For us, Christ is everything. We begin each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ.

Rising from prayer, we minister to the needs of those who ask our help with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him! From a treatise on John by Saint Augustine, bishop The Lord tells us: I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. In these few words he gives a command and makes a promise. Let us do what he commands so that we may not blush to covet what he promises and to hear him say on the day of judgment: “I laid down certain conditions for obtaining my promises. Have you fulfilled them?” If you say: “What did you command, Lord our God?” he will tell you: “I commanded you to follow me. You asked for advice on how to enter into life. What life, if not the life about which it is written: With you is the fountain of life?” Let us do now what he commands. Let us follow in the footsteps of the Lord. Let us throw off the chains that prevent us from following him. Who can throw off these shackles without the aid of the one addressed in these words: You have broken my chains? Another psalm says of him: The Lord frees those in chains, the Lord raises up the downcast. Those who have been freed and raised up follow the light. The light they follow speaks to them: I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness. The Lord gives light to the blind. Brethren, that light shines on us now, for we have had our eyes anointed with the eye- salve of faith. His saliva was mixed with earth to anoint the man born blind. We are of Adam’s stock, blind from our birth; we need him to give us light. He mixed saliva with earth, and so it was prophesied: Truth has sprung up from the earth. He himself has said: I am the way, the truth and the life. We shall be in possession of the truth when we see face to face. This is his promise to us. Who would dare to hope for something that God in his goodness did not choose to promise or bestow? (Continued on page 3) Christ is the way to the light, the truth and the life

From a treatise on John by Saint Augustine, bishop
The Lord tells us: I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. In these few words he gives a command and makes a promise. Let us do what he commands so that we may not blush to covet what he promises and to hear him say on the day of judgment: “I laid down certain conditions for obtaining my promises. Have you fulfilled them?” If you say: “What did you command, Lord our God?” he will tell you: “I commanded you to follow me. You asked for advice on how to enter into life. What life, if not the life about which it is written: With you is the fountain of life?” Let us do now what he commands. Let us follow in the footsteps of the Lord. Let us throw off the chains that prevent us from following him. Who can throw off these shackles without the aid of the one addressed in these words: You have broken my chains? Another psalm says of him: The Lord frees those in chains, the Lord raises up the downcast. Those who have been freed and raised up follow the light. The light they follow speaks to them: I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness. The Lord gives light to the blind. Brethren, that light shines on us now, for we have had our eyes anointed with the eye-salve of faith. His saliva was mixed with earth to anoint the man born blind.

He himself has said: I am the way, the truth and the life. We shall be in possession of the truth when we see face to face. This is his promise to us. Who would dare to hope for something that God in his goodness did not choose to promise or bestow?

We shall see face to face. The Apostle says: Now I know in part, now obscurely through a mirror, but then face to face. John the Apostle says in one of his letters: Dearly beloved, we are now children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. We know that when he is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. This is a great promise.
If you love me, follow me. “I do love you,” you protest, “but how do I follow you?” If the Lord your God said to you: “I am the truth and the life,” in your desire for truth, in your love for life, you would certainly ask him to show you the way to reach them. You would say to yourself: “Truth is a great reality, life is a great reality; if only it were possible for my soul to find them!”

Igreja de Santo Eduardo 30 de Março, 2014 Missa Domingo IV Da Quaresma
BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS MISSA DOMINGO IV DA QUARESMA Comentário: Jesus vê um cego de nascença e decide curá-lo por iniciativa própria, ninguém lhe pede para fazê-lo. Mas os discípulos ficam refletindo uma ideia muito difundida (não só no mundo daquele tempo, mas forte ainda hoje) segundo a qual toda doença é castigo de Deus pelo pecado. Assim, eles perguntam a Jesus se a causa da cegueira do mendigo foram os pecados dele ou dos seus pais. Jesus desmente categoricamente aquela convicção: “Nem ele nem os seus pais pecaram”; a cegueira do mendigo, como qualquer outra enfermidade, não depende sempre de específicas culpas de alguém nem de Deus, que não é vingativo, mas aquele homem assim nasceu para que as obras de Deus se manifestem nele. Jesus cura o cego. E os olhos que ele curou para ver o sol, abrem-se gradativamente para ver aquele que lhe curou. O milagre suscita uma discussão entre os presentes e conhecidos. Há uma tentativa de afastar a verdade. Duvidam da identidade do homem curado: “não é ele, mas alguém parecido com ele”. Porém, o ex-cego afirma sua identidade “sou eu mesmo!”, ainda que não saiba dizer nada sobre Jesus nem sobre onde eles possam encontrá-lo. Em seguida, ao encontrar os fariseus, estes se escandalizam e sustentam que, tendo feito Jesus o milagre em dia de sábado quando é proibido qualquer trabalho, era um pecador: portanto, devia ser evitado; mas à inconfundível consideração do curado, surge uma divergência entre eles, pois ficam se perguntando como é possível um pecador fazer tal sinal? Os fariseus se interessam normalmente só com o “como” Jesus fez isso (dia de sábado), de onde concluíam que ele era um pecador. O fato da cura em si não tinha nenhum significado para eles. Mas depois de terem colocado todos os pretextos e tentado subornar a família do cego que arriscava ficar toda ela expulsa da comunidade, ficava agora obrigatória tomar uma posição com relação à pessoa de Jesus. Aí é onde entra a inconformidade do curado com os fariseus. Pois ele é consciente da relação perfeita que há entre Jesus e Deus. “Se ele é pecador, não sei. Só sei que eu era cego e agora vejo”. “Sabemos que Deus não escuta os pecadores, mas escuta aquele que é piedoso e que faz a sua vontade”. Para o cego curado, a cura torna-se verdadeiramente um sinal que o leva a reconhecer o vínculo entre Deus e Jesus. Os fariseus continuaram resistindo em não querer enxergar e endureceram o coração, expulsando o homem da comunidade. É triste! Não há pior cego que o que não quer ver; e a cegueira espiritual é pior que a física, onde diante da evidência alguém permanece emperrado nos próprios preconceitos, fechando os olhos para a realidade. O episódio se conclui com a revelação do significado profundo do prodígio. Encontrando de novo o homem curado, agora expulso da comunidade, Jesus o convida a

valer-se da vista recuperada para reconhecê-lo: “você acredita no Filho do Homem?” “E quem é? para que creia nele”? “Tu o estás vendo, é aquele que está falando contigo”. Como com a samaritana do domingo passado, tudo caminha para a mesmo finalidade. A luz dos olhos é metáfora da luz da alma. O cego de nascença é cada homem, cada mulher, incapaz de sozinho ver a luz divina, e, que, portanto deixa-se guiar por ela, com as consequências, pessoais, e coletivas, das quais todos somos testemunhas; e se quisermos permanecer cegos, fazendo descaso da luz de Deus, quantos desastres, derrotas, tragédias, amarguras, teremos pela frente! Para evitá-las na sua bondade Deus nos fez dom da sua luz, para que possamos ver a estrada justa no caminho desta vida, a estrada que tem como meta ele, luz do mundo. Como diz Bento XVI: “o domingo do cego de nascença apresenta Cristo como luz do mundo. O Evangelho interpela cada um de nós: «Tu crês no Filho do Homem?». «Creio, Senhor» (Jo 9, 35.38), afirma com alegria o cego de nascença, fazendo-se voz de todos os crentes. O milagre da cura é o sinal que Cristo, juntamente com a vista, quer abrir o nosso olhar interior, para que a nossa fé se torne cada vez mais profunda e possamos reconhecer n’Ele o nosso único Salvador. Ele ilumina todas as obscuridades da vida e leva o homem a viver como «filho da luz». – Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento
