DOERS OF THE WORD The second reading for today begins a five-week series of selections from James, a letter that is classified among the so-called “catholic” (or universal) epistles because they are addressed to a general audience rather than to one particular community. Today’s text offers im-portant advice for Christians of every generation. God is first cited as the author of all gifts, and in particular, ref-erence is made to the gift of baptism by which we have been made the “first fruits” of the new creation. What follows is advice based on a very Jewish understanding of the “word” as an active force, operative in the world. We are reminded that unless we, too, be-come “doers” of the word, our claim to faith is empty. Today and in subsequent weeks the author reminds us that it is equally important to do the “works” of love, for example, by caring for the “orphans and widows in their affliction.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRACTIQUEN LA PALABRA La segunda lectura de hoy comienza una serie de cinco semanas de selecciones de la Carta de Santiago que se clasifica entre las epístolas llamadas “católicas” (o univer-sales) porque están dirigidas a un público general y no a una comunidad en particular. El texto de hoy ofrece conse-jos importantes para los cristianos de todas las genera-ciones. Dios es citado por primera vez como autor de todos los dones, y en particular, se hace referencia al don del bautismo, por el que somos las “primicias” de la nueva creación. Lo que sigue es un consejo basado en un entendi-miento muy judío de la “palabra” como una fuerza activa, operativa en el mundo. Se nos recuerda que a menos que nosotros también nos convirtamos en “practicantes” de la palabra, nuestra profesión de fe no vale nada. Hoy y en las próximas semanas el autor nos recuerda que es igualmente importante que hacer las “obras” del amor, por ejemplo, cuidar de los “huérfanos y las viudas en sus tribulaciones”.

Almighty God and Father, look with love upon our men and women in uniform and protect them in their time of need.

PARKING IN THE FIRE LANE HAS US SEEING RED! We have portions of the curbs in our parking lot painted red. This indicates a fire lane. Fr. Olin has pointed out to some people that parking in the fire lane is unlawful AND unsafe. Some of you have informed him that you have a handi-capped placard. Those placards are issued to allow those who are truly handicapped to park in spaces reserved for those who are handi-capped. You can also park next to a green painted curb. You CANNOT, however, park in the fire lane. So unless your handicapped placard is hanging from the rear view mirror of your fire truck, YOU CANNOT PARK IN THE RED!!!!!!
