“If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, in your country,
assemble every evening to recite the rosary.” - Blessed Pope Piux IX
from Rosary Gems
Fifth Sunday of Lent
March 13, 2016
The Pastor’s Desk
Dear Friends,
May the Lord give you peace!
From 1995 to 1997 I was the director of a domestic violence shelter
in Phoenix. It was a wonderful experience. I often get a few raised
eyebrows when I tell people I loved my work in a domestic violence
shelter. After all, that is place of sorrow, hurt and even desperation.
That is all very true. But that is only one part of it. The name of
the shelter is New Life Shelter, and it is appropriately named. It was
an incredible experience for me and it marked my life in some very
significant ways.
I could tell you many stories about the numerous abused women who
came through that shelter. Some stories are more violent than others.
Some are more heart wrenching than others. They are all incredibly
painful. The common threads that run through each story are the
same: shame and anger. Shame: What did I do to deserve this? Is God
punishing me? How did I ruin my relationship? Anger: Why am I
stuck in a shelter? Why do I have to leave my home? Why hasn’t HE
been punished or arrested, or even yelled at? It is so unfair. All I could
do was listen, agree and empathize. Yes, it is so unfair.
Our woman in the gospel is an abused woman. No doubt, she made
some poor choices. No doubt, she broke the Mosaic Law. No doubt,
she sinned in the eyes of those men. And no doubt, the man with
whom she sinned was nowhere to be found. No doubt, he was not
being arrested, punished or even yelled at. They are ready to kill her
because she exercised her own free will. They are ready to kill her
because she did not succumb to the will of the men. In 2,000 years the
pattern has not changed.
Jesus’ intervention is remarkable. He does two things. First he treats
the woman fairly. He tells the angry mob of men “Let the one who is
without sin cast the first stone.” Jesus is not denying the sin of the
woman. He is simply making it clear that we all sin and that we all
must be treated fairly, just as God will treat us all fairly.
The second thing he does is treat the woman as an equal. He
treats her with respect, with dignity and with a great amount of
compassion. He tells her that no one is here to condemn her. He
sends her on her way and tells her to sin no more. He does not
judge her, he does not condemn her, and he does not abuse her. He
forgives her and loves her. He does not deny the sin. He does not
deny her poor choices. Instead he has mercy, and mercy invites
conversion.
Sisters and brothers, we are called to be merciful. There are people
like this woman in all of our lives. They are the people who don’t
do what we think they should do. They are the people who live
differently than we live. They are the people who, in our human
eyes, are sinful. Our job is not to judge them; it is not to condemn
them. It is to have mercy, to be compassionate and to be welcoming.
Unfortunately we are more prone to throwing stones than we are to
being merciful. But it is mercy, not stones, that invites conversion.
(The Pastor’s Desk is continued next column)
Page 4
When we forgive one another, we open the door to conversion. When
we have compassion for one another, we open the door to conversion.
When we realize that at one point in our lives or another, we are all
the abused woman, then we open the door to conversion. The best
argument for conversion is showing people that we are all equal. We
are all in this together. We are all sinful, but we are all compassionate
and forgiving. Mercy invites conversion.
I pray every day that I never forget my time in that domestic violence
shelter. I don’t remember all their names, and I don’t remember
all their stories, but I remember their faces. I remember the hurt,
the shame and the anger. In their faces I see everyone that I have
ignored, judged and abused. Their faces remind me that I have no
right to do that. Their faces remind me that I am called to compassion
and to reconciliation. Their faces remind me that God is merciful
and compassionate, that God forgives all our sins and never, ever
condemns us.
Pace e Bene,
Fr. Frank Sevola, OFM, Pastor
Fr. Frank can be reached at [email protected]
Dear Friends,
May the Lord give you peace!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who
expressed your condolences to me on the occasion of my
father’s death. I’ve passed your sympathy on to my mother
and sisters and they, too, are very grateful. As so many of
you know, a kind word of sympathy, a card, a mass, and
so many other expressions of sympathy do a great deal to
help alleviate the pain of loss. Although there is never a
good time to lose a parent or loved one, I am grateful to
God that I am living here with all of you during this time.
You have been a great and healing balm for me and I will
be forever grateful!
Pace e Bene,
Fr. Frank Sevola, OFM, Pastor

Misa en Español
Los domingos a las 9:00AM en el Centro Carnevale (10 Lenox
Ave, Pompton Lakes, NJ). Durante el año celebramos varias
eucaristías en la iglesia principal. Algunas celebraciones son
bilingües como la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, la
Vigilia Pascual, y el Día de Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving)
JUEVES 17 DE MARZO 2016- Solemnidad de San
Patricio
Hoy celebramos el gran “Apóstol de Irlanda” del siglo quinto,
san Patricio. Un santo que es reverenciado no sólo en el país al
cual llevó la fe católica, sino también en bastantes otros países del
mundo que, a su vez, en los siglos XIX y XX, fueron evangelizados
en buena parte por emigrantes y misioneros irlandeses. En el
Evangelio de su fiesta se nos narra como Jesús «designó otros
setenta y dos y los mandó por delante de dos en dos, a todos los
pueblos y lugares adonde pensaba ir Él» (Lc 10,1). De alguna
manera, resulta irónico que éste sea el pasaje seleccionado para
la fiesta de un santo que, como un caso singular entre todos los
grandes misioneros, él solo, sin ayuda de nadie, convirtió a toda
una nación del paganismo a la fe católica. Siendo adolescente,
llegó por primera vez a Irlanda como esclavo, procedente de la
Gran Bretaña romana, y llegó muy solo. Algunos años más tarde,
después de recibir la ordenación sacerdotal y episcopal, volvió a la
gente que lo había esclavizado, deseando profundamente ganarlos
para Cristo, y una vez más estuvo totalmente solo. Cristo necesita
santos. Incluso un solo santo puede convertir una nación entera, tal
como hoy contemplamos en san Patricio. El Papa Francisco nos
recordó que son esos hombres y mujeres cuyos corazones están
llenos —tal como era en san Patricio— del fuego del Espíritu Santo,
quienes iniciarán “¡una nueva etapa evangelizadora más fervorosa,
alegre, generosa, audaz, llena de amor hasta el fin y contagiosa!”.
Acompañamiento Espiritual
Por favor solicitar una cita con el Padre Gonzalo para poder
servirle. Este será un dialogo confidencial y en la presencia del
Espíritu Santo. Si usted es bilingüe puede solicitar una cita con
cualquiera de los cuatro frailes en la parroquia (Padres Frank,
Richard o Joe). También puede hablar con Milagros Anto.
DOMINGO 13 DE MARZO
DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
2016-
QUINTO
“…Aquel de ustedes que no tenga pecado, que le tire la primera
piedra… Entonces Jesús se enderezó y le preguntó: “Mujer,
¿dónde están los que te acusaban? ¿Nadie te ha condenado?”
Ella le contestó: “Nadie, Señor.” Y Jesús le dijo: “Tampoco yo te
condeno. Vete y ya no vuelvas a pecar.”” (Jn 8, 1-11)
Jesús no dejara nunca de sorprendernos con su bendita forma
de pensar y sobre todo con su más bendita forma de actuar. Lo
primero es salvar a la persona humana…a cada ser humano
en particular. Y este es el criterio fundamental para discernir
su voluntad hoy. Ese debe ser el criterio que nos guie hoy en
nuestros propios discernimientos.
St. Patrick
St. Joseph
SÁBADO 19 DE MARZO 2016- Solemnidad de San José,
esposo de la Virgen María
“Las principales fuentes de información sobre la vida de San José
son los primeros capítulos del evangelio de Mateo y de Lucas. En
los relatos no conocemos palabras expresadas por él, tan sólo
conocemos sus obras, sus actos de fe, amor y de protección como
padre responsable del bienestar de su amadísima esposa y de su
excepcional Hijo. Es un caso excepcional en la Biblia: un santo
al que no se le escucha ni una sola palabra. Es, pues, el “Santo
del silencio.”” Aciprensa.com
