Our Lenten journey climaxes in this celebration of Holy Week. Throughout these days we are called to experience with Christ a journey of unsel ish love; to die to all that is sinful in us and to rise to new and renewed life. Will justice and charity be renewed in us through this journey? Will we make room for those in need as we let sel ishness die in us? ——————————————————————-- Nuestro viaje Cuaresmal llega a su clı́max en esta celebració n de la Semana Santa. A lo largo de estos dı́as estamos llamados a experimentar con Cristo un viaje de amor generoso; a morir a todo lo que es pecaminoso y a levantarnos con una vida nueva y renovada ¿Será n la justicia y la caridad renovadas en nosotros a travé s de este viaje? ¿Haremos espacio para aquellos necesitados mientras dejamos que el egoı́smo muera en nosotros?

With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. We can help make things new with small, yet joyful sacri ices. The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor. With continued generosity to the Ashes to Easter Lenten Mission Campaign, local missionaries are able to instruct, advise, console and comfort the poor in the mission areas they serve. Please be generous. ——————————————————————-- Con el Señ or hay misericordia y una total redenció n. Podemos ayudar a que las cosas se renueven a travé s de pequeñ os, pero gozosos sacri icios. Las obras de misericordia son acciones caritativas por las cuales acudimos en ayuda de nuestro pró jimo. Con continua generosidad hacia la Campañ a Misionera De las Cenizas a la Pascua, misioneros locales son capaces de instruir, dar consejo, consolar y confortar a los pobres en las á reas misioneras en las que sirven.
