Reflections ~ Reflexiones

PPrriicceelleessss:: A well-known priest started off a parish mission holding up a hundred-dollar bill. He asked, "Who would like this hundred-dollar bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "Let me do this." He crumpled the bill up and asked, "Who wants it now?" More hands were in the air. "Well, what if I do this?" and he dropped it and ground it into the floor with

his shoe. He picked up the creased and dirty bill. "Anyone still want it?" All hands were raised. "My friends, you have learned a valuable lesson. This bill is still worth one hundred dollars. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may think we are worthless. But you will never lose your value in God's eyes. Whether you are dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to God." Copyright (c) 2010, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. Living Stewardship Now: "A man turning from an evil life is bound to be rendered desperate by the knowledge of his sins, if he does not know how good God is, how kind and gentle, and how ready to forgive." --Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)Copyright (c) 2010, World Library Publications.

Invaluable: Un sacerdote renombrado empezó una misión parroquial enseñándole a la gente un billete de cien dólares y preguntándoles: "¿A quién le gustaría tener este billete de cien dólares?" Las manos comenzaron a levantarse. Entonces dijo: "Permítanme hacer esto". Y estrujó el billete y preguntó: "¿Quién lo quiere ahora?" Más manos

levantadas. "Bueno, ¿y si hago esto?" Tiró el billete al suelo y comenzó a machacarlo contra el piso con su zapato. Y después recogió el billete arrugado y sucio. "¿Alguien lo quiere todavía?" Todas las manos se alzaron. "Amigos míos, ustedes han aprendido una lección invaluable. Este billete aún conserva su valor de cien dólares. Muchas veces por diferentes circunstancias de la vida, ya sea por decisiones propias o ajenas, nos caemos, nos estrujan, nos machacan y hasta pudiéramos lucir sucios. Podríamos pensar que carecemos de valor. Pero tú nunca perderás tu valor ante Dios. Ya estés sucio o limpio, caído o de pie, a los ojos de Dios tú vales mucho". (c) 2010, World Library Publications.

LLaa CCoorrrreessppoonnssaabbiilliiddaadd VViivviiddaa AAhhoorraa:: El pecador que se arrepiente de su vida pecaminosa pudiera desesperarse al reconocer la multitud de sus pecados, si no conoce cuán bueno es Dios, cuán misericordioso, compasivo y siempre dispuesto a perdonar". --San Bernardo de Claraval (1090-1153) (c) 2010, World Library Publications.

GGOOSSPPEELL JJOOHHNN 44:: 55--4422 oorr 55--1155,, 1199--2266,, 3399,, 4400--4422 In this wonderful story from John's Gospel, Jesus gives the Samaritan woman at the well the "living water" of truth. A foreigner, she is hospitable to Jesus and honest with him. In return, he chooses to reveal to her the truth about his identity. The woman rushes off to tell everyone the good news that the Messiah has come. And she is so convincing that the Samaritans come to believe in Jesus on her word.

1.) The living water reminds us again of Baptism. The living waters are the fountains of eternal life within us. We are reminded of this at funerals. At the door of the church, the priest sprinkles holy water on the coffin and says, "In the waters of Baptism, N.(name) died with Christ and rose with him to new life. May he/she now share with him eternal glory." How does holy water remind you of Baptism? When do you use holy water?

GGOOSSPPEELL JJUUAANN 44:: 55--4422 oorr 55--1155,, 1199--2266,, 3399,, 4400--4422 En esta maravillosa historia tomada del Evangelio de Juan, Jesús da a la mujer samaritana en el pozo el "agua viva" de la verdad. Es una extranjera y da hospitalidad a Jesús y es honesta con él. En cambio, él escoge revelarle su verdadera identidad. La mujer corre a decir a todo el mundo la buena nueva de que el Mesías ha llegado. Ella está convencida que los samaritanos creyeron en Jesús por su palabra. 1.) Muchas personas buscan y tienen "sed de" las respuestas correctas a las preguntas de la vida. ¿Compartirás con ellos el "agua viva" de la verdad que has recibido de Jesús? ¿Cómo?

TTrreeaassuurreess ffrroomm oouurr TTrraaddiittiioonn:: Long ago, the custom of sending some pieces of consecrated bread from the Lord’s table began to take hold. Originally it was a way of assuring the sick and imprisoned of their bonds of faith and affection with the community from whom they were separated. By the third century, at least in Rome, we have evidence that the bishop would consign some of the sacred elements to presbyters or deacons. There was a crisis in the unity of the church early on, called the quartodeciman controversy, since some people wanted to celebrate the Pasch on the fourteenth day (quartodecima) of the Jewish month Nissan, even if it didn’t fall on a Sunday. The debate so fractured the church that the historian of the era, Eusebius, reported a new development to the pope. He wrote that the churches holding to the Lord’s Day sent out consecrated bread to the disgruntled people of the quartodeciman pastors with whom they were quarreling. Meanwhile, bishops complained about people taking the Eucharist home. St. Cyprian told a cautionary tale of a sinful woman who tried to open the “casket” containing the consecrated bread in her home. She was deterred from receiving, he said, by flames erupting from the box. Clearly, he wanted people to think twice before bringing Communion home! The Council of Nicaea defined the “old rule of the church” as allowing for reserving the eucharistic bread for the sake of the dying. The same council could foresee circumstances of persecution when people might have the Eucharist on hand to administer to one another in a time of great danger, literally, at the point of a sword. The first and enduring purpose for reserving the Eucharist is viaticum for the dying. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

FFrriieennddllyy rreemmiinnddeerr ttoo aallll PPaarriisshh GGrroouupp LLeeaaddeerrss:: Please note that during Holy Week there will be NO MEETINGS . Please re-schedule all meetings after Sunday, April 16th, 2017. If you have any questions please call the Parish Office.

MMaarrkk YYoouurr CCaalleennddaarr:: Please mark your calendars for our next Mercy Night on April 7th from 7-10 pm. As like before, the evening will consist of adoration, contemplative music, and opportunities for the sacrament of confession. Please feel free to come by for only ten minutes or to spend the whole time with the Lord. TThhiirrssttiinngg FFoorr LLiiffee-- GGiivviinngg WWaatteerrss:: Especially during the Lenten, Holy Week, and Easter seasons, the prayer texts of the Eastern Church revel in paradoxical images of Christ: the eternal life who is put to death, the host of the supper who is also its meal, the thirsty crucified one with living water streaming from his side. These images flow from the evangelists’ portrayals of Jesus and from his very ministry, during which he often upset or reversed people’s expectations about him or the ways of God. This “reversal” is at play in today’s Gospel, as Jesus speaks to an enemy foreigner who is also a woman beneath his status. In addition he, the thirsting one, shows the woman to be the one truly thirsting. He—whose parched lips will say “I thirst” before he dies—is the source of life and life-giving water. Lent calls upon us to dwell on how each of us is thirsting for Christ, and it leads us, ultimately, back to the life-giving waters of our baptism into his Body. copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Notícías de Epífanía Taza de Arroz: Por favor ayudemos a los Servicios Católicos de Alivio (Catholic Relief Services) durante esta Cuaresma. Colaboremos obteniendo una de las “tazas de arroz” que se encuentran en el vestíbulo de la iglesia. Tradicionalmente dejamos de comprar o consumir algo durante la Cuaresma. Al dejar de hacerlo, podemos depositar en la “taza de arroz” el dinero que se haya ahorrado. Este ayudará a nuestros hermanos de todo el mundo: los hambrientos, y los que necesitan asistencia concreta y apoyo. Puede hacer su donación escribiendo un cheque a nombre de Catholic Relief Services, Rice Bowl. Tráigalo a la oficina parroquial antes del Domingo de Ramos. Sedientod De Las Aguas Que Dan Vida Especialmente durante la Cuaresma, la Semana Santa y el tiempo de Pascua, los textos de oración de la Iglesia Occidental se deleitan con imágenes paradójicas de Cristo: la vida eterna que muere, el anfitrión de la cena que es también alimento, el crucificado sediento del que mana agua de vida de su costado. Estas imágenes fluyen de las representaciones de Jesús por parte de los evangelistas y de su mismísimo ministerio, durante el cual muchas veces cambió o invirtió las expectativas que las personas tenían sobre él o sobre los designios de Dios. Esta “inversión” está en juego en el Evangelio de hoy, cuando Jesús habla con una extranjera enemiga que está por debajo de su condición social. Además él, el que tiene sed, demuestra que la mujer es la única que tiene sed verdadera. Él –cuyos labios secos dirán “Tengo sed” antes de morir– es la fuente de vida y del agua que da vida. La Cuaresma nos llama a reflexionar sobre cómo cada uno de nosotros tiene sed de Cristo y nos lleva, en última instancia, de vuelta a las aguas dadoras de vida de nuestro bautismo en su Cuerpo.

TTrraaddiicciioonneess ddee NNuueessttrraa FFee: Para ser cristiano en la Iglesia católica necesitas recibir los tres sacramentos de Iniciación, es decir, el Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía. Si te falta uno de estos sacramentos no estás completamente iniciado. Algunos cristianos insisten que si no estás confirmado no te puedes casar por la Iglesia, pero esto no es completamente cierto. Según las leyes de la Iglesia, los cristianos que desean contraer Matrimonio deberían buscar ser confirmados, si les es posible sin grave dificultad (Canon 1065). Todos conocemos el Bautismo y la Eucaristía, pero ¿qué es la Confirmación? El nombre lo dice todo. Con la Confirmación, confirmamos ante Dios y la Iglesia que deseamos ser cristianos por el resto de nuestra vida. Confirmarse es comprometerse, es entregarse al servicio de Dios ayudando al prójimo con la gracia y el poder del Espíritu Santo. Por eso es importante recibir una buena preparación. La mayoría de nosotros no tuvimos opción cuando nuestra mamá y nuestro papá nos bautizaron. Nuestros padres y padrinos dijeron sí por nosotros y, si cumplieron con su compromiso, nos enseñaron con palabras y buen ejemplo como decir sí al Evangelio de Cristo. Sea que nos hayamos bautizado como infantes o como adultos, la Confirmación nos da la oportunidad de dar un sí pleno. ¡Sí! a ese bautizo, ¡Sí! a la Iglesia y en especial ¡Sí! a Cristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

NNoo hhaabbrráá BBaauuttiizzooss:: Se les recuerda que durante los meses de Cuaresma no se programarán Bautizos. Éstos se reanudarán después del Domingo de Pascua de Resurrección. Llame a la oficina parroquial y hable con un sacerdote para más información o si está pasando por una emergencia.
