NO St. Ambrose Crab Fest This Year
From the San Francisco Chronicle,
December 27th, 2015:
The Dungeness crab season was closed due to an unprecedented algae bloom
that infected the crustaceans with domoic acid, which causes illness and death in humans.
The domoic acid is slowly waning, but the outlook for crabbers and diners is unclear.

LIVING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most beloved imagery is contained in the passages from
First Corinthians that we have heard last week and
this week: the many gifts granted by the one same
Spirit and the many members making up the one
Body of Christ. Few passages from sacred scripture
more accurately sum up how Christian vocations
work together.
Unlike some of Paul’s other writings, which are
a product of the social and religious conventions of
his time, these enable us to look at our own lives and
the lives of those around us to discern what gifts,
what vocations the Holy Spirit has given for the
good of all. We can likewise know the joys and sorrows of the other members of the Body and share in
them for the strengthening of the whole Body of
Christ.
LA VIDA DEL CUERPO DE CRISTO
Algunas de las imágenes más conocidas y queridas de san Pablo se encuentran en los pasajes de la
primera carta a los corintios que hemos escuchado la
semana pasada y hoy: los muchos dones de un mismo Espíritu y los muchos miembros que componen
el Cuerpo de Cristo. Pocos pasajes de la Sagrada
Escritura resumen con mayor claridad cómo las vocaciones cristianas trabajan en colaboración.
A diferencia de otros escritos de san Pablo, producto de las convenciones sociales y religiosas de su
época, estos nos permiten mirar nuestra propia vida
y la vida de los que están a nuestro alrededor para
discernir los dones, la vocación que el Espíritu Santo nos ha dado para el bien de todos. Así también
podemos conocer las alegrías y las penas de los
otros miembros del Cuerpo y compartirlos para así
fortalecer todo el Cuerpo de Cristo.
