The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of
sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free. ─Lk 4:18
El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido para
llevar a los pobres la buena nueva, para anunciar la liberación
a los cautivos y la curación a los ciegos,
para dar libertad a los oprimidos. ─Lc 4, 18

JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
LITURGY SERVICES
Masses
Amid fears of terrorist ac$vity, uncertainty about the implica$ons of
Texas’s gun legisla$on, and the inevitable doldrums of the dead of
winter, Bishop Kevin Farrell’s Pastoral Leer for the Jubilee Year of
Mercy has some encouraging words for us: “As we reflect on our place
in the world, in personal and communal terms, we know only too well
that we are imperfect, that rela$ons among na$ons are imperfect and
that we need the kind of help that can only come from God. God’s help
ʹ this help we come to know as God’s mercy ʹ establishes and
confirms the sense of peace in the world.”

Have you considered naming St. Rita Parish as a beneficiary in your will? Established in December 2015, the purpose of the St. Rita Planned
Giving and Endowment Program is to promote opportuni$es for
individuals and families to consider the St. Rita Catholic Community in
their estate planning. The Legacy Society’s purpose is to recognize and
thank those who have no$fied the parish of their intended future giA
to our parish or the school through a bequest, trust, life insurance
policy, or re$rement plan. A charitable bequest in your will can benefit
our parish community while reducing the tax impact on your estate.
Legacy Society Members bestow the giA of con$nued financial

El Programa de Planificación de Ofrendas y Obsequios de Santa Rita
(Legacy Society) fue fundada en diciembre de 2015, con el obje$vo es
reconocer y agradecer a las personas y familias que han no$ficado a la
Comunidad Católica Santa Rita que han planificado dejar un regalo
futuro a nuestra parroquia o la escuela a través de un legado, un
fideicomiso, una póliza de seguro de vida, o un plan de jubilación. Un
legado carita$vo en su testamento puede beneficiar a nuestra comunidad parroquial al mismo $empo que reduce el impacto fiscal sobre su

“Cómo vivir la Eucaristía que nos mandó celebrar el Señor”
La Misa contiene lo más sagrado y sublime que
existe en el universo.
• Cristo está presente en el cielo y también en el altar, y se entrega
hoy al Padre como lo hizo el Viernes Santo.
• En la Eucarisa se conene todo el bien espiritual
de la Iglesia: Jesucristo, que incorpora a su Iglesia,
y a todos sus miembros, a su sacrificio pascual,
ofrecido una vez por todos en la cruz al Padre; y,
por medio de este sacrificio, derrama la gracia de
la salvación sobre su Cuerpo que es la Iglesia.
• La Eucarisga es también el sacrificio de la Iglesia, porque ella es el
Cuerpo de Cristo y par$cipa del sacrificio de su Cabeza. Los domingos en Sweeney Hall

EL EVANGELIO NOS LLAMA A HACERNOS
"PRÓJIMOS" DE LOS POBRES Y LOS
ABANDONADOS, PARA OFRECERLES UNA
ESPERANZA CONCRETA.
(RV).Ͳ Dios no se de$ene
ante las apariencias, sino
que ve con el corazón,
señaló el Papa Francisco
en su homilía, en la Misa
matu$na, en la capilla de
la Casa de Santa Marta.
Reflexionando sobre la
primera lectura, que
narra la elección del
joven David como rey de
Israel, el Santo Padre
destacó que también en la vida de los Santos hay tentaciones y pecados, como muestra precisamente la vida de David, pero que nunca hay
que usar a Dios para vencer una causa propia.
El Señor rechaza a Saúl «porque tenía el corazón cerrado, no había
obedecido al Señor» y piensa elegir a otro rey, recordó el Papa, con el
primer Libro de Samuel.
El Señor ve el corazón, no se deene ante las apariencias
Una elección que se aparta de los criterios humanos, porque David era
el más joven de los hijos de Jesé, era un chiquillo. Pero el Señor hace
comprender al profeta Samuel que para Él las apariencias no cuentan.
«El Señor ve con el corazón»:
«Nosotros, tantas veces, somos esclavos de las apariencias, esclavos de
lo que parece y nos dejamos llevar por estas cosas: ‘Pero, así parece…’
Sin embargo, el Señor sabe la verdad. Como en esta historia. Pasan los
siete hijos de Jesé y el Señor no elige a ninguno, los deja pasar. Samuel
se siente algo incómodo y le dice al Padre: ¿ni siquiera a éste ha elegido? ¿Están aquí todos los muchachos? ‘Queda todavía el más joven,
que no cuenta, que está apacentando el rebaño’. Ante los ojos de los
hombres, este jovencito no cuenta».
David reconoce su pecado y pide perdón
No contaba para los hombres, pero el Señor lo elige y manda a Samuel
que lo unja. Y «el Espíritu del Señor descendió sobre David». Y, desde
ese día, toda la vida de David fue la vida un hombre ungido por el Señor, elegido por el Señor», reiteró el Papa Francisco, y después de preguntar: ¿entonces, el Señor lo hizo Santo?, respondió: «No, el Rey David
es el Santo Rey David, es verdad, pero solo después de una vida larga» y
una vida con pecados:
«Santo y pecador. Un hombre que ha sabido unir el Reino, ha sabido
llevar adelante al pueblo de Israel. Pero tenía sus tentaciones… tenía
sus pecados: fue también un asesino. Para encubrir su lujuria, el pecado
de adulterio, mandó… mandó matar. ¡Él! El Santo Rey David mató Pero
cuando Dios envió al profeta Natán para hacer ver esta realidad, porque no se había dado cuenta de la barbarie que había ordenado, reconoció ‘he pecado’ y pidió perdón»
Recordando la vida del Rey David que «nunca u$lizó a Dios para vencer
una causa propia» y que cuando lo insultaban, pensaba para sí mismo:
me lo merezco, el Papa hizo hincapié en que «el Santo Rey David era un
gran pecador, pero se arrepin$ó» y señaló que le conmueve la vida de
este hombre, que nos ayuda a pensar en la nuestra:
«Todos nosotros hemos sido elegidos por el Señor a través del Bau$smo, para estar en su pueblo, para ser Santos; hemos sido consagrados
por el Señor, en este camino de la san$dad. Leyendo esta vida de un
niño ʹ no, era más bien un joven ʹ luego de joven a viejo, que hizo tantas cosas buenas y otras no tan buenas, se me ocurre pensar que en el
camino cris$ano, en el camino que el Señor nos ha invitado a recorrer,
se me ocurre pensar que no hay ningún Santo sin pasado, y tampoco un
pecador sin futuro»
