Our Lady of Lourdes—World Day of the Sick Tuesday, February 11

Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Look upon me with mercy. When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privileged sanctuary where you dispense your favors, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirm- Ities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with un bounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. My loving Mother, obtain my request. I will try to imitate your virtues so that I may one day share your company and bless you in eternity. Amen.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 9, 2014 Page 6 World Marriage Day

Today, February 9th is World Marriage Day which honors husband and wife as head of the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily, married life.

The idea of celebrating marriage began in Baton Rouge, LA in 1981, when couples encouraged the mayor, the governor and the Bishop to proclaim St. Valentines Day as “We Believe in Marriage Day”. The event was so successful; the idea as presented to and adopted by Worldwide Marriage Encoun- ter’s national leadership. By 1982, 43 Governors officially proclaimed the day and the celebrations spread to U.S. military bases in several foreign countries. In 1983, the name was changed to “World Marriage Day” designated to be celebrated each year on the second Sunday in February. World Marriage Day celebrations continue to grow and spread to more countries and faith expres- sions every year.

The World Marriage Day symbol speaks of the role and values we proclaim. Husband and wife are symbolically seen as two candle-like figures, reminding us that married love calls us to help enlight- en the world. The couple is joined by a heart, focusing on love as the power that fosters unity with- in the couple and generates the capacity to be life-giving and inspire others to fruitfulness and unity.

The theme for World Marriage Day has been permanently adopted as “Love One Another.” This phrase is the commandment given us by Jesus in John 15:12. It speaks to us in a simple but challenging way of how our Heavenly Father wishes us to live. Loving one another is a daily decision—simple, but challenging.

Prayer for our Marriage

Heavenly Father, we thank You for your tremendous gift of the Sacrament of Marriage. Enable us to grow in our intimacy with You and with each other. Teach us the beauty of forgiveness so we may become more and more one in heart, mind and body. Strengthen our communication with each other, and help us become living signs of your love. Help us to be examples of commitment, love and service to our and children. Makes us a sign of the unity which Jesus prays for at the Last Supper. We open ourselves to the guidance of your Holy Spirit, who empowers us to love in Jesus’ name and walk in His footsteps. Amen.

Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 9 de febrero de 2014

El justo brilla como una luz en las tinieblas.

— Salmo 112 (111):4

LUZ DEL MUNDO

Si no podemos dar testimonio concreto del amor de Cristo en nuestras vidas, entonces, sin duda, somos sal que se ha vuelto desabrida. Nuestro sabor y nuestra influencia se han perdido. Qué difícil es recuperarlos de nuevo.

A fines de la década de 1940 el movimiento cristóforo empezó en Estados Unidos. El lema de los cristóforos: “Es mejor encender una vela que maldecir la oscuridad”, atrajo a muchos a través del uso eficaz de los medios de comunicación, los anuncios y la inspiración de sus miembros para proclamar a Cristo en el lugar de trabajo.

Jesús nos llama a ser esa vela y a ponerla en el lugar más visible. Jesús, que trajo la vida eterna al mundo, nos dice que nosotros también somos la luz del mundo. Mediante nuestro mundo y nuestras acciones tenemos que dejar que nuestra luz brille ante todos para que al ver nuestras buenas obras, todos puedan glorificar a Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

La primera santa americana fue Rosa de Lima, peruana de nacimiento. Murió en 1617 y fue canonizada en 1671, diez años después de la primera fundación inglesa en lo que hoy son Estados Unidos de América. Esta santa americana es acompañada por otros santos como san Felipe de Jesús (mexicano) canonizado en 1862 y Madre Francisca Cabrini (italoestadounidense y la primera santa de EE. UU.) canonizada en 1946.

Oficialmente hay 60 santos y 77 beatos que nacieron o trabajaron en América. La mayoría de estos son 50 mexicanos, 33 brasileños, 12 canadienses, nueve estadounidenses, ocho colombianos, siete peruanos, tres argentinos y tres chilenos. Guatemala, Cuba, República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela tienen un santo(a) cada uno. Estados Unidos y Canadá comparten siete mártires. La mayoría de los santos o santas del continen- te americano fueron beatificados o canonizados durante los últimos 100 años. Sólo ocho de ellos y ellas fue- ron canonizados durante los últimos ocho años.

No todos estos santos nacieron en América, pero sí dedicaron su vida a evangelizarla. Estos 137 santos de la Iglesia universal son un testimonio de la obra del Espíritu Santo en el continente americano. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
