FIRST READING JONAH 3: 1-5, 10

The word of the LORD came to Jonah, saying: “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you.” So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD’S bidding. Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed, “ when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PSALM 25: 4-5, 6-7, 8-9

R.Teach me your ways, O Lord. Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths, Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior. R.Teach me your ways, O Lord. Remember that your compassion, O LORD, and your love are from of old. In your kindness remember me, because of your goodness, O LORD. R.Teach me your ways, O Lord Good and upright is the LORD; thus he shows sinners the way. He guides the humble to justice and teaches the humble his way. R. Teach me your ways, O Lord.

SECOND READING 1 CORINTHIANS 7: 29-31

I tell you, brothers and sisters, the time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away.

ALLELUIA MARK 1: 15

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel. R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL MARK 1 :14-20

After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.

Papa Francisco pide rezar juntos en la

Semana de Oración por la Unidad de los

Cristianos: El Papa Francisco invitó a rezar juntos en la Semana de Oración por la Unidad de los Cristianos que se lleva a cabo del 18 al 25 de enero en el hemisferio norte del mundo. En un mensaje enviado a través de su cuenta oficial de Twitter @Pontifex_es, el Santo Padre recordó que el tema en 2021 de esta iniciativa promovida por el Pontificio Consejo para la promoción de la unidad de los cristianos y el consejo ecuménico de las Iglesias es “permanezcan en mi amor y darán mucho fruto”. El tema de este año se basa en el capítulo 15 del Evangelio de San Juan en la que Jesús describe una parábola sobre la vida y los sarmientos para destacar la importancia del estar unidos en el amor de Dios.

PRIMERA LECTURA JONÁS 3, 1-5. 10

En aquellos días, el Señor volvió a hablar a Jonás y le dijo: “Levántate y vete a Nínive, la gran capital, para anunciar ahí el men-saje que te voy a indicar”. Se levantó Jonás y se fue a Nínive, como le había mandado el Señor. Nínive era una ciudad enorme: hacían falta tres días para recorrerla. Jonás caminó por la ciudad durante un día, pregonando: “Dentro de cuarenta días Nínive será destruida”. Los ninivitas creyeron en Dios, ordenaron un ayuno y se vistieron de sayal, grandes y pequeños. Cuando Dios vio sus obras y cómo se convertían de su mala vida, cambió de parecer y no les mandó el castigo que había determinado imponerles.

SALMO RESPONSORIAL SALMO 24, 4-5AB. 6-7BC. 8-9

R. Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos.

Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos, guíanos con la verdad de su doctrina. Tú eres nuestro Dios y salvador y tenemos en ti nuestra esperanza. R. Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos.

Acuérdate, Señor, que son eternos tu amor y tu ternura. Según ese amor y esa ternura, acuérdate de nosotros. R. Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos.

Porque el Señor es recto y bondadoso, indica a los pecadores el sendero, guía por la senda recta a los humildes y descubre a los pobres sus caminos. R. Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos.

SEGUNDA LECTURA 1 CORINTIOS 7, 29-31

Hermanos: Les quiero decir una cosa: la vida es corta. Por tanto, conviene que los casados vivan como si no lo estuvieran; los que sufren, como si no sufrieran; los que están alegres, como si no se alegraran; los que compran, como si no compraran; los que disfrutan del mundo, como si no disfrutaran de él; porque este mundo que vemos es pasajero.

ACLAMACIÓN ANTES DEL EVANGELIO MARCOS 1, 15

R. Aleluya, aleluya. El Reino de Dios ya está cerca, dice el Señor. arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio. R. Aleluya.

EVANGELIO MARCOS 1, 14-20

Después de que arrestaron a Juan el Bautista, Jesús se fue a Galilea para predicar el Evangelio de Dios y decía: “Se ha cumplido el tiempo y el Reino de Dios ya está cerca. Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio”. Caminaba Jesús por la orilla del lago de Galilea, cuando vio a Simón y a su hermano, Andrés, echando las redes en el lago, pues eran pescadores. Jesús les dijo: “Síganme y haré de ustedes pescadores de hombres”. Inmediatamente dejaron las redes y lo siguieron. Un poco más ade-lante, vio a Santiago y a Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que estaban en una barca, remendando sus redes. Los llamó, y ellos, dejando en la barca a su padre con los trabajadores, se fueron con Jesús.

------------

SÍMBOLO DE LOS APÓSTOLES Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra. Creo en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, nuestro Señor, que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de santa María Virgen, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado, descendió a los infiernos, al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos, subió a los cielos y está sentado a la derecha de Dios, Padre todopoderoso. Desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a vivos y muertos.

Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la santa Iglesia católica, la comunión de los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de la carne y la vida eterna. Amén.

OFFICE FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Background Screening Update The Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People (The Charter) promulgated by the Bishops of the United States in 2002 outlines specific practices and guidelines providing standards of safety in parishes and dioceses throughout the United States. As directed in The Charter, the Diocese of Rockville Centre requires all employees, clergy, and volunteers to complete three requirements within thirty days of employment or volunteering: ♦ Attend Protecting God’s Children Program (Virtus) ♦ Sign the Codes of Conduct; ♦ Complete a background screen application. The Diocese requires all those who remain in active ministry be rescreened at 5 year intervals. volunteers/employees. A Word on Background Screening of Volunteers:

The Office for the Protection of Children and Young People (OFPCYP) has streamlined the volunteer application process enabling volunteers to complete the three safe environment requirements in one step. Individuals wishing to volunteer in a parish or school: 1. Register to attend a Protecting God’s Children class and create a

Virtus account on the Virtus website: www.Virtus.org 2. Electronically acknowledge the Diocesan Code of Conduct-

provided during the Virtus registration process. 3. Follow the instructions to complete the Sterling Volunteers

background screening application background offered during the Virtus registration process.

Active Volunteers: If you are active in a parish ministry, have already attended Virtus and have been background screened you may be at -or beyond- the 5 year rescreening requirement. If this is the case, you will receive an email from Sterling Volunteers asking you to complete the background screening application on-line. You may access the background screening application by following the prompt in the email or logging into your Virtus account. Please be aware-this is not a scam nor has your e-mail been hacked. The OFPCYP has been working with your parish to update the Safe Environment records and noted it is time for you to be rescreened. You may also be prompted to electronically re-sign the Code of Conduct when you log into your Virtus account. Edit Your Virtus Account:

To access your Virtus account: www.Virtus.org You will need your Username and Password. If you need assistance, please contact Virtus: 1-888-847-8870 or helpdesk@virtus.org.

2. Aceptar electrónicamente el Código de Conducta Diocesano- proporcionado durante el proceso de registro de Virtus.

3. Seguir las instrucciones para completar la solicitud de Investigación de Antecedentes de Sterling Volunteers que se ofrece durante el proceso de registro de Virtus.

Voluntarios activos: Si usted está activo en un ministerio parroquial, ya ha asistido a un taller de Virtus y sus antecedentes han sido evaluados, es posible que usted ya se haya pasado o está a punto del requisito de reevaluación de cada 5 años. Si este es el caso, usted recibirá un correo electrónico de Sterling Volunteers pidiéndole que complete la solicitud de investigación de antecedentes en línea. Usted puede acceder a la aplicación de investiga-ción de antecedentes siguiendo las indicaciones del correo electrónico o entrando en su cuenta Virtus. Tenga en cuenta que esto no es una estafa ni que su correo electrónico ha sido pirateado (hacked). La OPPNJ ha estado trabajando con su parroquia para actualizar los registros de Ambiente Seguro y señaló que es hora de que usted sea re-evaluado. También se le puede pedir que nuevamente firme electrónicamente el Código de Conducta cuando entre a su cuenta de Virtus. Actualize su cuenta Virtus:

Para acceder a su cuenta Virtus: www.Virtus.org Usted necesitará su nombre de usuario y contraseña. Si necesita ayuda, comuníquese con Virtus: 1-888-847-8870 o helpdesk@virtus.org. Una vez entre a su cuen-ta, revise la información de su cuenta, particularmente su dirección de correo electrónico. Si su cuenta requiere una actualización, presione la pestaña TOOLBOX en la parte superior de la pantalla. En el lado izquierdo de la pantalla, en la columna verde, haga clic en "Actualizar mi cuenta". Podrá realizar los cambios necesarios; recuerde presionar el botón SAVE en la parte inferior de la pantalla. Preguntas o inquietudes: mmcmahon@drvc.org; amendoza-cantos@drvc.org; jwinter@drvc.org; pditomasso@drvc.org Gracias a todos los que continúan sirviendo en un ministerio en estos días extremadamente desafiantes.
