KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HOSTED

Couples Dinner Following Mass in Craven Hall $25.00 PER COUPLE

Tickets will be sold following all Masses weekends of January 29th and February 4th. For more information, please contact a Knight or Paul McKinney at 256-558-2297.

In the Gospel today Jesus gives us the Beatitudes, which embody a radically alternative vision of life and we find that God indeed calls us to blessedness.

This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to proclaim the good news of the kingdom to the poor helping needy families by providing food, rent, and utility assis-tance.

Pope Francis on Civil Dialogue In situations apparently dominated by ha-

tred and violence, where families are sepa-rated by stone walls or the no less impene-

trable walls of prejudice and resentment, where there seem to be good reasons for saying “enough is enough”, it is only by blessing rather than cursing, by visiting rather than repelling, and by accepting rather than fighting, that we can break the spiral of evil, show that goodness

is always possible, and educate our children to fellowship. (1/23/15)

G ive your kids the best gift ever…parents with a great marriage! Both you and your children will see great

attentiveness, more awareness and renewed growth in your relationship after attending a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend. These results are like polishing silverware—just remove the tarnish to let the beauty shine through again! The next weekend in the dio-cese is scheduled in Cullman, March 24-27 at St. Bernard Abbey. You can get more informa-tion or register online at www.ALFL-wwme.org or by calling Bob & Joy Hernandez at 678-985-0125.

The Diocese of Birmingham invites men discerning Priesthood to a

Come and See Weekend

Esta semana recordamos la memoria de san Juan Bosco conocido como “Don Bosco”. Es curioso el apelativo de “Don” ya que es un título para nobles señores. En siglos pasa-dos era el título común para un sacerdote diocesano, mientras que el título hermano se reserva-ba para sacerdotes y hermanos religio-sos. En la Iglesia católi-ca existen dos clases de sa-cerdotes. Unos son diocesa-nos o seculares quienes dedi-can su vida a la diócesis a la que pertenecen. Estos sacerdo-tes hacen voto de celibato y obediencia al obispo local. El otro grupo de sacerdotes son los que pertenecen a órdenes religiosas. Ellos viven en co-

munidad y hacen votos de pobreza, celibato y obediencia a su comunidad. En muchas partes a todos los sacerdotes religiosos o diocesanos se les llama “padre”. Este título fue usado

en la Primera Iglesia y du-rante la Edad Media

para honrar a hom-bres santos, ya fue-ran laicos o sacerdo-

tes. Se les llamaba “padres” sólo cuando hab-ían llegado a mostrar, con

una larga vida, que podían animar a los demás con su buen ejemplo. Todos los sa-cerdotes debían vivir de tal manera que merecieran el título de padre, sin desearlo directamente. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

EL RESTO ELEGIDO Sofonías es uno de los profetas menos conocidos del Antiguo Testamento. Hoy habla en la primera lectura sobre el juicio inminente. Pero el Señor dejará un “resto” en Israel. Esta imagen de un resto, de lo que quedará, será vital para judíos y cristianos. La carta de Pablo a los corintios evidencia su profunda preocupación por los cristianos de allí. Están muy confiados, dice, muy seguros de sí mismos. Los insta a recordar que Cristo les ha dado todo lo que tienen. El Evangelio de hoy incluye el comienzo del “Gran Sermón” de Jesús. Así como Dios le dio a Moisés la Ley en el Sinaí, ahora Jesús reúne a sus discípulos en un monte para enseñarles la nueva Ley. Cada una de estas Bienaventuranzas contrasta la humillación del presente con la gloria del futuro. La pobreza frente a las riquezas del Reino de Dios, el hambre de Dios frente a la satisfacción en el Espíritu, la persecución frente al Reino de Dios. Jesús aquí está hablando al “resto” elegido de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
