JANUARY 15, 2017                                               SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

                                          From the Pastor’s Desk
                             The cheer of the holydays is over. Christmas came and filled our hearts with the
                             certainty of God’s love for humanity; the tenderness of baby Jesus lying on the
                             manger, became a point of attraction for believers, and most of us, moved to imi-
                             tate the generosity of the Father in Heaven, we exchanged gifts and good wishes
                             with those near and those afar. As I look back at the jolly season, a deep sense of
                             gratitude fills my heart. Many where the generous members of our community who
                             devoted time and talent to make out of our celebrations a true Spiritual experience.
                             Liturgical ministers, choir members, volunteers who decorated the Church, people
                             of good will ready to step in and help… Each one of you made it possible for us to
                             undertake the Christmas journey as a very uplifting event. To all, and each one of
                             you: Thank you very much, and may the good Lord reward your generosity.
                                     There is one issue -however-, that I see necessary to address: While experi-
                             encing gratefulness for the time and talent of those devoted to serve in our church,
                             I must also express the need we have as a Faith Family, to make our Parish-Shrine
                             a part of our Christmas planning when it comes to preparing the list for Christmas
gifts. Most of the Parishes I know, depend on their Christmas collection to create a healthy financial stability.
When preparing their annual budgets, pastors rely heavily on people’s generosity during Christmas and Easter
and the plentiful response of committed parishioner make it possible for them to reach the end of the year with
a positive balance. Sadly, this is not our case. Except for a few members of our community whose generosity
in our Christmas collection I applaud, the large majority sees the Christmas collection (and the Easter one) as
just another regular second collection. Last year I tried sending a Christmas newsletter with a special appeal,
that did not work either, so here I am, inviting you all to take the time and reflect on the importance of gifting
Our Lady of Mount Carmel with a little extra generosity during these two occasions.
        As we begin our journey on the ordinary time, let us be faithful to our Christian call and become com-
mitted stewards, for it is each one’s commitment what will make it possible for us to build a strong community
of Faith where the values of the Gospel are promoted and lived out while acknowledging the intercession of
our Blessed Mother in all our endeavors.
Adsum,

                                                                     Event: Family Health Fair

penance, were forbidden.
    Inevitably, though, people wanted to come               “We Believe -We Achieve -We Succeed”
together, and so eventually a Liturgy of the Word
developed for Good Friday. This was the first step
toward today’s shape of the Triduum, and gradually
new ideas were embraced, including the veneration
of the cross and a simple Communion service.
Interestingly, the Word remained central, since we
know that in those days the pope did not receive
Communion at this liturgy, even though the
faithful had that option. In the other churches of
Rome, priests and people received Communion
under both species. Although the custom of
Communion on Good Friday took hold, it did not
endure past the Middle Ages. The central liturgies of
the year slowly unraveled and disappeared from
parish life. Remember that there were no seminaries
in those days, and books were a rare luxury. Most
priests could only manage to celebrate a simple
“low” Mass, and few parishes could afford the ritual
books that would guide a priest through the
complex forms. Holy Week remained important in
private devotion, but for a time the liturgies
virtually disappeared.

JANUARY 15, 2017                                              SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

                                           Mensaje del Párroco
                               Termino la estación festiva… las Navidades son ahora, tan solo, un recuerdo en
                               nuestro corazón. Al iniciar nuestro peregrinar en el Tiempo Ordinario, quiero
                               aprovechar para agradecer a quienes generosamente colaboraron con su tiempo,
                               talento y esfuerzo para que nuestras celebraciones Navideñas fueran una verda-
                               dera experiencia espiritual. Ministros litúrgicos, miembros del Coro, voluntarios
                               para decorar el templo, gente de buena voluntad dispuesta a darnos una mano
                               cuando se necesitó; a cada uno de ustedes: Gracias y que Dios les pague con cre-
                               ces su dedicación a nuestro Santuario Parroquial. Fueron muchos los que se sa-
                               crificaron durante estos días Gracias porque esa dedicación hizo posible que la
                               época Navideña fuera una autentica experiencia espiritual para todos.
                                       Mientras expreso mi gratitud por la generosidad de quienes están com-
                               prometidos con su tiempo y su talento, me gustaría hacer un comentario que es-
                               pero llegue al corazón de todos aquellos que hacen parte de esta gran familia es-
                               piritual aquí en el Monte Carmelo. Desde mi llegada a la Parroquia me he dado
                               cuenta que la colecta que se hace el día de Navidad, queda muy por debajo de la
                               cantidad que otras parroquias logran juntar en esa ocasión. Desafortunadamente
no nos hemos dado cuenta que los gastos extras de estas fechas la mayoría de las veces son más exagerados
que el resto del año, y no logramos hacer a nuestra Parroquia parte de esa lista de regalos con los que expresa-
mos a los demás cuanto les queremos. La mayoría de los Párrocos cuenta con la generosidad de los parroquia-
nos tanto en Navidad como en Pascua para lograr un balance adecuado en los gastos, desafortunadamente aquí
en el Carmen, no logramos ver esas dos colectas como algo especial. Excepto por unos cuantos, a quinees
agradezco profundamente que manifestaran su devoción generosamente en la segunda colecta de Navidad, la
mayoría no logra ver esta ocasión como una oportunidad para manifestar su gratitud a la Parroquia.
        Al continuar avanzando con Cristo el Señor en nuestras celebraciones dominicales, al volver a nuestros
grupos y actividades parroquiales después de la estación festiva, hagámoslo con la conciencia de quien se sien-
te llamado a colaborar también en el mantenimiento de una Parroquia donde estamos llamados a sentirnos en
casa.

gubernamentales han intentado revitalizar esta

JANUARY 15, 2017                                                 SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

                                            Fr. Feccia’s Reflection
                                 Ecco l’Agnello di Dio che toglie il peccato del mondo. Fedele al suo ruolo di
                                    precursore, il Battista ha distolto dalla sua persona l’attenzione degli uomini
                                    inviati da Gerusalemme per indagare sul suo conto. «In mezzo a voi sta uno
                                    che voi non conoscete» (Giov. 1,26). Quanto a lui, Giovanni, non è che la
                                    «voce» della «Parola» a cui è chiamato a preparare la via.
                                    Secondo la tradizione giudaica, il messia doveva rimanere nascosto finché Elia
                                    non gli avesse conferito l’unzione e non lo avesse rivelato pubblicamente ad
                                    Israele. Prima di battezzare suo cugino, Giovanni stesso non sapeva che era il
messia. Ma ora ha visto, e gli rende testimonianza. Ha visto lo Spirito scendere e fermarsi su Gesù ed ha intu-
ito, alla luce delle Scritture, l’agnello della espiazione futura. Il servo scelto da Dio per battezzare nello Spiri-
to: «È lui il Figlio di Dio!» (v.34) Presentando Gesù, il quarto vangelo annuncia fin dall’inizio il battesimo di
morte che egli dovrà ricevere per togliere i peccati del mondo; il fuoco che è venuto a portare sulla terra (Lc
12,48-50). Ma suggerisce anche la sua incommensurabile superiorità, la preesistenza divina che il Battista gli
riconosce:«Era prima di me» (v.30). Certi destini unici sono come fiumi di cui si scopre la potenza soltanto
molto più a valle della sorgente.
Ci sono due modi riduttivi di considerare Gesù Cristo, sottraendosi alla testimonianza che bisogna rendergli
sulle orme di Giovanni. Si può relegarlo in cielo, proclamandolo Dio, ma un Dio inaccessibile, la cui salvezza
riguarda soltanto l’eternità. E si può rinchiuderlo entro i confini della terra, non vedendo in lui altro che un uo-
mo fra gli uomini, più vicino e più fraterno, ma orfano del Padre e staccato dallo Spirito. Non si può ridurre il
Cristo, alla terra o al cielo. «In qualunque stato ci troviamo, mettiamo Gesù fra Dio e noi».
Il nostro battesimo— Giovanni Battista compie un gesto che non era nuovo: il battesimo nell’acqua. Già prima
di lui, molti altri ebrei si preparavano alla venuta del messia con bagni rituali. Ma egli vi apporta una dimen-
sione nuova: l’annuncio che il vero battesimo non è quello dell’acqua, ma dello Spirito. Per essere fedeli al
vangelo, non basta venire immersi nell’acqua battesimale, tanto meno quando ne siamo ancora incoscienti.
Bisogna piuttosto lasciarsi invadere dalla novità e dal fuoco dello Spirito che, dopo il battesimo di Gesù, vuole
posarsi su ogni uomo.

Gesù, agnello liberatore
Stando alla cronologia giovannea, Gesù fu messo a morte la vigilia della festa degli azzimi, vale a dire
della Pasqua, nel pomeriggio, nell’ora stessa in cui, secondo le prescrizioni della legge si immolavano nel
tempio gli agnelli. Dopo la morte non gli furono spezzate le gambe come agli altri condannati, ed in
questo fatto l’evangelista vede la realizzazione di una prescrizione rituale concernente l’agnello
pasquale (Gv 19,36; cf Es 12,46). In altre parole Gesù, il Cristo, è l’agnello della Nuova Pasqua che, con
la sua morte, inaugura e suggella la liberazione del popolo di Dio. In questa luce va letta la prima lettura,
che parla della missione del Servo di Iahvè. Molto presto la Chiesa primitiva ritroverà in Cristo i
lineamenti di questo profeta descritto dal Secondo-Isaia. Il testo è un brano del secondo dei quattro carmi
di Isaia che parlano del «Servo di Iahvè».
Il Servo è una figura simbolica che incorpora in sé tutto il destino di un popolo, e che, mediante il suo
compito storico, rivela Dio come salvatore e come liberatore. Il
compito del Servo di Iahvè non riguarda solo il ritorno e la
liberazione dei profughi ebrei da Babilonia, ma acquista una
dimensione ecumenica, universale. La stessa liberazione storica
di Israele diventa anticipazione e pegno di una salvezza e di
una liberazione definitiva dalle dimensioni cosmiche «fino
all’estremità della terra». Riconoscendo il Servo di Iahvè in Gesù
«agnello di Dio che toglie il peccato dei mondo», la comunità
primitiva esprime la propria fede in Cristo liberatore e salvatore
del mondo.
