The Liturgical Year – A
Rhythm That Makes Our
Lives Holy
Our year of worship or
Liturgical Year began with the 1st
Sunday of Advent, November 30,
2014. The Advent season of preparation for the
Lord’s return in glory, as well as the celebration
of the birth of Jesus Christ, came to its conclusion
on Christmas day. The Christmas season
extended from December 25 through our
celebration of the Baptism of the Lord on January
11, 2015. Ordinary Time starts this Sunday,
January 18, 2015.
Our Liturgical year is built around the great
feast of Sunday, the Lord’s day.
We cannot speak of Ordinary Time without
speaking of Sunday. The every seven-day
celebration of the Lord’s Day is the basic
structure upon which the church year is built.
“Remember, keep holy the Lord’s day. Six days
you shall labor and do all your work. But the
seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God;
you shall not do any work….” (Exodus 20. 8)
The great liturgical seasons of AdventChristmas and Lent-Easter are more expansive
celebrations of particular aspects of the one
Passover or Paschal mystery which we celebrate
every Lord’s Day; the death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ.
“The special seasons focus our attention upon
critical dimensions of one mystery, a mystery so
overwhelming that we are compelled to separate
out its various elements for particular attention.
These seasons in no way minimize the critical
importance of the Sunday celebration throughout
the rest of the year.
which comes together, remembering that on the
first day of the week the Lord of life was raised
up and creation came at last to completion.
Sunday as a day of play and worship is a
sacrament of redeemed time.
How we live Sunday proclaims to the world
what we believe about redeemed time now and
forever.
What happens in our churches every Sunday
is the fruit of our week. What happens as the
fruit of the week past is the beginning of the
week to come. Sunday, like all sacraments, is
simultaneously a point of arrival and departure
for Christians on their way to the fullness of the
Kingdom. This is not ordinary at all. This is the
fabric of Christian living.”
(Taken from the St. Andrew Bible missal, William
J. Hirten Co., Inc., Brooklyn, New York, 1982.)
Ordinary Time this year will end with Ash
Wednesday on February 18, and the beginning of
the 40 day Lenten season of prayer, fasting and
works of charity (almsgiving). The high point of
our church year is Holy Week, concluding with
the Easter Vigil on the night of Saturday, April 4
and the start of the 50 day Easter season of
rejoicing in the victory of Christ over sin and
death. The birthday of the church, Pentecost
Sunday, May 24, completes the Easter season of
festivity. Ordinary time resumes and extends
until the 1st Sunday in Advent, 2015.
Peace, Father Bruce
Ordinary time is not very ordinary at all.
Ordinary time, the celebration of Sunday, is the
identifying mark of the Christian community

Sunday:
In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly,
“Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him. May we, too, be
listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say
like the Psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”
Living Stewardship:
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish
who answer their call to service by assisting Catholic

Flu Season
It is that time of the year again. If you have a cold or feel one
coming on, please do not receive from the chalice. Also do not feel
obligated to shake hands at the Sign of Peace; a smile a word and a
wave will do; and do not be offended if someone does not offer their
hand.
If you are sick there is no obligation to attend Mass. Personal prayer and reflection on the scriptures is encouraged as well as
viewing the Mass on television. We are all encouraged to use common sense in these matters; to do all that we can to maintain health,
wellness and limit the exposure to infection. Most importantly let’s
keep in our prayers those of our parish community who are ill and are
not able to participate at the liturgy with us.

Counseling Information for
Families and Individuals
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
What blessings you bring to our Church when you
share your Catholic faith as you Serve God by
Serving Others. Your support of the Catholic
Ministries Appeal touches so many of our
neighbors in need, and we are so grateful for your
important participation.
As we begin the 2015 Appeal, I am reminded of
Pope Francis’ call that “amid so much darkness, we
need to see the light of hope and to be men and
women who bring hope to others.” When we come
together to help support these critical ministries,
that is what we are doing – we are dispelling that
darkness and bringing hope and love to more than
600,000 people every year.
You are helping to feed the hungry, provide clothes
and emergency support to the needy, strengthen
parishes throughout our Diocese, help form our
future priests and deacons and provide funding for
Catholic Charities’ outstanding programs and
services. You are also helping to ensure that our
ministries bring Christ’s light to hundreds of
thousands of people in hospitals, colleges and even
our jails.
We hope that you will once again join with me, your
Pastor and many of your neighbors by making a gift
to the 2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal, and if
possible increasing your already generous gift in an
effort to help spread the “light of hope” to even
more people in need.
With prayers and gratitude, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Bishop of Rockville Centre

2º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El domingo pasado celebramos el bautismo del
Señor. En el Evangelio de hoy Juan indica a sus
discípulos quien era Jesús: “Este es el Cordero de
Dios”. Bastó eso para que los discípulos lo siguieran
y pasaran el día con Jesús. Llamada o vocación,
como desees llamarle, pero lo cierto es que Dios nos
llama a todos y en todos los tiempos. Así lo
experimentó Samuel mil años antes de Cristo, así
como los primeros discípulos después del bautismo
de Jesús. Si leemos la Biblia con atención, nos
daremos cuenta de que Dios ha llamado a personas
de todas las edades y condiciones. Es decir, llama a
pobres y ricos por igual. El dilema es la respuesta.
Unas personas responden rápidamente y otras
necesitan más tiempo. ¿Tú cómo respondes?
La vocación tiene cuatro puntos clave. El primero es
el llamado. El segundo es el encuentro. “[Jesús] se
volvió hacia ellos, y viendo que lo seguían, les
preguntó: ‘¿Qué buscan?’” La vocación tiene una
estructura de relación personal entre Dios y cada
uno. Así ha sido en todos los tiempos. Jesús facilita
el encuentro. “¿Dónde vives, Rabí?” “Vengan a ver”.
El tercer momento es el seguimiento. Es decir, debe
haber un proceso vocacional —o seguimiento libre—
donde exista una responsabilidad de relación
permanente con él. El cuarto punto es la misión.
Dios nos llama, y si existe una respuesta
inmediatamente, confía la misión. “Deja tu país, a tu
parentela y la casa de tu padre” (Gn 12, 1). Jesús
nos llama hoy a ser sus discípulos. ¿Cómo
respondemos? Puede existir el llamado a ser
esposos fieles, consagrarse al sacerdocio o vida
religiosa, o vivir como laicos comprometidos. Por
último, ¿cómo respondemos al llamado de la fe?
GRUPO DE ORACION:
(Renovación Carismática) Todos los miércoles de 7 a 9:30 PM en
la cafetería Y la Santa Misa, en la Iglesia, los últimos miércoles de
cada mes a las 7:00 P.M.
GRUPO JUVENIL:
Se reúnen todos los sábados, después de Misa. Para
información, hablar con Nelson (516)351-8913/ Erlin (631)7051229.
