AN ONGOING MISSION
In his hometown synagogue, Je-sus’ neighbors are amazed by his words. Nevertheless, they remind each other, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Surely the people know who he is. The carpenter’s son. The young man who had learned in this very synagogue. The boy down the street.
Conflict arises as Jesus begins to define himself in a new way. When he compares himself to the ancient prophets Eli-jah and Elisha the tensions grow. The tensions multiply when Jesus begins to tell of a new mission for God’s people: the good news of the scriptures is intended for all.
In his famous passage from the First Letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul reminds us of the eternal nature of love. Love does not come to an end. In today’s readings, we are reminded that, like love, Jesus’ mission cannot be contained. Jesus slips through the crowd of persecutors and moves on to new chal-lenges. We are called to this same perseverance in the name of love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Introduction to the Solemn High Mass and Other Liturgies: The Prayers, Rituals and Chants
Have you ever relaxed to the sounds of monks singing Gregorian Chant? Have you ever allowed it to elevate your spirit in prayer? Gregorian chant was traditionally sung by choirs in churches, or by religious orders in their chapels. It is the traditional music of the Roman Rite performed in the Mass and the monastic Office.
We are honored to host Fr. Samuel Weber, O.S.B., an expert in Gregorian Chant, who will share with us his love for sacred music and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form. Since beginning grade school in 1953, Fr. Weber has been studying and singing Gregorian chant. In April 2008, he became the founder and first director of The Institute of Sacred Music in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. The Institute of Sacred Music was established by Archbishop Raymond E. Burke to promote the sacred liturgy and Gregorian Chant. The goals of the Institute are to carry out the directives of the Second Vatican Council and papal documents regarding the
role of Gregorian Chant and sacred polyphony in the life of the Church.
Join us February 21-24 at Incarnation parish for the Latin Mass seminar entitled The Solemn High Mass and Other Liturgies: the Prayers, Rituals and Chants. In this three part seminar, Fr. Weber will speak on the Solemn High Mass, the High Mass, the Low Mass, Gregorian Chant, and the primacy of place of sacred music in the liturgy. He will also give two sessions to train our schola and our altar servers, both of which are open to registrants who may wish to sit in and learn more about how Gregorian Chant is sung and why the altar servers do what they do
In this seminar, Fr. Weber will address: How to attend the Low Mass;
How to attend and understand the High Mass and Solemn High Mass;
How to understand other liturgies such as the Requiem Mass;
How to serve the Low Mass and the High Mass; and
How to sing Gregorian Chant
As a most noble closing to this seminar, Fr. Patrick Hough, S.J. will sing a High Mass at 4:30pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at Incarnation Church. This will be the first High Mass at Incarnation as we transition to offering the High Mass twice per month in our regular Traditional Latin Mass schedule.
It is a high honor to have Fr. Weber visit with us to teach us and train us, and we would love to have you join us for this seminar to learn more about and to help usher in the celebration of the sung High Mass at Incarnation.
PART III
Sunday, February 24, 2013 1:30-3:00pm in St. Michael's Hall Altar Server Training ~
In this session, Fr. Weber will train the altar servers in serving the Low Mass and, in particular, the High Mass. Time permitting, he will address the role of the MC in the High Mass and Solemn High Mass. While this session is specifically for altar servers, if you're interested in understanding better what they do, you are welcome to sit in on this session
PART I

day's Sung Mass. While this ses-

order to see how Gregorian Chant
is taught and sung. Who knows,
after this session you may want to
join the schola!

You don't want to miss this part! If you are unable to attend Session A, Fr. Weber will repeat this information is Session B (see below). Saturday, February 23, 2013 6:30-8:30pm in the Church
Solemn High Mass and other Liturgies: The Prayers, Rituals & Chants (Session B) The evening session will be a repeat of the morning session for those who were unable to attend the morning session. Please feel free to attend both if you desire.

Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 3 de febrero de 2013
Ahora tenemos estas tres virtudes: la fe, la esperanza, y el amor;
pero el amor es la mayor de las tres. — 1 Corintios 13:13
Domingo 3 de Febrero. Tercer Domingo Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Una de las páginas más bellas de las cartas de san Pablo es el llamado himno de la caridad. El apóstol, nos habla de unas relaciones entre los hombres completamente desconocidas para el mundo pagano, pues tienen un fundamento de todo nuevo: el amor a Cristo. Con la ayuda de la gracia, el cristiano descubre en su prójimo a Dios, sabe que todos somos hijos de un mismo Padre y hermanos de Jesucristo. La virtud sobrenatural de la caridad nos acerca al prójimo. Nuestro amor no se confunde con una postura sentimental, tampoco con una simple camaradería, ni con el poco claro afán de ayudar a los otros para demostrarnos a nosotros mismos que somos buenos. Es convivir con el prójimo, venerando la imagen de Dios que hay en cada hombre, procurando que también él la contemple, para que sepa dirigirse a Cristo. La caridad del cristiano se expresa ordinariamente en las virtudes de la convivencia humana, en las muestras de educación y cortesía, que así quedan elevadas a un orden superior y definitivo. Sin ella la vida queda vacía. Las buenas obras si pudieran darse, serian como sonidos de campanas, que apenas dura unos instantes y se apaga. Sin la caridad, nos dice san Pablo, de poco sirven los dones más apreciados: si no tengo caridad, nada soy. La falta de caridad oxida la inteligencia para el conocimiento de Dios, y también la dignidad del hombre; el amor agudiza las potencias, las afina y despierta. Solamente la caridad, amor a Dios y al prójimo por Dios, nos prepara y dispone para entender al Señor y lo que a Él se refiere, en la medida en que una criatura limitada puede hacerlo. El que no ama no conoce a Dios, enseña san Juan, porque Dios es amor. También la virtud de la esperanza queda estéril sin la caridad, pues es imposible alcanzar aquello que no se ama; y todas las obras son infecundas sin la caridad, aun las más costosas y las que comportan sacrificios: si repartiera todos los bienes y entregara mi cuerpo al fuego, pero no tuviera caridad, de nada me aprovecha. La caridad por nada puede ser sustituida. Hoy podríamos preguntarnos en nuestra oración cómo vivimos esta virtud cada día: si tenemos detalles de servicio con quienes convivimos, si procuramos ser amables, si pedimos disculpas, si damos paz y alegría a nuestro alrededor, si ayudamos a los demás en su caminar hacia el Señor o si, por el contrario, nos mostramos indiferentes y arrogantes; si ponemos en práctica las obras de misericordia, con la visita a los pobres y enfermos, para vivir la solidaridad cristiana con los que sufren; si atendemos a los ancianos, si nos preocupamos por los marginados. En una palabra, si nuestro trato habitual con el Señor se manifiesta en obras de comprensión y de servicio a quienes están cerca de nuestro diario vivir. P. Jairo La caridad produce caridad Cada cosa produce una especie e imagen de sí misma, lo mismo que cada cristal de un espejo que representa los objetos tal como son: un rostro feo se ve feo, uno hermosos aparece hermoso. Del mismo modo, las buenas o las malas cualidades se manifiestan por fuera; y sobre todo la caridad. (San Vicente de Paúl)

AÑO DE LA FE: FEBRERO DE 2013
El Señor nunca nos abandonará
Meditación
Lo que el mundo necesita hoy de manera especial es el testimonio creíble de los que, iluminados en la mente y el corazón por la Palabra del Señor, son capaces de abrir el corazón y la mente de muchos al deseo de Dios y de la vida verdadera, esa que no tiene fin (ver Benedicto XVI, La puerta de la fe, 15). El 13 de febrero comienza una fase más intensa del Año de la Fe. El Miércoles de Ceniza “abre la puerta” al camino cuaresmal de oración, ayunar y dar limosnas que guía a los catecúmenos a las aguas del Bautismo que dan la vida, y que nos trae a nosotros a la renovación de nuestros promesas bautismales. El domingo antes de la Cuaresma, para animarnos a que nos alejemos del pecado y empecemos otra vez en el camino de la conversión personal y el testimonio público, Lucas nos muestra a Jesús rechazando abandonar a Pedro. En efecto, Jesús le dice a Pedro que será pescador de hombres para que otros tengan la vida en abundancia. Lucas no usa el verbo “pescar”, como en Mateo y Marcos, sino que emplea una palabra griega que significa “atrapar vivo”, es decir, rescatar para que pueda disfrutar de una nueva y mejor vida. Todos nosotros que hemos sido “rescatados” para disfrutar de la “vida en abundancia” somos enviados a rescatar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas, pecadores como nosotros, del peligro y guiarlos a la abundancia de la vida con Jesús.
Misión
Preparar una Cuaresma especial en este “Año de la Fe” identificando los pecados que me previenen de desarrollar una amistad más profunda con Cristo y determinar la forma específica de mi conversión cuaresmal. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
DIALOGO MATRIMONIAL MDS Somos un movimiento de nuestra Iglesia Católica cuyo objetivo principal es apoyar a las parejas y matrimonios en sus luchas por fortalecer las tres relaciones principales de todo matrimonio: su relación con Dios, su relación de pareja, y la
relación con sus hijos. Para lograr ese objetivo realizamos 6 retiros al año. Nos reunimos todos los viernes, donde tratamos, a la luz de la palabra de Dios, y del catecismo de nuestra Iglesia, los temas que crean mayores conflictos en la relación de toda pareja. Los esperamos todos los viernes a las 7:30pm en el salón St. Francis.
Nuestro lema es: “No es necesario cambiar de pareja, sino de actitud”.
