Catholic Schools Raise the
Standards in 2013
This year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week is
“Catholic Schools Raise the Standards.” Teach-
ers and students in Catholic schools are called
to more than high academic achievement–we are called to holiness, called to become
saints. Does this mean, then, that academics take a back seat? Certainly not! We grow
in holiness when we develop the gifts that God has given us, which includes learning
all we can about the world around us so that we can, in turn, serve its greatest needs.
Catholic schools, then, must help children grow both academically and spiritually–
and it’s impossible to do one without the other.
TIME The holidays are well behind us; the year stretches out ahead. And what sort of year will it be? To judge by the words of Jesus in today’s Gospel, it will be “a year ac-ceptable to the Lord.” And Jesus surely didn’t mean only the next three hundred sixty-five days facing his listeners at that time. When Jesus announced the “arrival” of God’s favor, it was a message for all time,
for every year. Similarly, we read today in Nehemiah how the people gathered with solemnity to hear God’s word as though for the first time. They listened, and then fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, “Today is holy . . . do not be sad, and do not weep.” The “year acceptable to the Lord” is this year. The day that is “holy” is this day. The time to listen is now. What sort of year will you have? What sort of day? God’s help is always here. What you do with each day can be holy and acceptable to the Lord if you but listen to and act on God’s word.

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 27 de enero de 2013
El espíritu del Señor está sobre mi, porque me ha ungido
para llevar a los pobres la buena nueva. — Lucas 4:18a
Domingo 27 de Enero. Tercer Domingo Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios
La Palabra de Dios es la mejor luz, estímulo, liberación y guía para nuestra existencia. Como lo fue para la generación de Israel en su vuelta del destierro. La comunidad cristiana vuelve a estar en medio de un mundo indiferente e incluso hostil. La alegría de poder escuchar la Palabra de su Dios se tendría que repetir también hoy, como saludable contrapeso a tantas otras palabras que ahogan nuestra libertad y nuestra verdad. El Señor Jesús, en quien creemos y a quien seguimos, en torno al que nos congregamos cada domingo o cada día, es el que nos transmite la verdadera Palabra. El, en verdad, no sólo ha dicho palabras: Él es la Palabra de Dios para la comunidad. Él es el quien ilumina nuestras dudas y el que nos libera de todo tipo de manipulación y quien nos enseña la Verdad. Vale la pena seguirle domingo tras domingo en su magisterio profético. Su Palabra será buena Noticia y liberación, consuelo gozoso y a la vez exigencia inspiradora para nuestro camino.
La Biblia nos dice que todo ha surgido por el poder de la palabra de Dios. A semejanza de la palabra humana, la palabra de Dios ha iniciado el diálogo con el mundo, se ha convertido en revelación. Es palabra inicial, que tiende necesariamente a ser proclamada siempre y en todo lugar; y es palabra que cumple y realiza lo que anuncia.
Esta Palabra de Dios si se la escucha, pues, si se la interioriza, si se la acepta, si en ella se cree y en ella se espera, inundará de gracia del Señor nuestro corazón. Y si así lo hacemos, si así nos comprometemos a vivir la Palabra de Dios cada día, cada semana, cada mes, no tendremos que esperar que se realice esta promesa, porque ya puede ser hecha realidad en nosotros, como el mismo Jesucristo nos lo anuncia: "hoy se cumple esta Escritura que acaban de oír". En otra ocasión nos revelará que: "El Reino de Dios está ya dentro de ustedes" P. Jairo
UNA BIBLIA EN CADA CASA La Biblia, el libro más traducido, más vendido, más polémico, más predicado, más poético... la lista sería interminable, no debería estar ausente en ninguna de nuestras casas. Cada domingo es proclamada y escuchada. Algunos pasajes nos sorprenden, otros nos hacen pensar y otros muchos nos resultan incomprensibles. La Biblia es como un rompecabezas gigantesco. Hay que conocer y manejar todas las piezas para ver y descubrir el gran proyecto de Dios. Pon una Biblia en tu casa y no dejes que se llene de polvo en la estantería. • Léela y conoce a Jesucristo. • Léala y te amarás más a ti mismo y a tu hermano. • Léela y encontrarás razones para vivir.
►Las personas que necesiten una copia de su contribución a la Parroquia de Incarnation durante el 2012, para sus impuestos, por favor envíe un correo electrónico a Paul Hunter ― [email protected].
El Obispo Robert Lynch será el celebrante principal en la Misa de Acción de Gracias en la cual se honrará a todos los matrimonios de la diócesis que celebran este año sus bodas de plata o de oro, así como las parejas que cumplen más de 50 años de matrimonio. Será el domingo, 3 de marzo, 2013 a las 3:00pm, en la Iglesia St. Catherine of Sienna, 1955 South Belcher Road, Clearwater, FL. Por favor de llamar a la oficina parroquial y den sus nombres, dirección, y fecha de aniversario antes del 11 de febrero, 2013.

27 de enero de 2012 |10
EL TIEMPO Los días de fiesta ya pasaron, el año se nos viene encima. ¿Y qué clase de año será? De acuerdo con las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, será “el año de la gracia del Señor”. Y Jesús con seguridad no se refería solamente a los próximos trescientos sesenta y cinco días cuando hablaba a la gente en ese tiempo. El anuncio de la “llegada” de la gracia de Dios lo hizo Jesús para todos los tiempos, para cada año. De manera similar, leemos hoy en Nehemías cómo la gente se reunía con solemnidad a escuchar la Palabra de Dios como si fuera la primera vez. Escuchaban y luego se postraban con el rostro en la tierra y lloraban. Pero el profeta decía: “Este día está dedicado al Señor… no estén tristes”. El “año de la gracia del Señor” es este año. El día “dedicado al Señor” es hoy. El tiempo de escuchar es ahora. ¿Qué clase de año tendrás? ¿Qué clase de día? La ayuda de Dios siempre está aquí. Lo que haces cada día será santo y aceptable al Señor solamente si escuchas y practicas la palabra de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PUENTES QUEBRADOS Cuando no podemos perdonar, destruimos el puente que debemos pasar si queremos llegar al cielo, porque todos necesitan ser perdonados. —George Herbert
