3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 3 Dear brothers and sisters: As you know from March 4th to 12th we have prayed the Novena of Grace and we have dedicated those days to meditate on the mystery of the Eucharist. We said that the Eucharist is a clear invitation to live the sacrificial love of the Lord. In other words, the gift of the Eucharist is to be accepted as the Lord accepted His sacrifice, with generosity, with the spirit of oblation and the firm determination to do the will of the Father, even if it takes sacrifice. In fact, as we read today in the Gospel: Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life Saint Augustine says: Do not love your life in this world; do not love it if you really love it, for it is in not loving it that you will be saved Those who love their life in this world will lose it. The one who speaks in this way is the seed who fell to the ground, he who died so as to produce much fruit. Listen to Him since what He speaks He has first done. He teaches us and shows us the way by His example. Indeed, Christ did not claim His life in this world He came in order to lose it, to lay it down for our sakes and to take it up again when He willed I have the power to lay down my life and the power to take it up again. No one takes it from me but lay it down on my own (Jn 10:18). The Lord Jesus, then, promises that we will bear much fruit for him, if we deny ourselves for his sake and embrace his will for our lives. Therefore, let us follow these words of the Lord, and let us pray that we may become wheat sown in the earth, to be harvested for Christ, and that we may be given a fresh hope and joy in serving the Lord all the days of our life. God bless you Fr. Javier Ibarra Buela Youth Orchestra and Minor Seminary Events Sunday, April 8, Divine Mercy Sunday, The Buela Youth Orchestra and The Minor Seminary will play for the Mass at 9:30 am.

Pot luck to follow. PHÚC ÂM: Ga 12, "Nếu hạt lúa mì rơi xuống đất thối đi, thì nó sinh nhiều bông hạt". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Khi ấy, trong số những người lên dự lễ, có mấy người Hy-lạp. Họ đến gặp Philipphê quê ở Bêtania, xứ Galilêa, và nói với ông rằng: "Thưa ngài, chúng tôi muốn gặp Đức Giêsu". Philip-phê đi nói với Anrê, rồi Anrê và Philipphê đến thưa Chúa Giêsu. Chúa Giêsu đáp: "Đã đến giờ Con Người được tôn vinh. Quả thật, quả thật, Ta nói với các con: Nếu hạt lúa mì rơi xuống đất mà không thối đi, thì nó chỉ trơ trọi một mình; nhưng nếu nó thối đi, thì nó sinh nhiều bông hạt. Ai yêu sự sống mình thì sẽ mất, và ai ghét sự sống mình ở đời này, thì sẽ giữ được nó cho sự sống đời đời. Ai phụng sự Ta, hãy theo Ta, và Ta ở đâu, thì kẻ phụng sự Ta cũng sẽ ở đó. Ai phụng sự Ta, Cha Ta sẽ tôn vinh nó. Bây giờ linh hồn Ta xao xuyến, và biết nói gì? Lạy Cha, xin cứu Con khỏi giờ này. Nhưng chính vì thế mà Con đã đến trong giờ này. Lạy Cha, xin hãy làm vinh danh Cha". Lúc đó có tiếng từ trời phán: "Ta đã làm vinh danh Ta và Ta còn làm vinh danh Ta nữa". Đám đông đứng đó nghe thấy và nói đó là tiếng sấm. Kẻ khác lại rằng: "Một thiên thần nói với Ngài". Chúa Giêsu đáp: "Tiếng đó phán ra không phải vì Ta, nhưng vì các ngươi. Chính bây giờ là lúc thế gian bị xét xử, bây giờ là lúc thủ lãnh thế gian bị khai trừ và khi nào Ta chịu đưa lên cao khỏi đất, Ta sẽ kéo mọi người lên cùng Ta". Người nói thế để chỉ Người phải chết cách nào. Đó là lời Chúa.

7 5 o Domingo de Cuaresma 18 de Marzo de 2018 Miércoles 21 de Marzo No habrá cena de catecismo Estamos Rezando el Via Crucis los viernes de cuaresma a las 5:30 en Inglés Y los domingos después de la Misa de 1pm en español la comunidad hispana reza el via crucis en español LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 2 Sm 7:4-5a, 12-14a, 16; Sal 89 (88): 2-5, 27, 29;Rom 4:13, 16-18, 22; Mt 1:16, 18-21, 24a o Lc 2:41-51a Martes: Nm 21:4-9; Sal 102 (101):2-3, 16-21; Jn 8:21-30 Miércoles:Dn 3:14-20, 91-92, 95; Dn 3:52-56; Jn 8:31-42 Jueves: Gn 17:3-9; Sal 105 (104):4-9; Jn 8:51-59 Viernes: Jer 20:10-13; Sal 18 (17):2-7; Jn 10:31-42 Sábado: Ez 37:21-28; Jer 31:10, 11-13; Jn 11:45-56 Domingo: Mc 11:1-10 o Jn 12:12-16; (procesión) Is 50:4-7; Sal 22 (21): 8-9, 17-20, 23-24; Flp 2:6-11; Mc 14:1 15:47 [15:1-39] EL TRIGO DE DIOS Soy el trigo de Dios, triturado por los dientes de las bestias salvajes para poder convertirme en el puro pan de Cristo. San Ignacio de Antioquía ARREPENTIMIENTO Dios ha prometido perdonar al que se arrepiente, pero no ha prometido arrepentimiento al que peca. SALVADOS POR EL AMOR DE DIOS Después de que los israelitas quebrantaron la antigua alianza, Dios prometió una nueva alianza, no con la sangre de bueyes y otros animales sino con la sangre del Hijo, Jesucristo. Esta nueva alianza, que Jeremías y los profetas habían anticipado, no sería grabada en piedra ni escrita en papel, sino que se escribiría en el corazón, para que pudiéramos conocer a Dios íntimamente. La salvación no está en obedecer muchos preceptos, sino en el amor de Dios, que está vivo y es real en nuestro corazón gracias al sacrificio de Cristo. Nuestra Eucaristía es la promesa del Cristo que vive dentro nuestro y de nuestra respuesta de alabanza y agradecimiento a Dios por su misericordia, amor y bondad al perdonar nuestros pecados y limpiarnos el corazón de todo mal. Dios extiende esta invitación a la intimidad al ofrecernos la oportunidad de que nuestro sufrimiento se transforme en el amor perfecto del Salvador, que siempre nos amó. Copyright J. S.
