Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

February 19, 2017

Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy. — Leviticus 19:2b

Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Daily Prayer For Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests; For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests; For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: The priest who baptized me; The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me; All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially_________). O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity. Amen By St. Therese of Lisieux

Our Mission St. Charles is a Christ focused, diverse, family centered, Catholic community serving Imperial Beach and the South Bay. We believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and His saving grace received through the Sacraments. We believe in the Holy Catholic Church instituted by Jesus, the sanctity of life, the value of family, and lifelong Catholic education for all ages. We live to deepen our love of God, spread His Gospel and bring others to Christ. We are committed to a life of prayer, sacrifice, and service to those in need. With love, humility, and joyful obedience, we strive to be transformed and guided by the Holy Spirit until we are transformed in the eternal life of Heaven.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In brushing up for “Catholic Jeopardy,” it might help to know that there is only one feast on the calendar for a thing, rather than a person or mystery. It’s for a chair: Saint Peter’s chair in fact After the Resurrection, there can be no doubt that the disciples reserved a special place for Simon Peter in the upper room. Later, Peter became the bishop of Antioch in today’s Syria, the place where we were first called “Christians.” From there, he

went to Rome, the center of the Empire, where it is said that Peter sat in a chair in the house of Priscilla and Aquila to instruct his flock. Jesus, in entrusting the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and his successors, entrusted his compassion and mercy to them, and charged them with pointing to the Kingdom of God. Compassion and mercy are to resonate through their teaching. Since the ancient sign of a teacher is the chair (“disciple” literally means one who sits at the feet of a teacher), Peter’s chair has long been treasured. Today there is a symbolic shrine of Peter’s chair above the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. This monument is the last work of Bernini, a huge bronze throne supported by four doctors of the Church: Augustine and Ambrose from the Western Church, and Chrysostom and Athanasius from the East. High above it is the alabaster window of the descent of the Holy Spirit. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Page Five Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 19 de Febrero de 2017

Oración Diaria por los Sacerdotes O Jesús, Te ruego por tus fieles sacerdotes. Por tus ti-bios e infieles sacerdotes; Por tus sacerdotes que están con nosotros o en tierra de misiones. Por los sacerdotes que son tentados; Por los sacerdotes abandonados y en soledad; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes moribundos; Y por quienes sufren en el Purgatorio. Ante todo, pongo en tus manos a los sacerdotes que más quiero: El sacerdote que me bautizó; El sacerdote que me absuelve de mis pecados; Los sacerdotes que celebran la Misa a que asisto y me da en Comunión tu Cuerpo y Sangre; Los sacerdotes que me instruyen; Por quienes estoy en deuda, en espe-cial (por el Padre______). O Jesús, consérvalos siempre junto a tu corazón y bendícelos siempre hasta la eternidad. Amén. Sta. Therese de Lisieux

Nuestra Misión

San Carlos es una Iglesia enfocada en Cristo, diversa, centrada en la familia, sirviendo a la comunidad católica de Imperial Beach y South Bay. Creemos en la presencia verdadera de Jesucristo en la Eucaristía y Su Gracia salvadora recibida en los Sacramentos. Creemos en la Santa Iglesia Católica instituida por Jesús, en la santidad de la vida, el valor de la familia, y de la educación católica de toda la vida para todas las edades. Vi-vimos para profundizar nuestro amor a Dios, esparcir Su Evangelio y traer a otros a Cristo. Estamos compro-metidos a una vida de oración, de sacrificio, y al servicio a aquellos más necesitados. Con amor, humildad, y alegre obediencia, nos esforzamos para ser transformados y para ser guiados por el Espíritu Santo hasta que seamos transformados en la vida eterna en el Cielo.

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Sir 1:1-10; Sal 93 (92):1-2, 5; Mc 9:14-29 Martes: Sir 2:1-11; Sal 37 (36):3-4, 18-19, 27-28, 39-40; Mc 9:30-37 Miércoles: 1 Pe 5:1-4; Sal 23 (22):1-3a, 4-6; Mt 16:13-19 Jueves: Sir 5:1-8; Sal 1:1-4, 6; Mc 9:41-50 Viernes: Sir 6:5-17; Sal 119 (118):12, 16, 18, 27, 34, 35; Mc 10:1-12 Sábado: Sir 17:1-15; Sal 103 (102):13-18; Mc 10:13-16 Domingo: Is 49:14-15; Sal 62 (61):2-3, 6-9; 1 Cor 4:1-5; Mt 6:24-34

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Aún lo recuerdo, estaba viajando en el metro de la ciudad de Roma cuando subieron dos mujeres con niños. Vestían como si fueran a una fiesta de disfraces. Noté que todas las personas las evitaban. Eran gitanas, esas a las que mi mamá y mis tías me iban a dar si no me portaba bien. Los gitanos no tienen una buena reputación entre las nacio-nes. Tienen la misma reputación de los pastores de Palestina

que vivieron en tiempos de Jesús. Se piensa que son ladrones e inmorales, gente a la que hay que tenerle mie-do. Sin embargo, decimos que Jesús es nuestro Buen Pastor. En Jesús, todas las personas que jamás creería-mos capaces de alcanzar la santidad, lo logran. Tal es el caso del Pelé o Zeferino Jiménez, un gitano que en 1936 fue fusilado por militares españoles. El motivo de su muerte fue la enseñanza y difusión de la fe en Cris-to. Su muerte fue la cumbre de una vida de fe como franciscano seglar. El ejemplo de vida que este gitano nos dio, logró hacer que los españoles lo respetaran y olvidaran sus prejuicios en contra de su gente. Además de eso, evangelizó a sus hermanos gitanos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
