T he prophet Isaiah inspires us with these words: “Light shall rise for you in

the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday.” All of us celebrating the liturgy today praise God for these words of encouragement. Surely each of us knows the gloomy side of life, but to-day’s readings propose a brilliant antidote to misery: the light of service. Isaiah fo-cuses on physical suffering, telling us to provide food, clothing, housing, and equal opportunity to those with limited re-sources. Moving beyond material needs, Saint Paul demonstrates how to proceed humbly when attending to people’s spiri-tual needs. Saint Matthew’s Gospel stirs us to bold action: whatever gifts we have, we must put them at the service of our communities. As Christians, we must en-gage with one another without holding back, letting our light shine before all. ALL IN Today’s readings leave no room for half-heartedness. As beneficiaries of God’s providence, we cannot hold back when serving others. When Isaiah instructs us to share our bread with the hungry, he offers no qualifications. He does not add, “if you think you can,” or “after all of your own needs have been met.” On the contrary, the prophet simply reports that God ex-pects us to care for those in need. In a similar way, the Gospel call is uncondi-tional. Like a city atop a mountain, the Christian life cannot be hidden. Followers of Jesus do not have the option to sit by

and wish vaguely for someone else to take care of hunger, homelessness, oppres-sion, and ignorance. God calls us into ser-vice. If we have heard the call, we must respond. PROCEED WITH PRAYER We all agree that caring for others is im-portant. Absolutely no one wants to see a child waste away from starvation. And yet, we often fear to donate time, talent, or money to charitable causes. What if recipi-ents use the money poorly? What if dona-tions promote helplessness and long-term dependence? What if my own situation isn’t very stable? How can I help others when my daily life is so difficult and the future so uncertain? These are legitimate questions. And God wants us to use our intellect when discerning how best to per-form good deeds. But uncertainty must not lead to inaction. If we don’t know exactly how to proceed, we must spend a great deal of time in prayer. In prayer, we con-sider our options and ask the Lord to show us how to be salt and light in the world. As today’s psalm reminds us, God calls us to be gracious and merciful. Believing firmly that God will always care for us, we trust with steadfast hearts and share with oth-ers—not occasionally, guiltily, or provision-ally, but “lavishly.” Today’s Readings: Is 58:7–10; Ps 112:4–5, 6–7, 8–9; 1 Cor 2:1–5; Mt 5:13–16

Together In Mission Commitment Weekend: This weekend is “Commitment Weekend” for this year’s Together in Mission cam-paign. Today, Archbishop Gomez invites every Catholic to make their commitment to Together in Mission. This year’s theme, “Our Story is Alive” reminds us that our gifts to Together in Mission are an active demonstration of our faith and love for those in our Archdiocese who need our support. You can make your pledge by completing the envelope in the pew, the card you received in the mail at your home and returning it via mail, or online at: ourmissionla.org/give. Your gift helps to en-sure that our Catholic churches and schools remain open in their communities.

Youth Ministry Bake Sale This Weekend: Just in case your Sweet Tooth needs a reminder, our Annual Youth Ministry-sponsored Bake Sale is taking place THIS weekend--Feb. 8th and 9th. A reminder if you pre-ordered a cheesecake—it (or they!) will be available for pickup on Sunday morning between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

Palms To Be Used For Ash Wednesday: There is a basket in the vestibule of the church for you to bring and place your palms that were distributed for last year’s Palm Sunday Procession and Mass. These palms will be burned and will be used for this year’s Ash Wednesday litur-gies.

Peace And Justice Ministry Update: We are continuing to feed the homeless at the Lario Park riverbed in Duarte to great success! On all of your behalf, coupled with your prayers, donations, prepa-ration and serving, our Justice and Peace Ministry served another complete, hot meal to 80+ homeless at the San Gabriel Riverbed on Monday, Jan. 27th While we initially began this as a once-a-month program, we now serve them twice a month—on the first and the fourth Sundays (meal preparation) and Mondays (meal service) of each month. The recipients are very grateful for these efforts. Lent is coming, which would be a wonderful time to join in the sacrifice and reward of this way of feeding the hungry. To get involved, please contact Cathlene Wells at: (626) 840-7966.

Chúa Nhật V Thường Niên Năm A

Giữa tối tăm bừng lên một ánh sáng chiếu rọi kẻ ngay lành.

Suy Niệm

Bài đọc thứ nhất từ sách tiên tri Isaia hôm nay, là một bản kê khai những việc làm tốt mà chúng ta, những đồ đệ của Chúa cần phải biến đổi để trở thành ánh sáng, để mang ánh sáng của Chúa đến cho anh chị em. Chúng ta không phải là Ánh Sáng; chúng ta là ánh sáng thế gian khi nào chúng ta sống kết hợp với Chúa là Ánh Sáng Thật.

Chúng ta chỉ là ánh sáng thế gian trong mức độ khi chúng ta để Chúa Kitô biến đổi cuộc sống mình, để cho ánh sáng của Chúa biến đổi cuộc đời chúng ta trở thành cuộc đời của Chúa. Lời Chúa phán: "Chúng con là ánh sáng", không là một lời khoe khoang để chúng ta hãnh diện, tự kiêu, nhưng là một mệnh lệnh, một đòi hỏi, mỗi người phải là một Chúa Kitô khác, hãy sống sự sống của Chúa, hành động như Chúa để trở thành một Chúa Kitô khác.

Nhân dịp này, chúng ta tự suy nghĩ lại câu nói chúng ta thường nghe qua: "Tốt đời đẹp đạo". Người ta đến với đạo qua hành động, việc làm đời thường của chúng ta, họ muốn nhìn thấy việc làm tốt của chúng ta để đến với Đạo, để sống theo như lời Chúa nói: "Để ngợi khen Cha chúng con Đấng ngự trên trời". Đó là cái nhìn của người ngoài từ đời đến đạo, và cái nhìn này có thể hiểu lệch lạc đến độ lấy đời làm méo mó đạo để thỏa mãn yêu cầu không đạo đức của đời. Là người Kitô, chúng ta hãy nhìn từ một quan niệm mới không phải từ đời đến đạo mà phải bắt đầu từ đạo đến đời. Tôi muốn nói từ đời sống đạo của mỗi người chúng ta, đời sống như Chúa Kitô đã sống để rồi chúng ta lan tỏa cho đời. Chúng ta phải là người đồ đệ đích thực của Chúa, sống đức tin chân chính, sống đức bác ái của Chúa, sống như Chúa sống, sống sức mạnh của Chúa Thánh Thần và như thánh Phaolô Tông đồ diễn tả trong bài đọc hai: "Tôi sống nhưng không phải là tôi mà là chính Chúa Kitô sống trong tôi".

Thánh Phaolô đã để cho ánh sáng của Chúa được hiện diện trong cuộc đời của ngài, biến cuộc đời của ngài trở thành ánh sáng cho muôn dân. Chúng ta cần sống trọn vẹn Tin Mừng của Chúa, sống như Chúa đã sống, sống sức sống của Chúa, lãnh nhận ánh sáng của Chúa. Để làm tốt cho đời, chúng ta cần lấy Đạo Chúa, mà chúng ta có, để làm cho đời được tươi đẹp. Chúng ta phải sống trọn vẹn đức tin của mình, phải thực hiện đức bác ái của mình cách hoàn hảo.

Bài đọc 1 Is 58, 7-10

Ánh sáng ngươi sẽ bừng lên như rạng đông. Bài đọc 2 1 Cr 2, 1-5

Tôi đã loan báo cho anh em mầu nhiệm Đức Ki-tô chịu đóng đinh vào thập giá. Tin Mừng Mt 5, 13-16

✠ Tin Mừng Chúa Giê-su Ki-tô theo thánh Mát-thêu. Khi ấy, Đức Giê-su nói với các môn đệ rằng: “Chính anh em là muối cho đời. Nhưng muối mà nhạt đi, thì lấy gì muối nó cho mặn lại? Nó đã thành vô dụng, thì chỉ còn việc quăng ra ngoài cho người ta chà đạp thôi. “Chính anh em là ánh sáng cho trần gian. Một thành xây trên núi không tài nào che giấu được. Cũng chẳng có ai thắp đèn rồi lại để dưới cái thùng, nhưng đặt trên đế, và đèn soi chiếu cho mọi người trong nhà. Cũng vậy, ánh sáng của anh em phải chiếu giãi trước mặt thiên hạ, để họ thấy những công việc tốt đẹp anh em làm, mà tôn vinh Cha của anh em, Đấng ngự trên trời.”

L as lecturas de hoy no dejan espacio para la ti-bieza. Como beneficiarios de la providencia de

Dios, no podemos retrasar el servicio a los demás. Cuando Isaías nos instruye a compartir nuestro pan con los hambrientos, él no menciona requisitos. Él no añade “si lo piensas puedes” o “después de que to-das tus necesidades sean satisfechas”. Al contrario, el profeta simplemente comunica que lo que Dios es-pera de nosotros es cuidar por aquellas personas que están en necesidad. De manera similar, la llamada del Evangelio es incondicional. Como una ciudad en la cima de una montaña, la vida cristiana no se puede esconder. Los seguidores de Jesús no tienen la op-ción de quedarse sentados y desear vagamente que alguien más atienda a los hambrientos, a las perso-nas en situación de calle, a la opresión y la ignoran-cia. Dios nos llama a servir. Si ya escuchamos la llamada, debemos responder.

CONTINUA CON LA ORACIÓN Todos estamos de acuerdo que cuidar a los demás es importante. Absolutamente nadie quiere ver que un niño pierda peso a causa de la hambruna. Y, aun así, tenemos recelo en ofrecer tiempo, talentos o din-ero a obras de caridad. ¿Qué tal si los destinatarios usan incorrectamente el dinero? ¿Qué tal si las dona-

ciones promueven el desamparo y a largo plazo la dependencia? ¿Qué tal si mi propia situación no es muy estable? ¿Cómo puedo ayudar a los demás cuando mi vida diaria es tan difícil y el futuro tan inci-erto? Estas son preguntas válidas. Dios quiere que usemos nuestro intelecto cuando discernimos mejor la manera hacer obras de caridad. Pero la duda no debe guiarnos a la falta de acción. Si no sabemos cómo proceder, debemos dedicar bastante tiempo a la oración. En oración, consideramos nuestras op-ciones y preguntamos al Señor cómo ser sal y luz en el mundo. Así como el salmo de hoy nos lo recuerda, Dios nos llama para ser amables y misericordiosos. Creyendo firmemente que Dios siempre cuidará de nosotros, confiamos con corazones firmes y comparti-mos con los demás, no de vez en cuando, con culpa o tentativamente, sino “generosamente”.
