Stewardship Reflections “No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.” (Joshua 5:12)
Over the forty years that the Israelites journeyed through the desert, God provided them with manna to eat. As soon as they were able to enjoy the fruits of the Promised Land the manna ceased. Likewise, God’s blessings to us may change over the years but it is important to trust that God will always provide us with all that we need.
Reflexiones sobre dar generosamente "Ya no había maná para los israelitas, que ese año comieron del rendimiento de la tierra de Canaán" (Josué 5:12).
Durante los cuarenta años que los israelitas viajaron a través del desierto, Dios les proporcionó maná para comer. Tan pronto como pudieron disfrutar de los frutos de la Tierra Prometida, el maná cesó. Del mismo modo, las bendiciones de Dios para nosotros pueden cambiar a lo largo de los años, pero es importante confiar en que Dios siempre nos proporcionará todo lo que necesitamos.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today, “Laetare Sunday,” breaks the somberness of Lent for a little rejoicing, and the readings all summon us to an awareness of reconciliation. One of the best-loved stories of our tradition is today’s Gospel story of the runaway son and the prodigal father. Prodigal, of course, is an adjective meaning “spendthrift or extravagant to a degree bordering on recklessness,” and although the boy maxes out the credit cards, it is really the father who is prodigal with forgiveness.
Part of the excitement of this Laetare Sunday is rooted in the ancient catechumenate. Long ago, midway through Lent, the “elect” were focusing more and more on the gift of reconciliation accomplished for them by Christ and about to be realized in the Easter sacraments they were preparing to celebrate. In some places, the elect were even bedecked with roses on this day. A person bedecked with roses sticks out in a crowd; a person formed by the Eucharist and committed to living a life of reconciliation does, too. That’s you!
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuaresma es tiempo de reconciliación por medio del perdón. En este espíritu, el Papa san Juan Pablo II pidió perdón por pecados cometidos por la Iglesia. Uno de estos pecados es la manera como América fue cristianizada.
La relación del latino con la religión católica ha sido entre buenas intenciones y antagonismos. Gracias a Dios, ¡somos cristianos! Lamentablemente, nuestro bautizo, en la mayor parte de los casos, fue en agua bendita y sangre indígena a la vez, ya que América fue evangelizada con cruz y espada. Los pobres misioneros que con fatiga, predicaron en nuestras tierras venían acompañados por hombres poderosos en busca de riquezas.
El filósofo romano-español Séneca (siglo I) afirmaba: “la religión es algo que para la persona común es verdad, para el sabio es falso y para el poderoso es útil”. A su vez, el romano-judío Pablo de Tarso declara que en Cristo, Dios ha revelado que la persona común y necia derribará la falsedad de los sabios (1 Cor 1:18-31).
El latino creyente reconoce que su fe nació del dolor de la conquista y no niega los abusos clericales, pero confía en el Evangelio reconciliador.
