Wednesday Adoration. We cannot leave the sacrament exposed and unattended. Please call the office and sign up to spend an hour with our

Lord each Wednesday from 8:30am to noon. We will continue to have Adoration on First Friday’s

as long as there is participation. Wednesday Adoration will be suspended unless the

hours from 8:30 am to noon are covered. He’s waiting for you.

You’re are invited to attend the

Prayer and Life Workshop. Come and experience how different methods of

prayer can transform your life and give you peace of mind and heart that can only come from God.

This Workshop will be held every Tuesday morning beginning February 7 at 9:30—11:30

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — You humble of the land, seek justice and humility, and the Lord will be your protection (Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13). Psalm — Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is theirs! (Psalm 146). Second Reading — God chose the weak of the world, those who count for nothing, so that whoever boasts should boast in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:26-31). Gospel — Jesus taught from the mountain: Blessed are the poor in spirit (Matthew 5:1-12a). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, Interna-tional Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

THE CHOSEN REMNANT Zephaniah is one of the least-known of the Old Testa-ment prophets. He speaks in today’s first reading of impend-ing judgment. But the Lord will leave a “remnant” in Israel. This image of a remnant, or remainder, was to become vital to both Judaism and Christianity. Paul’s letter to Corinth makes obvious his deep concern for the Christians there. They are too self-confident, he says, too sure of themselves. He admonishes them to remember that Christ has given them all they have. Today’s Gospel comprises the opening of Jesus’ “Great Sermon.” As God gave Moses the law on Sinai, so now Jesus gathers his disciples on a hillside to teach them the new law. Each of these Beatitudes contrasts the humiliation of the present with the glory of the future: poverty vs. the riches of God’s kingdom, hunger for holiness vs. fulfillment in the Spirit, persecution vs. the reign of God. Jesus is here speaking to God’s chosen “remnant.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Yo dejaré en medio de ti, pueblo mío, un puñado de gente pobre y humilde; entonces serán como el rebaño que pasta y que descansa, y no habrá quién los perturbe (Sofonías 2:3; 3:12-13). Salmo — ¡Dichosos los pobres de espíritu, porque de ellos es el Reino de los cielos! (Salmo 146) Segunda lectura — Es por la gracia de Dios que ustedes moran en Jesucristo. “El que se gloría, que se gloríe en el Señor” (1 Corintios 1:26-31). Evangelio — Dichosos los pobres de espíritu; alégrense y salten de contento, porque su premio será grande en los cielos (Mateo 5:1-12a). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical © 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados.

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 Ser-món” de Jesús. Así como Dios le dio a Moisés la Ley en el Si-naí, ahora Jesús reúne a sus discípulos en un monte para en-señarles la nueva Ley. Cada una de estas Bienaventuranzas con-trasta 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.
