WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
A profound interaction between God and humanity happens this week in the readings.
God sees into the human heart and, because of that, knows our sins. Yet, God
forgives and does not count sins against us. That happens through Jesus, “who
welcomes sinners and eats with them.” Christ, however, also opens God’s heart so
that human beings can see into it and know that it is love. There is initiative on both
sides. “Be reconciled,” Saint Paul commands. How are you reconciled to God? To
your sisters and brothers of the human family?
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My Dear Parish Family,
.
.
.
What a great reading to see God’s mercy! Today, Jesus, accused
.
.
of hanging out with sinners, goes on to tell one of his best stories
.
.
(parables): “A man had two sons,” the elder (so very good) and
.
.
the younger (not-so-much). It’s a story about extravagance and
.
.
wastefulness—prodigality—but not the son’s. Although this is
often called the story of “the Prodigal Son,” I offer that the father’s ..
affection and forgiveness go, way overboard; he is ‘prodigal’ with ..
his love. As we make our way through the story, it concludes with ..
.
the party dad throws for his son who “once was lost and now is
.
found.” But the older son refuses to join the celebration, so that
.
.
the father has to beg for him to go beyond his joyless self.
.
righteousness. Interestingly, the father actually runs out to meet a
.
son twice: once to kiss the errant, broken younger one and then, to ..
bring into the warmth, that stubborn elder one. You see, Jesus still .
.
“consorts with sinners,” no manner which kind we are.
.
.
.
.
Over and over again throughout the gospels we see God’s mercy
.
.
brought to life. In two weeks, I invite all of you to come to our
.
diocese sponsored Jubilee Year of Mercy celebration here at Saint .
.
Joseph’s in the high school. People from all over the diocese are
.
.
invited to attend this event. There will be guest speakers, priests
.
.
hearing confessions, praise music and a beautiful procession with
.
.
the Blessed Sacrament from the HS to the church, where we will
.
pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Bishop O’Connell will be with .
us throughout the day and the plenary indulgence will be granted to ..
.
those who completely participate. [See today’s insert.]
.
.
.
Please note that we will not be having a Lenten Penance Service
.
.
for the whole parish, other than the jubilee event on Saturday,
.
.
March 19. Last minute confessions will be heard during Holy
.
.
Week after Morning Prayer on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and
.
.
Holy Saturday.
.
.
.
As you read this, I will be in Bethlehem with all your prayer
.
.
intentions. God bless you all.

EXCERPT FROM “MERCY AND TRUTH SHALL MEET”
BISHOP DAVID M. O’CONNELL, C.M.
Mercy helps us understand the Incarnation. Why did “the Word become Flesh and dwell among us (John 1: 14)?” We read in the Gospel
of John: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God
did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him (John 3: 16-17).”
Mercy helps us understand the Eucharist. Why did the Lord Jesus give us his
very Body and Blood as food and drink? In the Gospel of John we read: “Jesus said
to them, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who
believes in me will never thirst (John 6: 35)’.” In the Gospel of Luke we read:
“And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to
them, saying, ‘This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of
me.’ And in the same way he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup
which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood (Luke 22: 19-20)’.”
Because of his mercy and love for us, Christ gave us himself, whole and entire, in
the Eucharist.
ST. JOSEPH’S
PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Estimada Familia Parroquial,
En la Lectura de hoy podemos ver la Misericordia de Dios. En ella, Jesús es
acusado de compartir con pecadores, es una de las mejores parábolas en las
sagradas escrituras: “Un hombre tenía dos hijos,” (Uno muy bueno y el otro
no muy bueno). Es una historia de extravagancia y gastos inútiles prodigalidad – pero no el hijo. Aunque es la historia del hijo “prodigio”, el
afecto, amor y perdón del padre va más allá; él es “prodigio” con su amor.
La parábola concluye con la fiesta que el padre le da al hijo “que una vez se
había perdido y ahora fue encontrado.” Pero el hijo mayor, no quiere asistir a
la fiesta hasta que el padre le suplica que vaya más allá de su propia justicia.
Aquí vemos como el padre “dos veces” recurre a sus hijos: primero a besar al
errante, y después a consolar al mayor que se sentía herido. Veamos que
Jesús “acompaña a los pecadores”, sin importarle la clase de pecador que
eres. Una y otra vez en los evangelios, podemos ver la misericordia de Dios
en vivo.
En dos semanas, los invito a todos a que participen en el evento diocesano del
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia aquí en San José, en la escuela (Donovan
Catholic). Feligreses de toda la diócesis están invitados, habrá predicas,
educación para los jóvenes edades 11-16 años y para niños edades de 5-10
años, alabanza, confesiones, una bella procesión del Santísimo Sacramento
desde la escuela hasta la Iglesia, y culminara con la Coronilla de la Divina
Misericordia presidida por su Eminencia Obispo David O’Connell, C.M.
Vea el inserto en el boletín de hoy.
Tome nota que NO habrá Servicio de Confesión/Reconciliación en la
Cuaresma. Todos están invitados a participar en el Sacramento de
Reconciliación el día 19 de marzo en el evento diocesano del Año Jubilar de
la Misericordia.

Excerpta de la carta del Obispo David O’Connell “La Misericordia y la Verdad se Reunirá”
La Misericordia nos ayuda a conocer el misterio de la Encarnación. ¿Por qué “el Verbo se volvió Carne y
vive en nosotros”? (Juan 1:14). Leemos en el Evangelio de Juan: ¡“Así amo Dios al mundo! Le dio al Hijo
Único, para que quien cree en él no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna. Dios no envió al Hijo al mundo
para condenar al mundo, sino para que se salve el mundo gracias a él.” (Juan 3:16-17).
La Misericordia nos ayuda a comprender la Eucaristía. ¿Por qué el Señor Jesús nos dio su Cuerpo y Sangre como
bebida y alimento? En el Evangelio de Juan leemos: “Jesús les dijo: Yo soy el Pan de vida. El que viene a mí nunca tendrá
hambre y el que cree en mí nunca tendrá sed”. En el Evangelio de Lucas leemos: “Después tomo pan y dando gracias, lo
partió y se lo dio diciendo: “Este es mi cuerpo, que es entregado por ustedes. “Hagan esto en memoria mía”. Hizo lo mismo
con el cáliz después de cenar, diciendo: “Esta copa es la alianza nueva sellada con mi sangre, que es derramada por ustedes”.
Por su amor y misericordia a nosotros, Cristo se dio a sí mismo en cuerpo y alma en la Eucaristía.
