Texto del Evangelio (Mc 1,14-20): Después que Juan fue entregado, marchó Jesús a Galilea;
y proclamaba la Buena Nueva de Dios: «El tiempo se ha cumplido y el Reino de Dios está cerca;
convertíos y creed en la Buena Nueva». Bordeando el mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y Andrés, el
hermano de Simón, largando las redes en el mar, pues eran pescadores. Jesús les dijo: «Venid
conmigo, y os haré llegar a ser pescadores de hombres». Al instante, dejando las redes, le
siguieron. Caminando un poco más adelante, vio a Santiago, el de Zebedeo, y a su hermano Juan;
estaban también en la barca arreglando las redes; y al instante los llamó. Y ellos, dejando a su
padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros, se fueron tras Él.
«Convertios y creed en la Buena Nueva »
+ Rev. D. Lluís ROQUÉ i Roqué
(Manresa, Barcelona, España )
H
oy, la Iglesia nos invita a convertirnos y, con Jesús, nos dice: «Convertíos y
creed en la Buena Nueva» (Mc 1,15). Por tanto, habrá que hacer caso a
Jesucristo, corrigiendo y mejorando lo que sea necesario.
Toda acción humana conecta con el designio eterno de Dios sobre nosotros y con la
vocación a escuchar a Jesús, seguirlo en todo y para todo, y proclamarlo tal como lo
hicieron los primeros discípulos, tal como lo han hecho y procuramos hacerlo millones de
personas.
Ahora es la oportunidad de encontrar a Dios en Jesucristo; ahora es el momento de
nuestra vida que empalma con la eternidad feliz o desgraciada; ahora es el tiempo que
Dios nos proporciona para encontrarnos con Él, vivir como hijos suyos y hacer que los
acontecimientos cotidianos tengan la carga divina que Jesucristo —con su vida en el
tiempo— les ha impreso.
¡No podemos dejar perder la oportunidad presente!: esta vida más o menos larga en el
tiempo, pero siempre corta, pues «la apariencia de este mundo pasa» (1Cor 7,31).
Después, una eternidad con Dios y con sus fieles en vida y felicidad plenas, o lejos de
Dios —con los infieles— en vida e infelicidad totales.
Así, pues, las horas, los días, los meses y los años, no son para malgastarlos, ni para
aposentarse y pasarlos sin pena ni gloria con un estéril “ir tirando”. Son para vivir —aquí
y ahora— lo que Jesús ha proclamado en el Evangelio salvador: vivir en Dios, amándolo
todo y a todos. Y, así, los que han amado —María, Madre de Dios y Madre nuestra; los
santos; los que han sido fieles hasta el fin de la vida terrenal— han podido escuchar:
«Muy bien, siervo bueno y fiel (...): entra en la alegría de tu señor» (Mt 25,23).
¡Convirtámonos! ¡Vale la pena!: amaremos, y seremos felices desde ahora.

Oraciones
Reveladas en Fatima
La oración de Fátima
“¡Oh! Jesús mío, perdona nuestros pecados, líbranos del fuego del infierno, lleva al cielo a todas las
almas, especialmente a las más necesitadas de Tu misericordia. Amén”.
La Virgen María pidió a los niños que las fieles deberían agregar esta oración al final de cada
misterio del Santo Rosario.
Oración de reparación
“¡Dios mío, yo creo, adoro, espero y te amo! ¡Te pido perdón por los que no creen, no adoran, no
esperan, no te aman!” Esta oración fue dada a los niños por el Ángel que los visitó un año antes que
la Virgen.
Oración del Ángel
“Santísima Trinidad, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, yo te adoro profundamente y te ofrezco el
Preciosísimo Cuerpo, Sangre, Alma y Divinidad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, presente en todos los
Sagrarios del mundo, en reparación de los ultrajes con los que El es ofendido. Por los méritos
infinitos del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y del Inmaculado Corazón de María, te pido la conversión de
los pecadores”.
Esta es otra oración enseñada por el Ángel mientras sostenía un cáliz sobre el cual flotaba una hostia
consagrada de la cual caían gotas de sangre.
Durante las apariciones, soportaron con espíritu
inalterable y con admirable fortaleza las calumnias, las
malas interpretaciones, las injurias, las persecuciones y
hasta algunos días de prisión. Durante aquel momento
tan angustioso en que fue amenazado de muerte por las
autoridades de gobierno si no declaraban falsas las
apariciones, Francisco se mantuvo firme por no
traicionar a la Virgen, infundiendo este valor a su prima
y a su hermana. Cuantas veces les amenazaban con la
muerte ellos respondían: "Si nos matan no importa;
vamos al cielo." Por su parte, cuando a Jacinta se la

SUNDAY 24, JANUARY ,2021Our Military - May God Protect and defend them as they protect and devend us
A Prayer for our Military
Brave warriors, should fate find you in battle, may your cause be just. May
our leaders have clear vision. May your courage not falter. May you be
triumphant and earn victory as you show mercy to our enemies. May your efforts bring
lasting peace. May your sacrifice be always appreciated by those you serve. May you return
to your loved ones unharmed. Should you be harmed, may your wounds heal. Should you
perish in the struggle, may God embrace you and find for ou a place in His Kingdom.
