Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 21, 2012

Through his suffering, my servant shall jus fy many. — Isaiah 53:11b

THE HUMANITY OF JESUS CHRIST All three readings today support—each in its own way, of course—a reflection on the humanity of Jesus Christ and how that humanity played a key role in the drama of our salvation. Although not chosen specifically to coordinate with the other two readings, today’s second reading does in fact carry forward the theme of Christ’s humanity in a remarkable way. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews highlights the solidarity that exists between Jesus and us, precisely because in his human nature Jesus has known the same sufferings and testing that are our own experience. Because he can “sympathize with our weaknesses,” we can “approach the throne

of grace to receive mercy.” For the author of Hebrews, the humanity of Jesus was an essential requirement for his redemptive death, as well as an invitation to us to find in Jesus someone with whom we can identify in our daily struggles. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

“MISSIONARIES OF FAITH” Today is World Mission Sunday. We are called to this Eucharistic cele-bration – along with Catholics in every parish, chapel and church through-out the world – to fulfill the call we first heard at Baptism, the call to be missionaries, to share our faith. On World Mission Sunday, we are called in a special way to be “missionaries of faith” through prayer and participa-tion in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection. Let us pray especially at this Mass for all who long to hear the hope-filled,

saving message of Jesus, and for the priests, religious and lay catechists in mission countries world-wide who offer them that “Good News.”

PLEASE BE GENEROUS IN TODAY’S COLLECTION. Thank you!

How would you like to spend your time helping women who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy?

It has been so rewarding helping Moms choose life for their babies and helping them through their pregnancies and seeing the joy in their faces when their babies arrive. LifeChoices Women’s Care, a pregnancy resource clinic, welcomes more helping hands and loving hearts to serve as Client Advocates in service to women in need. The Center is open on Mondays 10 am – 6:30 pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays 10 am – 4 pm. We also are looking for volunteer nurses and ultrasound tech-nicians who can assist at the clinic. The clinic is ½ mile north of County Line Road at 1527 Dale Mabry Highway, Suite 101, Lutz – across from the Walmart Supercenter. Call Micki at (813) 948-7734 or email [email protected].

Natural Family Planning or, as many simply call it, "NFP" is a holistic and healthy way of planning a family. Essentially, it is the ability to monitor fertility and to modify behaviors according to the intention of either achieving or avoiding pregnancy. Come to a free one on one introductory ses-sion conducted by Linda Holt, RN, FCPI at LifeChoices Women’s Care, 1527 Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite 101, Lutz, FL 33548. Daytime and evening sessions can be held by call-ing Linda directly at (813) 493-1330.

Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

21 de octubre de 2012 Con sus sufrimientos justificará mi siervo a muchos.

— Isaías 53:11b

Muchas diócesis aquí en Estados Unidos no cuentan con suficientes sacerdotes para prestar servicios en las parroquias más pobres. Estas diócesis, clasificadas como diócesis misioneras, no pueden responder a las necesidades especiales de sus comunidades parroquiales. El Llamado para las Misiones Católicas apoya a estas

diócesis financiando los ministerios más esenciales, incluyendo la educación de seminaristas y la capacitación de los ministros laicos. Por favor, contribuyan generosamente a este Llamado y ayuden a fortalecer la Iglesia en casa.

SOBRE PARA EL DÍA DE LOS DIFUNTOS El viernes, 2 de noviembre es el Día de los Difuntos. Por favor devuelva el sobre lo más pronto posible! Es importante que usted escriba

los nombres de los difuntos de su familia y amigos que usted quiere que oren por ellos durante el mes de noviembre.

MISA EN RECUERDO DE LOS FIELES DIFUNTOS

El sábado, 3 de noviembre, a las 8:30AM celebraremos una Misa en Recuerdo de nuestros difuntos y una Ceremonia de Encender una Vela por nuestros seres queridos que ya son parte de la comunión de los santos. En esta Ceremonia queremos reconocer especialmente aquellos que perdieron a un familiar el pasado año y tuvieron los servicios religiosos en nuestra parroquia. Si usted quiere participar en esta Misa especial y en la Ceremonia, por favor RSVP al 813-885-7861 lo antes posible.

Domingo 29 Tiempo Ordinario. 21 de Octubre 2012 Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Celebramos en este Domingo 29 del tiempo ordinario un día entrañable para todos nosotros; celebramos la Jornada Mun-dial de las Misiones. El "Domund" nos trae cada año un nue-vo aliento de universalidad y nos ayuda a pensar en países lejanos y en el trabajo que allá realizan miles de misioneros y misioneras, cristianos de nuestra misma Iglesia. Recorda-mos su compromiso con la justicia y la liberación integral de los pueblos del Tercer Mundo y nos dejamos impactar por su valiente testimonio que a veces les lleva hasta la muerte violenta. En el evangelio de este domingo, Jesús nos ha dicho: “El Hijo del hombre no ha venido para ser servido", sino para servir y dar su vida como rescate por muchos". Él quiere y puede satisfacer las más íntimas esperanzas de la humanidad. Todos los cristianos somos misioneros. Anunciar el evangelio es una tarea confiada por Jesucristo a los apóstoles y a to-dos los cristianos. Este gozoso anuncio debemos darlo noso-tros aquí trabajando en la "nueva evangelización" de nues-tros hermanos que se han olvidado de Él y que siguen te-niendo derecho a conocerle y amarle. Es necesario -y hemos de decirlo hoy de una manera muy clara- que millones de hombres y mujeres que aún desconocen a Jesucristo pue-dan recibir el anuncio de su evangelio. El conocimiento del Señor les llevará a descubrir su dignidad de hijos amados del Padre, llamados a compartir la gloria de Jesús, el Hijo de Dios. Movida por el Espíritu Santo, la Iglesia envía misione-ros a los pueblos lejanos con el encargo de ofrecerles la Buena Nueva, respetando sus culturas y la conciencia de cada persona. Así, los diferentes pueblos, especialmente los del Tercer Mundo, podrán realizar y vivir en plenitud su vo-cación humana, social y eterna. Los misioneros anuncian a Jesús, reúnen a los creyentes y así se va construyendo la Iglesia que promueve los valores del Reino de Dios en todo el mundo. Los mismos misioneros, a semejanza de Jesucristo, no tienen miedo de dar su vida por aquellos a quienes sirven. Los misioneros realizan una gran tarea de Iglesia en tierras de misión. Nosotros, desde nuestros lugares, les hemos de imitar evangelizando a nues-tros hermanos descristianizados. Pero debemos también interesarnos y cooperar en la misión universal de la Iglesia, para que el mensaje de la Buena Nueva de nuestro Señor Jesucristo llegue a hombres y mujeres de los países lejanos que tienen el mismo derecho que nosotros de conocerlo, amarlo y seguirlo. P. Jairo

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Además de ser el Mes del Rosario, octubre es el Mes de las misiones porque fue durante este mes en 1492 que el terciario franciscano Cristóbal Colón trajo los primeros cristianos al continente americano. También lo es porque varios santos misioneros como Francisco de Asís, Pablo de la Cruz, y santas relacionadas con las misiones, como Teresita del Niño Jesús, son conmemorados durante este mes. Uno de estos santos, Antonio María Claret, fue obispo de Cuba de 1850 a 1857. También fue fundador de los Hijos Misioneros del Corazón Inmaculado de María (Claretianos). El fundó su orden basando su afán por la misión de Cristo en los santos Evangelios. Recomendaba que los cristianos debemos leer el Evangelio cada día para disponernos al servicio del Señor. Un misionero no necesariamente es la persona que deja su nación para predicar el Evangelio a otros pueblos. El verdadero misionero es aquella persona que une su vida a la misión de Jesús, viviendo el Evangelio ya sea en su hogar, su trabajo, su parroquia o, si Dios así lo pide, en otras tierras. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos�Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Ya que él ofreció su vida como sacrificio por el pecado, el proyecto de Dios prosperará en sus manos (Isaías 53:10-11). Salmo — Muéstrate bondadoso con nosotros, Señor (Salmo 33 [32]). Segunda lectura — Porque tenemos un sumo sacerdote que ha sido probado en todo, a excepción del pecado, acerquémonos con plena confianza al Dios de bondad (Hebreos 4:14-16). Evangelio — El sentarse a su derecha o a su izquierda no le corresponde concederlo a él, dice Jesús a Santiago y Juan. El Hijo del Hombre ha venido a servir y a dar su vida como rescate por una muchedumbre (Marcos 10:35-45 [42-45]).
