OUR MISSION: The Mission of St. Juliana Parish is to grow spiritually, Evangelize and serve, united as one family of faith,

welcoming and including each person with love.

NUESTRA MISIÓN: La Misión de la Parroquia de Santa Juliana es crecer

espiritualmente, Evangelizar y servir, unidos como una familia de fe, acogiendo e incluyendo a cada persona

con amor.

In our first reading from Genesis 9, we hear the story of the covenant that God makes with Noah and his family. God promises them and us that “never again shall all bodily creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood.” He also said “I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

Every time we see a beautiful rainbow in the sky, we should remember this covenant, this promise. Every time we should also recall the boundless mercy of the Lord.

Our Lord’s mercy for us is something for us to contemplate every day, but especially during Lent. As humans we are prone to sin, it is human nature. We can try not to, but it is hard. Lent is a time for us to examine our conscience and repent of our sins and seek forgiveness. God will forgive us, for he is merciful.

On Wednesday, February 14, some people celebrated Valentine’s Day, while most of us came to Mass to receive ashes on our foreheads - an outward sign that we are dust and to dust we will return.

During Lent, we may be tempted by the devil from time to time, it’s human nature. We may be tempted to commit certain sins, and possibly the same sins we have confessed before, but when we do we should recall what the priest or other minister said to us on Ash Wednesday as they placed ashes on our foreheads “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”

I encourage everyone to consider coming to confession during Lent as well, especially if you have not been to confession in a while. On our Parish App there is a feature titled Confession that you may find helpful. It includes a section titled “How to Guide,” another titled “Examination of Conscience” and a section titled “Act of Contrition.” In addition there is also another separate feature tiled Lent with daily reflections for Lent.

As we prepare together to celebrate these 40 days, may the Lord transform your life and forgive you for all of your sins. En nuestra primera lectura de Génesis 9, escuchamos la historia del pacto que Dios hace con Noé y su familia. Dios nos promete a ellos y a nosotros que “nunca más las criaturas serán destruidas por las aguas de un diluvio”. También dijo: “Puse mi arco iris en las nubes para que serva como una señal del pacto entre la tierra y yo”. Cada vez que vemos un hermoso arco iris en el cielo, debemos recordar ese pacto, esa promesa. Cada vez también debemos recordar la infinita misericordia del Señor. La misericordia de nuestro Señor para nosotros es algo que debemos contemplar todos los días, pero especialmente durante la Cuaresma. Como humanos, somos propensos al pecado, es la naturaleza humana. Podemos intentar no hacerlo, pero es difícil. La Cuaresma es un tiempo para que examinemos nuestra conciencia y nos arrepintamos de nuestros pecados y busquemos el perdón. Dios nos perdonará, porque es misericordioso. El miércoles, 14 de febrero, algunas personas celebraron el Día de San Valentín, mientras que la mayoría de nosotros fuimos a Misa para recibir cenizas en nuestras frentes, una señal externa de que somos polvo y que al polvo volveremos. Durante la Cuaresma, podemos ser tentados por el diablo de vez en cuando, es la naturaleza humana. Podemos sentirnos tentados a cometer ciertos pecados, y posiblemente los mismos pecados que hemos confesado antes, pero cuando lo hagamos debemos recordar lo que el sacerdote u otro ministro nos dijo el Miércoles de Ceniza cuando nos pusieron cenizas en la frente “Arrepentíos, y creed en el Evangelio”. Animo a todos a que también consideren confesarse durante la Cuaresma, especialmente si hace tiempo que no se han confesado. En nuestra aplicación parroquial hay una función titulada Confesión que puede ser útil. Incluye una sección titulada “Cómo guiar”, otra titulada “Examen de conciencia” y una sección titulada “Acto de Contrición”. Además, también hay otra característica separada de Cuaresma con reflejos diarios para la Cuaresma. Mientras nos preparamos para celebrar estos 40 días, que el Señor transforme tu vida y te perdone por todos tus pecados.
