(taken from Commentary On Today’s Second Reading)
Today is the second of three consecutive Sundays on which we hear from 1 Corinthians 12. The reading picks up where last Sunday’s left off. Recall that in last Sunday’s passage, Paul laid the groundwork for his analogy of the body which he develops in today’s passage. The groundwork he laid consisted of reminding the Corinthians that the source of their different gifts is the same Spirit.
In today’s passage, Paul begins by drawing the connection between the one Spirit and the Baptism which they all share. In Baptism, they all drank of the same Spirit and thus became members of the one body. Similar to last Sunday’s reading; after presenting his opening point, Paul then goes on to develop it in relations to something concrete the Corinthians can understand. Last Sunday, he presented them with a list of spiritual gifts. This Sunday, he speaks practically about the interrelationship of the human body and its individual parts.
The words that the personified foot and ear say (“If a foot should say…”) reflect the twofold struggle in the Corinthian community about how to handle those who boast about their spiritual gifts and how to encourage those who do not have enough self-esteem to think their gifts are worthy of the body. Both segments of the community need to understand that they belong to the one body by virtue of their Baptism. Their contributions to the body are equally significant. This is a question of self-reflection and self-identity.
At the end of the first section, on the human body, Paul asks a rhetorical question and then repeats his opening point. A good teacher, Paul uses this repetition to make sure those under his tutelage do not forget what he is trying to teach them. Paul’s intent in the second section is to lead the Corinthians to understand how they are in relationship with others in the community.
Every Thursday, in the Chapel, All Day Adoration starts at 9:00 AM
and ends with Solemn Benediction at 8:30 PM WE ARE IN GREAT NEED OF COMMITTED ADORERS.
If you would like to commit to a one hour of weekly Adoration, please contact : The Parish office at (408) 296-3000
Forms are also available in the Church. Thank you!

Palabra que da Vida “…Fue también a Nazareth donde se había criado. Entro en la sinagoga, como era su cos-tumbre hacerlo los sábados y se levantó para hacer la lectura. Se le dio el volumen del profeta Isaías, lo desenrolló y encontró el pasaje donde estaba escrito:
El espíritu del Señor esta 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…” En este tercer domingo del Tiempo Ordinario, San Lucas nos muestra a Jesús de visita en su pueblo, su pueblo de Naza-reth, en donde se presenta como el que viene a traer la buena noticia. ¡Jesús nos trae una buena noticia! ¿Soy consciente de ello? ¿Soy consciente de que estar con el Señor es lo mejor que me puede pasar? Vino a traer una buena noticia para los pobres, una buena noticia para los cautivos, una buena noticia para los cie-gos, una buena noticia para los que no tienen libertad, una buena noticia para aquí y para ahora, para cada uno de nosotros. Estar con Cristo es una buena noticia, ojalá que esta se-mana entráramos en este secreto íntimo del evangelio que hemos olvidado los hombres y que Jesús insiste e insistió desde el primer instante en poner de manifiesto. ¡ Estar con Dios es lo mejor para el Aquí, y para el ahora!, no es solo lo mejor para cielo, sino también es lo mejor para la tierra, si tu quieres ser feliz debes estar con Cristo, y hacer lo que Él te dice. Dedica tiempo para estar con él, dedica energías, dedica preparación para poder vivir con él, hacer lo que el te dice, y de esa forma ser feliz aquí en la tierra mien-tras aguardas la victoria definitiva, el premio definitivo en el cielo. Estar con Cristo es una buena noticia, la palabra evangelio significa precisamente la buena noticia. Un buen anuncio. Estemos con Cristo sabiendo que es lo mejor que podemos hacer por nosotros y por nuestras familias aquí en la tierra y por supuesto en el cielo. Pbro. Santiago Martin. Responsable: MARC.
