Third Sunday in Ordinary Time When he announced this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis highlight-ed today’s Gospel episode, in which Je-sus proclaims in his hometown syna-gogue his Spirit-anointed mission to fulfill the promises of the prophet Isaiah. Jesus’ mission then, says Pope Francis, is our mission now as Je-sus’ disciples this Jubilee Year of Mercy: to bring glad tidings to the poor, liberty to captives, recov-ery of sight to the blind, freedom to the oppressed, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord, a year of God’s mercy. Pope Francis challenges us to translate Jesus’ mission to contemporary needs: to console by word and deed those materially or spiritually poor, to liberate those bound by modern society’s new forms of slavery, to open the eyes of those blinded by their own self-interest, and to re-store human dignity to all those from whom it has been stolen. To act with mercy in a spirit of joy!

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Cuando se anunció este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, el Papa Francisco subrayó el evento del Evangelio de hoy: Jesús pro-clamando en la sinagoga de su propio pue-blo su misión ungida por el Espíritu para cumplir plenamente las promesas del profeta Isaías. Así que el Papa Francisco dice que la misión de Jesús es nuestra misión como discípulos de Jesús este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia: llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres, la libertad a los cautivos, la vista a los ciegos, el rescate a los cautivos y a proclamar un año de gracia del Señor, un año de la misericordia de Dios. El Papa Francisco nos desafía a interpretar la misión de Jesús a las necesidades presentes: a consolar con palabras y obras a las personas que sean pobres espiritual o mate-rialmente, a liberar a quienes están atados a las nuevas formas de esclavitud de la sociedad moderna, a abrir los ojos a las personas que están ciegas por su mismo

egoísmo y a restaurar la dignidad a todas aquellas personas a las que se les despojo. ¡Para actuar con misericordia con un espí-ritu de alegría!

The Liturgy and Influenza

With Flu season right around the corner, we offer the following suggestions.

Durante este tiempo del año es donde muchas personas tienen gripe y nosotros

queremos hacer alguna segurencias:

Holy Communion: Priests, Deacons and Eucharistic Ministers should be especially encouraged to wash

their hands before Mass begins.

Communion from the Cup: The faithful should refrain from drinking from the cup when one has a cold.

Greeting of Peace: The faithful should use good judgment and limit contact with others when sick.

Mass Attendance: If one is sick, there in no obligation to attend Mass, personal prayer

and reflection is encouraged

La Santa Comunión: Los sacerdotes, los Diáconos y Ministros eucarísticos deben especialmente lavar las

manos antes que Masa empiece.

La Comunión de la Taza: El fiel no debe tomar de la taza cuando tiene un gripe.

El Saludo de la Paz: El fiel debe pensar de si deben tocar otros cuando están enfermos.

Asistir la Misa: Si está enfermo, no hay obligación de venir a la Misa, oración personales y reflejo pueden

ser hechas en esta situación Secretariat for the Liturgy; USCCB

O God of all the Nations, the One God who is and was and always will be, who in your providence

willed that your Church be united to the suffering of your Son, look with mercy on your servants in

Iraq who are persecuted for their faith in you. Grant them perseverance and courage to be wor-thy imitators of Christ. Bring your wisdom upon

leaders of nations to work for peace among all peoples. May your Spirit open conversion for

those who contradict your will that we live in har-mony. And in all things may we be united in truth and freedom to seek your will in our lives. We ask

this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.

As was announced last weekend at all Masses, Father Tom Moriarty met with Bishop William Murphy on Wednesday, January 13, 2016.

At that meeting, Father Tom was informed that, because his 12 year term as pastor of St. Joseph’s Parish ends this year, he would be

transferred to another parish at the end of June. This transfer is required by diocesan regulations which state that a priest

cannot be a pastor of an individual parish for more than 12 years. Father Tom arrived in St Joseph’s in 2004. His term is finished, and that is the ONLY

reason he is being transferred now.

There will be a meeting on Wednesday evening January 27th at 7:30 p.m. in St Joseph’s Church in Hewlett. This meeting will be conducted by Auxiliary

Bishop Andrez Zglejszewski , the Priest Personnel Director, Monsignor Peter Pfflom, and the area Dean, Father Brian Barr.

The purpose of this meeting is to gather information in order to help the Diocese, and Bishop Murphy, choose the right priest for this important

position as your next pastor. Please make every effort to attend.

community extends their condolences to the family of Anne Venezia. Anne volunteered her time for

almost two decades and will be remembered lovingly for her enormous kindness and generosity

grateful that we were part of your extended family.

“Don’t forget that He whom the whole universe cannot contain, was "hidden" in the womb of the Holy Virgin for nine months. Once you realize this, you will be awe-filled

for the double mystery that God has confided to you: to conceive a human being made to God’s image and likeness, and to give birth to him…” + Alice von Hildebrand, Philosopher, “Letter to a Young Girl” “Destruction of the embryo in the mother’s womb is a violation of the right to live which God has bestowed on this innocent life. To raise the question whether we are here concerned already with a human being or not is merely to confuse the issue. The simple fact is that God certainly intended to create a human being and that this human being has been deliberately de-prived of his life. ” + Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lutheran theologian and pastor who died in a concentration camp after re-sisting the Nazis, Ethics “No olvides que Él, al que todo el universo no puede contener, estuvo "escondido" en el seno de la Santísima Virgen durante nueve meses. Una vez que te des cuenta de esto, te llenarás de asombro por el doble misterio que Dios te ha confiado: concebir a un ser humano hecho a imagen y semejanza de Dios, y darlo a luz…” + Alice von Hildebrand, Filósofa, “Carta a una recién casada” “La destrucción del embrión en el seno materno constituye una violación al derecho a la vida que Dios ha concedido a esta vida inocente”. Cues-tionarnos si estamos ya ante un ser humano o no es simplemente confundir el problema. El simple hecho es que Dios definitivamente intentó crear a un ser humano, y que a este ser humano se le ha negado la vida de manera intencional. ” + Dietrich Bonhoeffer, teólogo luterano y pastor que murió en un campo de concentración después de resistirse a los nazis, Ethics

As Roman Catholics, our marriage practices have their pedigree in ancient Rome. One of the major players in shaping our practices was the warfare involved in building an empire. Soldiers vanished and sometimes never returned. Women began to manage their lives and to make decisions. The old family values were replaced by patriotic ones, and religion was more attuned to the gore and glory of battle, a religion of the state, not of the family. Weddings were still family celebrations, but had a public face. The bride wore a white toga and a red veil and walked to her new home. There, she and her husband joined their right hands and gave con-sent to each other, not relying on her father to give consent for her. Religion was optional: a pagan priest might be invited or not, and even without the ceremo-ny, society agreed by common law that a year of living together equaled marriage consent. By the same token, marriage by consent also meant divorce was on the same legal footing, and did not require the courts or civil declarations. This is the world-view the first Christians inherited, and it was up to them to deter-mine what was good and to hold marriage up to the light of the gospel.

El día 3 de febrero se celebra entre misas, mariachis, fuegos artificiales y muchas expresiones de religiosi-dad popular, la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de la Con-cepción de Suyapa en Honduras. Fue un sábado del

mes de febrero, cuando Alejandro Colin-dres, un joven humilde labrador, y Jorge Martínez, un niño de ocho años, la encon-traron. Según la tradición estos llegaron cansados a la quebrada del Piligüín. Acostándose sobre el suelo, Alejandro sintió lo que le parecía una piedra en su espalda. Por más que intentaba arrojarla

lejos, cuando se acostaba sentía la misma piedra. Por fin en lugar de tirarla, la puso en su mochila y al amanecer descubrió que no era piedra sino una pe-queña imagen de María (6.5 cm.) con rostro indíge-na tallada en madera. En 1780 se le construyó un templo y en 1796 se registró su primer milagro. El Papa Pió XII la pro-clamó Patrona de la República de Honduras en 1925. En las advocaciones latinoamericanas ella es nombrada como la fortaleza de los humildes.

LIVING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most be-loved imagery is contained in the passages from First Corinthians that we have heard last week and this week: the many gifts granted by the one same Spirit and the many members making up the one Body of Christ. Few passages from sacred scripture more accu-rately sum up how Christian vocations work together. Unlike some of Paul’s other writings, which are a product of the social and reli-gious conventions of his time, these ena-ble us to look at our own lives and the lives of those around us to discern what gifts, what vocations the Holy Spirit has given for the good of all. We can likewise know the joys and sorrows of the other members of the Body and share in them for the strengthening of the whole Body of Christ

LA VIDA DEL CUERPO DE CRISTO Algunas de las imágenes más conocidas y queridas de san Pablo se encuentran en los pasajes de la primera carta a los corintios que hemos escuchado la semana

pasada y hoy: los muchos dones de un mis-mo Espíritu y los muchos miembros que componen el Cuerpo de Cristo. Pocos pasa-jes de la Sagrada Escritura resumen con ma-yor claridad cómo las vocaciones cristianas trabajan en colaboración. A diferencia de otros escritos de san Pablo, producto de las convenciones socia-les y religiosas de su época, estos nos permi-ten mirar nuestra propia vida y la vida de los

que están a nuestro alrededor para discernir los dones, la vocación que el Espíritu Santo nos ha dado para el bien de todos. Así también podemos conocer las ale-grías y las penas de los otros miembros del Cuerpo y compartirlos para así fortalecer todo el Cuerpo de Cris-to.
