NO St. Ambrose Crab Fest This Year
From the San Francisco Chronicle, December 27th, 2015:
The Dungeness crab season was closed due to an unprecedented algae bloom
that infected the crustaceans with domoic acid, which causes illness and death in humans.
The domoic acid is slowly waning, but the outlook for crabbers and diners is unclear.

LIVING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most be-loved imagery is contained in the passages from First Corinthians that we have heard last week and this week: the many gifts granted by the one same Spirit and the many members making up the one Body of Christ. Few passages from sacred scripture more accurately sum up how Christian vocations work together. Unlike some of Paul’s other writings, which are a product of the social and religious conventions of his time, these enable us to look at our own lives and the lives of those around us to discern what gifts, what vocations the Holy Spirit has given for the good of all. We can likewise know the joys and sor-rows of the other members of the Body and share in them for the strengthening of the whole Body of Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LA VIDA DEL CUERPO DE CRISTO Algunas de las imágenes más conocidas y queri-das de san Pablo se encuentran en los pasajes de la primera carta a los corintios que hemos escuchado la semana pasada y hoy: los muchos dones de un mis-mo Espíritu y los muchos miembros que componen el Cuerpo de Cristo. Pocos pasajes de la Sagrada Escritura resumen con mayor claridad cómo las vo-caciones cristianas trabajan en colaboración. A diferencia de otros escritos de san Pablo, pro-ducto de las convenciones sociales y religiosas de su época, estos nos permiten mirar nuestra propia vida y la vida de los que están a nuestro alrededor para discernir los dones, la vocación que el Espíritu San-to nos ha dado para el bien de todos. Así también podemos conocer las alegrías y las penas de los otros miembros del Cuerpo y compartirlos para así fortalecer todo el Cuerpo de Cristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
