencia de pan. Se deduce que a Cristo Eucarístico se le debe adoración y ésta se extiende a las Sagradas Hostias reservadas en el tabernáculo después de la Santa Misa. Estas últimas son co-objetivo de adoración, pues están unidas con Cristo en unidad de sacramento.

Conforme a la costumbre recibida en la Iglesia Católica, todos los fieles de Cristo deben tributarle el culto de latría que se debe al verdadero Dios (Can. 6). El sacramento fue instituido por Cristo Señor para ser recibido ( Mt. 26,26); Los Magos, “postrándose le adoraron” Mt. 2,11; la Escritura atestigua (Mt. 28,17) que le adoraron los Apóstoles en Galilea. San Pablo escribe: “Y adórenle todos los ángeles de Dios” (Hebr. 1,6).

El Grupo de Matrimonios “Unidos por el Amor” de Encarnación invita a todas las parejas de la comunidad a sus reuniones semanales. El grupo se reúne todos los viernes de 7:30pm a 9:30pm. Los primeros viernes del mes nos reunimos en la casa de algún miembro del grupo. Los 2º, 3º, 4º y 5º viernes del mes nos reunimos en el Salón St. Francis. Para más información, comuníquese con Aristeo y María Rojas al los teléfonos: 813-843-1231 o 813-843 -1167. Pueden traer a sus niños a las reuniones.

Taller de Ministerios de Incarnation Se llevaran a cabo todos los primeros sábados del mes de 7:30am - 9:00am en el Salón St. Patrick.

Todos deben asistir.

TÚ DECIDES “Si tú lo quieres, puedes guardar los mandamientos”, nos dice Eclesiástico (Sirácide). Dios “ha puesto delante de ti fuego y agua; extiende la mano a lo que quieras” (Eclo 15:15, 16). Este es un gran misterio: Dios no nos controla tan completamente que no podemos elegir nuestro propio camino. Es cierto que tenemos límites, pero nadie sino nosotros mismos podemos elegir el camino dentro de esos límites. En la lectura de hoy del Evangelio según san Mateo, Jesús nos recuerda que somos libres y responsables de nuestra vida. Nos llama a ir más allá de las palabras de los mandamientos para considerar su significado. Si vas más allá del adulterio verás el egoísmo que envenena nuestro amor. Si vas más allá del asesinato verás la ira que corroe nuestra compasión. Si vas más allá del falso testimonio (perjurio) verás las mentiras y engaños que producen este comportamiento. Nuestra vocación es elegir la vida para nosotros mismos, y tomar un camino a través de nuestro mundo que haga la vida posible y más abundante para otros también. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. El matrimonio, una vocación de amor El verdadero amor abarca la totalidad de la persona: tiende a hacer a los esposos un solo corazón y una sola alma (Hch. 4,32); es fiel y exclusivo hasta la muerte; es fecundo, es abnegado. Es fruto de la caridad (1 Cor 13). Y debe crecer continuamente. El matrimonio se funda en el consentimiento de los contrayentes, es decir, en la voluntad de darse mutua y definitivamente con el fin de vivir una alianza de amor fiel y fecundo (n. 662. Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica). Todo suena muy lindo y la verdad lo es, aunque no siempre sea así. En el matrimonio, como en la vida, hay desafíos, crisis y etapas por las que todos pasamos, pero todo esto nos fortalece, nos hace crecer, amarnos más, valorar más a nuestra pareja, nuestra vida juntos.

NUESTRA PARROQUIA A veces se ha acusado a la comunidad hispana de ser demasiado complaciente y de no luchar contra la injusticia, como si estuvieran resignados a la fatalidad de las cosas. Posiblemente algo de pasividad pudiera haber, pero quizás sea más bien un sentido del discernimiento de lo que se puede y no se puede hacer. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2011
