Fourth Sunday of Lent
March 6, 2016
Whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come.
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
A SUNDAY FOR REJOICING
Today’s Gospel story of the prodigal son is a favorite of many. We can
identify with all the major figures and their crisscross of emotions. The father’s initial grief over his young son’s
avarice is turned to relief at his return. The son’s grief over his loss of fortune, family, and friends is turned to delirious
joy at the sight of his father.
We understand the eldest son’s bewilderment over his father’s generosity. For the older son, virtue seems not to be
its own reward. For all his honorable toil and loyalty, there seems to be no celebration. The father, however, is
prodigal in his forgiveness and mercy. He expects the same generosity from his older son. He wants all to rejoice when
the lost one is found.
This is a Sunday for rejoicing. It’s time to pause, consider, and encourage one another. We are the prodigal
children heading home. We are the elder siblings waiting with the eager Father, who scans the horizon. In Christ Jesus
we are reconciled to the Father and one another. In his death and resurrection we have passed over. We are a new
creation. In this we rejoice.

Election Thought: Sometimes an elected
official is the one who gets 51 percent of the
vote cast by 40 percent of the 60 percent of
voters who registered. Which, if you are good
at math comes to one in eight voted for them.

FEAR
I have heard it said, “A healthy fear is a good
thing”. Fear helps us to be cautious. Yet, sometimes it
immobilizes and stops us from Christian action and
being fully alive. What we need is the reassuring
Presence of Jesus who moves us from fear to trust.
Jesus said, “Love casts out fear”. As Christians, we
move from fear to trust by the experience of being loved
by God. “I pray that you will be able to grasp fully the
breadth, length, the height and the depth of God’s Love
for you.” (Ephesians 3:18)
I would like to share St. Francis De Sales advice on trust
in God. “Do not look forward in fear to what might
happen tomorrow; the same Everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you
tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing
strength to bear it. Be at peace then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.”
A friend, Wally Dondero shared this following cutting from the Sacramento Bee, it was in
their “Thought for the Day” in the sixties. Wally said his mother saved it because it helped her
realize she was not raising her children alone. It is easy to love those who measure up to our
standards, but it is Christ like to love those who seem to have failed us, disappointed us, betrayed
our trust in them. In the account of Jesus’ response to the Rich Young Man who could not find it in
his heart to follow Jesus. In Mark 10:21 we read Jesus looked upon him and loved him. If our
children choose not to follow in the path that to us seems best for them—what can we, as parents
do? Like Jesus, we can still love them and pray for them. More than we know, we can help others
as we look upon them with love and compassion and give them our blessing as they go on their
way. We can do this by remembering, that they do not go alone, that God is with them.
God Bless,
Fr. Mike

Giggles:
When his young son came home from school, his father asked him, “Did you tell
your teacher that the reason you were off school was because you had twin baby
sisters?” “Yes, Daddy”, said the boy. “But I only told them about one.”
Dad asked, “Oh, why was that?” The boy answered, “I’m saving the other one for
next week.”

Grandmother:
“Why is our family like a box of chocolates?”
Johnny:
“They are mostly sweet, with a few nuts.”

The police station Sargent asked a new recruit, “Have you ever seen a lie detector?”
Recruit: “Better than that Sargent, I married one.”

An older man went for his annual check-up. He told the doctor “I’m getting forgetful. I forget
where I’ve parked my car, I can’t remember what I want when I go shopping, I usually forget
my wallet when I get to the checkout. It’s getting bad, Doc. What can I do?” The doctor
thought for a moment and said, “Pay me in advance.”

Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma
6 de marzo de 2016
El que vive según Cristo
es una creatura nueva;
para él todo lo viejo ha pasado.
Ya todo es nuevo.
— 2 Corintios 5:17
UN DOMINGO PARA ALEGRARSE
Pocas parábolas del Evangelio son tan queridas por el pueblo cristiano como la del hijo
pródigo. Nos podemos identificar con todos sus personajes, y con las emociones que se
entrecruzan entre ellos. El dolor del padre por la avaricia y desconsideración de su hijo se convierte en alegría al verlo
regresar. El dolor del hijo por haber perdido todo lo que tenía –dinero, familia, amigos– se convierte en alegría delirante al
ver como su padre lo recibe.
Pero también comprendemos el desconcierto del hijo mayor ante la generosidad de su padre. Para el hijo mayor, la
virtud no es su propia recompensa. Ha trabajado duro, y ha sido un hijo leal, pero eso no se celebra con fiestas ni
banquetes. Pero su padre es un padre pródigo, y prodiga su perdón y su misericordia. Y espera que su hijo mayor tenga
esa misma generosidad. Quiere que todos se regocijen porque el que estaba perdido ha sido hallado.
Este es un domingo para alegrarse. Es día de hacer una pausa, y de considerarnos y alentarnos unos a otros. Porque
todos somos hijos pródigos, en el camino de regreso al hogar de nuestro padre. Y debemos también ser hermanos
mayores, pero hermanos mayores que esperan junto con el padre ansioso, mientras vislumbra el horizonte. En Cristo
Jesús nos vemos reconciliados, con Dios Padre, y con nuestros hermanos. En su Muerte y Resurrección hemos pasado
de la muerte a la vida. Somos una nueva creación. Y esto nos llena de alegría.
