PARISH RECTOR Third Sunday in Ordinary Time The Reverend Monsignor Kieran E. Harrington Today we begin a continuous reading of [email protected] Mark’s that will carry us through this segment of the liturgical season of PAROCHIAL VICAR Ordinary Time. Remember that in Cycle The Reverend Israel Perez B of the Lectionary, most of [email protected] readings are taken from the Gospel ac- PAROCHIAL VICAR cording to Mark. The Reverend Pascal Louis [email protected] The does not begin with a narrative about ’ birth. Instead Mark begins by reporting on the prea- Deacon Fausto Duran ching of . John is described as the voice in the wilderness sent [email protected] to prepare the way of . Immediately after describing the work of John the Baptist, Mark reports on Jesus’ and his temptation in the desert. DEACON/RCIA DIRECTOR Jesus’ public ministry begins after the arrest of John the Baptist. Mark wants his Deacon Manuel H. Quintana readers to understand the important connection between the end of the minis- [email protected] try of John the Baptist and the beginning of Jesus’ own ministry. SECRETARY Fabiola Edmond As we learn at the beginning of today’s Gospel reading, Jesus preaches the King- [email protected] dom of God in continuity with the preaching of John the Baptist. Like John the Baptist, Jesus’ pronouncement of the kingdom is a call to repentance. Yet Jesus’ ADMINISTRATOR preaching is greater than John’s. Jesus begins the time of fulfillment; the King- Bill Slattery dom of God is already here. This will be demonstrated again and again, both in [email protected] Jesus’ words and in the actions that follow. Jesus’ healings and forgiveness of sins are signs of the Kingdom of God that he announces in his teaching. CCD DIRECTORS Ms. Jessica Figueroa [email protected] In contrast to last week’s Gospel, in Mark’s Gospel Jesus takes the initiative in calling his first disciples. As mentioned last week, it was more typical of Mrs. Brenda Donald first-century rabbinical schools for students to seek out rabbis, asking to be [email protected] their disciples. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus breaks with this tradition and invites his disciples to learn from him. Jesus is said to have first called four fishermen—Si- MUSIC DIRECTOR mon, Andrew, James, and John. Simon and Andrew are brothers. Jesus promises Mr. Alejandro Zuleta that he will make them “.” James and John are also brothers. Mark [email protected] does not report Jesus' words of invitation to them, but he does report that they left their fishing immediately; their father, , was left behind in the boat. BULLETIN Alma Ramales [email protected] Mark’s Gospel is told with a great sense of urgency and immediacy. Jesus is a person of action, and events occur in rapid succession. We see this in today’s YOUNG ADULTS Gospel. Time is of the essence; the fishermen immediately put aside their li- [email protected] velihood to become Jesus’ disciples. The Kingdom of God is here and now. The time of fulfillment is at hand. How might our lives be different if we more fully shared this sense of the immediacy of God’s kingdom?

JANUARY 17TH, 2021 As the first Stephen was being ST.
