That pagan mentality is manifest everywhere, and it invades even Christian environments. There are many Christians who reject love when it involves sacrifice, and look only for wealth and pleasure. For some, sacrifice and the cross are meaningless. They think that having a good time, dancing, playing, eating, drinking and spending time doing nothing is what life is all about. Without realizing it, they are wasting their life. Paradoxically, a life of pleasure is an empty and sterile life. On the contrary, a self-denying life is always vigorous and fertile. That is what Jesus teaches us today, when he says: “Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.” This means that man’s happiness and salvation do not lay in living selfishly for himself, but in dying to sin and living for God and for others. Just like the grain of wheat which “if it dies produces much fruit”, by dying to sin we live for God and obtain salvation. Many thanks to the organizers and participants of the Black and White Gala and especially to the members of the parents association for their generous help. Thanks as well to Marta Vargas for her excellent presentation Del Desierto a la Vida during our Lenten nights of reflection in Spanish. Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma (Ciclo B) Rincón del Párroco Desgraciadamente, en la sociedad contemporánea, como en los tiempos de Jesús, predomina una mentalidad hedonista que considera el placer y el bienestar personal como único fin de la vida. Esa mentalidad pagana se manifiesta por todas partes y penetra incluso en ambientes cristianos. Hay muchos cristianos que aborrecen el amor cuando este significa sacrificio, y sólo buscan dinero y placer. Para algunos la cruz y el sacrificio no tienen sentido. Creen que vivir es gozar, bailar, jugar, comer, tomar y pasar la vida sin trabajar. Sin darse cuenta, están perdiendo su vida. Pardójicamente, la vida de placer es una vida vacía e infecunda. Por el contrario, la vida abnegada es siempre vigorosa y fecunda. Esto es lo que nos enseña Jesús en el evangelio de hoy cuando nos dice: “El que ama su vida la destruye, y el que desprecia su vida en este mundo la conserva para la vioda eterna”. Esto quiere decir que la felicidad del hombre y su salvación no está en vivir para sí, con sentido egoísta, sino en morir al pecado y vivir para Dios y para los demás. Como el grano de trigo que “si muere da mucho fruto”. Muriendo al pecado, vivimos para Dios y nos salvamos. Mis agradecimientos a los organizadores y participantes de la Black and White Gala, y especialmente a la asociación de padres por su generosa labor. Gracias también a Marta Vargas por su excelente presentación “Del desierto a la vida” durante nuestra reflexión de Cuaresma en español. Fr.

His learning and virtuous reputation led to his beinh named Archbishop of Lima, Peru, in May 1579. He began his mission baptizing and teaching the natives. Three times he traversed the 450,000 square kilometers (170,000 sq mi) of his diocese, generally on foot, baptizing and confirming nearly one half million souls, among them St. Rose of Lima and St. Martin de Porres. He built roads, schoolhouses and chapels, many hospitals and convents, and at Lima, in 1591, founded the first seminary in the western hemisphere.

Construyó carreteras, colegios y capillas así como hospitales y conventos y en 1591 fundó en Lima el primer seminario del hemisferio occidental. Fifth Sunday in Lent Page 7 The POPE SPEAKS/HABLA EL PAPA Lenten Message, 2015 As individuals too, we have are tempted by indifference. Flooded with news reports and troubling images of human suffering, we often feel our complete inability to help. What can we do to avoid being caught up in this spiral of distress and powerlessness? First, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer! Second, we can help by acts of charity, reaching out to both those near and far through the Church’s many charitable organizations. Third, the suffering of others is a call to conversion, since their need reminds me of the uncertainty of my own life and my dependence on God and my brothers and sisters. If we humbly implore God’s grace and accept our own limitations, we will trust in the infinite possibilities which God’s love holds out to us. We will also be able to resist the diabolical temptation of thinking that by our own efforts we can save the world and ourselves. Mensaje de Cuaresma, 2015 También como individuos tenemos la tentación de la indiferencia. Estamos saturados de noticias e imágenes tremendas que nos narran el sufrimiento humano y, al mismo tiempo, sentimos toda nuestra incapacidad para intervenir. ¿Qué podemos hacer para no dejarnos absorber por esta espiral de horror y de impotencia? En primer lugar, podemos orar en la comunión de la Iglesia terrenal y celestial. No olvidemos la fuerza de la oración de tantas personas. En segundo lugar, podemos ayudar con gestos de caridad, llegando tanto a las personas cercanas como a las lejanas, gracias a los numerosos organismos de caridad de la Iglesia. Y, en tercer lugar, el sufrimiento del otro constituye un llamado a la conversión, porque la necesidad del hermano me recuerda la fragilidad de mi vida, mi dependencia de Dios y de los hermanos. Si pedimos humildemente la gracia de Dios y aceptamos los límites de nuestras posibilidades, confiaremos en las infinitas posibilidades que nos reserva el amor de Dios.

A special thank you to Renne Domenech and Angie Triana who co-chaired the event. We greatly appreciate all the time, passion and heart that these members give to our church and school. The Miami-Dade County Youth Fair & Exposition supports youth achievement by providing opportunities for students to showcase their talents and compete against other students. This year, St. Hugh Catholic School competed in the drama division for the first time. Students were asked to select and memorize an excerpt from a play, dramatic literary work or an anthology of monologues and develop it into an audition piece to be performed in front of several judges. It is with great pride that we announce that all three students that participated won first place in the solo monologues category. Our winning students were as follows: Isabella De Sousa: “I’m the Greatest Star” from Funny Girl Valeria Bigott: “Queendom” from You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown Alexandro Garces: “Marc Antony’s Speech” from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Congratulations to our talented students and to our wonderful music teacher, Ms. Gentzschein who helped them prepare for the competition.
