pastor’s note
CHURCH
Young Samuel is acutely sensitive
to the voice that calls him in the
temple. As soon as the living God
pronounces his name, the child
awakens, attentive to the Presence.
Through the instruction of Eli, he is
open to recognize and to name the
One who speaks. Something similar
happens the first time Jesus meets
some of his future disciples. Jesus is walking on the
banks of the Jordan. On the testimony of the Baptist
who points him out, two men begin to look for him,
attentive to his word, “Come and see.” There is no
constraint. Jesus invites them to walk freely toward the
truth.

ADMINISTRATION
Of the two disciples who follow Jesus, only Andrew
is named. We are left to guess that the other is the
beloved disciple. But behind his anonymity he is each
of us, called in the same way to recognize the Lord.

questions.
With God’s Grace,
Fr. Sean Weeks
Pastor
Action alert re: IRS mailing. The IRS informed the
Archdiocese of Portland that, in an effort to assist
individuals potentially affected by tax fraud, it is
attempting to issue an Identity Protection PIN (IP
PIN) number to every individual who had a criminal
background check processed through the former
background check vendor for the Archdiocese of
Portland in Oregon and the Archdiocese of Seattle,
regardless of when, or for which parish, school or other
organization. The IP PIN number has been or will be
sent by the IRS via US Mail by early January 2015. The
IP-PIN must be included on your 2014 tax return. The

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL REFLECTION
SPECIAL COLLECTION THIS
WEEKEND
In the Gospel today, Jesus asks, “What are you looking
for?” Often we are looking for happiness in very
selfish ways, but we find that when we look for ways
to make others happy, it is then that we truly become
happy. For a very small investment of time you can
make a huge difference in someone’s life.
The special collection this weekend is for Catholic
Communications. The United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops established the Catholic
Communication Campaign (CCC) collection in 1979 to
respond to the national and local communications needs
of the Church. The collection is unique in that proceeds
are split equally between each participating diocese and
the national office. Dioceses use their share of the CCC
collection to support local communications efforts such
as televised Masses and diocesan newspapers. On the
national level, CCC funds support the development and
production of a wide range of media initiatives that are
carried out by USCCB staff and grantee organizations.
A portion of the CCC’s national funds are also set aside
for grants to aid Catholic communication efforts in
developing nations.
Please join us for our next meeting on Monday, January
19, at 7:00 pm in the Church Hall. Meetings last less
than an hour.
SCRIPTURE JANUARY 25
Jonah 3:1-5, 10; 1Corinthians 7:29-31; Mark 1:14-20
Jesus challenges us to repent – to change our lives.
What changes might I need to make in order to
follow Jesus today?

Ministerio latino
la Nota del parroco
REFLEXIÓN
El joven Samuel es extremadamente
sensitivo de la voz que lo llama en el
templo. Tan pronto como el Dios vivo
pronuncia su nombre, el niño despierta,
atento a la presencia. A través de la
instrucción de Eli, él es abierto para
reconocer y dar nombre al que hablas.
Algo similar sucede el primer vez Jesús
encuentra con algunos de sus futuros
discípulos. Jesús estaba caminando a
orillas del Jordán. Al testimonio del bautista que le señala,
dos hombres empiezan a buscarle, atento a su palabra, “Ven
y mirar.” No ay restricción. Jesús se invitarlas a caminar con
libertad a la verdad.
II Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario, Ciclo B.
En la primera lectura del Libro de Samuel vemos la llamada
de Dios al profeta, aún sin que el conociera a Dios, pero
se encontraba junto al Sumo Sacerdote Eli quien estaba al
servicio del cuidado del Arca. La voz de Dios lo llamaba
por su nombre diciéndole: Samuel, Samuel. Como todo un
muchacho, fue donde estaba Eli a preguntarle que quería,
Eli le dijo que el no le había llamado y así sucedió durante
tres veces. A la cuarta vez y siguiendo las indicaciones de su
maestro Eli, Samuel responde a Dios: Habla Señor que tu
siervo escucha. A muchos nos llega la llamada de Dios aun
sin ser consciente lo que ello significa realmente, pero cuando
nosotros respondemos como Samuel: Habla Señor que tu
siervo escucha, definitivamente es un paso de fe que damos
en nuestras vidas; esa llamada puede referirse a un cambio
de vida, actitud, dirección de nuestras vidas, como también
a la responsabilidad de servir en un grupo o ministerio de
la Parroquia de San Pio X. Pero el paso que sigue es aun
mas importante y el salmo 39 nos dice cual debe ser nuestra
respuesta ante esa llamada: “Aquí estoy Señor para hacer
tu voluntad”.
De los dos discípulos que siga Jesús, solo Andrés se nombra.
Nos quede a adivinar que el otro es el discípulo amado. Pero
detrás de su anonimato él es cada uno de nosotros, llamado en
el misma manera para reconocer el Dios. (San Andrés Misal,
pág. 520)
Con la Gracia de Dios,
Padre Sean Weeks
Parroco
La lectura del Santo Evangelio según San Juan en el
capitulo 1,35-42 nos relata como Juan el Bautista ve pasar
a Jesús y les dice a sus discípulos: “Este es el Cordero de
Dios”. Cuando sus discípulos escucharon esa descripción,
supieron que era el que estaban esperando y siguieron
al Maestro. Cuando Jesús los vio que venían detrás, les
preguntó que buscaban; ellos respondieron con otra pregunta:
¿Maestro, dónde vives? Jesús les respondió: “Vengan a ver”.
Nuevamente vemos la llamada de Dios a seguirle, como en
la primera lectura, y la respuesta de estos discípulos fue total,
fueron a ver donde vivía y se quedaron con Jesús. Andrés,
hermano de Simón Pedro era uno de los que había decidido
seguir a Jesús y llegando donde Pedro le dijo: “Hemos
encontrado al Mesías”. Pedro al escuchar esto se levantó y
fue a buscarlo y lo encontró. Que hermoso sería que nosotros
tuviéramos esa misma convicción de poder decirle a nuestros
familiares, amigos y conocidos de que hemos encontrado al
Mesías y con nuestras acciones demostrarle a ellos que lo
seguimos, que somos sus discípulos y hacerles el llamado
también a que lo descubran y lo sigan, esto es precisamente
llevar el Evangelio, esto es responder a la llamada del
Maestro, esto es lo que hace un verdadero discípulo de Cristo
que ha respondido a la llamada del Señor.
AVISO IMPORTANTE REFERENTE A UN
COMUNICADO DEL IRS POR CORREO POSTAL:
Alerta de acción referente a un comunicado del IRS por
correo postal. El IRS le informo a la Arquidiócesis de
Portland que con el proposito de asistir a individuales
posiblemente afectados por fraude fiscal, está intentando
expedir un numero PIN de Protección de Identidad (IP PIN) a
cada individuo quien obtuvo una verificación de antecedentes
penales a través del antiguo proveedor de verificación de
antecedentes para la Arquidiócesis de Portland en Oregon y
la Arquidiócesis de Seattle, sin importar cuando o para que
parroquia, escuela u organización fue realizado. El numero
IP PIN ha sido o será enviado por el IRS por correo postal
(USPS Mail) a principios de este enero 2015. El numero
IP-PIN debe ser incluido en su declaración de impuestos
para el año 2014. El IRS no procesara aquellas declaraciones
de impuesto que no incluyan este número IP PIN, con la
intención de proteger a personas para que no se presente un
declaración fraudulenta en su nombre para el año fiscal 2014.
Por favor lea la información importante que ha sido publicada
sobre este tema del numero IP- PIN en la página web de la
Arquidiócesis: www.archdpdx.org. Haga clic en donde dice

Contribuyente. Por favor no contacte a la Arquidiócesis. La
Arquidiócesis no tiene información sobre la emisión de los
numero IP-Pin.
La segunda lectura de la Primera Carta del Apóstol san Pablo
a los Corintios nos dice como debe de vivir un verdadero
discípulo de Cristo que ha escuchado el llamado y ha
respondido a este como el salmista: Aquí estoy Señor para
hacer tu voluntad, ya que cuando respondemos a la llamada
de Jesucristo nos hacemos uno con El; esto automáticamente
nos conduce a un cambio total de nuestra orma de vivir,

nuestra manera de pensar, es una conversión total motivada
por el amor plasmado en la doctrina cristiana. Pablo en su
carta nos dice cual es el propósito del cuerpo para un cristiano,
es el de ser templo del Espíritu Santo, por consiguiente
debemos de venerar, respetar y cuidar de nuestros cuerpos.
Es un claro llamado para aquellas parejas que viven en unión
libre, casadas a lo civil o aquellas que tienen relaciones
sexuales fuera del Santo Matrimonio; que recapaciten y
entiendan que una vez que han aceptado seguir a Cristo, ya sus
cuerpos son templo de Dios, por tanto la vida, los actos, deben
ser acordes de acuerdo a esa llamada fy dignidad a la que
hemos sido llamados; un verdadero cristiano no puede vivir en
unión libre, un verdadero cristiano no puede tener relaciones
sexuales fuera del matrimonio, ya que ha comprendido que
en su cuerpo habita Dios, por consiguiente debe santificarlo,
porque nuestros cuerpos le pertenecen a Dios.
