Fifth Sunday of Lent, March 13, 2016
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
Reminding us of God’s readiness to forgive sin and to restore people to His friendship, today’s readings challenge us to show the same MERCY to the sinners around us and to live as forgiven people, actively seeking reconciliation. The central theme of all three readings is a merciful God’s steadfast love. The readings remind us that we should not be self-righteous and condemn the lives of others when God is calling them tenderly to conversion. Explaining how a merciful God forgives the sins of His chosen people and leads them back from the Babylonian exile, the First Reading reminds us that we too are forgiven, and we are saved from our own sinfulness. In the Second Reading, Paul presents himself as a forgiven sinner who has been completely transformed by his Faith in Christ Jesus. His life is an example of the Gospel exhortation, “Sin no more.” Paul loves Christ so much he wants to share in His sufferings and even in His death so that he may share Christ’s Resurrection. The sinful woman’s story of sin committed and sin forgiven in today’s Gospel shows the inexhaustible mercy and compassion Jesus gives repentant sinners. In addition, by making sinlessness the con-dition for throwing the first stone, Jesus forces the accusers to assess their own souls and to leave. Thus, He grants jus-tice to the accusers and mercy to the sinful woman. In our own lives, we bear witness to the Justice of God by confess-ing our sinfulness and determining to avoid sin, and we bear witness to God’s Mercy by accepting the forgiveness of our sins and determining to forgive those who have offended us. The message for us to reflect on this week is that we need to become forgiving people, ready for reconciliation – Jesus has shown inexhaustible mercy and compassion to sinners by dying for our sins. But we are often self-righteous, like the Pharisees, and ready to spread scandal about others with a bit of spicy gossip. We are judgmental about the unmarried mother, the alcoholic, the drug addict and the shop-lifter, ignoring Jesus’ command: “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Let us learn to acknowledge our sins, ask God’s forgiveness every day, and extend the same forgiveness to our erring brothers and sisters. We need to learn to hate the sin but love the sinners, showing them mercy, compassion, sympathy and accep-tance, leading them to noble ways by our own exemplary lives.
Congratulations to our Decathletes! Please read the back page of this bulletin. We have one more Penance Service at 7:00 pm, this Wednesday, in English and Spanish. Please come to reconcile ourselves with God and with one another. Fr. Bao

EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY www.rcbo.org/year-of-mercy/ or www.im.va/content/gdm/en.html
Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for the Celebration of the XLIX World Day Of Peace - 1 January 2016
Continuation from last week…
Abel’s blood had immense value in his eyes, and he asked Cain to give an account of it. At the origin of the human race, God shows himself to be involved in man’s destiny. Later, when the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt, God once more intervened to tell Moses: “I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey” (Ex 3:7-8). We should note the verbs which describe God’s intervention: he sees, hears, knows, comes down and delivers. God does not remain indifferent. He is attentive and he acts.
In Jesus his Son, God has come down among us. He took flesh and showed his solidarity with humanity in all things but sin. Jesus identified with us: he became “the first-born among many brethren” (Rom 8:29). He was not content merely to teach the crowds, but he was concerned for their welfare, especially when he saw them hungry (cf Mk 6:34-44) or without work (cf. Mt 20:3). He was con-cerned not only for men and women, but also for the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, plants and trees, all things great and small. He saw and embraced all of creation. But he did more than just see; he touched people’s lives, he spoke to them, helped them and showed kindness to those in need. Not only this, but he felt strong emotions and he wept (cf. Jn 11:33-44). And he worked to put an end to suffering, sorrow, misery and death.
Continuation next week...

Mensaje de esta Semana ....
Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma, 13 de marzo de 2016 Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Recordando la disposición de Dios para perdonar el pecado y restaurar a la gente en su amistad, las lecturas de hoy nos retan a demostrar la misma misericordia a los pecadores que nos rodean y que vivamos como pueblo perdonado, buscando activamente la reconciliación. El tema central de las tres lecturas es el amor inquebrantable de un Dios misericordioso. Las lecturas nos recuerdan que no hay que ser autosuficiente y condenar la vida de otros cuando Dios los está llamando a la conversión con ternura. Al explicar cómo un Dios misericordioso perdona los pecados de su pueblo escogido y les lleva de vuelta del exilio de Babilonia, la primera lectura nos recuerda que nosotros también somos perdonados, y estamos a salvo de nuestra propia pecaminosidad. En la segunda lectura, Pablo se presenta a sí mismo como un pecador perdonado que ha sido completamente transformado por su fe en Cristo Jesús. Su vida es un ejemplo a la exhortación Evangelio, "no peques más." Pablo ama a Cristo tanto que quiere compartir en sus sufrimientos e incluso su muerte para poder compartir la resurrección de Cristo también. La historia de la pecadora; del pecado cometido y el pecado perdonado en el Evangelio de hoy muestran la inagotable misericordia y la compasión de Jesús a los pecadores arrepentidos. Además, al hacer retarlos a tirar la primera piedra, Jesús obliga a los acusadores a evaluar sus propias almas y cambiar. Por lo tanto, Él concede la justicia a los acusadores y merced a la mujer pecadora. En nuestras propias vidas, somos testigos de la Justicia de Dios al confesar nuestro pecado y la determinación de evitar el pecado, y somos testigos de la misericordia de Dios al aceptar el perdón de nuestros pecados y en la determinación de perdonar a los que nos han ofendido. El mensaje para reflexionar esta semana es que tenemos que perdonar a todos, estar listos para la reconciliación: Jesús ha mostrado inagotable misericordia y compasión a los pecadores al morir por nuestros pecados. Pero somos a menudo injustos, como los fariseos, y listos para hacer escándalo de otros con un poco de chisme picante. Somos crítico acerca de la madre soltera, del alcohólico, del adicto a las drogas y del que roba, haciendo caso omiso de la orden de Jesús: ". Aquel de ustedes que esté sin pecado arroje la piedra contra ella" Aprendamos a reconocer nuestros pecados, pedir el perdón de Dios todos los días y extender el mismo perdón a los hermanos y hermanas errantes. Tenemos que aprender a odiar el pecado pero amar a los pecadores, mostrándoles la misericordia, la compasión, la simpatía y aceptación, lo que lleva a mostrar nuestras propias vidas con el ejemplo. Padre Bao

Jesús, La Misericordia y Las Parábolas
Continuación de la semana pasada … Y para que Dios pueda perdonar los pecados es necesario expiarlos según la Ley. Por tanto, Jesús se apropia de un derecho divina, no humano; comete un abuso de poder. Sin embargo, precisamente este abuso desborda la distancia entre la parábola y la realidad del encuentro en casa de Simon. Con el poder de perdonar los pecados a una pecadora, Jesús se sintoniza con la manera de actuar de Dios; y lo hace porque ha reconocido la fe que la pecadora ha tenido, desde el inicio, en su poder de perdonar los pecados. Si tan pronto supo que Jesús estaba en casa de Simon, corrió a comprar un perfume caro y supero todos los obstáculos, es porque estaba respaldada por una fe inquebrantable: Jesús es capaz de perdonar los pecados, como un acreedor puede perdonar la deuda a quien le debe quinientos denarios. La fe es la única condición que Jesús pide para ser salvados; es el denominador común de sus milagros. Perdonar sus pecados a una pecadora es como sanar a un paralítico o a un ciego: en ambas situaciones es la fe la que salva, no el milagro.

CHÚNG TA PHẢI LÀM GÌ TRONG SUỐT NĂM THÁNH LÒNG THƯƠNG XÓT? Thiên Chúa dành sẵn nhiều Ân Sủng và ngạc nhiên cho mỗi người chúng ta trong Năm Thánh. Chúng ta hãy đón nhận
Ân Sủng và Lòng Thương Xót Chúa gửi đến. Chúng ta hướng về Bí Tích Hòa Giải để ăn năn đền tội và để Lòng Thương Xót Chúa thay đổi chúng ta. Chúng ta suy gẫm nhiều hơn về việc tiếp nhận Bí Tích Hòa Giải và đi xưng tội thường
xuyên hơn, mời gọi gia đình và bạn hữu cùng đi. Khi đã cảm nghiệm thâm sâu Lòng Chúa Xót Thương, đến lượt chúng ta đem Lòng Thương Xót đến với tha nhân bằng lời nói, thái độ và hành động của chúng ta. Khẩu hiệu của Năm thánh “THƯƠNG XÓT NHƯ CHÚA CHA” tỏ bày điều Giáo Hội mời gọi. Trong Năm thánh này, người Công Giáo nên thực
thi “Thương người có 14 Mối,” thương xác 7 mối và thương linh hồn 7 mối.
Lá Thư Cha Quản Xứ Chủ đề của Chúa Nhật thứ Năm Mùa Chay hôm nay nhắc nhở chúng ta về việc Thiên Chúa sẵn sàng tha thứ và nối lại tình thương đối với dân của Ngài. Các bài đọc cũng thách đố chúng ta cũng có cùng lòng thương xót đối với những người tội lỗi chung quanh chúng ta, hãy sống như người được tha thứ và thành tâm xin ơn hoà giải. Trong cuộc sống của mỗi người, chúng ta cũng hãy làm chứng cho sự Công Bình của Thiên Chúa bằng cách xưng tội lỗi chúng ta và xa lánh dịp tội, và chúng ta cũng làm chứng cho Lòng Thương Xót của Thên Chúa bằng cách chấp nhận sự tha thứ tội lỗi của Thiên Chúa và tha thứ cho những ai mà phạm tới chúng ta. Mong lắm thay!
