Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

SPEAK, LORD, WE ARE LISTENING

In today’s first reading God keeps calling out in the night to a sleeping boy. Neither the boy, Samuel, nor his teacher, Eli, understands who is calling. But God’s persistence convinces them. Samuel is then ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10).

In the Gospel Jesus is out teaching. Various people notice him and begin to gather around. They soon become disciples and, like the young Samuel, are ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak,” they say, “we are listening.” God’s voice is always with us, awake or asleep. It swirls around us like fog on a waterfront, enveloping us, gently urging us to wake up, to listen. Awareness of the voice comes first; then willingness to listen; then, in time, the decision to act, to live according to God’s word. Let’s ask today for the ability to keep our ears open so we don’t miss God’s voice.

FEAST OF FAITH The Greeting

At several points during the liturgy, the presider greets us with the words, “The Lord be with you.” These simple words are not like the greetings that we exchange all day long—our “good mornings,” our “hellos” and “how are yous.” This liturgical greeting has roots deep in the Old Testament. In the book of Ruth, the words “the Lord be with you” are spoken by Boaz to the harvesters who are laboring in his fields (2:4); in the book of Judges, an angel speaks similar words to Gideon (6:12), where they are words of promise: for soon Gideon will lead his oppressed people to victory and freedom. For us, the words become a greeting of peace, a prayer that the Lord will indeed be with us, and a reminder of his promise to be with us always, to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Our response—“And also with you,” soon to be “And with your spirit”—returns to the presider this prayer for the Lord’s presence. As we know from the scriptures, a prayer for the Lord’s presence is no small thing, for when God comes in our midst, God brings healing, grace, and challenge. God’s presence transforms us.

Thank You for Your Generosity

Our parish is blessed by so many kind and generous people. Even in the midst of the ever-changing

circumstances of parish life during a pandemic, many of our parishioners have continued to send or bring their contributions to the parish. Many have begun using Online Giving. I am so grateful that so many people have continued to contribute. It has been very helpful to the financial situation of the parish. While our income is down significantly, the generosity shown by so many has enabled us to maintain the parish complex, keep current with our bills, and pay our dedicated staff. Thank you all, very much!

Even as Masses are being celebrated outside on the school grounds, there will be specially marked baskets on the tables near the entrance to the field into which you can place your offerings. Of course, you can continue to mail us your contribution or drop it off at the office (8:30am – 12:30pm). Online giving remains a good option as well. Thank you for supporting your parish.

In Memoriam — Rafael Cordova

Con gran tristeza anunciamos el fallecimiento de un querido amigo y compañero de trabajo. Durante más de 34 años, Rafi ha servido a nuestra comunidad parroquial como parte de nuestro personal de mantenimiento. Era leal, trabajador y confiable. Hizo su trabajo de una manera eficiente pero sin pretensiones. Pero más que eso, éramos una parte integral de la fibra misma de nuestra parroquia.

Rafi fue amado y apreciado por todos. Como verdadero cristiano, estaba dispuesto a ayudar a todos los necesitados. Nunca buscó el reconocimiento ya que mostró una gran humildad en todas las cosas. Su cálida sonrisa lo hizo querer por muchas personas.

Fue un esposo devoto y cariñoso para Micaela y un buen padre para sus hijos. Además de ser un miembro del personal, era un feligrés activo y generoso. Nuestro pésame y nuestras oraciones están con su familia y muchos amigos.

El sábado 2 de enero de 2021 escuchó a su Señor llamarlo a

casa: “Bien hecho, buen y fiel siervo. Ven y comparte la alegría de tu Maestro." Que descanse en paz.

LA ESQUINA DE LA SALUD MENTAL

Duelo y Pérdida

El duelo es un sufrimiento emocional intenso causado por una pérdida. El dolor y la pérdida son parte de la vida y la mayoría de nosotros los experimentamos en algún momento de la vida. El dolor es natural para los seres humanos y debe ser orgánico. Hoy en día, muchas personas están sufriendo durante la pandemia de COVID -19. El dolor es una respuesta normal a la pérdida después de la muerte de un ser querido. También puede suceder a través de un divorcio, pérdida de un trabajo, pérdida de una amistad, pérdida de apoyo. También puede ocurrir en respuesta a la pérdida de estabilidad cuando ocurren cambios drásticos en nuestras vidas. Como sociedad, todos estamos experimentamos un cambio drástico causado por la pandemia; por lo tanto, lamentamos nuestra normalidad. Y en medio de nuestra perdida, todavía podemos ser apoyo cuando otros lloran la muerte de un ser querido. Por lo tanto, es necesario identificar y respetar cada etapa del duelo, entendiendo que el duelo de cada persona es diferente.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, una psiquiatra suizo-estadounidense, sugirió en su libro, "On Death and Dying" cinco reacciones comunes o etapas de duelo que la mayoría de nosotros experimentamos cuando estamos de duelo,

*Negación *Ira *Negociación *Depresión *Aceptación

En su libro, " Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief,"

David Kessler sugiere el Sentido como la sexta etapa del

duelo.

¿Cómo ayudar cuando otros están en duelo?

♦ Evite rescatar o arreglar: La persona en duelo no

necesita que nadie la repare.

♦ Por favor, no force: Podemos creer que empujarlos a

hablar y procesar sus emociones ayudará, pero no es necesariamente cierto; la gente necesita su tiempo para prepararse para hablar.

♦ Hágase accesible: Ofrezca a las personas un espacio

para el duelo y hágale saber que usted está disponible cuando lo/la necesite.

Recuerde que cada persona afronta la pérdida de forma diferente. Si está en duelo, tómese un tiempo para procesar todas sus emociones. Cuando esté listo para hablar sobre todos sus sentimientos, busque a un amigo, un miembro de la familia, apoyo de la comunidad o un profesional de la salud mental para hablar sobre ello.

Sobre el Miedo a la Muerte

Por Rabindranath Tagore, Fruit-Gathering, 1916 Permítanme no rezar para estar protegido de los peligros,

sino para ser valiente al enfrentarlos. No me dejes suplicar por el alivio de mi dolor,

sino por un corazón para vencerlo.

Permítanme no buscar aliados en el campo de batalla de la vida, sino en mi propia fuerza.

Que no anhele ansiosamente ser salvo,

sino que espere tener paciencia para ganar mi libertad. Concédeme que no sea un cobarde,

sintiendo tu misericordia solo en mi éxito, pero déjame encontrar el agarre de tu mano en mi

fracaso.

Juan 1,35-42

Cuando Jesús cambió el nombre de Simón por el de Pedro, lo estaba llamando a ser un seguidor fuerte, como una piedra. El nuevo nombre de Pedro es parte de un llamado a convertirse en discípulo y a continuar la obra de Jesús. Posiblemente te pusieron tu nombre para honrar a un familiar o un santo. Jesús nos llama a que los demás reconozcan nuestro nombre por ser personas santas y llenas de amor.

Todos los bautizados témenos un llamado, un tipo de trabajo especial que Dios quiere que hagamos. A partir de tu Bautismo, tu vida ha sido dedicada a realizar la obra de Dios. Tu llamado puede ser diferente al de los demás, pero la misión es la misma: lograr que la gente conozca y ame a

MENTAL HEALTH CORNER

Grief & Loss

Grief is intense emotional suffering caused by loss. Grief and loss are part of life and are experienced by most of us at some point in life. Grief is natural to human beings and should be organic. Nowadays,

many people are experiencing grief during COVID-19 pandemic. Grief is a normal response to loss after a loved one's death. It can also happen through a divorce, loss of a job, loss of a friendship, loss of support. It can also occur in response to the loss of stability when drastic changes happen in our lives. As a society, we all experience a drastic change caused by the pandemic; therefore, we grieve our normalcy. And amid our loss, we can still be supportive when others mourn the death of a loved one. Consequently, it is necessary to identify and respect each stage of grief, understanding that each person's grief is different.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a swiss-American

psychiatrist, suggested in her book, "On Death and Dying" Five common reactions or stages of grief that most of us experience when grieving,

Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance

In his book, "Finding Meaning: The sixth Stage of Grief," David Kessler suggests Meaning as the sixth stage of grief.

How to help when others are grieving?

Avoid rescuing or fixing: The grieving person does not need anyone to repair her/him. Please do not force it: We may believe that pushing them to talk and process their emotions will help, but it is not necessarily true; people need their time to get ready to speak.

Make yourself accessible, offer people space to grieve, and let the person know that you are available when she/he needs you.

Remember that each person copes with loss

differently. If you are grieving, allow yourself time to process all of your emotions. When you are ready to talk about all your feelings, look for a friend, a family member, community support, or a mental health professional to talk about it.

On the Fear of Death

By Rabindranath Tagore, Fruit-Gathering, 1916 Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers

but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain

but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield

but to my own strength.

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom.

Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone, but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

Religious Education & Family Ministry

Reflection: The Church returns to Ordinary Time and the color green. During this season we celebrate the life and ministry of Christ and learn the meaning of living as his disciples.

This Sunday’s scripture passage shows how disciples seek the company of Jesus. Jesus is referred to as Rabbi, Teacher, Messiah, Christ, Lamb of God. These titles show the promises that God makes in sending his only Son Jesus. As we hear of Jesus’ healing and teaching, we can learn what it means to be daughters and sons of God. What does it take to be a follower of Jesus? How can we follow Jesus as a family? As a parish community?

Prayer Intention: Jesus, guide our words and actions so that others may get to know you as the Christ.

A man wakes up after sleeping under an ADVERTISED blanket on an ADVERTISED mattress and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth with ADVERTISED toothpaste washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes drinks a cup of ADVERTISED coffee drives to work in an ADVERTISED car and then . . . . refuses to ADVERTISE believing it doesn’t pay. Later if business is poor he ADVERTISES it for sale.
