FROM THE PASTOR
In my estimation Lent seems to be moving extraordinarily fast this year. It is already the Fourth Sunday of
Lent. This weekend, like the one weekend in Advent,
is when the color changes from purple/violet to rose.
And for this weekend we are permitted to decorate
with flowers and use more musical accompaniment
than we do for the rest of the season. This weekend
is known in our Roman Catholic tradition as Laetare
Sunday, meaning “be joyful.” (If you can recall, you
heard that message “Be joyful” in the chanted entrance antiphon that the choir leads before the opening hymn of the Mass.) These are all cues that we are
more than halfway through Lent and we need to be
making serious efforts to prepare ourselves to more
worthily and joyfully observe the sacred and solemn
feast of Easter.
in attendance. It is always my goal to offer abundant
times for confessions because this is a vitally important sacrament that needs to be received regularly
and frequently. With our many weekly and special
offerings, it would be difficult to claim that one could
not make it to confession at some point. Thus, please
be aware of the schedule, plan ahead, and make your
confession a priority for the improvement of your life
with Jesus.
Please be aware of the many regular weekly confession times we offer and the additional times we are
offering during Lent. These weekly times are replacing the custom of doing one night with several priests

Fourth Sunday of Lent - 2nd Scrutiny
"Jesus said to them, 'If you were blind, you would have
no sin; but now you are saying, "We see," so your sin
remains.'" This Gospel reading is about more than the
man born physically blind. It is also about the spiritual
blindness of the Pharisees. These men refused to believe
in Jesus, even after the miraculous healing that occurred
at his hands that day. Instead, the Pharisees were obsessed with finding fault with Jesus, trying to come up
with some way to accuse him of wrongdoing rather than
to praise him as God.
The blind man who regained his sight, on the other
hand, was ready and willing to believe. He stands as an
example of a man with full sight, not just bodily vision
but the vision of the soul as well. This man, whom the
Pharisees kept belittling as a sinner, was really the righteous one. The Pharisees, who insisted on their righteousness, were the ones who were blind to their own
unbelief and sin.
We must be sure not to be like the Pharisees. As believers and practicing Christians, it can be too easy to
begin to think of ourselves as the "righteous" ones.
When we have a puffed-up opinion of ourselves, it is
sometimes tempting to look at those around us and
judge them as being spiritually inferior to us. The season
of Lent is the perfect antidote to this pharisaical tendency. During Lent, we stop. We take a real, honest
look at ourselves. We pray for the grace to recognize
our own sins, especially the ones we have become blind
to through frequent repetition or have rationalized
through our elaborate excuses. Jesus says that he came
"so that those who do not see might see." Indeed, he
has the cure for our blindness too.

PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA
4to domingo de Cuaresma
Tema: Yo creo.
Entender la Palabra
Texto sugerido para compartir la fe: El Evangelio de
hoy
Paso uno: Escuchar la Palabra
Cuando hoy escuchas lo que Jesús le dijo a Nicodemo,
¿qué palabras o frases te llaman la atención? ¿Qué parte de la lectura apela a tu corazón?
Paso dos: Evaluar tu vida
Pregunta para los niños: ¿Qué persona en tu vida
te apoya en tu fe y la hace crecer?
Pregunta para los jóvenes: El Evangelio habla de
seguir a Dios como un ir hacia la luz. ¿Cómo puedes
acercarte a la luz en tu propia vida? ¿Qué zonas oscuras necesitan la sanación de Jesús en tu vida?
Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Cuándo le resulta difícil creer? ¿Qué frase de esta lectura en particular le
ayuda en la fe?

MENSAJE DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO
En mi estimación Cuaresma parece estar avanzando extraordinariamente rápido este año. Ya estamos en el cuarto
domingo de Cuaresma. Este fin de semana, como el fin de
semana de Adviento, es cuando el color cambia de morado / violeta a rosa. Este fin de semana se nos permite decorar con flores y utilizar acompañamientos musicales más
que por el resto de la temporada. Este fin de semana se
conoce en nuestra tradición católica como el Domingo de
Laetare, que significa "alégrate." (Si usted puede recordar,
en la antífona de entrada entramos cantado “alégrate.”) .
Estamos ya en la mitad de la Cuaresma y tenemos que estar haciendo serios esfuerzos para prepararnos para observar más dignamente y con alegría la fiesta sagrada y solemne de la Pascua.
Por favor, tomen nota de las confesiones semanales que
ofrecemos y las horas adicionales que estamos ofreciendo
durante la Cuaresma. Estos horarios semanales están reemplazando la costumbre de tener una noche con varios
sacerdotes presentes. Siempre es mi meta ofrecer abundantes ocasiones para las confesiones, porque este es un
sacramento de vital importancia que debe ser recibido con
regularidad y con frecuencia. Con nuestras muchas oportunidades semanales y especiales de confesiones sería difícil afirmar que uno no puede venir a confesarse en ningún
momento. Por lo tanto, por favor, sean conscientes de los
horarios, planifique y que la confesión sea una prioridad
para la mejora de su vida con Jesús.
Kelli Pereira, nuestra recepcionista / secretaria en la oficina
parroquial, ahora se encarga de mi calendario. Para una cita
conmigo, por favor póngase en contacto con Kelli en la
oficina (359-2700). Estoy agradecido por la ayuda que
ofrece en la gestión de mi calendario entre mis diversos
trabajos.
Sinceramente en Cristo,
Padre Hamilton
“Si crees en el Señor Jesús, te salvaras tú y tu familia”.
(Hechos 16:31)
FAMILIAS PARA CRISTO es un apostolado de
la iglesia dedicado a la evangelización y formación
integral de la familia que incluye tanto a los padres
como a los jóvenes. El grupo se reúne los viernes a las 7:00 pm en el Salón Parroquial. ¡Los
esperamos! Para más información, llame a Carmen a la oficina de la parroquia (405) 359-2700.
