PLEASE JOIN US!!

ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS March1, 2020 To: Clergy, Religious, and Laity in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Dear Sister and Brothers in Christ, As we enter into this Lenten Season, God calls us to an honest, grace-filled assessment of our weakness and sins. The Church’s call to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving brings us to a conversion of heart and unites us to the love of Christ. I sincerely pray that your Lenten journey will be one that leads you to newness of life and blessings for you and your family. With the technological advances in our culture and a growing awareness of the dangers that come with this, we as a Church are called to protect and promote unity and the need for strong relationships with-in the family. When a family is truly connected the are more aware of the ways in which their children and grandchildren are struggling, especially in regards to the effects of exposure to dangerous content online. This first Sunday of Lent, we in the Archdiocese of New Orleans invite all parents, parishes, schools, and all organizations to learn more about this common struggle and how we can protect and provide healing for our loved ones, especially our children. Your parish has new resources to help you understand and confidently, address this issue and act with God’s love and mercy toward those in your homes and organizations. May Lent be a blessing for you and your family and a renewed experience of God’s mercy. Know that you will be remembered in my prayers, ands please remember me in yours. Wishing you God’s blessings, I am Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond Archbishop of New Orleans

Queridas hermanas y hermanos en Cristo:

Al entrar en esta temporada de Cuaresma, Dios nos llama a una evaluación honesta y llena de gracia, de nuestras debilidades y pecados.

Cuando una familia está realmente conectada, esta más consciente de las formas en que luchan sus hijos y nietos, especialmente, en lo que respecta a los efectos de la ex-posición a contenido peligroso en línea. Este primer domingo de Cuaresma, en la Arquidiócesis de Nueva Orleans, invitamos a todos los padres, parroquias, escuelas y a todas las organizacionea a apren-der más sobre esta lucha común y como podemos proteger y proporcionar sanción a nuestros seres queridos, especialmente a nuestros hijos.

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF

CATHERINE CAMPI

GOD’S BELOVED When the people of Israel were freed from Egypt, they were declared to be God’s chosen and beloved people. They wandered in the desert for forty years, often with

great resistance, as God prepared them to enter the Promised Land.

Jesus’ forty days in the desert echoes their story, and offer a contrast. At his baptism, just before being led into the desert by the Spirit, Jesus was declared by a

voice from the heavens to be God’s “beloved Son.” So, twice in today’s passage, he is lured with the words “If

you are the Son of God . . .” The devil tempts Jesus to re-define his sonship of God on his own terms, instead of following his Father. Israel had failed to understand its identity as God’s people, but Jesus demonstrates how to

live as God’s Beloved. These contrasting stories of Israel and of Jesus present us with a challenge. We are regularly tempted to rede-

fine our identity as Christians on our own terms, to make faith comfortable and non-threatening. This Len-ten season can re-mind us to allow God to transform our

minds and hearts on God’s terms

BEING LIKE GOD The story of Adam and Eve, in Genesis 2 and 3, con-siders the origins of the trials and sufferings that we

experience in human life. Part of the problem, the sto-ry suggests, is the human effort to be like God. Hu-

mans are therefore forbidden to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The story is quite a con-

trast from Genesis 1, which proclaims that we are made in the image and likeness of God, and called to seek to become more like God. This creates a tension that points to a challenge in our life of faith: we are

created both to embody God by developing our God-given human capacities, and also to live in radical

trust and dependence on God. We are called to em-brace and to live into this tension.

ORACIÓN El valor de la oración perseverante no es que Dios nos vaya a escuchar, sino que nosotros

escucharemos a Dios. —William McGill

LOS AMADOS DE DIOS Cuando el pueblo de Israel fue liberado de Egipto,

fueron proclamados ser los elegidos por Dios y pueblo amado. Durante cuarenta años deambularon en el

desierto, frecuentemente con gran resistencia, y Dios los preparó para entrar a la Tierra Prometida.

Los cuarenta días de Jesús en el desierto refleja esta his-toria, y ofrece un contraste. En su bautismo, justo antes

de ser guiado al desierto por el Espíritu, Jesús fue declarado por una voz del cielo ser el “Hijo amado” de

Dios. Así que dos veces en el pasaje de hoy, él es tentado con las palabras “Sí eres el Hijo de Dios . . .” El diablo tienta a Jesús para redefinir su filiación de Dios en sus propios términos, en lugar de seguir a su Padre. Israel falló en entender su identidad como el pueblo de Dios,

pero Jesús demuestra cómo vivir como el amado de Dios. Estas historias contrastantes de Israel y de Jesús nos

presenta un reto. Regularmente estamos tentados a rede-finir nuestra identidad como cristianos en nuestros pro-pios términos, para hacer a la fe confortable y no ame-

nazante. Este tiempo de Cuaresma podemos recordarnos permitir que Dios transforme nuestras mentes y

corazones en los términos de Dios.

SIENDO COMO DIOS La historia de Adán y Eva, en el libro del Génesis 2

y 3, es considerada como el origen del juicio y sufrimiento que experimentamos en la vida humana. Parte del problema, sugiere la historia, es el esfuerzo

humano por ser como Dios. Por lo tanto, a los humanos se les prohíbe comer del árbol del

conocimiento del bien y del mal. La historia es absolu-tamente un contraste de Génesis 1, donde se proclama

que somos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios, y llamados a buscar hacernos más como Dios. Esto crea una tensión que se dirige a un reto en nuestra vida de fe: somos creados tanto para encarnar a Dios desar-rollando nuestras capacidades humanas dadas por Dios, y también para vivir una confianza radical y

dependencia en Dios. Estamos llamados a aceptar y vivir en esta tensión

PRAYER The value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will finally hear God.
