Saint Canera, patroness of Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat with an oil lamp, the symbol of wisdom and virginity, with a monastery on an island in the background where she sought spiritual rest. She was

refused entrance to the island but was given Eu-charist just before she died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

Oración de Comunión Espiritual

Jesús mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento.

Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma.

Como en este momento no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente,

Ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí,

y unirme totalmente a ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.

Amén.

R E F L E X I Ó N

Preparamos cada día para el final de nuestra vida terrenal.

Existe una antigua práctica de reflexión sobre la mortalidad que se remonta a Sócrates: Memento Mori, o Recuerda, eres mortal. Las Escrituras de hoy son perfectas para la práctica espiritual cris-tiana de pensar en nuestra vida y, finalmente, en la muerte, un recordatorio de que nuestro objeti-vo final en la fe es vivir con Dios después de esta vida. La conciencia de nuestra propia mortalidad debería impulsarnos a actuar con rectitud todos los días.

Por orden de Dios, Jonás va a Nínive, profetizan-do destrucción. Los ciudadanos de Nínive se arrepienten y se salvan. San Pablo insta a los co-rintios a actuar de una manera que refleje que es-te mundo pasará. En el Evangelio, Jesús llega a Galilea, proclamando que ha llegado el momento del cumplimiento y que todos deben arrepentirse y creer en el Evangelio. Los apóstoles Simón, Andrés, Santiago y Juan dejan sus vidas como pescadores para seguirlo.

Exploring the Word of God from the Other Side Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)

January 24, 2021

Reading I Jonah 3:1-5, 10

The word of the LORD came to Jonah, saying: “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and an-nounce to it the message that I will tell you.” So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, ac-cording to the LORD’S bidding. Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah be-gan his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be de-stroyed,” when the people of Nineveh be-lieved God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw by their actions how they

turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

Do you think that the “Jonah” story was writ-ten for the child in us? Well, I do! Two parts have convinced me: 1) Jonah was believed by the people of Nineveh after the FIRST DAY! Only the “child in us” would need for the story to move that fast! Children can’t “wait around” to see what’s going to happen….we need to know “NOW”! Another insight: “The people of Nineveh “believed God.”----It doesn’t say “Believed IN God”! Little folks don’t believe in their par-ents—they “believe their parents.” What if we stopped “believing in” God—and started to “believe GOD”? Is there any possibil-ity that our lives will change if we change the context of our faith-system? The “child-in-us” might feel more at home in that faith arrange-ment! Will we have to pay closer attention to what comes into our lives? I think “YES”! Mystical experiences are EVERYWHERE! Someone at the grocery store buys our groceries for us; the Eucharistic Minister gives us the Eucharist say-ing “Receive the Body and Blood of Christ…and

BE THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST FOR OTHERS TODAY” A casual conversa-tion “takes us back” to something our mother told us years ago. You see: a mystical experience is one that happens right now—but also propels us back to the future. A mystical experience opens us to the graces we missed in the past AND the ones we’ve yet to experience in the future. A mystical experience challenges us to speak reverently of the way “walks” in our life today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

A mystical experience Invites us to

BELIEVE GOD….Don’t be afraid—take yourself back to God!

Don’t be afraid…..God loves you!!!

And, so do I! Sr. Diane Langford, CDP

Diocesan Stewardship Message There is a certain urgency in today’s Gospel as Jesus calls His first disciples – Andrew and Si-mon, James and John. Each one follows Jesus im-mediately, unhesitatingly abandoning nets and boats and father and fellow-workers. To what is Jesus calling me - at this moment, in these circum-stances? What will I need to abandon in order to follow Him?

Spiritual Communion Prayer

With spiritual communion, Jesus will give us the graces that we need this moment to be faithful to our mission of being witnesses of the Love of God before all men. Let us pray…..

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I de-sire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
