Se le había dado una flecha para que jugara en el bosque. El practicó pero no pudo darle al blanco. Se desanimó y se regresó para la cena. En su camino el vio a la mascota de la abuela, un patito. Él uso la flecha, ¡y qué crees, le dio en el mismo centro de la cabeza y lo mató! ¡Él se asombró y lloró! Aterrorizado, escondió el pato muerto en una pila de leña solo para entonces darse cuenta que su hermana lo vigilaba. Después del almuerzo el siguiente día, la abuela dijo, “Salí, vamos a lavar los trastes.” Pero Salí dijo, “Abuelita, Juanito me dijo que él quería ayudar en la cocina.” Entonces ella le susurró, “¿recuerdas el patito?” Por cuya razón, Juan lavó los trastes. Más tarde ese día, el abuelo preguntó si los niños querían ir a pescar y la abuela le contestó, “Lo siento, pero necesito que Salí me ayude con la cena.” Salí sonrió y dijo, “Bueno no importa porque Juan me dijo que él quería ayudarte”. De nuevo le susurró, “¿recuerdas el patito?” De modo que ella se fue con el abuelito y Juan se quedó para ayudar. Después de varios días Juanito ya no podía más, fue a donde su abuela y le confesó que él había matado el patito. La abuela se arrodilló delante de él, le dio un abrazo y le dijo, “mi adorado, ya lo sabía. Tú ves, yo estaba ahí en la ventana y vi todo, pero porque te quiero, te perdoné. Solo me estaba preguntando por cuánto tiempo más ibas a permitir que Sali te tuviera de esclavo.” Un pensamiento para hoy y todos los días que siguen Lo que sea que esté en tu pasado; lo que sea que hayas hecho, el diablo seguirá tirándotelo en la cara (sea una mentira, un engaño, deuda, miedo, mala maña, odio, coraje, amargura, etc.) Sea lo que sea, tú necesitas saber que Dios estaba ahí mismo en la ventana y ya vio lo sucedido. Él quiere que sepas que Él te quiere y que te ha perdonado. Solo se está preguntando por cuánto tiempo vas a permitir que el diablo te tenga de esclavo. Lo mejor que tiene Dios es que cuando pides perdón É no solo te perdona sino que olvida. Es por la gracia de Dios y su misericordia que somos salvos.

Today we officially begin "Ordinary Time" of the liturgical year, the Word of God never ceases to surprise and challenge us. What a good example we have when Samuel listens to the call of God and when Jesus answers the two disciples of John the Baptist: "Come and see". Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” “Rabbi”, where are you staying?” “Come and you will see.” So they went and saw and they stay with him that day. Samuel is the only son of Hannah, the son she gave birth to after she begged God to give her a son knowing of her sterility, a son later consecrated to God. The Lord actually answered her prayers and she named him "SHMU-el (Samuel)," which means "God has heard." Hannah gives her son as an "offering" to the Lord, trusting her young son to the old priest Eli at the Shiloh Temple "where the ark of God was." What God gives us is a gift, what we return to Him is our poor offering. This story of the impossible made possible is repeated again. How many things have we considered impossible that we have achieved! What seemed unreachable was obtained! What was difficult, with constancy and perseverance became easy! But when we talk about our relationship with God, there is something different. He does not want us just to hear him or find him for one hour a week. He wants us to live in a relationship with Him and for Him. God wants to be part of our lives and our history, and expects us to do the same. The best way to nurture His presence is through the Eucharist and the Holy Word. Hence all the resources that the Church promotes are ways in which we can grow and believe more and more. What are you looking for? This question still echoes in each of us when we feel restless and eager for more ... many times we do not know what we want ... But as St. Augustine said, my soul was restless, until I found rest in Thee. God grant that our parish community will continue to be holy so that we can together establish the Kingdom in our midst. What a blessing it is to begin this year knowing, that our Holy Father will soon be so close to us. It will be another opportunity to pray for strength in our families and why not the church family? So let us all say, “Speak Lord your servant is listening”. Fr. Cesar Rubiano 594 18 January 2015 WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY begins today 18 January 2015 and continues through Sunday, 25 January.

Page Three LETTURA DEL GIORNO IN ATTESA DEL MESSIA La storia nel Vangelo di oggi di Giovanni e dei suoi discepoli che vedono e seguono Gesu’ sembra cosi’ semplice e casuale che e’ facile non capire i significativi atti di fede compiuti. Giovanni indica Gesu’: “Guardate,” egli dice,”Ecco l’Agnello di Dio”. La fede di Giovanni in Gesu’ e’ evidente, cosi’ evidente che i suoi discepoli immediatamente lo lasciano e seguono Gesu’. I due discepoli professano il loro atto di fede. Seguono Gesu’, passano il tempo con lui, e sono pronti a divulgare la buona notizia della loro scoperta: “Noi abbiamo trovato il Messia”. E’ facile dimenticare che le aspettative di generazioni, le speranze di molte epoche di fedeli erano realizzate in questi semplici atti di fede. L’Agnello di Dio, il Messia, previsto dai profeti, era finalmente arrivato. Quasi ognuno dei Giudei aspettava il Messia allora; chi oggi nella nostra societa’ e’ in aspettativa per segni della presenza del Messia? FEAST OF ST. BLASÉ: Tuesday, 3 February 2015 is the memorial of St. Blasé, Bishop and Martyr, who is venerated for the protection against ailments of the throat. Throats will be blessed at 12:15PM Mass at SJC.

John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there is the Lamb of God.” John’s faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that John’s disciples immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus. The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to spread the good news of their discovery: “We have found the Messiah.” It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly everyone among the Jewish people was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our own society watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah today? TODAY’S READINGS: First Reading: 1 Samuel 3:3b-10 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a Gospel: John 1:35-42 Through baptism we have been joined to the Lord who calls us to be his disciples. How well do we listen to his voice? How willing are we to do his will?. From ORDO 2015 REFLECTION QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK ADULT: In what ways do you experience being called by Jesus? CHILD: What can you do this week to show that you are a follower of Jesus? All the earth shall bow down before you, O God, and shall sing to you, shall sing to your name, O Most High! (Psalm 66 (65):4) 594 18 de Enero de 2015 Página Cinco ¡Habla Señor que tu Siervo escucha! Hoy, comenzamos oficialmente el "Tiempo Ordinario" del año litúrgico, la Palabra de Dios nunca deja de sorprendernos y desafiarnos. Un ejemplo lo escuchamos en el llamado de Samuel y la respuesta de Jesús "Venid y lo veréis" a los dos discípulos de Juan el Bautista, uno de ellos es Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro. Samuel es el único hijo de Hannah, el hijo que ella dió a luz después de que ella le rogó a Dios que le regalara un hijo en su esterilidad, un hijo al que consagraría a Dios. El Señor de hecho responde a su oración y ella lo llama "SHMU-el (Samuel)", que significa "Dios ha escuchado." Hannah le entrega a su hijo como una "ofrenda" al Señor, confiando su pequeño hijo al anciano sacerdote Elí en el templo de Shiloh "donde estaba el arca de Dios." Lo que Dios nos da, es un regalo, lo que nosotros le entregamos a Él es nuestra pobre ofrenda. Esta historia de lo imposible se repite una y otra vez en nosotros. Tantas cosas que creíamos imposibles ¡las hemos logrado! ¡Lo que parecía inalcanzable lo hemos obtenido! Aquello que antes era difícil, con la constancia y la perseverancia se volvió corriente. Sin embarg, cuando hablamos de nuestra relación con Dios, hay algo diferente. El no quiere que solamente le escuchemos o le encontremos una hora a la semana. Él quiere que vivamos en una relación con Él y para Él. Dios quiere ser parte de nuestras vidas y de nuestra historia, así mismo espera que nosotros hagamos parte de la suya. La mejor manera de nutrirnos de su presencia es con la Eucaristía y con la Palabra. De allí se derivan todos los recursos que la Iglesia promueve para que podamos crecer y creer más. Jesús se volvió, y les dice: “¿Qué buscáis?” “Rabbí ¿dónde vives?” Les respondió: “Venid y lo veréis”. Fueron, pues, vieron dónde vivía y se quedaron con él aquel día. ¿Que estás buscando? Esta pregunta sigue haciendo eco en cada uno de nosotros que nos sentimos inquietos y con deseos por más… muchas veces no sabemos ni de que… Pero como dijo San Agustín, mi alma estaba inquieta, hasta que encontró reposo en Ti. Dios quiera que nuestra comunidad parroquial se siga enriqueciendo espiritualmente para que podamos juntos establecer el Reino en medio de nosotros. Que bendición comenzar este año, sabiendo que en Septiembre tendremos al Santo Padre tan cerca de nosotros. Es una oportunidad más para orar y fortalecer nuestras familias y ¿por qué no la familia eclesial? Así es que digámosle juntos: "Habla, Señor, que tu siervo escucha". Padre Cesar Rubiano.

(Salmo 65, 4) 594 LECTURA DEL DÍA EN BÚSQUEDA DEL MESÍAS El relato del Evangelio de hoy en el que Juan y sus discípulos ven y siguen a Jesús, suena tan sencillo e informal, que fácilmente pasan desapercibidos los importantes actos de fe que ocurren. Juan señala a Jesús: “Miren”, les dice, “este es el Cordero de Dios”. La fe de Juan en Jesús es evidente, tan evidente que los discípulos de Juan inmediatamente se van de su lado y siguen a Jesús. Los dos discípulos a su vez hacen un acto de fe. Ellos siguen a Jesús, pasan tiempo con él, y no demoran en compartir la buena nueva de su descubrimiento: “Hemos encontrado al Mesías”. Es fácil olvidar que las expectativas de generaciones, las esperanzas de muchos siglos de fieles se estaban cumpliendo en estos sencillos actos de fe. El Cordero de Dios, el Mesías, anunciado por los profetas, finalmente había llegado. Prácticamente todo el mundo en el pueblo judío estaba a la búsqueda del Mesías en esa época; ¿quién de nuestra sociedad busca señales de la presencia del Mesías hoy día? FIESTA DE SAN BLÁS Acompáñenos el martes 3 de febrero 2015 para honrar a San Blás y continuar con la tradición de bendecir las gargantas de los feligreses.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced, but he could not hit the target. Getting discouraged, he headed back for dinner. While walking back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. He let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it! He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes.' But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.' Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?' So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.' Sally just smiled and said, 'Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?’ She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help. After several days of this, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.’ Thought for today and every day hereafter Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done, the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) Whatever it is, you need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you. The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved. 594 18 January 2015 Page Eleven OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS PARISH ORGANIZATION & COMMUNITY PARISHES NEWS LADIES OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Next Corp.

Thanks to those members who attended the first meeting of 2015. IS GOD CALLING YOU? Vocational discernment groups meet to assist young men who are discerning the possibility that God may be calling them to a life of priestly ministry. These groups are designed to explore a priestly vocation with other like-minded men through prayer and sharing vocation stories and experiences. The group meetings are not meant to convince anyone that the priesthood is their vocation. They are designed to assist you in discovering if the priesthood is your true vocation and build your relationship with Christ along the way. If you are a faithful, single, Roman Catholic man, between the ages of 18 and 40, and are asking yourself whether God is calling you to be a priest, you are cordially invited to attend this month’s discernment meeting on January 25th, from 4pm to 6pm at Saint Joseph Parish, 685 Hooper Avenue in Toms River, New Jersey. Join Rev. Scott Schaffer, as he shares his experiences of the priesthood, followed by prayer and concluding with a great meal and conversation. Please register with the Diocese of Trenton Vocation Office at vocations@dioceseoftrenton.org or by calling (609) 406-7449.
