Contrary to what is often believed: in sin we lose ourselves. This is a truth opposite what is often said or implied by the worldly and well-meaning. In sin, it’s often said, we find ourselves, discover who we “really” are, what we like to call our “identity.” So often we make sin the substance of who we are, because, of course, pride’s underneath it. It is the world’s trick, its false glamour. Scripture, however, says exactly the opposite. In sin and by sin, we lose ourselves; we don’t find ourselves. By sin we lose our very being. It is what the prodigal son is getting at when he says to his father, “I no longer deserve to be called your son” (Lk. 15:21). He realized what he’d lost by sin, and that’s his very self. It’s why his coming home, his repentance, was such a desperate act—because it was a question of life or death, existence or non-existence. Which highlight’s the power of God’s mercy. By the father’s mercy not only was the son forgiven, he was given his life back. He wasn’t a son; he had lost his identity, his being. Yet by the father’s mercy, he became a son again; he was reborn. Here we see the moral point of the resurrection. Here we see what Paul meant when he wrote, “Whoever is in Christ is a new creation” (2 Cor. 5:17). It is what’s on oPer in the Gospel: the redemption of the self, contrary to the idolatry of self. One leads to genuine personal fulfillment, the other to emptiness. It is the choice of our age that’s to be made. This is the deeper invitation of Christianity. It’s yours if you want it. You just need to believe God instead of the world, even instead of yourself.
Have a blessed week! Praying for you!
pax,
Fr. Joshua

LENT GUIDELINESLENT GUIDELINESLENT GUIDELINESLENT GUIDELINES The annual observance of Lent is the special season for the ascent to the holy mountain of Easter. Through its twofold theme of repentance and baptism, the season of Lent disposes both the catechumens and the faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery. Catechumens are led to the sacraments of initiation by means of the Rite of Election, the Scrutinies, and catechesis. The faithful, listening more intently to the word of God and devoting themselves to prayer, are prepared through a spirit of repentance to renew their baptismal promises. (Ceremonial of Bishops, 249). ��FastingFastingFastingFasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and
older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, suZcient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed.
��AbstinenceAbstinenceAbstinenceAbstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously aPected, the law does not oblige.
��Ash Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019 and Good FridayGood FridayGood FridayGood Friday, April 19, 2019 are days of fast and abstinence. All the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
��Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter.

“Psalms: The School of Prayer” begins April 7. While the historical books of Scripture recount God's redemptive acts in history, the Psalms tell the "inside" story--the deeply personal perspective of one who is seeking God.

Contrario a lo que a menudo se cree: en el pecado nos perdemos nosotros mismos. Esta es una verdad opuesta a lo que a menudo se dice o se implica por lo mundano y bien intencionado. En el pecado, a menudo se dice, nos encontramos a nosotros mismos, descubrimos quién “realmente” somos, lo que llamamos nuestra "identidad". Muy a menudo, hacemos del pecado la sustancia de lo que somos, porque, por supuesto, el orgullo está de por medio. Es el truco del mundo, su falso glamour. La Escritura, sin embargo, dice exactamente lo contrario. En el pecado y por el pecado, nos perdemos a nosotros mismos; nosotros no nos encontramos por sí mismos. Por el pecado perdemos nuestro propio ser. Es a lo que se refiere el hijo pródigo cuando le dice a su padre: "Ya no merezco llamarme hijo tuyo" (Lucas 15:21). Se dio cuenta de lo que había perdido por el pecado, y lo que perdió es su propio ser. Es por eso que su regreso a casa, su arrepentimiento, fue un acto tan desesperado, porque era una cuestión de vida o muerte, existir o no existir. Lo que se resalta es el poder de la misericordia de Dios. Por la misericordia del padre el hijo no solo fue perdonado, sino que también le fue devuelta su vida. El no era un hijo; había perdido su identidad, su ser. Sin embargo, por la misericordia del padre, volvió a ser hijo; volvió a nacer. Aquí vemos el punto moral de la resurrección. Aquí vemos lo que San Pablo quiso decir cuando escribió: “El que está en Cristo es una nueva creación” (2 Co. 5:17). Es lo que se ofrece en el Evangelio: la redención del yo, contrario a la idolatría del yo. Uno nos conduce a la genuina realización personal, el otro al vacío. Es la elección de nuestros tiempos que ha de hacerse. Esta es la invitación más profunda del cristianismo. Es tuya si la quieres. Solo necesitas creerle a Dios en lugar de creer al mundo, incluso a ti mismo. ¡Que tengan una semana bendecida! ¡Rezando por ustedes! paz,
Padre Joshua

La doble disciplina del ayuno y la abstinencia tiene una larga historia en la Iglesia católica. Nos remontamos a la Iglesia primitiva para darnos cuenta que el propósito detrás de esta costumbre de negarse a uno mismo no es por castigo; es más bien para simplificar nuestro estilo de vida, de manera que podamos crear un cierto vacío a fin de que, libres de todas las distracciones, podamos escuchar el continuo llamado de Dios a la conversión y la santidad y de esta manera responderle.
��El ayuno ayuno ayuno ayuno es obligatorio el Viernes Santo para todos los católicos entre los 18 y los 59 años de edad. En los días de ayuno se permite una sola comida completa.
