CUARESMA 2018

Raise Up. Sacrifice. Offer.

Elévate. Sacrifica. Ofrece.

Message from Fr. Timothy

Mensaje del Padre Timothy

Zeal for your House will consume me.

El celo de tu casa me devora.

Psalm 69 reminds us of Jesus’ burning zeal for the house of his Father. We are not used to seeing Jesus in a rage. We remember that not even when he was severely treated by the Jewish authorities or the Roman soldiers did he offer any resistance. Here, however, people are disrespecting the house of his Father, a truly holy place. When the Jewish authorities ask him for an explanation he makes an allusion to the resurrection. At that time this would have seemed like blasphemy but we read that “his disciples remembered that he had said this and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.” Jesus proclaims here the reality of his death and resurrection. The Church has always reiterated this teaching. Everything about Lent needs to lead us to this moment and the celebration of it. God has sent his Son so that the world can be reconciled to Him. Fr. Timothy

LENTEN PENANCE SERVICE Wednesday, March 7th at 7 p.m. in Church Penance is an experience of the gift of God’s boundless mercy. Several priests will be available to hear confessions.

O

El Salmo 69 nos recuerda del celo ardiente de Jesús por la casa de su Padre. No estamos acostumbrados a ver al Señor enojado. Recordamos que ni siquiera en el momento más severo de su persecución por los jefes del pueblo y por los romanos, Jesucristo no ofrecía resistencia a sus malhechores. Pero aquí están faltando al respeto a la casa de su Padre – la casa de Dios – que es un lugar santo. Cuando las autoridades le piden una explicación, hace referencia a su propia resurrección. En esa época sembraba blasfemia que Jesús hablara de sí mismo como Templo pero leemos en el evangelio de hoy que “se acordaron sus discípulos de que había dicho aquello y creyeron en la Escritura y en las palabras que Jesús había dicho.” Así proclama la verdad sobre su muerte y resurrección. La Iglesia siempre ha repetido esta enseñanza. Toda nuestra Cuaresma nos tiene que llevar al momento de la celebración del momento al cual Jesús se apunta. Dios nos ha enviado a su Hijo para que el mundo fuera reconciliado con Él. Padre Timothy

Reflexiones de Corresponsabilidad….

“ You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of any-

"No se forjarán ídolos de ninguna forma ..." ~Exodo 20:4 ~

thing…” ~Exodus 20:4~

¿Cuántos "dioses" pones delante de Dios? Los "ídolos" no siempre toman la forma de cosas físicas, cosas que podemos tocar y sentir. Esos son fáciles de reconocer. Muchas veces toman la forma de cosas que no podemos tocar y son mucho más difíciles de detectar como el orgullo, el poder, el ego, el tiempo, la comodidad o la salud.

How many “gods” do you put before God? “Idols” do not always take the shape of physical things, things we can touch and feel. Those are easy to recognize. Many times they take the form of things we cannot touch and are much harder to spot like pride, power, ego, time, comfort or health.

Communicating the richness of Catholic teaching on sexuality in a faithful and effective way can be an overwhelming responsibility for parents. Does it have to be? In this revised version of their book, Greg and Lisa Popcak empower you with the tools needed to offer a comprehensive guide to raising sexually whole and holy children. Using the riches of St, John Paul II's Theology of the Body, the Popcaks help you safely navigate your children from infancy through the teenage years and beyond. The book answers questions such as what lessons a child should learn at each stage to develop a healthy Christian sexuality, how to have an age- appropriate conversation on sensitive issues and how to help your children to have healthy, Christian dating relationships.

Hope for Haitians During Lent we will focus our almsgiving on supporting Hope for Haitians. The funding will be to build new villages and upgrade existing villages.
