A VISIBLE GOD - We find it difficult to convey ideas to people unless we can ac-tually show them something, demonstrate what we mean. God, who is invisible and truly beyond human understanding, apparently faces the same difficulty. People want to see, not just listen to an idea. So God gave us Jesus Christ, God made visible in the world.

During these past weeks we have seen how Jesus was revealed as an infant to the shepherds and the magi, and then began his adult “public life” at his baptism by John. Today’s Gospel reading tells us of his “first sign,” providing wine for the wedding guests at Cana.

Of course, even Jesus, God made visible, was not always easily understood in his own day, nor is he even now. So we have to ponder what we see: the poverty and simplicity of his birth, his humility and openness before John the Baptist, his kind-ness and compassion toward people in their ordinary problems, such as running short of wine at a wedding. Yet it is in coming to know Jesus that we come to know God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

20 de enero de 2013 Entonces las naciones verán tu justicia,

y tu gloria todos los reyes. — Isaías 62:2

Domingo 20 de Enero. Segundo Domingo Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios La Boda de Caná es signo de las bodas de sangre de Cristo, el verdadero Esposo. Es decir, Jesucristo que posee la plenitud del espíritu amoroso de Dios, es el Esposo de todo amor. Es el invitado principal, aunque no lo reconozcamos. Dicho de otro modo: Dios se revela en Cristo desde la vida misma, a través de los acontecimientos humanos, especialmente cuando el amor está de por medio. Hay que estar con amor en las bodas de la vida. Jesús aparece en medio de la vida, sensible a los problemas cotidianos, haciéndose cargo de ellos. Dios se ha comprometido, en su encarnación, a compartir nuestra vida, a hacer suyos nuestros dolores y nuestras alegrías, nuestros problemas y nuestras victorias. De la misma manera para los esposos cristianos, Cristo no puede ser un simple invitado en sus bodas, sino el que se ha de quedar con los esposo cuando todos los demás invitados se hayan marchado. Cristo quiere ser el testigo del cariño, del amor, del respeto y fidelidad de los esposos, el garante de la felicidad, el mediador en conflictos, el confidente de los problemas e incomprensiones, el amigo que los saca de apuros cuando empieza a escasear el vino, que es la alegría que permite y motiva a la comunión. Sobre todo esto, el que de a los esposos la alegría de vivir, convirtiendo el vino del amor humano en el generoso vino de última hora: el vino del amor cristiano. Por eso el matrimonio cristiano no puede ser nunca un egoísmo entre dos, ya que en él se representa el amor infinito de Dios que entra en comunión con todos los hombres. La mujer cristiana ha de amar en su esposo al mismo Cristo, el hermano universal. El esposo cristiano ha de amar a su esposa a todo el mundo. Es esta para él, su prójimo en carne viva. Es así como, según dice San Pablo, un esposo cristiano ha de tratar a su esposa: “como Cristo trata a la Iglesia”. Bodas de Caná de Galilea: El poder de la creatividad Los milagros no son otra cosa que la capacidad de crear que tiene el hombre: es el mejor parecido del hombre con Dios. Ante una situación se responde con creatividad. Se crea lo que no había. P. Jairo

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. La Oficina Parroquial estará cerrada mañana lunes, 21 de enero en memoria de este Líder de la Nación.

Retiros “La Viña de Raquel”

La Viña de Raquel nos ofrece un lugar seguro donde se logra reconstruir y redimir los corazones rotos por motivo de un aborto. Allí se ofrece un ambiente confidencial donde no se le juzga, y donde hombres y mujeres pueden expresarse y reconciliar aquellas emociones que han suscitado después de un aborto, y así comenzar el proceso de renovación y sanación. El próximo retiro en ingles será: 15 de marzo - 17 de marzo y en español el 5 de abril - 7 de abril, 2013. Para más información comuníquese con

Emma Boe al 813-924-4173 o enviando un correo electrónico a emmaboe@aol.com.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

En 1502 el Fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce franciscanos dieron inicio a la evangelización de América en la República Dominicana. Ellos fueron enviados por los reyes españoles con el mandato de convertir a los nativos “sin les hacer fuerza alguna”. Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higuey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. María observa dulcemente a su recién nacido quien yace sobres las pajas. Está coronada y lleva puesto un manto azul rociado de estrellas y un escapulario blanco. Lleva una aureola hecha de doce estrellas. En una esquina de la imagen san José también observa al niño por encima del hombro derecho de María. El 25 de enero del 1979 Juan Pablo II la coronó por ser la primera evangelizadora del continente Americano. Con ella los doce misioneros trajeron la Alta Gracia de Jesucristo a nuestras tierras. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. NUESTRA CULTURA Parece que la historia de nuestras familias se puede contar a través de fiestas y celebraciones. No importa lo difícil que sea la vida, siempre se encuentra tiempo y motivo para la celebración. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2013
