AN ONGOING MISSION In his hometown synagogue, Jesus’ 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 syna-gogue. 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 Elijah and Elisha the tensions grow. The tensions multi-ply when Jesus begins to tell of a new mission for God’s people: the good news of the scriptures is in-tended 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 challenges. We are called to this same perseverance in the name of love.

BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN

PLEASE RESPECT OUR CHURCH

Lately I have been noticing people talking inside the church, charging their phones in the electrical outlets, men wearing hats and leaving lots of trash. We are reminded that the church is a place to meditate and pray. If you would like to visit with others after or before Mass, please go to the hall so that we might be respectful of the sacred place that is our church. I know that the weather has been cold, but as a sign of respect for God and his church, men are not allowed to wear hats in-side the church. Also, the church is a place to meditate and pray, not to be charging our elec-tronic devices or leaving our trash behind. There are plenty of trash containers in the hall to depos-it our trash. Let us remind ourselves that the church is the house of God and a place to medi-tate, pray, and be respectful.

CONFESIONES

Santo Tomás prepara comida para la "Mesa" en la Iglesia Presbiteriana cada tercer jueves de ca-da mes. Esperamos que nos puedan ayudar con ingredientes que utilizamos para preparar estos alimentos. Utilice la hoja de registro para saber qué alimentos traer y quiénes pueden ser ayu-dantes voluntarios ese jueves. La hoja de inscrip-ción para la comida se encuentra en el tablero y un medio barril marcado "Table" debajo donde se puede colocar la comida el domingo anterior.

CAMPAÑA DE BIBERÓN Últimamente, me he dado cuenta de que algunas personas hablan dentro de la iglesia, cargan sus teléfonos en los enchufes eléctricos, usan som-breros y dejan mucha basura. Se nos recuerda que la iglesia es un lugar para meditar y orar. Si desea visitar a otros después o antes de la misa, vaya al salón para que podamos respetar el lugar sagrado que es nuestra iglesia. Sé que el clima ha sido frío, pero como una señal de respeto hacia Dios y su iglesia, no se nos permite usar sombre-ros dentro de la iglesia. Además, la iglesia es un lugar para meditar y orar, no para cargar nues-tros dispositivos electrónicos o dejar nuestra ba-sura detrás. Hay contenedores de basura en el salón para depositar nuestra basura. Recorde-mos que la iglesia es la casa de Dios y un lugar para meditar, orar y ser respetuosos.

POR FAVOR RESPETA NUESTRA IGLESIA

Gospel: Lk 4:21-30

R. Alleluia, alleluia. The Lord sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

R. Aleluya, aleluya. El Señor me ha enviado para anunciar a los pobres la buena nueva y proclamar la

liberación a los cautivos. R. Aleluya.

Jesus began speaking in the syna-gogue, saying: "Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, "Isn't this the son of Joseph?" He said to them, "Surely you will quote me this proverb, 'Physician, cure yourself,' and say, 'Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Ca-pernaum.'" And he said, "Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own na-tive place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Si-don. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.

En aquel tiempo, después de que Jesús leyó en la sinagoga un pasaje del libro de Isaías, dijo: “Hoy mismo se ha cum-plido este pasaje de la Escritura que acaban de oír”. Todos le daban su aprobación y admiraban la sabiduría de las palabras que salían de sus la-bios, y se preguntaban: “¿No es éste el hijo de José?” Jesús les dijo: “Seguramente me dirán aquel refrán: ‘Médico, cúrate a ti mismo’ y haz aquí, en tu propia tierra, todos esos prodi-

gios que hemos oído que has hecho en Cafar-naúm”. Y añadió: “Yo les aseguro que nadie es profeta en su tierra. Había ciertamente en Is-rael muchas viudas en los tiempos de Elías, cuando faltó la lluvia durante tres años y me-dio, y hubo un hambre terrible en todo el país; sin embargo, a ninguna de ellas fue enviado Elías, sino a una viuda que vivía en Sarepta, ciudad de Sidón. Había muchos leprosos en Israel, en tiempos del profeta Eliseo; sin em-bargo, ninguno de ellos fue curado, sino Naamán, que era de Siria”. Al oír esto, todos los que estaban en la sinagoga se llenaron de ira, y levantándose, lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo llevaron hasta una saliente del monte, sobre el que estaba construida la ciudad, para despe-ñarlo. Pero él, pasando por en medio de ellos, se alejó de allí.
