2/Third Sunday of Lent

Third Sunday of Lent w March 18th - 19th, 2017Exodus 17:3-7 w Romans 5:1-2, 5-8 w John 4:5-42

Dear Parishioners,This Friday, March 24th, we commemorate the martyrdom of

Oscar Romero. His assassination in 1980 during massive political unrest in El Salvador shocked the world and highlighted the hor-ror of the exploitation of the poor masses by a rich and ruling few.

Perhaps some of you have seen the stirring 1989 movie, Rome-ro, based on the last three years of this saintly archbishop’s life. The movie ends with this poignant statement flashed on the screen: "He had spoken the disturbing truth. Many chose not to listen ... the struggle for peace and freedom, justice and dignity goes on."

Such struggles we know continue even in our own country today as we try to speak what has seemingly become a disturbing truth for some of our fellow citizens, namely, that our Judeo-Christian tradition demands without question that we welcome immigrants and refugees, showing compassion and love towards them: “you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were for-eigners in Egypt” [Dt. 10:19] and “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me” [Mt. 25:40].

There are many other demanding truths of our tradition. On Saturday, March 25th, the solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, we are reminded of still one more. On this day, exactly 9 months before Christmas, we recall Mary’s “fiat,” her “yes” to the conception of our Savior. The incarnation therefore demands our unrelenting and rigorous defense of the lives of the unborn. This in turn reminds us that we must stand up for all human life from womb to tomb, that we support unwed mothers and defend the victims of domestic violence.

As we continue our Lenten journey, perhaps we might pray the “Angelus” for the dignity of all human life, petitioning together: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord.

I am sure you will agree how fitting this closing prayer of the “Angelus” truly is during this Lenten season when the Church looks forward to again celebrating the Pascal Mysteries. Post-Eas-ter, when tradition calls us to then pray the “Regina Coeli,” may we still continue our petitions for the dignity of all human life, yet now with the prayer: O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; grant we be-seech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

We surely desire everlasting life for all. May we together give our welcome of the foretaste of everlasting life here on earth to the unborn, the mother, the father, the infant, the child, the elderly, the immigrant, the refugee…

With hope in our God who never disappoints,Fr. Joe

Queridos Feligreses:Este viernes, 24 de marzo, conmemoramos el martirio de Oscar

Romero. Su asesinato, en 1980, durante disturbios políticos ma-sivos en El Salvador conmovió al mundo y resaltó el horror de la explotación de las masas pobres por una minoría gobernante rica.

Tal vez algunos de ustedes habrán visto la inspiradora película de 1989, Romero, basada en los tres últimos años de la vida san-ta de este arzobispo. La película termina con una conmovedora declaración que destella en la pantalla: “Ha dicho una verdad per-turbadora. Muchos escogieron no escucharla…la lucha por la paz y la libertad, la justicia y la dignidad continúa.”

Sabemos que dichas luchas continúan aún en nuestro propio país, cuando intentamos hablar sobre lo que aparentemente se ha convertido en una verdad perturbadora para algunos de nuestros ciudadanos; a saber, lo que nuestra tradición judeo-cristiana ex-ige sin duda es acoger a los inmigrantes y refugiados, mostrán-doles compasión y amor: “has de amar a los que son extranjeros, porque ustedes mismos fueron extranjeros en Egipto” [Dt. 10, 19] y “Amén, les digo: cuando lo hicieron con alguno de los más pequeños de mis hermanos, me lo hicieron a mí.” [Mt. 25, 40].

Hay muchas otras verdades exigentes de nuestra tradición. El sábado 25 de marzo, en la solemnidad de la Anunciación del Señor, se nos recuerda una más. En ese día, nueve meses antes de la Navidad, recordamos el “fiat” de María, su “sí” a la concepción de nuestro Salvador. La Encarnación, por lo tanto, exige nuestra implacable y rigurosa defensa de las vidas de los nonatos. A su vez, nos recuerda que debemos ponernos del lado de toda vida huma-na, desde el vientre hasta la tumba, apoyando a las madres solteras y defendiendo a las víctimas de la violencia doméstica.

Al continuar nuestro viaje cuaresmal, tal vez podríamos rezar el “Angelus” por la dignidad de toda la vida humana, pidiendo juntos: Te suplicamos, Señor, que derrames tu gracia en nuestras almas para que los que, por el anuncio del Ángel, hemos conocido la encarnación de tu Hijo Jesucristo, por su Pasión y Cruz seamos llevados a la gloria de su Resurrección. Por el mismo Jesucristo Nuestro Señor.

Estoy seguro que ustedes estarán de acuerdo de lo verdadera-mente adecuada que es la oración final del “Angelus” durante esta época de Cuaresma, cuando la Iglesia espera celebrar de nuevo los Misterios Pascuales. Después de la Pascua, cuando la tradición nos llama entonces a rezar el “Regina Coeli,” espero que poda-mos todavía continuar nuestras plegarias por la vida humana, con la oración: Oh Dios que por la resurrección de tu Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo, te has dignado dar la alegría al mundo, concéde-nos que por su Madre, la Virgen María, alcancemos el gozo de la vida eterna. Por el mismo Jesucristo Nuestro Señor. Amén

Verdaderamente deseamos la vida eterna para todos. Acojamos juntos en el adelanto de la vida eterna aquí en la tierra al nonato, a la madre, al padre, al bebé, al niño, al anciano, al inmigrante, al refugiado…

Con esperanza en nuestro Dios, quien nunca decepciona:P. Joe

CRS Rice Bowl Week Three: El SalvadorFernando: Fernando dreams of becoming a businessman. He also dreams of a better future for his family, and this has motivated him to sell cookbooks on the bus. It was his dreams that led him to YouthBuild, a six-month, CRS-sponsored program that trains young people in business. There, he found a positive community to help him pursue his passion, despite the challenges of life in El Salvador. Training for six months with YouthBuild wasn’t easy on Fernando or his

family. “YouthBuild is a family because families help you realize your dreams,” Fernando says. After graduating from YouthBuild in 2016, he took part in a series of entrepreneur workshops organized by CRS and is currently working on a new business plan. He is also a part of the YouthBuild network of graduates, youth leaders who mentor other young people and look for new opportunities for employment and growth. CRS Rice Bowls, with a Lent calendar tucked inside, are available on the Outreach table and on the table in the Lannon Chapel.
