CATHOLIC
CHURCH
We are Catholic Christians striving to love beyond all boundaries and to continue the mission of Christ.
And he was transfigured before them;
his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them,
conversing with him.

HOMELESS MINISTRY
I want to share an experience that occurred a couple of weeks ago in the Wilmington area on Homeless Ministry. We were checking out an area where we
often find people living on the street. There was a bicycle tire sticking out of
an alley and we went to see if someone was there. As we pulled in, we saw a
young man in his 20s sitting on a rock with his head cradled in his hands. As we
stopped, those of us on the team commented that it looked like he was having a rough
day—the feeling just emanated from him.
We got out of the car and told him we had lunches and water to offer to him. A feeling of relief
washed over his face. He shared that he was starving and “thinking of shop-lifting and not shoplifting” over and over. He was so grateful for the lunch, water and the few extras we had to offer
that day.
I left with the feeling I so often have when I go out to my homeless brothers and sisters: how
amazing is the gratitude shown for what would seem like so little to me.
God not only multiplies loaves and fish. In this context, He solved a moral dilemma that a
good man in a tough situation was facing. God is able to do this with the help of all of you. We
truly are His hands and feet, His smile and loving warmth, His eyes seeing Himself in them. So
thank you so much for your support.
This thank you also goes for the grooming bag supplies you provide during Lent. For the
homeless, it is “Christmas” whenever they receive a grooming bag. These help give dignity to
each of them, as they are able to be clean and put on a new pair of socks. If you still have the
bag you were given, please fill and return it to our cart outside of church any Saturday evening
or Sunday through Palm Sunday. If you missed out on picking up a bag, they are still available.
GROOMING BAGS FOR THE HOMELESS
Saturday April 5th, Doors open at 6 PM in Hegarty Hall

MINISTERIO DE LOS DESAMPARADOS
compartir una experiencia que tuvo lugar hace un par de semanas en el
Q uiero
área de Wilmington con el Ministerio de los Desamparados. Nos marchamos un
área donde a menudo encontramos personas que viven en la calle. Habia un neumático de una bicicleta que salia de un callejón y nos fuimos a ver si había alguien allí.
Cuando llegamos, vimos a un joven de unos 20 años que estaba sentado en una roca
con su cabeza apoyada en las manos. A medida que nos detuvimos, aquellos de nosotros en el equipo comentamos que parecía que estaba teniendo un duro día-el
sentimiento sólo emanaba de él.
Salimos del coche y le dije que teníamos comida y agua para ofrecerle. Una sensación de alivio se apoderó de su rostro. Él compartió que
él estaba muriendo de hambre y "pensando en
robar y no robar" una y otra vez. Estaba tan
agradecido por la comida, el agua y los pocos
extras que teníamos para ofrecer ese día.
Me fui con la sensación de que tan a menudo
tengo cuando salgo con mis hermanos y hermanas sin hogar: lo increíble es la gratitud
mostrada por qué parecer tan poco para mí.
Dios no sólo multiplica los panes y los peces.
En este contexto, Él resolvió un dilema moral
que un buen hombre en una situación difícil se
enfrentaba. Dios es capaz de hacer esto con la
ayuda de todos ustedes. Verdaderamente somos Sus manos y pies, su sonrisa y amorosa
calidez, sus ojos viendo a sí mismo en ellos. Así
que muchas gracias por su apoyo.
Esto le agradece también va para los suministros de bolsa de aseo personal que usted proporciona durante la Cuaresma. Para las personas sin hogar, se trata de "Navidad" cada vez
que reciben una bolsa de aseo. Estos ayudan a
dar dignidad a cada uno de ellos, ya que son
capaces de estar limpio y se puso un nuevo par
de calcetines. Si usted todavía tiene la bolsa
que le dieron, por favor llene y envíelo a nuestra cesta fuera de la iglesia cualquier sábado
por la noche o domingo a domingo de Ramos.
Si te perdiste en recoger una bolsa, todavía están disponibles.
BOLSITAS DE ASEO PARA LOS DESAMPARADOS
Sábado 5 de Abril, las puertas abren a las 6 de la tarde en el Salón Hegarty
Cena de pasta será a las 6:30 PM. Después ayúdenos a llegar a nuestra meta de
Ensamblar 1200 bolsitas de aseo.

SMALL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES FAITH SHARING MEETING
Thursday, March 27th, 7 to 9 PM, Parish Center
Imagine what it would have been like to watch Jesus heal the man born blind—a miracle of grace
and mercy! But Jesus did not just heal the man’s physical ailment. He healed the man spiritually
as witnessed by the man proclaiming, “I do believe, Lord.” We often find ourselves in need of
physical and spiritual healing. Think of a time when an experience of healing has made you
a better Christian. Why not share that experience with others?
We’ll reflect upon the readings for the Fourth Sunday of Lent:
1 Samuel 16:1b ,6-7, 10-13a; Ephesians 5:8-14; John 9:1-41

LENTEN SPRING
Lent is closely associated with the transition from Winter to Spring, an image
of death to new life. The word comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word ‘lencten’
meaning springtime. Traces of the Church’s preparation for Easter can be
found in the second century. Lent originally was the period of intense prayer,
fasting, and reflection for those adults who were to be baptized at Easter. By
the 7th Century, forty days of fast and prayer had been extended to the entire
Church.
Fasting supporting one’s prayers, or almsgiving (giving to the needy from
what is saved through fasting and abstinence), and abstinence have always
been a part of the Lenten experience. Denying oneself a basic human need such
as food for a period of time may be done for different reasons, such as promoting self-discipline or strengthening our prayer life.

SEGUNDO DOMINGO
DE CUARESMA
Por Humberto Beltrán.
Hay una oración que dice: “Hazme pasar, Señor, de las tinieblas a la luz, del error a la verdad, de la muerte a la inmortalidad”. Las lecturas de este domingo de Cuaresma que nos van
preparando para la Pascua, la fiesta de la luz,
de la verdad y de la vida. Esta vocación es un
llamado divino para escuchar y seguir a Jesús,
quien se definió a sí mismo diciendo: “Yo soy
la Luz, la Verdad y la Vida”.
Abraham, jefe de una tribu de pastores nómadas, recibe la llamada de Dios y emprende
un gran camino hasta llegar a la tierra señalada por el mismo Dios. Abraham cree en Dios,
se fía de Dios y por eso abandona su tierra, su
familia. Algo parecido nos ha sucedido a nosotros, que por alguna razón tuvimos que abandonar nuestra tierra, extrañamos a la familia
que dejamos, la sencillez de la gente, sus costumbres y añoramos más que toda comida, los
dichos, los gritos y hasta las apreturas de dinero, porque por ellas nos manteníamos unidos,
y hay más comunicación.
¿Qué es la fe?
La fe de Abraham es el modelo que debemos
usar en el cometario de las lecturas del día de
hoy. Abraham, por su fe en Dios, está dispuesto a todo. Y lo realiza. Emprende su viaje,
puestas su fe y su confianza en Dios. Esta misma fe y confianza se nos piden a nosotros para
admitir los acontecimientos que se realizan en
el Nuevo Testamento y para llevar a la práctica
todo cuanto se deriva de nuestra fe.
¿Y qué es la fe? Es aceptar algo que no comprendemos, que no entendemos, que no vemos. Y lo admitimos porque nos fiamos de la
persona que nos lo dice. Suponemos que esa
persona es lo suficientemente honrada como
para no mentirnos. Esa persona sabe del asun-
to de que nos habla, lo entiendo o lo vive. La fe
supone que nos fiamos de una persona y de lo
que esa persona nos trasmite, porque lo conoce.
La Trasfiguración.
El evangelio de hoy es una prueba más de la
divinidad de Jesucristo. Cristo demuestra, en
la Transfiguración, algo que tiene oculto: su
divinidad. Quiso fortalecer la fe de sus discípulos mediante su trasformación. Quiso manifestar un destello de lo que era, o sea, Dios. Y él
Padre confirma la mesianidad, filiación y divinidad de Cristo cuando dice: “Este es mi Hijo,
el Amado, al que miro con cariño; a El han de
escuchar”
La Cuaresma que estamos celebrando debe hacernos reflexionar sobre Cristo y sobre nuestra
vida. Si estamos convencidos de que Cristo es
Dios, de que vino a salvarnos, de que vino a establecer su reino que se prolonga en el cielo y
de que su doctrina es la de Dios, debemos seguirlo, debemos escucharlo, debemos poner
por obra sus enseñanzas y practicar sus exigencias.
REFLEXIÓN.
La misa es una ocasión para
profesar nuestra fe en la divinidad de Cristo. Cuando el sacerdote levante el pan y el vino
consagrados, Cristo vivo bajo
las especies sacramentales, exclamemos: “¡Señor mío y Dios
mío!” Y pongamos el mayor
amor posible en seguir a Cristo,
en practicar su doctrina, en llevar a cabo sus enseñanzas, porque Dios nos ama y quiere salvarnos.

Together in Mission is a wonderful way for each of us
and our Parish Community to reach out to our Catholic family throughout the Los Angeles Archdiocese who need our
help and share the many blessings that we have been given at
St. Margaret Mary’s. Did you know that all money contributed to Together in Mission MUST, by law, be used to support the goals of this program and cannot be used for any
other reason.
Where we are as of March 6th:
Our Parish Goal: $128,978
Pledges to Date: $55,791
Balance to go: $73,187
Families Participating: 249
As you can see, we still need to receive pledges for about
$73,187. If you have not made a pledge yet, please prayerfully consider joining our Parish Community in making a pledge
to help the poorest of the poor in our Catholic communities
within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. A Pledge of $50 is only $10 a month for five months, a pledge of $100 is only $20
a month and the Archdiocese will send payment envelopes
on a monthly basis. Commitment envelopes are available in
the pews or at the Parish office. Thank you, Deacon Dan
Please give as much as your heart and
budget will allow.

MENSAJE DEL PAPA FRANCISCO
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas,
Esta Cuaresma, me gustaría ofrecer algunas ideas útiles sobre nuestro camino de
conversión, como individuos y como comunidad. Estas ideas se inspiran en las palabras de San Pablo: "Porque ya conocéis la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el cual,
siendo rico, por vosotros se hizo pobre, para que por su pobreza fueseis enriquecidos" (2 Cor 8:09). El Apóstol escribía a los cristianos de Corintio para alentarlos a
ser generosos en ayudar a los fieles de Jerusalén que estaban en necesidad. ¿Qué significan estas palabras para nosotros, los cristianos de hoy? ¿Qué hace esta invitación
a la pobreza, una vida de pobreza evangélica, significa para nosotros hoy?

Manteniendo
CUARESMA DE PRIMAVERA
Cuaresma está estrechamente asociada con la transición del invierno a la primavera, una
imagen de la muerte a la nueva vida. La palabra proviene de una antigua palabra anglosajona 'lencten' que significa primavera. Las huellas de la preparación de la Iglesia para la Pascua se pueden encontrar en el siglo II. Cuaresma originalmente fue el período de intensa
oración, el ayuno y reflexión para aquellos adultos que iban a ser bautizados en Pascua. Por
el séptimo siglo, cuarenta días de ayuno y oración se habían extendido a toda la Iglesia.
El ayuno apoyar nuestras oraciones, o la limosna (dando a los necesitados de lo que se ahorra a través del ayuno y la abstinencia), y la abstinencia han sido siempre una parte de la experiencia cuaresmal. Negarse a sí mismo una necesidad humana básica, como alimentos durante un período de tiempo se puede realizar por diferentes razones, tales como la promoción de la auto-disciplina y el fortalecimiento de nuestra vida de oración.

A MESSAGE FROM POPE FRANCIS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This Lent, I would like to offer some helpful thoughts on our path of conversion
as individuals and as a community. These insights are inspired by the words of
Saint Paul: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was
rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become
rich” (2 Cor 8:9). The Apostle was writing to the Christians of Corinth to encourage them to be generous in helping the faithful in Jerusalem who were in need.
What do these words mean for us Christians today? What does this invitation to
poverty, a life of evangelical poverty, mean for us today?
For the complete message of Pope Francis, see: vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/messages/
