Reflexiones de Scott Hahn Scott Hahn Reflections Please Pray For... Presenting the Present: Scott Hahn Reflects

• n the Feast of the Presentation:

Today’s feast marks the Presentation of the Lord Jesus in the Temple, forty days after he was born. As the firstborn, he belonged to God. According to the Law, Mary and Joseph were required to take him to the Temple and “redeem” him by paying five shekels. At the same time, the Law required the child’s mother to offer sacrifice in

• rder to overcome the ritual impurity brought about by

childbirth. So the feast we celebrate shows a curious turn of events. The Redeemer seems to be redeemed. She who is all- pure presents herself to be purified. Such is the humility of

• ur God. Such is the humility of the Blessed Virgin. They

submit to the law even though they are not bound by it. However, the Gospel story nowhere mentions Jesus’ “redemption,” but seems to describe instead a religious consecration, such as a priest might undergo. Saint Luke tells us that Jesus is “presented” in the Temple, using the same verb that Saint Paul uses to describe the offering of a sacrifice. Another parallel is the Old Testament dedication of Samuel to the Temple as a priest. The drama surrounding Jesus’ conception and birth began in the Temple, when the Archangel visited Mary’s kinsman, Zechariah the priest. And now the story of Jesus’ infancy comes to a fitting conclusion, again in the Temple. All the readings today concern Jerusalem, the Temple, and the sacrificial rites. The first reading comes from the Prophet Malachi, who called the priests to return to faithful service, and foretold a day when a Messiah would arrive with definitive purification of the priesthood. Likewise, the Psalm announces to Jerusalem that Jerusalem is about to receive a great visitor. The Psalmist identifies him as “The LORD of hosts . . . the king of glory.” Christ now arrives as the long-awaited priest and

• redeemer. He is also the sacrifice. Indeed, as his life will

show, He is the Temple itself.

Presentando el regalo: Scott Hahn reflexiona sobre la Presentación del Señor:

La festividad que celebramos hoy es la Presentación del Señor en el Templo, ya cuarenta días después de su

• nacimiento. Como primogénito, él le pertenecía a Dios.

Según la ley, a María y José les correspondía llevar al niño al Templo y “redimirlo” pagando cinco monedas. Y a su vez, la ley requería que la madre de la criatura hiciera una ofrenda de sacrificio para ser ritualmente purificada después de su parto. Es así que esta celebración nos muestra una serie de eventos algo curiosos. El Redentor que nos redimió parece ser redimido. Ella que es toda pura se presenta para ser purificada. He ahí la humildad de Dios. He ahí la humildad de la Santísima Virgen. Se someten a la ley aun no estando obligados a cumplirla. Otro detalle curioso es que en el evangelio no hay mención alguna de que Jesús haya sido “redimido”, más bien este aconteciendo se describe como una consagración religiosa, como la de un sacerdote. San Lucas nos dice que Jesús fue “presentado” al Templo, empleando el verbo que San Pablo usa para describir la

• frenda de sacrificio. Otro paralelo se encuentra en la

consagración en el Antiguo Testamento de Samuel como sacerdote del Templo. El drama en torno a la concepción y nacimiento de Jesús comienza en el Templo, cuando el Arcángel visita al pariente de María, el sacerdote Zacarías. Y ahora el relato de la Infancia de Jesús concluye apropiadamente de nuevo en el Templo. Las lecturas de hoy tienen que ver con Jerusalén, el Templo, y los ritos del sacrificio. La primera lectura viene del profeta Malaquías, quien exhorta a los sacerdotes a volver a la fidelidad del servicio sacerdotal y luego predice el día en que el Mesías llegará para la purificación definitiva del sacerdocio. Así también, el Salmo anuncia a Jerusalén que ella está a punto de recibir una gran visita. El salmista identifica al visitante como “El Señor de los ejércitos … el rey de la gloria.” Es ahora que Cristo llega como el sacerdote y redentor tan anisadamente esperado. Es también Él mismo, el mero sacrificio. Efectivamente, su vida nos mostrará luego que Él es el mismísimo Templo.

• Calvary. Along the way, we will unpack the biblical

Lenten Bible Study

The word "choice" (as used

• n the subject of abortion) is

probably the most misleading and deceptive term in the English language. While it might sound good to say that government should allow people to make all their

• wn choices, that is neither

practical nor desirable. Some choices are crimes. All crimes are choices. Once a woman is pregnant, barring a miscarriage or an induced abortion, she will have a baby. Therefore, her

• nly "choice" is, "How is the

baby going to come out? "Will he or she come out alive and crying, or dead and in pieces? Truly, her choice is between life and death---a live baby, or a dead one.

A Womans Right To Choose

All-powerful Father, Christ your son became man for us and was presented in the temple. May he free our hearts from sin and bring us into your presence. Amen.

Please join us for The Virtues for Couples-Grow Your Marriage by Growing in Virtues. This will be a 4 part

Valentine’s Sale

In the Gospel, we hear Simeon say to Mary: “… your own soul shall be pierced with a sword, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be laid bare.” Your generosity enables the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to bring hope to parents whose hearts are burden with worries and concerns. “Of noble birth and great beauty,” so the ancient accounts describe Saint Agatha, martyred during an early persecution for refusing a powerful Roman’s offer

• f marriage, since she had consecrated her virginity to
• Christ. An early preacher, Saint Methodius, reflects

instead on her name, noting that, in Greek, Agatha means “good,” goodness being something we can all strive for, nobly born or common, blessed with beauty, or not! So brutal the tortures that violated her youthful innocence, Agatha, like Agnes and several other women martyrs, was honored from time immemorial by having her name inscribed in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I). Long invoked as protector against earthquakes, Mount Etna erupted as she was being tortured, recent attention has focused on the particularly cruel torture decreed for Agatha, the cutting off of her

• breasts. This has inspired cancer survivors to promote

Saint Agatha as patron and intercessor for women courageously facing breast cancer, for their families and the multitude of supporters who participate in fund- raising marches and races, and, of course, for the dedicated researchers who seek a cure.

http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/cultural-diversity/african-american/african-american-events.cfm La palabra escoger (cuando se refiere al aborto) es posiblemente el mandato más engañoso que existe en el idioma Inglés. A pesar de que parezca una buena idea que el gobierno permita a la gente hacer sus propias decisiones, no es ni práctico ni deseable. Algunas decisiones son crímenes.Todos los crímenes son decisiones. Después que una mujer está embarazada, al impedir el aborto, ella tendrá el bebé. Entonces, su única decisión sera, Cómo vendra el bebé? El o ella llegará vivo y llorando ó muerto y en pedazos? En realidad, su decision será de vida ó muerte. Un bebé vivo ó muerto.

"De noble nacimiento y gran belleza", por lo que los antiguos relatos describen a Santa Ágatha, martirizada durante una temprana persecución por rechazar una poderosa oferta de matrimonio de los romanos, ya que ella había consagrado su virginidad a Cristo. Un predicador joven, San Metodio, reflexiona sobre su nombre, señalando que, en griego, Agatha significa "bueno", ¡la bondad es algo por lo que todos podemos luchar, nobles o comunes, bendecidos con belleza, o no! Tan brutales las torturas que violaron su inocencia juvenil, Agatha, como Agnes y varias otras mujeres mártires, fue honrada desde tiempos inmemoriales al tener su nombre inscrito en el Canon Romano (Oración Eucarística I). Durante mucho tiempo invocado como protector contra los terremotos, el Monte Etna entró en erupción mientras la torturaban, la atención reciente se ha centrado en la tortura particularmente cruel decretada para Agatha, el corte de sus senos. Esto ha inspirado a las sobrevivientes de cáncer a promover a Santa Agatha como patrocinadora e intercesora para las mujeres que enfrentan valientemente el cáncer de seno, para sus familias y la multitud de simpatizantes que participan en marchas y carreras de recaudación de fondos y, por supuesto, para los investigadores dedicados que buscan un cura.
