GIVE GOD THE GLORY A curious feature of the first half of Mark’s Gospel is the pattern of Jesus working a miracle, then telling the recipient of the miracle to keep still about it. Many theories have been offered: Mark is setting the stage for the great “secret” revealed when Peter will proclaim Jesus the Messiah at Caesarea Philippi; more skeptical commentators offer that Jesus, fully aware of human nature, knew that the way to spread the news was to tell people to keep it secret. The insight into this secret-keeping that serves us well, however, is that Jesus was initiating his public ministry according to the pattern that Paul describes. He was doing it for the glory of God—not for his own benefit, but for that of all. Paul would later write in Philippians that Jesus “humbled” himself to become like us. And we see this humility at work in today’s healing of the leper. Jesus is trying to reveal the presence of God’s reign among the people, not so that he himself might receive the glory, but so that God would be glorified through him. Imitating this pattern, which Paul encourages the Jewish and Greek Christian factions in Corinth to do, still serves us well today. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

A DIOS TODA LA GLORIA Una característica peculiar de la primera parte del Evangelio según san Marcos es que en general Jesús obra un milagro y luego le dice al beneficiario del milagro que no se lo cuente a nadie. Se ha especulado mucho al respecto: Marcos está preparando el terreno para el gran “secreto” que se revelará cuando Pedro proclame que Jesús es el Mesías en Cesárea de Filipo; otros comentaristas más escépticos sostienen que Jesús, quien era plenamente consciente de su naturaleza humana, sabía que la mejor manera de difundir la Buena Nueva era pidiéndole a las personas que la mantuvieran en secreto. La reflexión de esta manera de guardar el secreto que nos resulta muy útil, sin embargo, es que Jesús estaba comenzando su ministerio público de la forma en que describe Pablo: lo estaba ha-ciendo por la gloria de Dios, no para beneficio propio sino para beneficio de todos. Pablo después escribiría a los filipenses que Jesús “se rebajó a sí mismo” para parecerse a nosotros. Y vemos cómo esta humildad se pone en práctica hoy en la curación del leproso. Jesús está intentando revelar la presencia del Reino de Dios entre las personas, no para recibir gloria sino para que Dios fuera glorificado por él. Imitar esta forma de obrar, lo cual Pablo sugiere que hagan las facciones judías y griegas cristianas de Corintio, todavía nos resulta muy útil hoy. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Memo from Bishop Garcia regarding Valentine’s Day: “Since Ash Wednesday is such a sacred day for our faithful, as the solemn beginning of the Lenten Season and preparation for Holy Week and Easter, I ask that you please inform your parishioners that we should keep the obligation of fast and abstinence on the day of Ash Wednesday, as we do every year. February 13th is also Mardi Gras, which is traditionally a festive day, so it should be an appropriate day to have Valentine’s Day celebrations.”

Nota del Obispo García: "Como el Miércoles de Ceniza es un día tan sagrado para nuestros fieles, como el comienzo solemne de la Temporada de Cuaresma y la preparación para la Semana Santa y la Pascua, les pido que informen a sus feligreses que debemos mantener la obligación de ayunar y abstenernos en el día del Miércoles de Ceniza, como hacemos todos los años. El 13 de febrero también es Mardi Gras, que tradicionalmente es un día festivo, por lo que debería ser un día apropiado para las celebraciones del Día de San Valentín ".
