We are all travelers while alive in this world. We are travelling towards our homeland, Heaven. We take a rest at our death (Eternal Rest until the Perpetual Light Shines upon us) waiting for the call from the angels of the Lord at His Glorious second Coming when we all will be raised and will have our final judgement which determines whether we go to heaven with the Lord or to the eternal suffering in hell. This is a basic fact of our life, well informed by our Faith. As travelers on this journey with our destination in mind, we have to stay on the way of the Lord. We must nourish ourselves with food given by Him through sacraments, devotions, retreats and so forth. Many a time we continue this journey of life irresponsibly, most of the time under the influence of the secular world and its ideologies that tend to digress us from our route. When we teach our children how to drive a motor vehicle, we teach them the rules of the road and give them the tips for safe driving and insist that they are mindful of safety at all times. We make sure they know how to keep the machine properly maintained, to keep sufficient gas etc. so that the journey will not be in jeopardy. How much more do we have to care about our life’s journey. This man goes to work every day, gets home evening, eats with family, prays with the family, goes to sleep and repeats this always. When asked what gives you the energy to go on and on every day, he said, the love of his wife and children gives him the confidence that his journey to heaven is safe. We will not be tired of our life’s journey and its challenges if we can experience the love of Jesus for us. Jesus nourishes us with His Body and Blood, and His Word so that our journey will not be in jeopardy. Longing for His Love and the joy of His Home, heaven, should stay alive in our hearts all the time. God bless you all

From the Pastor’s Desk / Del Escritorio del Padre

Todos somos viajeros mientras estamos vivos en este mundo. Estamos viajando hacia nuestra patria, el cielo. Descansamos al morir (Descanso eterno hasta que la luz perpetua brille sobre nosotros) esperando el llamado de los ángeles del Señor en su gloriosa segunda venida cuando todos seremos resucitados y tendremos nuestro juicio final que determina si vamos. al cielo con el Señor o al sufrimiento eterno en el infierno.

Este es un hecho básico de nuestra vida, bien informado por nuestra fe. Como viajeros en este viaje con nuestro destino en mente, tenemos que permanecer en el camino del Señor. Debemos alimentarnos con la comida que Él nos da a través de los sacramentos, las devociones, los retiros, etc. Muchas veces continuamos este viaje de la vida de manera irresponsable, la mayoría de las veces bajo la influencia del mundo secular y sus ideologías que tienden a desviarnos de nuestra ruta.

Cuando les enseñamos a nuestros hijos cómo conducir un vehículo motorizado, les enseñamos las reglas de la carretera y les damos consejos para conducir de manera segura e insistimos en que estén conscientes de la seguridad en todo momento. Nos aseguramos de que sepan cómo mantener la máquina en buen estado, mantener suficiente gas, etc. para que el viaje no esté en peligro. Cuánto más tenemos que preocuparnos por el viaje de nuestra vida.

Este hombre va a trabajar todos los días, llega a casa por la noche, come con la familia, reza con la familia, se duerme y repite esto siempre. Cuando se le preguntó qué le da la energía para seguir y seguir todos los días, dijo, el amor de su esposa e hijos le da la confianza de que su viaje al cielo es seguro.

No nos cansaremos del viaje de nuestra vida y sus desafíos si podemos experimentar el amor de Jesús por nosotros. Jesús nos alimenta con su cuerpo y sangre, y su palabra para que nuestro viaje no esté en peligro. Anhelando su amor y la alegría de su hogar, el cielo, debe permanecer vivo en nuestros corazones todo el tiempo. Dios los bendiga a todos

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

SANTOS TIMOTEO Y TITO (Siglo I) 26 de enero Timoteo y Tito fueron colaboradores cercanos del apóstol Pablo. Timoteo es descrito por Pablo como un “hombre de Dios” a quien le pide que no se abochorne de ser joven y que no permita que alguien lo desprecie por ser un líder joven. Asimismo, fue su compañero apostólico en la evangelización de Tesalónica, Corinto y Éfeso. De esta última comunidad fue su obispo y ahí tuvo como encargo organizar la comunidad y sus ministerios. Fue testigo del martirio de Pablo y, posteriormente, él mismo sufrió el martirio. Tito fue convertido al cristianismo por el mismo Pablo. Es Pablo quien destaca en Tito las cualidades de artífice de la paz, administrador, mediador en los conflictos y de gran capacidad para organizar las comunidades nacientes que enfrentaban el acecho de la falsa doctrina. Tito murió, según las fuentes a los 93 años. Pablo escribe a ambos, en sus cartas pastorales, respecto a las cualidades que ellos, como obispos, deben tener. Asimismo, recorre uno a uno los ministerios de la Iglesia y los comportamientos que deben ser observados por los miembros de la comunidad. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION SAINT ANGELA MERICI (c. 1474-1540)

January 27

Born in Northern Italy, orphaned in childhood, Angela Merici faced a society in which education was largely the privilege of wealthy young men and based primarily in monastic schools. This reality shaped Angela’s insightful conviction that society’s disorder was caused by disorder in the home, and a lack of model Christian mothers the result of neglecting the education of young women. Transform the Christian family by placing an educated wife and mother at its heart, Angela believed, and the whole world would be renewed in Christ! So she gathered a small group of unmarried women, many of them Franciscan Tertiaries (lay affiliates) like herself, and set out to educate poor girls, free of charge, in their homes. She and her band of teachers called themselves companions, pioneering a new form of non-cloistered religious life for women, bearing witness to evangelical simplicity in the midst of the world, not as a formal “order” but as the Company (compagnia) of Saint Ursula. Known today as the Ursulines, Angela Merici’s spiritual daughters continue serving the Church and society in a rich diversity of ministries. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SEEKING THE LIGHT

In today’s readings we find ourselves being drawn more deeply into relationship with Jesus. We are getting to know more about him as we see how he struggles with the news of his cousin John’s arrest. His first response is to withdraw, to leave Nazareth and go to Capernaum. There he is perhaps both consoled and challenged by the words of Isaiah that Matthew quotes: “the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, / on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death / light has arisen” (Matthew 4:16). Jesus contemplates his cousin’s death, perhaps his own death, and he seeks the light. Maybe it is these words of Isaiah that move Jesus out of his withdrawal and into action. He begins to preach, teach, cure disease and illness, and proclaim the gospel of the kingdom. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BUSCAMOS LA LUZ

En las lecturas de hoy nos encontramos deseando una relación más profunda con Jesús. Lo vamos conociendo un poco más al ver cómo le afecta la noticia del arresto de su primo Juan. Su primera reacción es retirarse, dejar Nazaret e irse a Cafarnaúm. Es allí donde quizás encuentra tanto consuelo como reto en las palabras de Isaías que Mateo cita: “El pueblo que caminaba en tinieblas vio una gran luz. Sobre los que vivían en tierra de sombras una luz resplandeció” (Mateo 4:16). Jesús contempla la muerte de su primo, y quizás su propia muerte, y busca la luz. Tal vez son estas palabras de Isaías las que sacan a Jesús de su retiro y lo lanzan a la acción, pues él comienza a predicar, enseñar, curar enfermedades y a proclamar el Evangelio del Reino.
