PASTOR'S WEEKLY MESSAGE
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, B, January 31, 2021

Teaching with Authority
St. Mark was a skilled narrator who used few words to describe great events.
In the first chapter of the gospel he wrote, St. Mark introduced us to the minis-
try of Jesus with his baptism, the proclamation of repentance and the kingdom
of God, the call of the disciples, and his first teaching and miracle. What Jesus
taught the people made a deep impression on them. While the Scribes relied on
the authority of others to explain and teach the Law and scriptures, Jesus taught
on his own authority and by the power from above. He was different and re-
freshingly compelling with his message. For the people, it was not so much what
was said as to who said it and the action behind the word. The authority of Jesus
flowed from his transparent life. He did not just tell the people to love but he practiced it himself. Je-
sus never turned down anyone who came to him for healing or other needs. He did not just preach
about forgiveness, he practiced it himself as he forgave his persecutors on the cross. His actions
gave authority to his teachings. That was why the demon shouted in the man that was possessed
today. The presence of Jesus was a threat to the demon for where the spirit of God is, the evil spirit
becomes uncomfortable. When the light comes, darkness disappears.
In the first reading, Moses told the people that God will raise another prophet for them who will lead
them with authority as he did. This prophet or leader will give them the messages of God and not
his own message. Joshua was that great leader of Israel after Moses, but Jesus is the perfect leader
of God’s people who gathers people of all races together to the kingdom. He did not only preach
about the kingdom but lived out the kingdom values in his own life – the kingdom of justice, peace,
and love.
How much trust do we put on those in authority today? Are our leaders carrying out the will of God
themselves? Or are they telling us something and doing other things? How about in our homes?
Parents teach their children to be kind and loving but when children observe that mom and dad
are nasty to each other, they might imbibe nastiness rather than kindness. When going to church to
worship God is a burden for parents, how are they going to tell their children that it is good to serve
the Lord?
Jesus was not like the scribes and Pharisees. He spoke with authority. He was not hypocritical. He
did not just speak the truth he was Truth Incarnate. Jesus gave orders to unclean spirits, and they
obeyed him. It was not the words that kicked the devil out, it was the person who spoke those
words. He did not call us just to do some of the things he did, he called us to be his presence for
others. We are called to destroy evil in our world. We cannot do this unless we are determined to
be Christ-like. Today we pray that we might be invested in the authority of Christ, an authority that
flows not just from what we say, but from who we are as followers of Christ.
National Catholic Schools Week: This national event highlights the values and blessings of our Cath-
olic schools. It begins today and will end on February 6th. Our students who are able, will attend
the 11:00AM Mass in their school uniform. Two of them will be our Lectors for the Mass. Due to the
pandemic, the Open House will be virtual this year so check out the flyers in the narthex and visit the
school’s website www.smmcs.org for more information. Join us as we celebrate and focus on the
value that Catholic education provides to our children and its impact on our church, community,
and our nation. We thank parishioners who support our Catholic School for believing in the educa-
tion of the young.
Have a very blessed week!

The Presentation of the Lord
February 2, 2021
“We too are called to welcome Jesus who
comes to meet us. To encounter him: the
God of life is to be encountered every day of
our lives; not now and then, but every day. To
follow Jesus is not a decision taken once and
for all, it is a daily choice.” —Pope Francis,
Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, 2019.
The Presentation of Jesus in the temple shows him to be the firstborn Son who be-
longs to the Lord. With Simeon and Anna, all Israel awaits its encounter with the
Savior—the name given to this event in the Byzantine tradition. Jesus is recognized
as the long-expected Messiah, the “light of the nations” and the “glory of Israel,” but
also “a sign that is spoken against.” The sword of sorrow predicted for Mary announces
Christ’s perfect and unique oblation on the cross that will impart the salvation of God
has “prepared in the presence of all peoples” (CCC, no. 529).

MENSAJE DEL PÁRROCO
4o Domingo en Tiempo Ordinario, B, 31 de enero de 2021

Enseñar con autoridad
San Marcos era un experto narrador que usó pocas palabras para describir
grandes eventos. En el primer capítulo que escribó del Evangelio, San Marcos nos
presentó el ministerio de Jesús con su bautismo, el anuncio del arrepentimiento,
el reino de Dios, la llamada de los discípulos, su primera enseñanza y milagro. Lo
que Jesús enseñó al pueblo hizo una profunda impresión en ellos. Mientras los Es-
cribas se basaron en la autoridad a los demás para explicar, enseñar la Ley y las
Escrituras, Jesús enseñó por su propia autoridad y poder celestial. Era diferente y
refrescantemente convincente con su mensaje. Para el pueblo, no era tanto lo
que se decía en cuanto a quién lo dijo y la acción detrás de la palabra. La auto-
ridad de Jesús fluyó de su vida transparente. No sólo le dijo a la gente que amara, sino que lo prac-
ticó él mismo. Jesús nunca rechazó a nadie que viniera a él para la curación u otras necesidades.
No sólo predicaba sobre el perdón, él mismo lo practicaba mientras perdonó a sus perseguidores
en la cruz. Sus acciones dieron autoridad a sus enseñanzas. Por eso el demonio fue expulsado del
hombre que estaba poseído. La presencia de Jesús era una amenaza para el demonio porque
donde está el espíritu de Dios, el espíritu maligno se vuelve incómodo. Cuando llega la luz, la oscu-
ridad desaparece.
En la primera lectura, Moisés dijo al pueblo que Dios levantará otro profeta para ellos que los guiará
con autoridad como el lo hizo. Este profeta o líder les dará los mensajes de Dios y no su propio men-
saje. Josué fue ese gran líder de Israel después de Moisés, pero Jesús es el líder perfecto del pueblo
de Dios que reúne en el reino a personas de todas las razas. Jesús, no sólo predicó sobre el reino,
sino que vivió con los valores su reino en propia vida: el reino de la justicia, la paz y el amor.
¿Cuánta confianza ponemos en los que tienen autoridad hoy en día? ¿Están nuestros líderes llevan-
do a cabo la voluntad de Dios mismo? ¿O nos están diciendo algo y haciendo otras cosas? ¿Qué
tal en nuestras casas? Los padres enseñan a sus hijos a ser amables y amorosos, pero cuando los
niños observan que mamá y papá son desagradables el uno con el otro, podrían ser insensateces
en lugar de bondad. Cuando ir a la Iglesia a adorar a Dios es una carga para los padres, ¿cómo
van a decirles a sus hijos que es bueno servir al Señor?
Jesús no era como los escribas y fariseos. El hablaba con autoridad. No era hipócrita. No sólo dijo
la verdad, era La Verdad Encarnada. Jesús dio órdenes a los espíritus inmundos, y ellos le obe-
decieron. No fueron las palabras las que echaron al diablo, sino la persona que dijo esas palabras.
No nos llamó sólo para hacer algunas de las cosas que hizo, nos llamó a ser su presencia para
los demás. Estamos llamados a destruir el mal en nuestro mundo, pero no podemos hacer esto a
menos que estemos determinados a ser como Cristo. Hoy oramos para que seamos invertidos en
la autoridad de Cristo, una autoridad que brota no sólo de lo que decimos, sino de lo que somos
como seguidores de Cristo.
Semana Nacional de Escuelas Católicas: Este evento nacional destaca los valores y bendición de
nuestras escuelas católicas. Comienza hoy y terminará el 6 de febrero. Nuestros estudiantes que
puedan, asistirán a la misa de las 11:00AM en su uniforme escolar. Dos de ellos serán nuestros Lec-
tores para la Misa. Debido a la pandemia, la Casa Abierta será virtual este año así que echa un
vistazo a los folletos en el narthex y visita el sitio web de la escuela www.smmcs.org para obtener
más información. Acompáñenos mientras celebramos y nos centramos en el valor que la edu-
cación católica proporciona a nuestros hijos y su impacto en nuestra iglesia, comunidad y nuestra
nación. Agradecemos a los feligreses que apoyan a nuestra Escuela Católica por creer en la edu-
cación de los jóvenes.
¡Que tengas una semana muy bendecida!
