WORKS OF MERCY: SPIRITUAL
The Spiritual Works of Mercy have long been a part of the Christian tradition, appearing in the works
of theologians and spiritual writers throughout history. Just as Jesus attended to the spiritual well-
being of those he ministered to, these Spiritual Works of Mercy guide us to "help our neighbor in
their spiritual needs" (USCCA).
Suggestions for how you might incorporate the Spiritual Works of Mercy into your month in
observation of the Year of Mercy are listed below.
COUNSEL THE DOUBTFUL: Follow Christ with the witness of your life so that others may see God's love revealed in your actions. Accompany a friend who is struggling with believing to join a parish group for service or faith formation. INSTRUCT THE IGNORANT: Learn about our faith and be open to talking with others about our beliefs. There is always something more to discover about our faith. ADMONISHING THE SINNER: Do not judge, but be supportive in helping others find their way and correct their mistakes. Together we can learn to walk more closely with Christ. COMFORTING THE SORROWFUL: Lend a listening ear to those going through a tough time; make a home cooked meal for a friend going through a hard time. FORGIVING INJURIES: Let go of grudges; participate in the Sacrament of Penance; saying “sorry” transforms hearts and lives. BEARING ARMS PATIENTLY: Do not be bitter about wrongs done against you. Place your hope in God so that you can endure the troubles of this world and face them with a compassionate spirit. PRAYING FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD: Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can support others. Joining together in prayer for the living and the dead entrusts us all into God's care; Keep your own book of prayer intentions, writing down the names of those who you are keeping in your prayers.
Conversion: Following the Call of Christ Adult Faith Sharing Experience Continued during Lent
Feb. 16, Feb, 23 and Mar. 1 from 7:15 PM – 9 PM
When you hear the word “Conversion,” what comes to mind? Catholicism defines “conversion” as a life-long process of turning one’s attention and energy toward an ever-deepening relationship with Christ. Join us as we continue the DVD-based program, Conversion: Following the Call of Christ, presented by Bishop Robert Barron during Lent. Using three stories from the Bible, Bishop Barron demonstrates how ordinary, sinful people like us are met by Jesus and called to a better life through him. Register online or contact Jan at [email protected] or ext 253.
On Feb. 2, 2016 we will celebrate the 7th Anniversary of Father George as our Pastor.
Please remember him in your prayers. Our parish is blessed to be shepherded by Father George!
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
25th, 50th, 60th and 75th Anniversary Celebration
Since Valentine’s Day falls during the season of Lent this year, we will postpone our celebration of couples celebrating “special” anniversaries this year to Sunday, in early April at the 10:30 AM Mass. If you or someone in your family is celebrating a special wedding anniversary in 2016, please let us know. Contact Jan at [email protected] or ext 253.
PRAYER
Feast of the Purification of the Lord – Tuesday, February 2
Forty days after Christmas, we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord at the Temple. The event is described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 2:22–40). According to the gospel, Mary and Joseph took the baby Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after his birth to complete Mary's ritual purification after childbirth, and to perform the redemption of the firstborn, in obedience to the Law of Moses. Luke explicitly says that Joseph and Mary take the option provided for poor people (those who could not afford a lamb), sacrificing "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." The practice of blessing candles on that day is rooted in the life of Jesus. Forty days after his birth, Jesus was blessed by the priest in the temple (Luke 2: 22-40). The candles represent Jesus as the true light to the nations and honor his sacrifice for us. The blessed beeswax candles are used throughout the year and special candles are blessed and used on the feast day of St. Blaise, for the blessing of throats. (Throats will be blessed on February 3, the feast of St. Blaise, and at the weekend liturgies, February 6-7). We invite you to participate in Mass on February 2 (8:30 AM and 12:10 PM) and to bring a candle from your home to be blessed at the beginning of Mass then lit throughout the year as a reminder of the light of Christ which burns in our hearts and homes.

DAILY READINGS
THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10 Ezra gathered the people and read to them from the book of the Law of God. He interpreted the law clearly, so that everyone understood what he had read. He then told them to go and rejoice in the Lord. Second Reading: I Corinthians 12:12-30 Paul explains that a body is composed of many different parts, and that each part has its' own purpose and is important. He compares this to the Church, describing how we are one body composed of many members. All members should show concern for each other and understand that we are all vital to the body as a whole. Gospel: Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21 Luke discusses his decision to write about the events he and the other disciples had witnessed. He begins by telling of Jesus reading a passage from the book of Isaiah, where the anointed one is portrayed. Jesus finished by telling the people that they had seen that passage fulfilled in their hearing.

SERVICE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS OF MADISON/FLORHAM PARK
The Knights are holding an information session on Tuesday, January 26 from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Media Room/School Library. This being in accordance with the wonderful response they received after each mass this past weekend. All are welcome to come and learn about the organization and have any questions answered. The Knights look forward to meeting you.
A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE In today's gospel Jesus was "praised by all" except at home in Nazareth where the "eyes of all were intently on him." Acceptance can be hard to find at home due to unreal EXPECTATIONS. Jesus challenges us to
"proclaim liberty" to anyone "oppressed" or "captive" by our EXPECTATIONS.

Tercer Domino del Tiempo Ordinario
Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Primera Lectura: Neh. 8, 2-4ª. 5-6. 8-10 En aquellos días, Esdras, el sacerdote, trajo el libro de la ley ante la asamblea, formada por los hombres, las mujeres y todos los que tenían uso de razón. Era el día primero del mes séptimo, y Esdras leyó desde el amanecer hasta el mediodía, en la plaza que está frente a la puerta del Agua, en presencia de los hombres, las mujeres y todos los que tenían uso de razón. Todo el pueblo estaba atento a la lectura del libro de la ley. Esdras estaba de pie sobre un estrado de madera, levantado para esta ocasión. Esdras abrió el libro a la vista del pueblo, pues estaba en un sitio más alto que todos, y cuando lo abrió, el pueblo entero se puso de pie. Esdras bendijo entonces al Señor, el gran Dios, y todo el pueblo, levantando las manos, respondió: “¡Amén!”, e inclinándose, se postraron rostro en tierra. Los levitas leían el libro de la ley de Dios con claridad y explicaban el sentido, de suerte que el pueblo comprendía la lectura. Entonces Nehemías, el gobernador, Esdras, el sacerdote y escriba, y los levitas que instruían a la gente, dijeron a todo el pueblo: “Éste es un día consagrado al Señor, nuestro Dios. No estén ustedes tristes ni lloren (porque
todos lloraban al escuchar las palabras de la ley). Vayan a comer espléndidamente, tomen bebidas dulces y manden algo a los que nada tienen, pues hoy es un día consagrado al Señor, nuestro Dios. No estén tristes, porque celebrar al Señor es nuestra fuerza”. Segunda Lectura: 1Cor 12, 12-14.27 Hermanos: Así como el cuerpo es uno y tiene muchos miembros y todos ellos, a pesar de ser muchos, forman un solo cuerpo, así también es Cristo. Porque todos nosotros, seamos judíos o no judíos, esclavos o libres, hemos sido bautizados en un mismo Espíritu, para formar un solo cuerpo, y a todos se nos ha dado a beber del mismo Espíritu. Ustedes son el cuerpo de Cristo y cada uno es un miembro de él. Evangelio San Lucas 1, 1-4. 4, 14-21 Muchos han tratado de escribir la historia de las cosas que pasaron entre nosotros, tal y como nos las trasmitieron los que las vieron desde el principio y que ayudaron en la predicación. Yo también, ilustre Teófilo, después de haberme informado minuciosamente de todo, desde sus principios, pensé escribírtelo por orden, para que veas la verdad de lo que se te ha enseñado. (Después de que Jesús fue tentado por el demonio en el desierto), impulsado por el Espíritu, volvió a Galilea. Iba enseñando en las sinagogas; todos lo alababan y su fama se extendió por toda la región. Fue también a Nazaret, donde se había criado. Entró en la sinagoga, como era su costumbre hacerlo los sábados, y se levantó para hacer la lectura. Se le dio el volumen del profeta Isaías, lo desenrolló y encontró el pasaje en que estaba escrito: El espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido para llevar a los pobres la buena nueva, para anunciar la liberación a los cautivos y la curación a los ciegos, para dar libertad a los oprimidos y proclamar el año de gracia del Señor. Enrolló el volumen, lo devolvió al encargado y se sentó. Los ojos de todos los asistentes a la sinagoga estaban fijos en él. Entonces comenzó a hablar, diciendo: “Hoy mismo se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura que acaban de oír”. Para tener en cuenta!
Recuerden que después del tiempo de verano, la Misa en español se estará
celebrando los sábados a las 7 pm
Para tener en cuenta! A partir del 16 de febrero tendremos una series llamadas “Coversion series” apropiadas para la cuaresma; estaremos reflexionando acerca de la importancia de la conversión. Hora: 7:15 pm. Esperemos que nos acompañen, la parroquia brindara todos los materiales para la reflexión.
Los Sacramentos
Reconciliación (Confesiones): Todos los Sábados a las 4:00pm o haciendo una cita con uno de los sacerdotes, ya sea llamando a la oficina o hablando con ellos directamente o antes de la Misa en Español.
Unción de los Enfermos:

Para administrar este Sacramento; Favor de llamar a la oficina de la parroquia para que uno de los sacerdotes administre la Unción de los enfermos.
Cursillo Pre-Bautismal en español: Llamando a la
oficina y planear una cita con el sacerdote.
El Domingo de Nuestra Liberación
“Cuando Jesús, en la Sinagoga de Nazaret, tras leer la profecía de Isaías, dice que todo se cumple en Él, está anunciando a sus paisanos que es la liberación para el género humano. Los de Nazaret no le hicieron caso. Pero parece que tampoco nosotros nos tomamos en serio esa capacidad de Jesús de Nazaret para librarnos de todo lo malo que tenemos dentro, de nuestros miedos, odios y codicias. Y ahí nos equivocamos muy gravemente. Jesús es nuestra liberación. Si le seguimos veremos su Verdad y esa Verdad nos hará libres para siempre. El papa Francisco ha querido condensar todo ese camino de Jesús de Nazaret convocando el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia para que durante ese tiempo los seguidores de Jesús sepamos amar más y más a nuestros hermanos y tenerlos a toda hora en nuestro corazón”.
