Our Mission As an assembly empowered by the glory of the Resurrection, we are committed to one another and to the tradition of the Catholic Church in celebrating the Seven Sacraments, the Sacred Liturgy, proclaiming the Good News through Education, sustaining the community of Faith, and promoting Charity, Peace and Justice for all people, now and forever. FATHER, FORGIVE THEM The promise made by the LORD in the first reading is very bold. He says that all people shall know him, without having to be taught by others. He doesn t restrict the promise to only the holiest people: He says that the way people will know Him is through forgiveness of their sins. Remember, he is speaking to the Israelites, who had so many laws and commandments, they needed scribes and Pharisees to keep track of them. When they broke a commandment or law, they were isolated from the community. So the promise that God would place his law in their hearts meant they would be free to do God s will because they want to, not because they were feared punishment or rejection. Jesus says something similar in today s gospel. He tells the disciples that his crucifixion would draw everyone to him. Now, Jesus death showed that he took on the punishment for sins in place of us, who deserve it. In Luke s gospel he even prays for those who crucified him, asking God s forgiveness. (Lk 23:34) By dying on the cross, Jesus shows how much God loves us. By rising from the dead, he shows that we can rise from sin to a new life of faith and love. Getting back to the first reading, we experience that promise when we bring our sins to God. When we forgive people who have hurt us, we also help them to experience that love. After all, if I can forgive someone, surely God will forgive them. We also help others to know God when we share or experience of being forgiven. Still not sure if God has forgiven you? The sacrament of Reconciliation gives us the assurance of God s forgiveness, as well as the experience. Along with the other sacraments, it helps us keep God s love in our hearts.

2 QUINTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA : 18 DE MARZO DEL 2018 ESCRITO EN PIEDRA Las reglas escritas en las piedras que le fueron dadas a Moisés son fáciles de recordar, pero no fácil de seguir. Hoy aprendemos que las reglas no están afuera de nosotros, sino que Dios las escribió en nuestros corazones. Dios dice Yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo. Ahora estamos unidos en una relación con Dios y no sólo estamos siguiendo las reglas de Dios. El modelo para una relación es Jesús. Jesús, aun cuando es el Hijo, fue perfecto por medio de su sufrimiento y se hizo el origen de la salvación para todos nosotros que estamos lejos de la perfección. Jesús describe esta relación como un grano de trigo, entero en sí mismo, que cae en las entrañas de la tierra y se abre para producir el trigo que sustenta la vida. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. ESCRITO EN LA CARNE Cuando las reglas están escritas en nuestros corazones, debemos mirar dentro para medirnos nosotros mismos, para descubrir lo que Dios espera de nosotros. No somos esclavos. Somos el pueblo de Dios. No somos forasteros o extranjeros. Somos el pueblo de Dios. Este tipo de relación, como una amistad de mejores amigos, un matrimonio, la de un padre o una madre con su hijo, requiere de un compromiso de todo corazón, una voluntad para poner la vida de los demás antes de la nuestra. Compartimos con Jesús esa relación, un profundo anhelo por Dios de que nuestras vidas tengan un significado más allá de su medida. Cada una de nuestra vida es más que una serie de experiencias, eventos, logros. Cada una de nuestra vida simboliza en nuestra carne la obra de Dios que vemos encarnada en la vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesús. Esta relación espera más de nosotros que reglas. Esta relación nos da más que reglas. Esta relación pide por nuestra vida a cambio de darnos la vida eterna y la salvación. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
