He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets.

Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him. —Mk 1:19-20 Un poco más adelante, vio a Santiago y a Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que estaban en una barca, remendando sus redes. Los llamó, y ellos,

dejando en la barca a su padre con los trabajadores, se fueron con

Jesús. —Mc 1, 19-20

El Evangelio narra que Jesús llama a sus cuatro primeros discípulos, y proclama la Buena Nueva de Dios. Decía: “El tiempo se ha cumplido, el Reino de Dios está cerca. Renuncien a su mal camino y crean en la Buena Nueva” (Marcos 1:15).

Observemos, que, después del anuncio viene la invitación al seguimiento. La similitud entre las lecturas es muy parecida.

Jonás proclama, la gente de la ciudad responde. Jesús, anuncia la Buena Nueva y llama al ministerio a sus discípulos. Llamado, conversión, y misión están entrelazados. Lo principal en todo es creer, sin ese detalle del corazón, no puede darse respuesta.

Ahora, se sigue proclamando la cercanía de Dios de muchas maneras, los caminos se abren al seguimiento, a darnos la mano unos a otros, a luchar hasta el cansancio por la salud de los demás. ¿Lo has visto o vivido así? Yo creo que sí. La conversión, sin duda es ablandar el corazón y el compromiso viene del mayor hasta el menor.

Later in the afternoon, he experienced a sharp pain in his chest and arm. Quick thinking and action brought John to the emergency department with a diagnosis of a significant heart attack. Surviving this ordeal, he found himself face to face with his cardiologist, having an honest conversation about things that needed to change. “I came close to death,” John found himself thinking. Then came the remorse. He was a young man with a loving wife and children who were very close to facing life without him. John found himself with intense sorrow for living an unchecked and self-indulgent life that almost brought him to his demise. He wanted to change.

We all have our wake-up calls. We have experiences and encounters that force us to really think twice about choices we have made and directions we have taken. Often, we find ourselves looking at those we have hurt square in the eye and wallowing in our foolishness. We regrettably realize that we have allowed our needs to lure us into making some cruel mistakes. We impulsively say things and flippantly do things that reveal our unredeemed and unhealed self. It is a self we stumble over and try to tame but can’t quite seem to master and control. Help!

We spin our wheels, naively thinking that we will somehow, perhaps through persistence, get ourselves unstuck. But, we don’t. We just get out of the car, feeling very helpless, and ignorantly look at the mess we got ourselves into. Did we ever think to ask someone for help? Or, taken the advice of One who is wiser and avoid this route altogether? “Come after me,” are words that Jesus says to all of us. In order to heed his invitation, we must leave our ego-self behind and follow.

When we really see and understand the freedom, peace, justice, and love he offers, we find ourselves with such sorrow in our hearts for how foolish and silly we have been. All the misguided choices and sinful actions come full view and we see how risky our random impassioned behaviors really have been. Repentance is beautiful. When done with a sincere and contrite heart, it directs us to the glory that can be ours, ignites us with the challenge of living a life in service of others and reminds us that all is well.

BAPTISMS

A newborn in your home who needs the sacrament of Baptism? Please stop by the Parish Office with your baby’s birth certificate and the names of the Godparents.

The Godparents need to be practicing Catholics who are living in grace with the Catholic Church.

BAUTISMOS

¿Hay un recién nacido en su familia que necesite el sacramento de bautismo? Por favor vaya a la oficina parroquial con el acta de nacimiento de su bebé y la

información de los padrinos.

Los padrinos deben ser Católicos que estén viviendo su fé Católica y estén en gracia con la Iglesia Católica.

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA:

RECONOCE A DIOS EN TUS MOMENTOS ORDINARIOS Dar Hasta que Duela

Una de las características de la corresponsabilidad diaria es estar comprome- tido: perseverar a diario en una forma de vida que reconoce que todo pertenece a Dios.

Lo sé, lo sé. Es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo.

Pregúntale a Zebedeo. Después de todo, es una gran imagen que obtenemos del Evangelio. “Dejaron a su padre Zebedeo en la barca junto con los jornaleros y lo siguieron”.

Estaba Zebedeo, haciendo su negocio, remendando redes con sus dos hijos, que sin duda eran sus mejores trabajadores; tenían que haber sido más dedicados que los jornaleros, que trabajaban por un salario más que por la familia. Y en un instante se van, siguiendo a este hombre extraño.

No sé ustedes, pero si mis hijos me dejaran en un caluroso día de verano para terminar el césped yo solo, no estaría muy feliz.

Pero Zebedeo debió haber sido alguien muy especial. Quizás se dio cuenta de que sus hijos no le pertenecían, en realidad no. Le pertenecían a Dios, y desde el principio de los tiempos, se había designado que estarían entre los primeros discípulos de Cristo. Él pasó, llamó, ellos lo siguieron y Zebedeo obedeció. Me imagino que él simplemente volvió a remendar sus redes.

Zebedeo ya entendía lo que diría santa Teresa de Calcuta milenios después: “Da hasta que duela.”

"Me estás haciendo perder el tiempo." “He hecho mucho por ella;

ella me debe esto. " ¿Con qué frecuencia pensamos que las cosas, e incluso las personas y las relaciones, nos pertenecen?

La verdad es que ninguno de ellos lo es. Debemos estar listos, como lo estuvo Zebedeo, para entregarlos a Dios cuando Él pase caminando.

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP

RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS Give Until It Hurts

One of the characteristics of Everyday Stewardship is to be committed — to persevere daily in a way of life acknowledging that everything belongs to God.

I know, I know. Easier said than done.

Just ask Zebedee. It’s quite an image we get from the Gospel, after all. “So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.”

There was Zebedee, about his business, mending nets with his two sons, who were undoubtedly his best workers — they had to have been more dedicated than the hired men, who worked for wages rather than for family. And in an instant off they go, following this strange man.

I don’t know about you, but if my kids left me on a hot summer day to finish the lawn by myself, I wouldn’t be too happy.

But Zebedee must have been someone quite special. Perhaps he realized that his sons didn’t belong to him — not really. They belonged to God, and from the beginning of time, it had been appointed that they would be among the first disciples of Christ.

He passed, he called, they followed, and Zebedee obliged. He simply went back to mending his nets, I imagine.

Zebedee already understood what St. Teresa of Calcutta would say millennia later: “Give until it hurts.”

“You’re wasting my time.” “I’ve done so much for her; she owes me this.” How often do we think things, and even people and relationships, belong to us? The truth is none of them do. We must be ready, as Zebedee was, to surrender them to God when He comes walking past.
