Nations shall behold your vindication, and all the kings your glory. — 1saiah 62:2

Entonces las naciones verán tu justicia, y tu gloria todos los reyes. — Isaías 62:2

Como llegara a faltar el vino,

Maria le dijo a Jesus:

“Ya no tienen vino”.

Jesús le contestó:

“Mujer, ¿qué podemos hacer tú y yo?

Todavia no llega mi hora”.

Pero ella dijo a los que servían:

“Hagan lo que él les diga”.

Juan 2:3-5

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time A VISIBLE GOD We find it difficult to convey ideas to people unless we can actually show them something, demonstrate what we mean. God, who is invisible and truly beyond human understanding, apparently faces the same difficulty. People want to see, not just listen to an idea. So God gave us Jesus Christ, God made visible in the world. During these past weeks we have seen how Jesus was revealed as an infant to the shepherds and the magi, and then began his adult “public life” at his baptism by John. Today’s Gospel reading tells us of his “first sign,” providing wine for the wedding guests at Cana. Of course, even Jesus, God made visible, was not always easily understood in his own day, nor is he even now. So we have to ponder what we see: the poverty and simplicity of his birth, his humility and openness before John the Baptist, his kindness and compassion toward people in their ordinary problems, such as running short of wine at a wedding. Yet it is in coming to know Jesus that we come to know God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS

St. Dominic Savio He is the patron saint of our Parish. He is a saint at nearly 15 years of age. He was educated by St. John Bosco (a.k.a. Don Bosco) at the Oratory of St. Francis

de Sales. For St. Dominic Savio, holiness consists of always being cheerful and of doing one’s ordinary duties, extraordinarily well. His Feast Day is on May 6.

Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario UN DIOS VISIBLE Nos resulta difícil transmitir ideas a la gente a menos que le mostremos algo, que le ilustremos lo que queremos decir. Dios, que es invisible y verdaderamente más allá del entendimiento humano, aparentemente tiene la misma dificultad. La gente quiere ver, no solamente quiere escuchar una idea. Por eso Dios nos dio a Jesucristo, Dios hecho visible en el mundo. En las semanas recientes hemos visto cómo al nacer Jesús es mostrado a los pastores y a los Reyes Magos, y luego empezó su “vida pública” en su bautismo con Juan. El Evangelio de hoy nos habla de su “primer signo”, que es proveer vino para los invitados a la boda en Caná. Por supuesto, hasta a Jesús, que es Dios hecho visible, no siempre se le entendía en su tiempo y ni siquiera ahora. Por lo tanto, tenemos que considerar lo que vemos: la pobreza y simplicidad de su nacimiento, su humildad y franqueza ante Juan Bautista, su amabilidad y compasión hacia las personas en sus problemas ordinarios, como la falta de vino en una boda. Pero al conocer a Jesús conocemos a Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine without knowing where it came from, ...the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first,

and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jn 2:9-10

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN Did you know? TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT THE FINE LINE BETWEEN OBEDIENCE AND PROTECTION Children learn from an early age that adults are figures of authority — teachers, police officers, bus drivers, babysitters. We need our children to listen to the people who are in charge of them, but this message must be communicated so that children know it’s okay to stick up for themselves too. Adult predators may try to use their authority to gain control over their victims. Children should know that when it comes to private parts, secrets, and things that seem dangerous or wrong, they shouldn’t worry about disobeying the adult in charge, and instead talk to a trusted adult or a parent. For a copy of the VIRTUS® parent’s guide, visit http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.

¿Sabia Que? HABLE CON SUS HIJOS SOBRE LA ESTRECHA DIFERENCIA ENTRE OBEDIENCIA Y PROTECCIÓN Los niños aprenden desde la edad temprana que los adultos son figuras de autoridad: maestros, oficiales de policía, conductores de autobuses y niñeras. Necesitamos que nuestros niños escuchen a las personas que están a cargo de ellos, pero al mismo tiempo que sepan que está bien defenderse por sí mismos. Los depredadores adultos pueden tratar de usar su autoridad para obtener control sobre sus víctimas. Los niños deben saber que cuando se trata de las partes privadas, secretos y cosas que parecen peligrosas o incorrectas no tienen que obedecer al adulto que está a su cargo, sino que deben hablar con un adulto de confianza o un padre de familia.
