Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

God has given us a great Savior. Jesus Christ has come to us to save us from all sin.

“John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said… “Behold , the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world...He is the Son of God...” John

We are called by God, just like St. Paul, in Jesus Christ, to follow our Savior, to follow

His example in giving His life for all. We are to do our best to serve others.

“Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God...called to be holy” 1 Corinthians

“You are my servant through whom I show my glory…”

“My God is my strength…” “I will make you a light to the nations…” Isaiah

May we pray, everyday, to do the will of God in all our words and actions.

“Here am I, Lord… I come to do your will…” Psalm 40

Monsignor Lorenzo Miranda

Learn to “stop” inappropriate activity before it happens Teach your child to respect the word “stop!” Teach your preschool-er that “stop” means “stop,” and that your child has the right to stop people from touching his or her body. Obviously, exceptions will have to be made for doctors and parents, but even parents must listen when a child doesn’t want to be tickled or hugged anymore. Reinforcing this excellent lesson gives your child the power to recognize -and to stop -“bad touching” by others if it should happen. For particular help you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

JANUARY 19, 2020 PAGE 5

As a Church, we now move into Ordinary Time. “Ordinary” comes from the Latin root for “order,” which is why we line the Sundays up on the calendar and count them—with “ordinal” numbers—one by one. The orderly way we proceed through the liturgical year reminds us that our faith offers a strategic goal for our lives: eternal happiness with God, who is love. Today’s readings share stories of believers who order their daily activities toward the goal of sharing God’s love. Isaiah embraces his role as God’s servant and works to bring glory not only to Israel, but to the entire world. In a similar way, Saint Paul identifies himself as Christ’s witness in the world and reminds the Corinthians of their life goal: “to be holy.” The Gospel shows us John the Baptist, servant and wit-ness, attentive to God’s loving orders, the divine plan for salva-tion. TOO LITTLE Today’s first reading reveals the Lord’s super-sized heart. “It is too little,” according to God, to protect and guide only the tribes of Jacob. The enormity of God’s love cannot limit itself to one nation; divine love overflows, spilling liberally over all people everywhere. Isaiah, prophet of the long-suffering Israel-ites, might have been surprised to hear that the salvation of his people is not enough for God. But God always wants more than what we want. God’s passion outstrips all of our deepest de-sires. We are merely creatures. Compared to the hugeness of our Creator’s designs, we will always want too little, have too little, know too little, love too little. This littleness frustrates us throughout life. But exactly when we admit our littleness, we make room for Christ. NEVER TOO LATE John the Baptist models for us the grace of littleness. Twice in today’s Gospel reading, John admits, “I did not know.” Even though John has ordered his entire life toward the goal of pre-paring the world for the Messiah, he does not, on his own, rec-ognize Christ when he sees him. The Gospel insists John “did not know” Jesus; in his humility, John relies entirely on God for direction. John waits and waits—baptizing, praying, preaching—until, finally, the Holy Spirit reveals the Messiah. John had waited his whole life for this confirmation from the Spirit. God’s chosen people, the Israelites, had waited much, much longer. Surely many wondered if God would ever send the Messiah as promised. But God is never late. In our little-ness, we cannot see the arc of all human history with God’s clarity and love. Each of us aches deeply for some good thing: a cure, a resolution, a rest, a fair break. When we are made to wait for what seems obviously beneficial, we sometimes won-der if God is really as all-powerful and all-loving as people say. Today’s readings invite us to trust.

Como Iglesia, ahora pasamos al Tiempo Ordinario. "Ordinario" proviene de la raíz latina para "orden", por lo que alineamos los domingos en el calendario y los contamos, con números "ordinales", uno por uno. La forma ordenada en que avanzamos durante el año litúrgico nos recuerda que nuestra fe ofrece un ob-jetivo estratégico para nuestras vidas: la felicidad eterna con Dios, quien es amor. Las lecturas de hoy comparten historias de creyentes que ordenan sus actividades diarias con el objetivo de compartir el amor de Dios. Isaías adopta su papel de siervo de Dios y trabaja para traer gloria no solo a Israel, sino a todo el mun-do. De manera similar, San Pablo se identifica a sí mismo como el testigo de Cristo en el mundo y les recuerda a los corintios su meta en la vida: "ser santos". El Evangelio nos muestra a Juan el Bau-tista, siervo y testigo, atento a las órdenes amorosas de Dios, lo divino plan para la salvación. DEMASIADO POCO La primera lectura de hoy muestra el corazón súper grande del Señor. “Es demasiado poco”, de acuerdo a Dios, proteger y guiar sólo a las tribus de Jacob. La magnitud del amor de Dios no puede limitarse a sí mismo para una nación; el amor divino se desborda, derramándose generosamente en todas las personas en todas partes. Isaías, el profeta sufriente de los israelitas, podría haberse sorprendido de escuchar que la salvación de su pueblo no era sufi-ciente para Dios. Pero Dios siempre quiere más de lo que nosotros queremos. La pasión de Dios supera todos nuestros deseos más profundos. Somos simplemente creaturas. Comparado con la in-mensidad de los designios de nuestro Creador, siempre querremos demasiado poco, tenemos demasiado poco, sabemos demasiado poco, amamos demasiado poco. Esta escasez nos frustra a lo largo de la vida. Pero exactamente cuando admitimos nuestra escasez, hacemos espacio para Cristo. NUNCA ES TARDE Juan el Bautista modela para nosotros la gracia de la pequeñez. En el Evangelio de hoy, dos veces Juan admite “no lo conozco”. Aunque Juan había ordenado toda su vida hacia la meta de preparar el mundo para el Mesías, él no, por su cuenta, reconoce a Cristo cuando lo ve. El Evangelio insiste Juan, “no conoce” a Jesús; con humildad, Juan confía plenamente en Dios por consejo. Juan espera y espera bautizando, orando, predicando, hasta que finalmente, el Espíritu Santo le revela al Mesías. Juan había esperado toda su vida por esta confirmación del Es-píritu. El pueblo elegido de Dios, los israelitas habían esperado demasiado, mucho más. Seguramente muchos se preguntaban si Dios llegaría a enviar al Mesías como lo había prometido. Pero a Dios nunca se le hace tarde. En nuestra pequeñez, no podemos ver el arco de la historia humana con la claridad y amor de Dios. Cada uno de nosotros ansia profundamente por algunas cosas buenas: una sanación, una decisión, un apoyo, un justo descanso. Cuando se nos hace esperar por lo que parece un beneficio obvio, algunas veces preguntamos si Dios es en realidad todopoderoso y lleno de amor, así como la gente dice. Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a confiar.

Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,

Dios nos ha dado un gran Salvador. Jesucristo ha venido para salvar a todos del pecado.

“Juan Bautista vio a Jesús que venía hacia él, y exclamó… Éste es el Cordero de Dios,

el que quita el pecado del mundo… Él es el Hijo de Dios…” Juan

Nos llama Dios, como a San Pablo, en Cristo Jesús, a seguir al Salvador, a seguir Su ejemplo en dar la vida por todos. Lucharemos para servir con sinceridad a otros.

“Pablo, apóstol de Jesucristo por voluntad de Dios… Llamado a ser santo…”

1 Corintios “Tu eres mi siervo… en ti manifestaré mi gloria…”

“Mi Dios es mi fuerza…” “Te voy a convertir en la luz de las naciones…” Isaías

Oremos, todos, los días, para hacer la voluntad de Dios, en todas nuestras palabras y

acciones.

“Aquí estoy Señor, para hacer tu voluntad…” Salmo 40

INTENCION DEL PAPA PARA ENERO

Póngale el “Alto” a Actividades Inapropiadas Antes de Que Sucedan

Consejo para la seguridad: Enseñe a sus niños a respetar la palabra “alto”. Enseñe a sus hijos preescolares que “alto” significa “alto” y que sus hijos tienen el derecho de po-nerles el alto a personas que tocan su cuerpo. Obviamente, excepciones tendrán que ser hechas para los médicos y los padres, pero incluso los padres deben escuchar cuando un hijo no desea ser cosquilleado o abrazado mas. Reforzando esta lección excelente da a sus niños el poder de reconocer – y poner alto – al “contacto físico inapropiado” por otros si llegara a suce-der. Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Ayuda al (213) 637-7650.
