2 PASTOR S LETTER/ CARTA DEL PASTOR Dear Parishioners, In our Lenten book study there is a beautiful section that talks about the truths that help to affirm us in our relationship with God. I have shared a few of them below for you. They are great to bring to prayer and meditate on: God resolves all my problems with time and patience. My life s greatest tragedies can be transformed into my life s major blessings. God gives me insights, not because I am better than others, but because I am loved. Journeying with Christ to the root of my sins and addictions will help break their grip. I will not waste time worrying about my sins and failures. I will use my time wisely and ask God to help me understand the source of my sins and failings. I will trust that Christ came to heal all my wounds. I trust that God will lead me. Blessings, Fr. Peter Queridos Parroquianos, En nuestro estudio del libro de Cuaresma, hay una hermosa sección que habla de las verdades que ayudan a afirmarnos en nuestra relación con Dios. He compartido algunos de ellos a continuación para ti. Son excelentes para orar y meditar sobre: Dios resuelve todos mis problemas con tiempo y paciencia. Las tragedias más grandes de mi vida se pueden transformar en las principales bendiciones de mi vida. Dios me da ideas, no porque yo sea mejor que otros, sino porque soy amado. Viajar con Cristo a la raíz de mis pecados y adicciones ayudará a romper su control. No perderé el tiempo preocupándome por mis pecados y fallas. Usaré mi tiempo sabiamente y le pediré a Dios que me ayude a entender la fuente de mis pecados y mis fallas. Confiaré en que Cristo vino a sanar todas mis heridas. Confío en que Dios me guiará. Bendiciones, P. Peter

4 DISCIPLESHIP, AND EVANGELIZATION Quote of the Week [Jesus] knocks at the heart of those who participate in the Mass, each one in his or her condition of life, age, situation. The Lord comforts, calls, brings forth sprouts of a new and reconciled life. And this is through his Word. His Word knocks at the heart and changes hearts! Therefore, after the homily, a moment of silence allows the seed received to settle in the soul, so that intentions to heed what the Spirit has suggested to each person may sprout. Silence after the homily. A good moment of silence must be observed there, and each one should ponder what he or she has heard. After this silence, how does the Mass continue? The personal response of faith is integrated in the Church s Profession of Faith... We all recite the Creed in the Mass. Recited by the entire assembly, the Symbolum manifests the common response to what is heard together from the Word of God. There is an essential nexus between listening and faith. They are linked. Indeed...faith does not arise from human imagination, but, as Saint Paul recalls, comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ (Rom 10:17). -Pope Francis, 2/14/2018 Learning and Living the Faith Q: What is vice? A: When we talk about the seven deadly sins, we are not usually talking about specific sins as such, but rather about tendencies towards sin, attitudes and desires in our heart which are disordered and lead us away from love of God and our neighbor, and lead us to choose sin. When these are habitually present within us, we call them vices. Each of the seven deadly sins also engenders other, related vices. The gradual eradication of these vices from our souls is an important element of growth in the spiritual life. Remember that God does not only want to save us from the sins that we will, but also to fully redeem us, to truly make us holy, to truly make us like Him in His goodness! As with virtue, which grows through repeated good acts, so does vice. Sin leads to more sin. This is why it is important to struggle even against seemingly small venial sins. Repeated sin engenders vice in our hearts, which makes it even harder to break from sin, to have the will to cooperate with God s grace. Thus repeated sin can cloud our conscience and weaken our moral judgments it makes it harder to see the good. The spiritual life requires a good deal of discipline, but most of all requires a close relationship with God, constantly nourished by prayer and the sacraments.
