We also pray for all who have died serving our country, that they may be welcomed into paradise, where they will live forever with God. PRAYER AND REFLECTION January 24, rd Sunday in Ordinary Time In today s Gospel, Jesus dramatically declares in the synagogue who he is and what is his work. What he needed to accomplish was clear to him. Paul s letter to the Corinthians tells us that we are all united in this work, no matter who we are or what our particular role might be. Jesus mission and ministry are achieved by each and every one of us, as members of one body. Do we know and embrace the role that is uniquely ours? Could we stand up and identify our own part in Jesus work? My friends, we who understand what Jesus came to proclaim pause to pray now for ourselves and for the whole world. For the whole community of believers called to carry on Christ s mission we pray, For peace throughout the world; for peacemakers and for those who resist peace for whatever reason we pray, For respect for those in the body of Christ whose role is different from our own we pray, For those searching for ways to participate in Jesus mission; and for those who do not know or who fear their calling we pray, For those whose mission is endangered by violence, prejudice or misunderstanding, especially Christians under siege throughout the world we pray, For those who do not feel a sense of belonging in this community or any community we pray, For those whose lives are too busy or too burdened to reflect on their role in Jesus mission we pray, For all those we are called to serve through our parish ministries; for the sick and dying; and for those who have died we pray, PRAYER: Loving God, you have always promised your people liberty, recovery, freedom and mercy. Your Son, Jesus, has unleashed these gifts in the world; and you have empowered us to bring them to others today. Give us the courage to exercise the ministries to which we are called. We pray in his holy name. Amen. ~CELEBRATION JANUARY 2016

Tickets are available at the Parish Center and after all the masses. Cost is $10 and children 12 and under are free. If beer is possible, good is not enough. WORLD MARRIAGE DAY 2016 LATIN AMERICA Next week, we will take up the collection for the Church in Latin America. In Peru, the 14 villages of Chazuta, in Moyobamba, are all located away from the city center, with the most remote only accessible by boat. The faithful in these communities do not have access to catechetical formation, and members often feel separated from the life of the universal Church. Through a grant from the Collection for the Church in Latin America, the religious congregation of the Missionaries of Jesus was able to provide faith formation, spiritual retreats, and workshops to nearly 250 people. Upon completion, participants were better equipped to help others deepen their faith and answer questions. The program also renewed their sense of commitment to their parishes and created stronger bonds within their own families. Through this program, members of the Chazuta villages felt the love and support of the universal Church. Please support programs like these and give generously in next weeks collection. For more information visit \ We are currently preparing for World Marriage Day which will be held here at Holy Family Parish on Sunday February 14th If you are a member of Holy Family Parish or know someone who is a member, celebrating a special anniversary (25th 30th 35th 40th 45th 50th 55th 60th or more) please call the Parish Center (978) with the name and address so we can send a special invitation for the World Marriage Breakfast. Please, remember to pick up a food bag located at the rear of the church next weekend to bring back on February 6th & 7th St. Blaise World Throat Blessing Day January 30th & 31st

5 O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porque ele me consagrou com a unção para anunciar a Boa Nova aos pobres; III DTC Ano C: Neemias 8,2-4a ; Sl 19B(18); 1Cor 12,12-30; Lc 1,1-4; 4,14-21 O No prólogo (1,1-4), a solidez dos ensinamentos, transmitidos pelas testemunhas oculares, suscita a fé e a experiência do amor de Deus (=Teófilo). Jesus, guiado pelo Espírito, exerce o seu ministério em toda a região da Galileia. Ele chega à cidade de Nazaré, onde fora criado, e entra na sinagoga em dia de sábado. Levanta-se para fazer a leitura e explicar o texto sagrado. O Espírito do Senhor me ungiu para anunciar a Boa Nova aos pobres; a libertação aos presos; a recuperação da vista aos cegos; a liberdade aos oprimidos e proclamar um ano da graça do Senhor (4,18-19; cf. Is 61,1-2; 58,6). As pessoas tinham os olhos fixos em Jesus, pois nele se cumprem as Escrituras. Cristo renova a esperança dos oprimidos, manifestando a graça, a benevolência, o favor de Deus. O ano da graça remete à libertação anunciada pelo ano jubilar, que segundo Levítico 25, proporcionava o cancelamento das dívidas, a libertação dos escravos e o retorno das pessoas às suas propriedades. Esdras e Neemias animam o povo sofrido a reconstruir o país e a fazer renascer a identidade através da palavra de Deus (1ª leitura). A palavra suscita a adesão ao Senhor e transforma a tristeza em alegria, proporcionando a comunhão e a partilha. O/a salmista contempla a dádiva da Lei, a Torá, e expressa o seu valor vital, qual luz a iluminar o caminho da fidelidade. Pela fé em Cristo partilhamos de uma existência comum, formando um só corpo na diversidade de dons e ministérios que se completam no amor fraterno. Em Jesus cumprem-se as Escrituras e o ano da graça do Senhor, pois ele proclama a salvação integral ao ser humano. O olhar fixo em Cristo e no seu projeto leva a centrar as forças no serviço ao Reino da vida. A Palavra nos ilumina para sermos amigos de Deus.. Oração (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Ó Deus, rico em misericórdia, dirige a nossa vida segundo o teu amor, para que possamos, em nome do teu Filho, frutificar em boas obras e agir sempre a serviço da vida. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém. Pe. Jonas D. Christal ( Encontre-nos no Facebook: Comunidade Católica de Lowell LEITURAS DA SEMANA: 2ª feira: At 22,3-16 ou At 9,1-22; Sl 116(117); Mc 16, ª feira: 2Tm 1,1-8 ou Tt 1,1-5; Sl 95(96); Lc 10,1-9. 4ª feira: 2Sm 7,4-17; Sl 88(89); Mc 4, ª feira: 2Sm 7, ; Sl 131(132); Mc 4, ª feira: 2Sm 11,1-4a.5-10a.13-17; Sl 50(51); Mc 4, Sábado: 2Sm 12,1-17a.10-17; Sl 50(51); Mc 4, o DTC: Jr 1, ; Sl 70(71); 1Cor 12,31 13,13; Lc 4,21-30.

6 <<Prayer is not just spending time with God. It is partly that but if it ends there, it is fruitless. No, prayer is dynamic. Authentic prayer changes us unmasks us, strips us, indicates where growth is needed. Authentic prayer never leads us to complacency, but needles us, makes us uneasy at times. It leads us to true self-knowledge, to true humility. St. Theresa of Avila -Living with Christ The Sunday readings challenge us to recognize that since God shows no partiality, neither should we. This week s readings begin the stories of two kingdoms. The selections from Samuel tell how God transforms the Hebrew people into the kingdom of Israel. In the gospels, empowered by his baptism, Jesus proclaims God s new kingdom, calls followers, and offers signs and cures to show how God s power conquers evil.
