Fifth Sunday in Lent
Good Lenten People of Holy Cross, Lent invites us to examine our actions, our thoughts, our character, and our priorities with soul-searching honesty. Using the mirror of scripture, and the map of Jesus’ determined march toward Calvary, we are called to look deep inside, to discover the hidden recesses of the heart where sin can hide and multiply, and then to confess and repent of that sin before a loving and forgiving Lord. We are not called, during Lent or any other time, to spend that same energy exposing everyone else’s sins. And yet, from gossip magazines to TV headlines, from the whispers shared over coffee about the latest rumor, to the headlines in the local pa-per, we seem to be bombarded by the public display of private failures; whether those failures are moral, fi-nancial, or personal. What is this judgmental spirit that we hurl against our humiliated neighbor? Jesus loved sinners and believed there was a future on the far side of failure for those who would accept God’s grace, and be changed by it. If Jesus did not hurl stones, how dare we? When Jesus told the woman to “go, and sin no more,” where do you think she would be able to go? Where would she find a community that would welcome her, and give her a second chance? I hope she could go here, to Holy Cross Parish, don’t you? Fr. Jude Michael Gente Buena de la Cuaresma de Holy Cross, La Cuaresma nos invita a examinar nuestras acciones, nuestros pensamientos, nuestro carácter y nuestras prioridades con honestidad de búsqueda. Usando el espejo de las Escrituras y el mapa de la marcha decidida de Jesús hacia el Calvario, estamos llamados a mirar profundamente, a descubrir los rincones ocul-tos del corazón donde el pecado puede esconderse y multiplicarse, y luego confesar y arrepentirse de ese pe-cado ante un Señor que ama y perdona. No estamos llamados, durante la Cuaresma o en ningún otro momen-to, a gastar esa misma energía exponiendo los pecados de todos los demás. Y, sin embargo, desde revistas de chismes hasta titulares de televisión, desde los susurros compartidos sobre el último rumor mientras tomamos un café, hasta los titulares del periódico local, parece que estamos bombardeados por la exhibición pública de fallas privadas; Si esos fracasos son morales, financieros o personales. ¿Qué es este espíritu crítico que lanzamos contra nuestro humillado vecino? Jesús amó a los pecadores y creyó que había un futuro en el otro lado del fracaso para aquellos que aceptarían la gracia de Dios y serían cambiados por ella. Si Jesús no ar-rojó piedras, ¿cómo nos atrevemos nosotros a hacerlo? Cuando Jesús le dijo a la mujer: "Ve, y no vuelvas a pecar", ¿a dónde creen que ella podría ir? ¿Dónde encontraría una comunidad que la acogiera y le diera una segunda oportunidad? Espero que ella pudiera venir aquí, a la parroquia de Holy Cross, ¿verdad?

40 DAYS TO RAISE THE ROOF We have 11 leaks in our church roof. Consequently, our new organ has not been working, paint is peeling, drops falling on heads, and when it rains, it really pours! The good news is our Finance Council has approved the use of our savings to install a new roof which will cost $150K. In Lent, we are called to sacrifice and there really is no place like home. Both the Finance Council and Pastor’s Advisory Board are encouraging parishioners for a one-time gift to help defray the cost of the roof as part of your Lenten sacrifice. We are asking each individual or family to take an envelope and pray about this offering. Our savings will take a substantial hit; every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference! Think about denying yourself something(s) during these holy days and help us Raise the Roof! Envelopes are available in the narthex. My hope and prayer is that we will not need to touch our savings and so I leave this in God’s hands and your good and generous hearts. Will share total Easter Sunday. Fr. Jude Michael
40 DÍAS PARA MEJORAR EL TECHO Tenemos 11 goteras en el techo de nuestra parroquia. En consecuencia, nuestro nuevo órgano no ha funcionado, la pintura se está pelando, las gotas caen sobre sus cabezas y, cuando llueve, ¡realmente se vierte! La buena noticia es que nuestro Consejo de Finanzas ha aprobado el uso de nuestros ahorros para instalar un nuevo techo que costará $150 mil. Durante Cuaresma estamos llamados al sacrificio y realmente no hay lugar como el hogar. Tanto el Consejo de Finanzas como el Comité de Asesoría al Párroco están alentando a los feligreses a que hagan un donativo único para ayudar a sufragar el costo del techo como parte de su sacrificio de Cuaresma. Estamos pidiendo a cada individuo o familia que tome un sobre y ore acerca de esta ofrenda. Nuestros ahorros recibirán un golpe sustancial; ¡Cada donación, sin importar cuán grande o pequeña sea, hará una diferencia! ¡Piensa en negarte algo a ti mismo durante estos días sagrados y ayúdanos a Levantar el Techo! Los sobres están disponibles en el vestíbulo. Mi esperanza y oración es que no tengamos que tocar nuestros ahorros y, por lo tanto, dejo esto en las manos de Dios y en sus buenos y
