OUR PRIEST ADMINISTRATOR
Fr. Dwight’s
Message
“Sunday is the Lord’s DAY; not the
Lord’s HOUR!”
Brothers and sisters,
Fr. Dwight asked me to write the message for this week. We are about to enter the great and holy season of Lent. But what
is Lent about, really? We give things up, we put change in our Rice Bowls for Catholic Relief Services, we don’t eat meat
on Fridays (hopefully not so we can feast on lobster!), we fast (hopefully not just in the hope of losing some weight!). We
might go further and seek to make some positive virtuous change in our life, or to root out some sinful habit. Still, even
then, we aren’t reaching the heart of Lent if we leave it there. Lent isn’t primarily about self-improvement.
It is always surprising to me that the two most attended liturgies in the United States besides Christmas and Easter are Ash
Wednesday and Palm Sunday. Often it is said that this is because these are special days where people ‘get’ something. I’m
always left scratching my head in wonder, because don’t people realize what they can ‘get’ at every Mass? That every time
the priest invites the faithful to come forward for communion we are invited to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus? That
we are being allowed to become part of his Body? We are offered, at every Mass, the greatest gift that ever was
offered- Jesus Christ himself!
This, this is the real meaning of Lent: not ashes, not palms, not practices, but Communion: communion with God in Jesus
Christ, and through that, communion with one another. This is why we do everything that we do in the Church: to build
communion. In Lent we make a special effort to get rid of the things that stand in the way of that communion- both with
God, and with other people. That is what our Lenten practices are for.
Besides your regular Lenten practices, I especially challenge everyone in the parish to make room in our busy and noisy
world for some intentional stillness and silence this Lent. God speaks to us most profoundly, and most clearly, when we
make ourselves available to listen.
During Lent we also journey in a special way with those among us who are preparing to enter the Church at Easter, either
those seeking baptism, or those who are already baptized and preparing to enter into full communion with our Church. Pray
for them! Welcome them! Let them know they are loved! Let us give them an example of the communion they are preparing to experience! In the early Church, many pagans were drawn to Christianity, saying, “See how these Christians love one
another!” Today, sadly, that quote is more often used sarcastically. Imagine what could happen if strangers encountered our
parish family and were drawn in by our example of love!
-Michael Schmitz
P.S. Since Fr. Dwight so graciously gave me this first page in the bulletin this week, I couldn’t resist taking the opportunity
to put a few youth group announcements at the front:
Youth Group Updates!
Follow us on Twitter: @Youth_StMarys, or like our Facebook page! We are hoping to start up again for high school on
Feb. 22nd, and middle school on Feb. 23rd!
Jr. High Rally!- March 7
The Archdiocesan Junior High Rally is going to be on Saturday, March 7 at O’Dea High School and St. James Cathedral in
Seattle. The theme is ‘Make a Mess!’ It begins at 9am and the last event is Mass with Archbishop Sartain at 5:30pm! If you
register by Feb. 20th, the cost is $50, and you get a Rally T-Shirt! After that the cost is $60 until March 2nd, and $70 at the
door. Come worship, play, and grow in faith with middle school youth from around the Archdiocese! Contact me if you’re
interested!
Missing Sacraments
If your child is in 6th grade or above, and has not received either Baptism or First Communion, and they would like to receive
it, contact me as soon as possible!
Volunteers Needed!
Is Christ calling you to help out with youth group? I am in need of volunteers to help with High School and Middle School
youth group nights (Previous volunteers are welcome! I just don’t know who you are!), as well as volunteers to help teach
Confirmation. We also need parents who are willing to sign up to provide snacks at the youth group nights. Call me at the
parish office, ext. 103, or email me at [email protected]. God is never outdone in generosity!
Hermanos y hermanas,
Padre Dwight me pidió que escribiera el mensaje de esta semana. Estamos a punto de entrar en la grande y santa temporada de
Cuaresma. Pero, ¿acerca de que es la Cuaresma, en realidad? Nos privamos de cosas, ponemos cambio en nuestra Tazon de Arroz
de Catholic Relief Services, no comemos carne los viernes (ojala no sea para hacer un festin de langosta!), Ayunamos (ojala no sea
solo con la esperanza de perder peso!). Podríamos ir más allá y tratar de hacer algún cambio virtuoso positivo en nuestra vida, o
para acabar con algún hábito pecaminoso. Sin embargo, incluso entonces, no estamos llegando al corazón de la Cuaresma si lo
dejamos ahí. La Cuaresma no es principalmente acerca de la auto-mejora. Siempre es sorprendente para mí que las dos liturgias
más visitadas en Estados Unidos, además de Navidad y Pascua son el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Domingo de Ramos. A menudo se
dice que esto se debe a que estos son días especiales en los que la gente 'obtiene' algo. Siempre me quedo rascándome la cabeza
con asombro, porque la gente no se da cuenta de lo que pueden "conseguir" en cada Misa? Que cada vez que el sacerdote invita a
los fieles a acudir en busca de la comunión se nos invita a recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús? Que se nos permite llegar a ser
parte de su cuerpo? Se nos ofrece, en cada misa, el regalo más grande jamas ofrecido antes- Jesucristo mismo! Esto, esto es el
verdadero significado de la Cuaresma: no cenizas, no palmas, no prácticas, sino la comunión: comunión con Dios en Jesucristo, y
por eso, la comunión unos con otros. Es por esto que hacemos todo lo que hacemos en la Iglesia: para construir la comunión. En
Cuaresma hacemos un esfuerzo especial para deshacerse de las cosas que se interponen en el camino de esa comunión-ambos con
Dios y con los demás. Eso es para lo que son nuestras practicas cuaresmales. Además de sus prácticas cuaresmales regulares, en
especial reto a todos los miembros de la parroquia para hacer espacio en nuestro mundo concurrido y ruidoso para alguna quietud y
silencio intencional en esta Cuaresma. Dios nos habla más profundamente, y más claramente, cuando nos hacemos
disponibles para escuchar. Durante la Cuaresma nosotros tambien caminamos en una manera especial junto a aquellos entre nosotros que se estan preparando para entrar en la Iglesia en la Pascua, ya sea aquellos que buscan el bautismo, o los que ya están
bautizados y se preparan para entrar en plena comunión con la Iglesia. Oremos por ellos! Darles la bienvenida! Hazles saber que
ellos son amados! Démosles un ejemplo de la comunión que se están preparando para experimentar! En la Iglesia primitiva, muchos paganos se sintieron atraídos por el cristianismo, diciendo: "Vean cómo estos cristianos se aman unos a otros!" Hoy, por desgracia, esa cita se utiliza más a menudo con sarcasmo. Imagínese lo que podría suceder si los extraños encontraran nuestra familia
parroquial y fueran atraidos por el ejemplo del amor!
-Michael Schmitz PD Ya que el P. Dwight tan gentilmente me dio esta primera página en el boletín de esta semana, no pude
resistirme a tomar la oportunidad de poner algunos anuncios de grupos de jóvenes en la parte delantera:
Actualizaciones grupo de jóvenes! Síguenos en Twitter:Youth_StMarys, o en nuestra página de Facebook! Estamos
esperando poner en marcha de nuevo para la escuela secundaria en 22 de febrero, y la escuela media en 23 de febrero!
Jr. High Rally - 07 de Marzo: El Rally Arquidiocesano Júnior va a ser el sábado 7 de marzo en O'Dea High School y la Catedral
de St. James, en Seattle. El tema es "hacer un lío!" Comienza a las 9 am y el último tema es la Misa con el Arzobispo Sartain a las
5:30 pm! Si se registra en o antes de 20 de febrero, el costo es de $ 50, y se obtiene un camiseta! Después el costo es de $ 60 hasta
el 2 de marzo y $ 70 en la puerta. Ven a alabar, jugar y crecer en la fe con jóvenes de secundaria de toda la Arquidiócesis! Ponte en
contacto conmigo si estás interesado!
Sacramentos que falta: Si su hijo está en sexto grado o superior, y no ha recibido ni el bautismo o primera comunión, y les gustaría recibirlo, póngase en contacto conmigo tan pronto como sea posible!
Se necesitan voluntarios!
Está Cristo te llama para ayudar con el grupo de jóvenes? Estoy en la necesidad de voluntarios para ayudar con la escuela
secundaria y la escuela secundaria de noches de grupos de jóvenes (voluntarios anteriores son bienvenidos! Yo no sé lo que eres!),
Así como voluntarios para ayudar a enseñar la Confirmación. También necesitamos padres que están dispuestos a inscribirse para
preparar los refrigerios en las noches de grupos juveniles. Llámame en la oficina parroquial, ext. 103, o por correo electrónico me
[email protected]. Dios nunca se deja ganar en generosidad!

From our
Holy Father,
Pope Francis
Vatican City, Feb 10, 2015 / 01:23 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- In his homily Tuesday, Pope Francis
said that Christians must have a certain “restlessness” if they want to know God, who is not
found by staring at a computer, but rather by going outside of oneself.
“Sedentary Christians, lethargic Christians will not know the face of God: They do not know Him,”
the Pope told attendees of his Feb. 10 daily Mass, which took place in the chapel of the Vatican’s
Saint Martha guesthouse.
“You need a certain restlessness to set out on this path, the same restlessness that God placed in
each of our hearts and that brings us forward in search of Him.”
The Pope spoke of the right and wrong paths that Christians can take when searching for the
origins of their own identity. When looking, it is important to note that the image of God cannot
be found “on a computer, or in encyclopedias,” he said.
Rather, the only way to find the image of God and understand one’s own identity is to “set out
on a journey,” Francis said.

VATICANO, 10 Feb. 15 / 10:36 am (ACI/EWTN Noticias).- Durante la Misa matutina en la Casa
Santa Marta, el Papa Francisco señaló que si un cristiano quiere conocer su identidad, no puede
quedarse cómodamente sentado en un sillón ojeando un libro, sino que debe ponerse en camino
y “buscar el rostro del Señor”, pues de lo contrario corre el riesgo de hacer “una caricatura de
Dios”.
En ese sentido, al comentar la lectura del Libro del Génesis, el Pontífice recordó que la creación
del hombre se hizo “a imagen de Dios”.
Esta imagen no se la encuentra “ciertamente en la computadora ni en las enciclopedias”. Para
encontrar y entender “mi identidad” solo hay un modo, “poniéndose en camino”. De otra manera
“nunca podremos conocer el rostro de Dios”.
“Quien no se pone en camino, nunca conocerá la imagen de Dios, nunca encontrará el rostro de
Dios. Los cristianos que permanecen sentados, los cristianos quietos no conocerán el rostro de
Dios: no lo conocen. Dicen: 'Dios es así, así...' pero no lo conocen. Los quietos. Para caminar es
necesaria aquella inquietud que el mismo Dios ha puesto en nuestro corazón y que te lleva a
buscarle”.
Pero este “ponerse en camino” significa también “dejar que Dios o la vida nos pongan a prueba,
ponerse en camino es arriesgar”. Así hicieron, por ejemplo, el profeta Elías, Jeremías o Job,
explicó el Papa.
