Fourth Sunday
of Lent
April 3, 2011
The LORD is my
shepherd; I shall not
want.
Psalm 23:1
LIGHT
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and
Christ will give you light” (Ephesians 5:14). We are at the
midpoint of our Lenten journey of conversion. As always,
God never gives up on us, especially those who have
“fallen asleep” along the road to conversion. The most
powerful stories of conversion are proclaimed during
these final weeks of Lent. They have the power to shake
us out of our sleep. Today’s Gospel story of the healing of
the man born blind exposes the real blindness in the time
of Christ—the blindness of the self-righteous religious
leaders. In a few weeks, at the Easter Vigil, the Church
will proclaim “Christ our Light” as the paschal candle is
carried into darkened churches throughout the world. May
the darkness of sin that still pervades our lives, communities, and world, be dispelled by the Christ who comes to
bring sight to the blind and light to the world.

Cuarto Domingo de
Cuaresma
3 de abril de 2011
El Señor es mi pastor,
nada me falta.
Salmo 23(22):1
LUZ
“Despierta, tú que duermes; levántate de entre los muertos y Cristo será tu luz” (Efesios 5:14). Estamos a medio
camino en la jornada de Cuaresma para la conversión. Como
siempre, Dios no se da por vencido con nosotros, especialmente con aquellos que “duermen” en el camino a la conversión. Los más grandes relatos de conversión se proclaman en
estas semanas finales de la Cuaresma. Estos tienen el poder
de sacudirnos de nuestro sueño. El relato del Evangelio de
hoy sobre la curación del ciego de nacimiento expone la verdadera ceguera en tiempos de Cristo –la ceguera de los líderes religiosos que se creían muy buenos y justos. Dentro de
pocas semanas, en la Vigilia Pascual, la Iglesia proclamará a
“Cristo nuestra Luz” cuando el Cirio Pascual es llevado dentro de las iglesias oscuras de todo el mundo. Que la oscuridad del pecado que impregna nuestra vida, comunidades y
nuestro mundo sea disipada por Cristo quien viene trayendo
vista al ciego y luz al mundo.

DOMAS HALL USE FOR THE
SAFETY OF ALL
For the safety of us all, whenever there is
no more seating available in the Church,
please allow us to assist you at Domas
Hall. We can avoid a fine from the City of
Moreno Valley by leaving the hallways
and corridors unobstructed, and we will be
able to exit in case of an emergency.
Starting Ash Wednesday, March 9 at all
the Masses, during Spanish Masses on
Sundays at 12 noon and 2 PM, and all
Liturgical Celebrations that warrant more
than the capacity of the main church, Mass
will be transmitted at Domas Hall through
our video and sound equipment. The parishioners will be assisted by our team of
liturgical ministers. Bilingual speakers are
highly encouraged to attend English
Masses. Thank you for your collaboration
in this important matter.
Muchas gracias a WinCo Foods, Starbucks, Ralph’s
& Val Verde Unified School District.
USO DEL HALL POR LA
SEGURIDAD DE TODOS
Por su seguridad y la de todos, sean tan
amables de usar el Domas Hall cuando ya
no haya lugar donde sentarse en la iglesia.
Ayúdenos a evitar una multa de la Ciudad
de Moreno Valley a la iglesia manteniendo
despejados todos los pasillos y poder salir
en caso de emergencia
A partir del miércoles de ceniza, 9 de
marzo, las misas del domingo en español,
12 y 2pm, incluyendo las celebraciones
litúrgicas que son mayores que la capacidad
de la iglesia, se estarán transmitiendo en el
Domas Hall, por medio de un buen equipo
de video y sonido y nuestro gran equipo de
ministros litúrgicos. Se recomienda también
que las personas bilingües asistan a misas
en inglés y se ayuden con el uso del misal.
Muchas gracias por su colaboración en este
asunto tan importante.

GROWING IN GRACE, AGE AND WISDOM
Luke 2:52
Your ADULT FAITH FORMATION CORNER:
Isabel Marinay-Dion, D. Min.
The US Bishops’ Plan for On going Adult
Faith Formation; Our Hearts were Burning
within Us
The meaning of the individual parts of the
Mass and the prayers that are going to be
changed.
Last week we explored the very beginning of the Mass that
takes place in the narthex. This is called the Gathering Rite, a part of the Introductory Rites. The gathered assembly engage themselves in the liturgical
action of being Church. It is here that the Church
first gathers around Christ, our Head, to prepare to
celebrate his passion, death and resurrection. The
Gathering Rite includes the Procession and the
Opening Song. Processions in the liturgy symbolize the journey of the people of God toward heaven. They call to mind
the journey of the Israelites toward the promised land after
being freed from their slavery in Egypt. Processions at Mass
are reminders that we are constantly on a journey towards the Kingdom. The entrance procession symbolizes our journey to the Eucharistic table which is a
symbol of the heavenly banquet. It opens the celebration of the Mass; b) We stand to indicate that we are
now ready to start the Eucharistic celebration. The
opening song accompanies the entrance procession. It
intensifies the unity of the gathered assembly and introduces them to the mystery of the liturgical festivity.
PROJECT 40: During these 40 days of Lent, the
diocesan office of Small Faith Communities invites us
all to participate in putting aside everyday hygiene
products: toothpaste, soaps etc. and baby needs: diapers, bottles & nipples, etc. for the needy. On April 3
and April 10, please bring these items and deposit
them in the bins located in the narthex (vestibule). These
items will be given to the Catholic Charities who will
then bring them to the distribution centers.
SMALL
FAITH
COMMUNITIES:
Wanted!!! Participants in a Small Faith Community on Saturday morning after mass at 9:00
P.M. to be led by Jose Acierto. Please call 951571-8351.

Isabel Marinay-Dion, D.Min.
El Plan de los Obispos de los EU para el La
Formación de Fe Adulta Continua; Nuestros
Corazones Ardían entre Nosotros.
El significado de las partes individuales de la
Misa y las oraciones que se cambiarán.
La semana pasada exploramos el comienzo de la Misa que
se lleva a cabo en el vestíbulo. Esto se llama el Rito de Entrada, parte de los Ritos Iniciales. La asamblea reunida se captan en la acción litúrgica de ser la Iglesia. Aquí es cuando la Iglesia se reúne alrededor de
Cristo, nuestra Cabeza, para prepararnos a celebrar
su pasión, muerte y resurrección. El Rito de Entrada incluye la Procesión y el Canto de Entrada. Las
procesiones en las liturgia simbolizan la jornada del
pueblo de Dios hacia el cielo. Nos recuerda de la jornada de
los Israelitas hacia la Tierra Prometida después de ser liberados de la esclavitud en Egipto. Las procesiones nos recuerdan que estamos constantemente en camino hacia el Reino.
La procesión de la entrada simboliza nuestra jornada hacia la mesa Eucarística el cual es un símbolo del
banquete celestial. a) Este Rito Inicial inicia la celebración de la Misa; b) Nos ponemos de pie para indicar que estamos listos para iniciar la celebración
Eucarística. El canto de entrada acompaña la procesión de entrada. El Canto de Entrada intensifica la
unidad de la asamblea reunidad y los introduce al
misterio de la festividad litúrgica.
PROYECTO 40: Durante estos 40 días de Cuaresma, la
oficina diocesana de las Pequeñas Comunidades de Fe nos

SEEING IS BELIEVING
People in Jesus’ time thought blindness was caused by sinfulness. In today’s
Gospel, the Pharisees—the supreme rulekeepers—were far less concerned about
the blind man than that Jesus broke the
rule of the Sabbath. The rules governing
what could and could not be done on the
Sabbath seemed more important than rest
from labor. When Jesus healed the blind
man, the Pharisees labeled them both as
sinners. We can be equally judgmental,
ranging from annoyance if our grown children do not live their lives exactly as we
do, all the way to condemnation of all
those of a different religion or political
persuasion. The angrier we are, the more
blind we are to our lack of charity. Saint
Paul says we live in the light of Christ and
should try to produce “every kind of goodness and righteousness and
truth” (Ephesians 5:9). Rules have their
place, but things go amiss when we place
the rules above everything else. That’s a
blindness we cannot afford.

VER ES CREER
En la época de Jesús la gente pensaba
que la ceguera era causada por el pecado.
En el Evangelio de hoy los fariseos—el
grupo más aferrado a la ley—estaban más
preocupados porque Jesús había quebrantado la ley del sábado que por el ciego. Las
leyes acerca de lo que se permitía o no se
permitía el sábado parecían más importantes que el descanso del trabajo. Cuando
Jesús curó al ciego los fariseos catalogaron
a ambos como pecadores. Nosotros podemos erigirnos igualmente jueces cuando
nuestros hijos no viven del mismo modo
que nosotros o hasta podemos llegar a
condenar a otras personas de diferente
religión o partido político. Cuanto más nos
enojamos, más ciegos nos volvemos y más
faltos de caridad. San Pablo dice que vivimos en la luz de Cristo y que nuestros
frutos deben ser “la bondad, la santidad y
la verdad”. (Efesios 5:9). Las reglas tienen
su lugar, pero algo falla cuando ponemos
las reglas por encima de todo lo demás.
Ésa es una ceguera que no podemos permitirnos.
