Vol. 39, No. 4 January 24, 2021 Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

From the Desk of Deacon Steven Gonzalez Come Follow Me

Our Parish Mission Statement The Roman Catholic Parish of Immaculate Concep on and Assump on of Our Lady

is a Eucharis c community: glorifying the Father, united with the Son, led by the Holy Spirit and protected by Mary. We are called to pray,

educate and serve God’s people in this life and in the hope of eternal life.

I n today’s reading from the Gospel of Mark, we read that Jesus is proclaiming the gospel of God to the people of Galilee. He says, “This is the me of ful-fillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” As He passes the Sea of Galilee, He calls to Si-mon, his brother Andrew, and James and his brother John, saying “Come a er me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They all drop what they are doing, leaving everything behind, and follow the Lord. As I reflect on this passage, I think of my own moment of encountering the Lord for the first me. I remember experiencing His merciful and uncondi-

onal love. It happened when I was a sophomore at Fordham University. Growing up, I had always iden fied as a Catholic but never really took it too seriously. It wasn’t un l I was trying to decide on a major and to figure out what to do with my life that I thought, for some reason, I should ask God. I remember going to the Blue Chapel in Kea ng Hall, si ng there, looking at the crucifix and asking God, “What do you want me to do with my life? What is my purpose?” Now, I had no idea what the Eucharist was or who it was, but all of a sudden, I felt a presence emana ng from the tabernacle, and I dis-

nctly remember hearing a voice -- in a telepathic way -- say to me, “Steven, I love you. I want you to be Catholic, complete your sacraments, and think

about being a Catholic priest.” At that moment, I felt totally filled with peace and love: a love for all of crea on. I didn’t know where it came from. I knew the voice wasn’t mine and had to be God’s. The last thing I wanted to be was a priest. I was okay with being

Catholic, but becoming a priest just didn’t fit what I saw

myself doing with my life. I was hoping to get into business or poli cs, but the priesthood? No way. I kept going to the Blue Chapel, He kept speaking to me and I kept doing what He asked. I got a spiritu-al director, enrolled in the RCIA program, and started reading everything I could about Catholicism. I began ge ng involved more at my home parish of St. Lucy’s in the Bronx. I learned more about God, His Church and con nued experiencing His personal love for me. I realized my soul always hungered for His Love, and that was the true fulfillment of what I had been look-ing for in my life. I felt that I could leave behind everything I had known before, follow Him, tell others about Him, and be another “fisher of men.” In your own lives, I challenge you to encounter the Lord and ask what He is calling you to do. What is He asking you to leave behind so that you can fol-low Him more closely? If we con nually strive to do this, we become witnesses of the life-giving truths of the Gospel to others, and we then become other “fishers of men.”

“Christ Calling the Apostles James and John,” by Edward Armitage, 1869

Sacraments and Lit rg

Nex Weekend’s Readings Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B

Reading I: Deuteronomy 18: 15-20 The author wants to find a place for prophecy in his country. He describes a true prophet as a na ve Israelite who is called by Yahweh and con nues the prophe c role of Moses. Reading II: 1 Corinthians 7: 32-35 Paul is addressing newly married couples. We note his view of the equality of men and women. He advises couples but does not impose any solu ons. The Gospel: Mark 1: 21-28 Capernaum is the se ng for this last sec on of Chapter One. Jesus’ “amazing” teaching did not rely on appeals to Scripture or other teachers for verifica on. The healing He works presages the end of the power of demons.

If you have a ques on about any aspect of our Catholic Church and faith, contact us and we will answer to the best of our ability.

265. “What are some benefits of reading Sacred Scripture?”

The Bible is God speaking to us. Catholics believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. All necessary truths that God intended to communicate for the purpose of our salva on are contained in Sacred Scripture! They are God’s own revealing of Himself. By reading them, we come to know Him be er. Sacred Scripture is filled with encouragement. The early Chris ans knew to look to the Scriptures to nourish their hope. The Psalms speak of God’s powerful love and mercy. The Acts of the Apostles showcases the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church. By reflec ng on God’s past fidelity, we can be filled with hope for the future. Reading Scripture will make us be er evangelists. Reading Sacred Scripture can help our faith mature. Many Catholics stop studying their faith when they are con-fronted by difficult ques ons from non-Catholics. All too o en, we offer weak or uncertain defenses of our faith. Every Catholic can benefit by grappling with serious ques-

ons of faith, grounded in the study of Scripture. By reading the Bible, we will keep focused on what ma ers. Chris an life is fundamentally a fight to keep God at the center of our lives and stay focused on the things that ma er. Scripture helps us to face life with God’s perspec ve at the forefront, able to rule out the kinds of things that, in the end, don’t really ma er. Reading Scripture teaches us to pray. Many Catholics express a desire for a richer prayer life. Well, the Bible offers us words to pray. We can model our prayer on the saints and stories contained in the Scriptures. As such, the Bible is a school of prayer, which teaches us how to ex-press the things we hold deep in our hearts. The more we read Scripture, the more clearly we are able to hear God’s voice. The more a uned to the logic of salva on we become by knowing God in the Scriptures, the more readily we will hear God speaking to us.

A Thank You and an Offer om Fr. Sorgie

With the Christmas Season behind us, I want to thank all of those in the Parish who served in ministry or assisted in decora ng and ushering, especially the flower commi ees and the maintenance department. Everything was beau ful and well received in both churches, the Immaculate Concep on School and on the grounds. I’d also like to men on and thank the parishioners who made pos-sible the pain ng and restora on of the figures of the Christmas Crèche (upper le ) at Assump on Church. This an que set, from a er

World War II, had fallen into disrepair. Everyone commented on how beau ful and new they appeared. The ar sts of Renovata Studios kept their an que pa na while at the same me refreshing the look. There are six animals available to memorialize or honor someone you love. Each one is $250, including the camel (le ) which is the largest piece in the set. If you are interested, please call the Parish Office at (914) 961-3643, x209.

La Communidad Hispana ¿? Preg ntale al padre

Si ene preguntas acerca de cualquier aspecto de nuestra Fe o Religión Católica. Deje una nota o llámenos y le responderemos de la mejor manera posible. 265. “¿Cuáles son los beneficios al leer las Sagradas Escrituras?” La Biblia es Dios hablándonos a nosotros. Los Católi-cos creemos que La Biblia es inspiración de la palabra de Dios. Todas las verdades necesarias de comunicar para el propósito de nuestra salvación están contenidas en Las Sagradas Escrituras! Es Dios revelándose a sí mismo. Al leerlas aprendemos a conocer mejor a Dios. Las Sagradas Escrituras están llenas de ánimo. Los primeros cris anos sabían cómo mirar las escrituras para alimentar su es-peranza. Los Salmos hablan del poderoso amor de Dios y su mis-ericordia. Los Actos de los Apóstoles enseñan la labor del Espíritu Santo en la iglesia. Al reflexionar en el pasado en la palabra de Dios podemos llenarnos de esperanza para el futuro. Al leer Las Sagradas Escrituras nos conver remos en mejores evangelistas. Leer Las Escrituras nos ayudará para que nuestra fe madure. Muchos Católicos dejar de estudiar acerca de su fe cuando se encuentran confrontados con di ciles preguntas hechas por no-Católicos. Todos, a menudo, ofrecemos débiles e inciertas defensas de nuestra fe. Todo Católico puede benefi-ciarse al aferrarse con serias preguntas de fe, basadas en el estudio de Las Escrituras. Al leer la Biblia nos enfocaremos en lo que es importante. La vida Cris ana es una lucha para mantener a Dios como centro de nuestras vidas y para mantenernos enfocados en las cosas que son importantes. Las Escrituras nos ayudan a a hacerle frente a la vida desde la perspec va de Dios, haciendo posible eliminar cosas que en realidad no son importantes. Leer Las Escrituras nos ayuda a orar. Muchos Católicos expre-san su deseo de llevar una vida más rica en oración. Bien, la Biblia nos ofrece palabras para orar. Podemos modelar nuestras ora-ciones con los santos e historias contenidas en Las Escrituras. La Biblia es una escuela de oración, la cual nos enseña cómo expre-sar cosas que guardamos en nuestros corazones. Mientras más leamos Las Escrituras, más claro podremos escuchar la voz de Dios. Mientras más sintonizados nos encon-tremos con la lógica de salvación al conocer a Dios a través de Las Escrituras, más listos nos encontraremos para escuchar a Dios que nos habla.

El libro para Misas del año 2022 está casi listo y comenzaremos a registrar todas las intensiones para las Misas tanto para los vivos, cuanto para los muertos en el 2022. Las Misas de Intenciones aparecen el bole n por $20.00. Las Misas sin una intención que anunciar por $15.00. Por favor tomen nota, en ninguna misa se mencionaran más de cinco intenciones. Siempre pueden acercarse a la oficina en el nuevo Centro Parroquial. Para su conveniencia, han sido asignadas, exclusivamente, dos horas con el propósito de poder registrar misas en el Centro Parroquial, duran-te los siguientes días y horas:

martes, 26 de enero de 1:00 a 2:00 PM

jueves , 28 de enero de 1:00 a 2:00 PM

Oficinas de la Par oquia, ahora en el Cent o Par oquial

Nuestra oficina de la Parroquia no está más en la Rectoría, ahora está localizada en el nuevo Centro Parroquial. Se puede tener acceso a través de la entrada original de la escuela. Existe una rampa para inca-pacitados entre la Iglesia y la Escuela y un letrero nuevo le dirigirá al nuevo Centro Parroquial. Para todos los asuntos con la parroquia, por favor visite nuestra nueva oficina y admire el centro mientras lo preparamos para su completa abertura.
