NUESTRA PARROQUÍA www.hispanic-ministry.com 17 de enero. Segundo domingo de Tiempo Ordinario

El siervo sufriente Las lecturas y su mensaje Primera Lectura - Isaías 62:1-5 En el Segundo poema del Canto del Siervo, Isaías habla de un siervo misterioso que un día unirá a todo el pueb-lo de Dios y restaurará a Israel. Será una luz para las naciones y llevará la salvación de Dios a toda la humanidad. Segunda Lectura - 1 Corintios 12:4-11 Pablo se reconoce como llamado a ser apóstol. Indica que todos los que han sido llamados por Cristo están destinados a la santidad. Pablo les recuerda a los corinti-os que son parte de una realidad más grande que ellos mismos. No están separados del pueblo de Dios. Los corintios gastaban mucha energía en ocuparse de sus propios problemas. Pablo los llama a mirar a la realidad total. Lectura del Santo Evangelio según Juan 2:1-11 La imagen del cordero tiene su raíz en la cena de la Pas-cua, pero también tiene la connotación del carnero de Isaac, sacrificado en su lugar, y en los cantos del Siervo Sufriente, en la alusión al cordero sobre el que recaerán los pecados de muchos. Nuestra Cultura

L a idea de sacrificarse, que en tiempos modernos puede llegar a parecer extraña, es muy familiar en nuestra cultura. Las madres, sobre todo, se sacrifi-can por el bien de sus familias. Los padres trabajan

también por el bienestar de sus hijos. Es una convicción profunda de que ese sacrificio redundará en bien para otros y merece la pena. Para la reflexión ¿Por quién se siente amado sin condiciones? ¿A quién ama y por quién se sacrificaría sin límite ni medida? ¿Espera algo a cambio? † Nuestra Parroquia Biblical Reflections and Prayers For The Eight Days Next week you might consider making available to those in your area the Biblical Reflections and Prayers of eight days. Attached is a link to these documents. http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/weeks-prayer-doc/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_20150526_week-prayer-2016_en.html The Eclectics Thanks to all who supported our music fundraiser this past Friday.

When the human heart is burdened and heavy with guilt, God’s desire is to give us a new heart through the grace of conversion. With the help of the Spirit, we are given the strength to seek and trust God’s merciful forgiveness so that we might have a fresh and new start in our relationship with Him. Amen. CCC 1432
