Calendar of Events Regulations for Fast and Abstinence Fasting is to be observed by all, 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day, one full is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Easting between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed. Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted. Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and preparation for baptism or of renewal or of baptism at Easter.

Refreshments: Available for purchase Iglesia de Santa Maria, Sterling, IL Teléfonos 626- 5735 / 625- 0640 Dios Perdona sin Condiciones Página de Internet: www.stmarysterling.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Piadosamente, al final de alguna novela en la que el personaje malvado acaba encerrado en un manicomio, muerto, o paralizo del cuello para abajo, alguien dice que Dios hizo su justica. Curiosamente, la misma persona que lo dice a menudo es el personaje bueno y excelente que estaría dispuesta a perdonar y empezar de nuevo. La misericordia de Dios no es menos que la humana, sino todo lo contrario. Lo que a veces los humanos no podemos perdonar. Dios lo perdona ampliamente y sin condiciones. ¿Por qué, entonces adjudicarle a Dios la especie de venganza o retribución que se refleja en estas novelas? A todos nos pueden ocurrir cosas malas, y no siempre podríamos remontarnos a una grave ofensa para explicar el origen de tal mal. Como, en las catástrofes naturales, no podríamos decir que los sufrimientos de las víctimas se deben a sus pecados. Ni tampoco a la voluntad de Dios. Eso equivaldría a decir que Dios es un ser cruel…nada más lejos de la definición de la identidad de Dios: Dios es amor. Y la voluntad de Dios no es que suframos, sino que utilicemos nuestro sufrimiento para nuestro crecimiento y para el bien de los demás. Horario de Oficinas Nuestro horario para la oficinas del centro parroquial lunes a viernes es 9.00 a.m.-4.00 p.m. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ministros para el fin de semana del 10 de Marzo Lectores: Esther Uresti, Gabriel Ocampo Ministro de Eucaristia: Melisa Villa, Ana Rosa Olivo, Linda Balderas, Juan Castañeda Monaguilos: Jose Lorenzo Hernandez, Asiel Torres, Felipe Olivas Acomodadores: Chema Uresti, Nahu Uresti, Manuel Olivo, Jr., Manuel Olivo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clases de Preparación Para Bautismo Las platicas serán el 2 de Febrero de las 2.00pm a las 4:00pm, en el Centro Parroquial.

Oración Señor Jesús, tú nos vas abriendo caminos en la vida y nos vas mostrando tu voluntad por medio de los acontecimientos y de las necesidades que encontramos a nuestro alrededor. Concédenos, por intercesión de tu amiga, Francisca de Roma, descubrir y seguir fielmente tus caminos para nuestra vida. Que, por sus oraciones, encontremos la felicidad en dondequiera que estemos viviendo en tu presencia. Que tú, Señor, seas siempre nuestra alegría, como lo fuiste en al vida de Francisca. Amen Lo que sí pueden ofrecer las catástrofes, las enfermedades y el mal que sufrimos es una ocasión de reflexionar sobre la propia vida y sobre lo que de verdad es importante para nosotros. Es un momento de poner todas las cosas en perspectiva y ver si de verdad le damos prioridad a lo central en nuestra vida: el estar cerca de Dios, el vivir nuestra vida de familia con amor, aunque cuete sacrificio, el buscar el bien de los demás, el comprometernos con la comunidad en que vivimos...El dinero, el avance material, el progreso, son buenos si aseguran el futuro de nuestra familia y comunidad, pero no son el significado absoluto de la vida. No deberían ocupar el lugar de Dios, ni de lo que, a nivel más profundo, valoramos más. Si tanto los males o las alegrías nos distraen de lo central, que es más. Si tanto los males o las alegrías nos distraen de lo central, que es Dios, perdemos de vista quiénes somos y, sobre todo, de quiénes somos. Para la Reflexión ¿Qué problemas he vivido últimamente? ¿Los he provechado para acercarme más a Dios?
