Psalm 34:6 Third Sunday of Ordinary Time The theme at the center of this Sunday s liturgy is mission: the missions of Jonah, of Paul and of Jesus. This Sunday also coincides with the feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle who is the model of the missionary. The celebration is orientated toward the awareness of the mission, of the place it should occupy, and how it is realized. We are all partners in mission, united with one another in proclaiming the Gospel. The Lord has placed in our hearts the desire to share together his word, his body, his blood. Thus He restores in us the strength we need to carry out the mission he entrusts to us. In that sense we are already fisherman. We carry out the mission when we bear witness to the presence of Christ in our lives and encourage others to do the same. In our families and in our work and social environment we carry out the mission. Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La misión es el tema principal de la liturgia de este domingo: la misión de Jonás, de Pablo y de Jesús. Además este domingo coincide con la Conversión de San Pablo, Apóstol, el modelo de los misioneros. La celebración nos hace conocer la misión, el lugar donde toma parte y las condiciones. Todos somos asociados con la misión, unidos todos para anunciar el Evangelio. El Señor puso en nuestros corazones el deseo para unirnos para compartir la palabra de Cristo, su cuerpo y su sangre. El nos da la fuerza que necesitamos para compartir su misión. De esta manera somos todos pescadores, cuando somos testigos de Cristo en nuestras vidas. En nuestra familia en nuestro ambiente en nuestros trabajos debemos proclamar la misión. Troisième dimanche du temps ordinaire La question de la mission est au Coeur de ce dimanche: mission de Jonas, de Paul et de Jésus. De plus ce dimanche coincide avec la fête de la Conversion de saint Paul, apôtre, le modèle du missionnaire. La célébration sera donc orientée vers la prise de conscience de cette mission, de la place qu elle doit occuper et des conditions de sa réalization. Nous sommes tous partenaires de mission, unis les uns aux autres pour l annonce de la Bonne Nouvelle. Le Seigneur a placé en nos coeurs le désir d être ensemble pour partager sa parole, son corps et son sang. Il nous redonne ainsi les forces dont nous avons besoin pour réaliser la mission qu il nous confie. En ce sens nous sommes tous déjà pêcheurs d hommea. Nous le sommes quand nous témoignons de la présence du Christ dans notre vie et aidons quelqu un à en faire autant. Dans nos familles et dans nos milieux de vie et de travail nous réalisons la mission. As they passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked a little farther and saw James 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.
