PAGE 3 Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
First Reading — You humble of the land, seek justice and humility, and the Lord will be your protection (Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13). Psalm — Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is theirs! (Psalm 146). Second Reading — God chose the weak of the world, those who count for nothing, so that whoever boasts should boast in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:26-31). Gospel — Jesus taught from the mountain: Blessed are the poor in spirit (Matthew 5:1-12a).
Question for Children: Choose one of the Beatitudes and share how you will make it part of your life. Question for Adults: How do you describe what it means to be “blest” in your own life?
Primera lectura — Yo dejaré en medio de ti, pueblo mío, un puñado de gente pobre y humilde; entonces serán como el rebaño que pasta y que descansa, y no habrá quién los perturbe (Sofonías 2:3; 3:12-13). Salmo — ¡Dichosos los pobres de espíritu, porque de ellos es el Reino de los cielos! (Salmo 146) Segunda lectura — Es por la gracia de Dios que ustedes moran en Jesucristo. “El que se gloría, que se gloríe en el Señor” (1 Corintios 1:26-31). Evangelio — Dichosos los pobres de espíritu; alégrense y salten de contento, porque su premio será grande en los cie-los (Mateo 5:1-12a). Pregunta para los niños: Elija una de las Bienaventuranzas y comparta cómo la hará parte de su vida. Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Cómo describe lo que significa ser “bendecido” en su propia vida?
THE CHOSEN REMNANT Zephaniah is one of the least-known of the Old Tes-tament prophets. He speaks in today’s first reading of impending judgment. But the Lord will leave a “remnant” in Israel. This image of a remnant, or remainder, was to become vital to both Judaism and Christianity. Paul’s letter to Corinth makes obvious his deep con-cern for the Christians there. They are too self-confident, he says, too sure of themselves. He admonishes them to remember that Christ has given them all they have. Today’s Gospel comprises the opening of Jesus’ “Great Sermon.” As God gave Moses the law on Sinai, so now Jesus gathers his disciples on a hillside to teach them the new law. Each of these Beatitudes contrasts the hu-miliation of the present with the glory of the future: pov-erty vs. the riches of God’s kingdom, hunger for holiness vs. fulfillment in the Spirit, persecution vs. the reign of God. Jesus is here speaking to God’s chosen “remnant.”

Treasures from our Tradition Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe
Until very recent decades “Holy Thursday” and “Good Friday” were centered on personal pious devotions, not public liturgy. In urban America, at least in cities with a significant Catholic population, Holy Thursday was about veneration of the Blessed Sacrament. People were encour-aged to walk to seven churches for a “visit” to each par-ish’s repository, a kind of temporary tabernacle on a side altar, closer in proximity to the faithful than the usual tab-ernacle on the distant high altar. On Good Friday, the most popular form of devotion was the Stations of the Cross, or a three-hour program of word and preaching beginning at noon. The Holy Thursday seven-church hike was a way of participating in a custom of the city of Rome. Tradition-ally, each day in Lent was assigned to a particular parish church or basilica in the city. Each week of Lent thus had seven churches, and pious people tried to get to each one of them. The pilgrimage was a symbol of unity and also the journey of faith. Originally, the pope would go to each place for a liturgy, but political strife removed the pope from Rome in 1305. With the papacy relocated in France, the custom ceased until Pope Leo XIII expressed interest in restoring it in 1900, and Blessed John XXIII fully re-stored the custom in 1959. By the time Pope Leo began to revive the custom, many American cities had enough par-ishes and monasteries that the faithful could vicariously participate in the revived tradition of stational liturgies by a very long walk!
Esta semana recordamos la memoria de san Juan Bosco conocido como “Don Bosco”. Es curioso el apelativo de “Don” ya que es un título para nobles señores. En siglos pasados era el título común para un sacerdote diocesano, mientras que el título hermano se reservaba para sacerdo-tes y hermanos religiosos. En la Iglesia católica existen dos clases de sacerdotes. Unos son diocesanos o seculares quienes dedican su vida a la diócesis a la que pertenecen. Estos sacerdotes hacen voto de celibato y obediencia al obispo local. El otro grupo de sacerdotes son los que per-tenecen a órdenes religiosas. Ellos viven en comunidad y hacen votos de pobreza, celibato y obediencia a su comu-nidad. En muchas partes a todos los sacerdotes religiosos o diocesanos se les llama “padre”. Este título fue usado en la Primera Iglesia y durante la Edad Media para honrar a hombres santos, ya fueran laicos o sacerdotes. Se les lla-maba “padres” sólo cuando habían llegado a mostrar, con una larga vida, que podían animar a los demás con su buen ejemplo. Todos los sacerdotes debían vivir de tal manera que merecieran el título de padre, sin desearlo directamente.

FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
Thursday, February 2 is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. An old English name for this day is Candlemas. This feast celebrates the fortieth day after
Christmas. The symbol of forty days is the reason for the feast’s traditional importance and for the practice of blessing candles for use in churches and homes. Christ-mas the light came into the world; Epiphany it rose to shine like a star; Candlemas the light is placed in our arms and like old Simeon, we embrace heaven’s eternal youth.

Proteger a los Niños
DID YOU KNOW? Pay attention to and address risky behavior. It is possible for children to abuse other chil-dren, and that when it happens, the effects can be devas-tating for the child who has been abused. As caregivers, make sure to notice any young people who are exhibiting behaviors that are troublesome or inappropriate. Be there to step in when high-risk behavior is present. Support the youth, and give him/her the opportunity to get profes-sional help, to go to counseling with a therapist that is trained in this issue, and to talk with you about the challenges they are facing so that together you can find solutions. For a copy of the VIR-TUS© article “Turning Our Attention to Teen and Youth Offenders,” email [email protected] or call (213) 637-7227.
¿SABIA USTED? Preste atención y aborde compor-tamientos de riesgo. Es posible que los niños abusen de otros niños, y que cuando esto suceda, los efectos puedan ser devastadores para el niño que ha sido abusado. Como cuidadores, asegúrense de notar cualquier gente joven que está exhibiendo comportamientos problemáticos o in-apropiados. Permanezca allí para intervenir cuando haya comportamientos de alto riesgo. Apoye a los jóvenes y déles la oportunidad de obtener ayuda profesional, acudir a consejería con un terapeuta capacitado en este tema y hablar con usted sobre los desafíos que enfrentan para que juntos puedan encontrar soluciones.
