Operation Rice Bowl

CCE families are en-couraged to participate daily in Operation Rice Bowl during this Lenten Season. You will be challenge to expand your own hori-

zons as you embark on a journey of prayer, fasting, learning and giving, all with an international flavor. This is a calling of Gods mission of Mercy & Char-ity. Together, we can induce tremendous change: “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for right-eousness, for they will be satisfied”.

Donation Bowls will be handed out during the CCE class time next Saturday & Sunday.

From the Director… My Brothers and Sisters, The Beatitudes contain pictures of some of the most simple and important ideas of our faith and our attitude toward God and one another. We are not to take them and manipulate them until they are what we want. They give us a clear and concise pic-

ture of what Christ expects of us. They need to be in our everyday vision of how to live our lives and respect the lives of our brothers and sisters. If we can reflect on them regularly, we will become the Christians Christ calls us to be. These Beatitudes represent an unconventional set of values. They are not what the world teaches and are countercultural and will cause ridicule to us as we fol-low them. These teachings can help us to include those on the fringes that the Lord wants us as Christians to include in our lives which build community. We need to have a broad view of God’s Kingdom when doing His will and the Beatitudes are a measure we need to hit if we are to live our lives as God wants. The world pursues happiness in wealth, power, fame and sex, whereas the Gospel demands of us values that are essentially different. “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of Heaven.” No matter what we own or have, we are all called to recognize that every-thing we have comes from God. God will provide for all our needs. This beatitude calls us to be totally de-tached from the things of this world and to seek our true happiness in God alone. This beatitude also calls us to use our gifts, talents, resources, and the things of this world to help all those who are in need to create a better life for everyone. “Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied.” Most of us have never suffered from severe hunger or thirst, or gone without a meal or never went without water. The hunger that Jesus refers to concerns the hunger for the transcendent; the desire for God is insatiable in this life and can only be satisfied com-pletely in heaven. These Beatitudes contain the most essential aspects of Christian behavior that we need to live in order to reach Christian perfection. It is usually challenging and difficult. God alone offers us all the spiritual means that we need in order to live with conviction in our daily lives. Amen… Amen In Christ, Fr. Michael

IV DOMINGO ORDINARIO

EL CAMINO DE LA HUMILDAD

La palabra de Dios en este domingo Ordinario, nos invita a reflexionar en la humildad, Dios mira al humilde, Dios se regocija en el humilde, ¿Cómo estas en el proceso de la humildad? Es muy difícil para nosotros comprender la escuela de la humildad, ¿Qué entendemos por eso? Etim.: del latín humilitas, abajarse; de humus (tierra) Humildad: La virtud moral por la que el hombre recono-ce que de si mismo solo tiene la nada y el pecado. Todo es un don de Dios de quien todos dependemos y a quien se debe toda la gloria. El hombre humilde no aspira a la grandeza personal que el mundo admira porque ha descu-bierto que ser hijo de Dios es un valor muy superior. Va tras otros tesoros. No está en competencia. Se ve a sí mis-mo y al prójimo ante Dios. Es así libre para estimar y de-dicarse al amor y al servicio sin desviarse en juicios que no le pertenecen. En el evangelio encontramos la invitación de Jesús a vivir las bienaventuranzas, es para todos, es ahí donde esta el centro de la verdadera santidad, el camino de la perfec-ción cristiana . Esto es necesario sin ello nosotros no po-demos entrar al Reino de Dios. Por otro lado , ¿De que nos sirve presumir de tener algo? San Pablo nos muestra que Dios ha escogido lo que el

mundo tiene por necio, para humillar a los que se conside-ran algo en este mundo. Parecería que los Cristianos vivimos en un mundo al re-vés, pues la sociedad que vivimos considera el éxito, la comodidad y la vida desafanada, como el ideal, y el men-saje de Jesucristo nos presenta otro camino totalmente distinto. Es como si el Señor nos dijera: “Regocíjate en ser peque-ño como un niñito y llegaras a conocer la grandeza de tu Dios”, Este es el principio del camino en el seguir a Je-sús, aceptar que nosotros no tenemos nada, sino que todo procede de su misericordia infinita. No es posible seguir a Jesús, sin esta virtud, y para iniciar la nueva etapa que se avecina (la cuaresma) Jesús nos muestra el camino que hay que seguir para obtener la vic-toria real. Para poder alcanzar esta virtud, es preciso tener espíritu de servicio, sin el mínimo propósito de ser reconocido, es pasar desapercibido, es permitir que Dios sea glorificado en todas las cosas, y que uno permanezca en el total ano-nimato, No es fácil para nuestra cultura de hoy, pero ¿A quien estamos siguiendo? Al Jesús real, verdaderamente presente en la humildad del pan consagrado, o a la imagen de Jesús que tenemos en nuestra mente, y que no es el verdadero Señor del evangelio? Considera esto y prepara tu camino de seguimiento. Que Dios te bendiga.
