FROM THE RECTOR
Lent has begun and of all the seasons of the Church year, Lent can be the
most challenging and difficult. The message of prayer, penance, sacrifice,
and fasting does not always fill your heart with joy and excitement. Lent
is hard work. It forces us to look at the parts of our lives that we would
rather not look at and to struggle with the faults and failings which we
ignore during the year.
However, there is another side to Lent, a joyful side filled with hope. The
first preface for Lent calls it “a gracious gift” from God. Indeed, it is a gift.
Lent is our loving God inviting us into a deeper relationship, giving us
another chance to save ourselves from our self-destructiveness, calling us
to be renewed and become the persons God created us to be. That same
preface tells us that during the Lenten season we await the celebration
of Easter “with the joy of minds and hearts renewed”. Personal renewal
requires discipline and hard work but it also means feeling the joy of finally
overcoming our selfish and destructive habits by the grace of God. A mind
and a heart renewed mean no longer feeling hopeless and unable to move
forward in your life. The preface then tells us that the journey of renewal
begins when we become “more eagerly intent on prayer and on works
of charity.” In the end, it is not our strength but God’s grace and power
that renew us. To be intent on prayer means knowing that left alone we
are powerless but with God all things become possible. Works of charity
remind us to share with others the blessings God has given to us. In the
end, the Lenten journey always leads us beyond ourselves and our personal needs ; a truly spiritual journey will always make us sensitive to the
needs of others. May these weeks of Lent truly be for you a gracious gift
from God.
EN ESPAÑOL
La Cuaresma ha comenzado y de todos los tiempos del año litúrgico, la
Cuaresma puede ser la más desafiante y difícil. El mensaje de la oración,
la penitencia, el sacrificio, y el ayuno no siempre llenan sus corazones de
alegría y emoción. La Cuaresma es un trabajo duro. Nos obliga a mirar a
las partes de nuestras vidas que preferimos no mirar y luchar con los defectos y las faltas que ignoramos durante el año.
Sin embargo, hay otra cara de la Cuaresma, un lado alegre lleno de esperanza. El primer prefacio de Cuaresma lo llama “un don de gracia” de
Dios. De hecho, es un don. La Cuaresma es nuestro amoroso Dios que
nos invita a una relación más profunda, que nos da otra oportunidad para
salvarnos de nuestra autodestrucción, llamándonos a ser renovados y ser
las personas que Dios nos creó para ser. Ese mismo prefacio nos dice que
durante el tiempo de Cuaresma esperamos la celebración de la Pascua
“con la alegría de las mentes y de los corazones renovados”. La renovación personal requiere disciplina y trabajo duro pero también significa
sentir la alegría de la superación definitiva de nuestros hábitos egoístas y
destructivos por la gracia de Dios. Una mente y un corazón renovado ya
no significan sentirse desesperados e incapaces de seguir adelante en sus
vidas. El prefacio a continuación nos dice que el camino de renovación
comienza cuando nos volvemos “con más entusiasmo a la oración y a las
obras de caridad.” Al final, no es nuestra fuerza pero la gracia y el poder
de Dios que nos renuevan, Cuando intentamos rezar sabemos que solos
no tenemos el poder, pero con Dios todas las cosas son posibles. Las obras
de caridad nos recuerdan a compartir con otros las bendiciones que Dios
nos ha dado. Al final, el camino de la Cuaresma nos lleva siempre más allá
de nosotros mismos y nuestras necesidades personales; un camino verdaderamente espiritual siempre nos hará sensibles a las necesidades de
los demas. Que estas semanas de Cuaresma sean realmente para ustedes
un don de gracia de Dios.
