MESSAGE FROM THE

ASSOCIATE PASTOR

A central part of Jesus’ ministry is healing those who

are sick or possessed by demons. Jesus brings

physical and spiritual healing to the people of his

time, restoring them to health of mind and body.

People followed Jesus wherever he went, and not

surprisingly, he

became very popular. Popularity and power aren’t

the only elements important to Jesus’ healing – faith

and service are also.

Miracles demonstrated Jesus’ divine power but also

had a less grandiose purpose. Miracles are the

moments when people see the needs of others and

use their gifts to respond.

In today’s gospel, Jesus sees a need

and responds to it at Peter’s home. Once Jesus

touches Peter’s mother-in-law, the fever leaves her,

and she starts to serve them. She responds with the

gifts she has and serves food to the guests. In doing

so, she is a model of servant ministry.

We, too, receive Jesus’ healing presence in our lives.

He lifts us from low places and presses us into

service. Jesus does not call us to stand still. He calls

us to serve others. The purpose of Jesus’ healing is

to help us focus on a world larger than ourselves.

Jesus makes us whole so we can find ways to serve

others freely, with gratitude and love. How will you

serve others this week?

Fr. Robert Ni Ni, MF

First Reading — Job finds life on earth to be drudgery; he

is filled with restlessness (Job 7:1-4, 6-7).

Psalm — Praise the Lord, who heals the brokenhearted

(Psalm 147).

Second Reading — Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.

I have become all things to all, to save at least some

(1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23).

Gospel Reading - — Jesus cured many who were sick with

various diseases (Mark 1:29-39).

READINGS FOR TODAY

Associate Pastor

The Gospel of Mark, unlike those of Matthew and Luke,

has no infancy narrative, nor does it have a lengthy prologue to

introduce it, as John’s Gospel does. In Mark’s account, one

could say, Jesus hits the ground running. The stories we’ve

been hearing these weeks come from the very first chapter of

Mark, and they show us the public ministry of Jesus in its

infancy. Today’s account shows some of the strain or

adjustment of his new life of preaching the reign of God, healing

the sick, and casting out demons. Notice that after sunset,

when darkness ended the workday, people brought the sick

and possessed to Jesus. The following day he rose before

dawn to get away by himself to pray, but to no avail. Simon

Peter and the others don’t just look for him, they pursue him,

filled with the fervor that his ministry has incited. With the self-

sacrificing example he gave until the end of his earthly life, he

tells his followers that this is his whole purpose. Through Mark,

he is also telling the early church, and he is telling us, that this

is our purpose, our vocation: to be tireless in our pursuit of

proclaiming the Good News, and in bringing the healing,

reconciling touch of Christ to the world.

Prima Lectura — Job declara que la vida en la tierra es

monótona, miserable y triste (Job 7:1-4, 6-7).

Salmo — Alaben al Señor, que sana los corazones

quebrantados (Salmo 147 [146]).

Segunda Lectura — Pablo dice que no tienen otra

alternativa sino la de predicar el Evangelio

(1 Corintios 9:16-19, 22-23).

Evangelio — Después de sanar a muchos enfermos y

de expulsar a los demonios, Jesús predica la

Buena Nueva (Marcos 1:29-39).

LECTURAS DE HOY Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Hermanasy hermanos: Es interesante el origen de la palabra

"enfermedad". El que está "in-firmus" es el que "no está firme".

Esta etimología corresponde con sensaciones que

probablemente todos asociamos con la enfermedad: debilidad,

indefensión, sufrimiento, angustia, tristeza. El libro de Job

expresa este sentir con imágenes muy vivas: desengaño,

noches de dolor y pesadillas, impotencia ante el tiempo que se

precipita en una vorágine sin sentido, depresión intensa. Jesús

aparece como el gran médico en el evangelio de hoy. Si la

enfermedad nos lleva a tocar el fondo de nuestra debilidad, la

sanación de Cristo nos lleva a experimentar la "debilidad" de

Dios por los débiles. De este modo, allí donde el ser humano

encuentra la verdad de su contingencia y de su fragilidad allí

también encuentra la verdad del amor inconmensurable de

Dios, pues la debilidad de Dios son los débiles.

La dedicación de Cristo a los enfermos se ha extendido en la

historia de diversas maneras, y entre ellas hemos de recordar

con gratitud a tantas obras de misericordia que alivian de

muchos modos los dolores del mundo. Hospitales, orfanatos,

ancianatos, hogares de paso, atención a refugiados o

desplazados... en todos ellos se puede sentir la caricia del Hijo

de Dios, y la eficacia de su amor que marca una diferencia en

la vida de millones de personas.

Y cabe aquí una relación con la segunda lectura. Pablo, con

ardor ejemplar se entrega a evangelizar. Lo siente como un

deber vinculante, intransferible, inaplazable. Y dice: "me he

hecho débil con los débiles, para ganar a los débiles" (1 Cor

9,22). De aquí aprendemos dos cosas: primera, que pertenece

a la misión del evangelizador una participación en los dolores

de los evangelizados. Ejemplo supremo de ello nuestro Señor

Jesucristo en su Cruz de dolores.Segunda enseñanza: el amor

se muestra en la capacidad de adaptación. El amor no

desfallece ante un "no"; no se detiene por una derrota; siempre

está ideando formas nuevas, caminos nuevos, sendas no

exploradas, posibilidades inéditas. Es... creativo, esencialmente

optimista, incapaz de rendirse.

Les deseo de todo Corazon una excelente semana.

El Evangelio según san Marcos, a diferencia del de

Mateo y Lucas, no tiene un relato sobre el nacimiento de

Jesús, ni tiene un extenso prólogo a modo de introducción,

a diferencia del Evangelio según san Juan. En el relato

según san Marcos, se podría decir que Jesús nace adulto.

Los relatos que hemos oído estas semanas provienen del

primer capítulo de san Marcos y nos muestran el ministerio

público de Jesús en sus comienzos. El relato de hoy

muestra parte de la tensión y los cambios de su nueva vida

que consistía en predicar el Reino de Dios, curar a los

enfermos y expulsar a los demonios. Observa que después

del atardecer, cuando caía el sol y terminaba la jornada

laboral, las personas llevaban a los enfermos y poseídos a

Jesús. Al día siguiente se levantó antes del amanecer para

retirarse sólo a rezar, pero no tuvo suerte. Simón Pedro y

los demás no solo lo buscan sino que lo persiguen con el

fervor que su ministerio ha incitado. Con la misma entrega

ejemplar que demostró hasta el final de su vida en la tierra,

les dice a sus seguidores que éste es su propósito. Por

medio de Marcos, también le dice a la nueva iglesia y nos

dice a nosotros que éste es nuestro propósito, nuestra

vocación: ser incansables en nuestra lucha por proclamar

la Buena Nueva y llevar el toque curador y reconciliador

de Cristo al mundo.

STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE

FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

“Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed…He told them,

‘Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.’”

- Mark 1:35, 38

In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship. Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes - healing the sick and preaching. But

before He begins, Jesus makes time to be alone with God in prayer. It is through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to do what He

wishes us to do. Be sure to find time every day to be with God.

A HUGE MAHALO FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND MAY

GOD MULTIPLY YOUR BLESSINGS!!!

? FATHER DREXEL RAMOS, DIOCESAN PRIEST: THE LOVE OF GOD KEEPS ME GOING

01/20/2021 BY HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD

VIRIDITAS: SOUL GREENING

Interviewed by Sister Malia Dominica Wong, OP Hawaii Catholic Herald

It is the love I have for Jesus Christ that is the reason why I am here. This love begins in the family. From the moment I was born until I was all grown up, I really experienced the love and care of my parents. They raised my siblings and me to be prayerful, going to Mass at least every Sunday. Seeing the witness of my parents, grandparents and relatives in their love for God, probably started my vocation. I desire to share this love with the community and others.

One of the things I have learned in coming to Hawaii is how to be independent. In the Philippines, priests are spoiled. We have

workers on our left and right to do things for us. When I first arrived at Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish in Kula, Maui, I was a bit scared.

It was hard at the beginning staying alone in the rectory and doing all the chores like cooking, washing and cleaning by myself. “Oh! My

goodness!” I exclaimed. This was part of the life of being a missionary priest that I needed to accept. In accepting assignments with

generosity in one’s heart, adjustments come easier. Over time, I became more independent with myself and this I wish to carry with me

when I return to the Philippines.

I enjoyed my three months in Kula with its missions. Bishop Larry had assigned me there until the administrator who was going to

take over the place, La Salette Father Adondee Arellano, arrived after his vacation. After that, I moved to St. Joseph Parish in Makawao

where I was the parochial vicar for two years. St. Joseph’s Feast ran for three days, one day longer than that of the Feast of the Holy Ghost.

Then, Bishop Larry asked me if I could go to St. Mary Parish in Hana with its missions where I spent another two years. I have good

memories of ministering on Maui.

The missionary spirit was instilled in me by the SVD (Divine Word Missionaries). In my younger years, I saw their sacrifice and

how they offered themselves to the community they were serving. Being foreigners, they adjusted themselves immersing themselves into

the life of our place. The spirit of mission is that when you go to another place, you need to live as others live to be an effective pastor.

When I was in Hana, I hiked, played tennis on my day off, and there were times the community even invited me for fishing. So I joined them

in their way of life.

I would like to thank Bishop Larry for giving me this opportunity to serve, for his confidence and support. I would also like to thank

my brother priests for their support. I felt the brotherhood with the clergy here, especially during our retreat and convocation. There was a

feeling of unity and joy when we gathered together to share our experiences. Last, I would like to thank the people of Hawaii, especially

those I had the opportunity to serve. Thank you for your love, support and generosity. I was prayerful before, but with your support and

joining in of the many spiritual activities held, I feel my prayer life has increased. Hopefully, I can come and visit again, this beautiful place

with beautiful people.

Father Drexel Ramos is a diocesan priest from the Diocese of Bangued, Philippines. He is 16 years ordained. He is the eldest of

two brothers and a sister. He will return to his home diocese in January.
