Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 16, 2020

Feb. 2 – Presentation of the Lord. In accordance with the Law of Moses, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the Temple forty days after his birth, and Simeon praised God for revealing the long-awaited Savior.

Feb. 2 – St. Catherine of Ricci (1590). St. Catherine was born to a prominent banker. Against her father’s wishes, she joined the Dominicans when she was twelve. She is known for her visions of the Lord’s Passion, which she experienced every Friday.

Feb. 17 – The Seven Holy Founders (13th century). Seven Italian noblemen who withdrew from the immorality of the times to live in prayer, simplicity and penance. Their order, the Servants of Mary, was later approved by the Holy See in 1304.

Feb. 26 – Ash Wednesday. First day of Lent. Ashes from burnt palms are placed on the forehead as a sign of penance. Ash Wednesday is a day of abstinence from meat and fasting – one regular meal and two smaller meals that together don’t equal a full meal.

Q & A “Pray constantly” sounds challenging

but it doesn’t have to be. Actually, busy days offer many great opportunities for prayer if we know where to look. Consider these suggestions:

Pray throughout the day. Consider praying the Rosary on the way to work,

saying grace before lunch, offering a quick “I love you,” or praying for guidance for important decisions. Even job-related tasks can become “prayers in action.”

Fifteen minutes a day. Good friends know text messages can’t replace being together. It’s the same with God. He loves us and wants our company. Aim for 10-15 minutes of daily prayer. Thank God for your blessings, meditate on Scripture, offer him your day, or simply enjoy his company.

It’s the love that counts. For her love and humility, Jesus commended a poor but generous widow for her small donation (Mark 12:43-44). Sometimes, we have little time or energy for “good prayer.” Remember, what pleases God is not the elegance or number of our prayers, but the love with which we offer them.

How can I fit more prayer into my busy day?

Life on Earth lasts but a moment compared to our eternal life, yet we often let earthly concerns take priority over preparing for Heaven. If we put Heaven first, however, God will take care of everything else.

What is important to you? Make a list of what you do each day, from morning to bedtime. The activities that absorb most of your time are your real priorities. If it isn’t in God’s service, you need a change.

How do you make decisions? Do you look to friends or coworkers for advice? Or do you turn to prayer and Scripture for guidance? Resolve to take your eyes off of the world and place them on Christ. If we base all choices and decisions on God, we will never choose wrong.

Do you trust God to make you happy? “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Choose Heaven over Earth

The ancient concept of justice – “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” – is from Exodus 21:24, Leviticus 24:20 and Deuteronomy 19:21, and was originally meant to limit violence and prevent blood feuds. Instead, Jesus introduced a new approach, one that would bring about a different kind of justice.

Jesus directed his followers and us to “be perfect,” which includes being merciful. God requires our treatment of others – enemies included – to mirror his treatment of his enemies. As Christians, we are to imitate Christ, who forgave his

executioners from the Cross: “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

Forgiveness doesn’t mean letting the person get away with their offense. Forgiveness means letting go of our anger at the offender and entrusting the situation to God’s care. We can’t do this alone: we rely on God’s grace. We get

this from the Holy Spirit and also from receiving the Eucharist at Mass. By receiving the Eucharist, we are nourished by the Body and Blood of Christ, who strengthens us to lead a more perfect life.

Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario - 16 de febrero de 2020

2 de febrero – Presentación del Señor. Según la ley de Moisés, María y José llevaron a Jesús al templo cuarenta días después de su nacimiento y Simeón alabó a Dios por revelarle al Salvador, tanto tiempo esperado.

2 de febrero – Santa Catalina de Ricci (1590). Santa Catalina era hija de un importante banquero. Ingresó en las dominicas a los doce años de edad, en contra de los deseos de su padre. Es conocida por sus visiones de la Pasión del Señor, que experimentaba cada viernes.

17 de febrero – Los Siete Santos

Fundadores (siglo XIII). Siete nobles italianos se apartaron de la inmoralidad de sus tiempos para vivir en oración, sencillez y penitencia. Su orden, los Servidores de María, fue reconocida por la Santa Sede en 1304.

26 de febrero – Miércoles de Ceniza. Primer día de Cuaresma. En la frente de los fieles se coloca como penitencia la ceniza de las palmas quemadas. El Miércoles de Ceniza es día de abstinencia y de ayuno, es decir, comer sólo una comida normal y dos comidas más pequeñas que unidas no equivalgan a unacomida completa.

P & R

¿Cómo puedo encajar más oración en mi ajetreado día?

“Rezar sin cesar” parece un reto pero no ha de serlo. En realidad los días ocupados

ofrecen excelentes oportunidades para orar si sabemos dónde mirar. Tengan en cuenta estas sugerencias:

Recen a lo largo del día. Recen el Rosario de camino al trabajo, bendigan la mesa antes de comer, ofrezcan un

breve “Te quiero” o recen pidiendo orientación para

una decisión importante. Incluso las tareas relacionadas con el trabajo pueden convertirse en “plegarias en acción”.

Quince minutos al día. Los Buenos amigos saben que los mensajes de texto no son un sustituto del trato en persona. Lo mismo pasa con Dios. Él nos ama y desea nuestra compañía. Procuren sacar de 10 a 15 minutos al día de oración. Agradezcan a Dios sus gracias, mediten sobre la Escritura, ofrézcanle su día o simplemente disfruten de su compañía.

Lo que cuenta es el amor. Por su amor y su humildad, Jesús alabó a una viuda pobre pero generosa por su pequeño donativo (Marcos 12, 43-44). A veces tenemos poco tiempo o energía para una “buena oración”. Recuerden que lo que agrada a Dios no es la elegancia o el número de nuestras oraciones, sino el amor con el que las ofrecemos.

Prefieran el cielo a la tierra

Mateo 5, 38-48, Perdonen y recen

© Copyright 2020 Success Publishing & Media, LLC

La vida en la tierra dura un instante comparada con la vida eterna y, no obstante, a menudo permitimos que los asuntos terrenales tengan prioridad sobre nuestra preparación para el cielo. Sin embargo, si damos al cielo el primer puesto, Dios se ocupará de todo lo demás.

¿Qué es importante para usted? Haga una lista de lo que tiene que hacer cada día, desde que se levante hasta que se acueste. Las actividades que le absorben más tiempo son sus prioridades reales. Si no se hacen al servicio de Dios, necesita

un cambio. ¿Cómo toma decisiones? ¿Pide consejo a sus

compañeros de trabajo o a sus amigos? ¿O busca orientación en la oración y la Escritura? Decida alejar sus ojos del mundo y colóquelos en Cristo. Si elegimos y decidimos basándonos en Dios, nunca elegiremos mal.

¿Confía en que Dios lo hará feliz? “Porque yo sé muy bien lo que haré por ustedes; les quiero dar paz y no desgracia y un porvenir lleno de esperanza” (Jeremías 29:11).

El antiguo concepto de justicia –“ojo por ojo, diente por diente”– se encuentra en Éxodo 21, 24, Levítico 24, 20 and Deuteronomio 19, 21 y, en principio, se pensó para limitar la violencia y prevenir las reyertas familiares. En su lugar, Jesús introdujo un nuevo concepto, uno que supondría un tipo distinto de justicia.

Jesús pidió a sus seguidores y a nosotros que “seamos perfectos”, lo que incluye ser misericordioso. Dios exige que tratemos a los demás—incluidos los enemigos—como él trató a sus enemigos. Como cristianos debemos imitar a Cristo que perdonó a sus

verdugos desde la cruz, “Padre, perdónales, porque no saben lo que hacen” (Lucas 23, 34).

El perdón no es dejar que la persona esquive el castigo por su ofensa. El perdón es dejar nuestro enojo con el ofensor y confiar la situación al cuidado de Dios. No podemos hacer esto solos: dependemos de la gracia de Dios. La

conseguimos del Espíritu Santo y también al recibir la Eucaristía en la misa. Al recibir la Eucaristía nos nutrimos con el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo que nos dan fuerzas para vivir una vida más perfecta.
