Estimados Feligreses:En mis casi 33 años de sacerdocio, nunca he dicho una misa
privada. Sospecho que soy algo inusual en ese sentido. Pero, ir solo a las pequeñas capillas del tamaño de un armario que son un elemento básico en las comunidades jesuitas, nunca me ha sentado bien. Porque, ¿quién va a responder cuando diga, "El Señor esté contigo"? ¿Yo? ¿No es la Misa un diálogo? Siempre sentí que al menos otra persona necesitaba estar físicamente presente: "porque donde dos o tres estén reunidos en mi nom-bre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos" (Mt. 18,20). No ofrecer una misa privada siempre me ha servido para darme cuenta concretamente de que fui ordenado no para mi propio benefi-cio espiritual, sino para ser un ministro del Pueblo de Dios. Sin ellos, no tengo ministerio.
Cuando la Arquidiócesis suspendió las Misas el 13 de marzo de-bido a nuestra actual crisis de salud, no había duda sobre si debía poner mi nombre en la hoja de registro para usar nuestra pequeña capilla del cuarto piso del tamaño del armario para mi propia misa privada.
La única pregunta que tenía fue si asistiría a la misa diaria de la co-
munidad jesuita. Disfruto y me nutro mucho. Incluso de vez en cuando puedo presidirla.
Utilizando el método de discernimiento que San Ignacio nos ha enseñado, rogué por la iluminación de Dios para descubrir razones honestas y sinceras a favor y en contra de asistir o no a la misa comunitaria. Después de sopesarlos ante Dios, mi de-cisión en buena conciencia fue ser solidario con todos ustedes, nuestros feligreses. Decidí, por lo tanto, asistir a la misa y reci-bir la santa comunión durante este tiempo sólo cuando estoy virtualmente con ustedes en una pequeña misa comunitaria.
Hay muchas razones teológicas a cada lado de esa elección. De hecho, algunos serán bastante críticos con la elección a la que llegué e incluso encontrarán la decisión escandalosa. Otros simplemente dirán, Amén.
Con esta elección no quiero hacer ninguna crítica a esos sacerdotes que han tomado una decisión diferente. Simple-mente traté de tomar esta decisión humildemente ante Dios y sólo para mí. Mi esperanza es que Dios honre esta elección y que esta acción me ayude a ser auténtico, en palabras del Papa Francisco, un pastor que huele como sus ovejas.
Anhelamos seriamente el día en el que podamos reunirnos en San Ignacio para celebrar la Eucaristía, fuente y cumbre de nuestra vida. Espero que Juntos deseemos profundamente un momento en el que nuestra comunión espiritual actual se con-vierta en comunión en el verdadero Pan de Vida y Copa de Salvación, comunión en el Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo. Oremos
Dear Parishioners,In almost 33 years of priesthood, I have never said a private
Mass. I suspect I am somewhat unusual in that regard. But, go-ing all alone into the small closet-sized chapels that are a staple in Jesuit communities has never felt quite right for me. After all, who is going to respond when I say, “The Lord be with you”? Me? Isn’t the Mass a dialogue? I always felt that at least one other person needed to be physically present: “for where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt. 18:20). Not offering a private Mass has always served, to make me realize concretely that I was ordained not for my own spiritu-al benefit, but to minister to the People of God. Without them, I have no ministry.
When the Archdiocese suspended the Masses on March 13th because of our current health crisis, there was no question about whether I should put my name on the signup sheet to use our little closet-sized fourth floor chapel for my own private Mass.
The only question I did have was whether I would attend the daily Jesuit community Mass. Whenever I am not assigned to preside at the parish, I often attend that late afternoon Mass. I enjoy and am nourished by it very much. I even occasionally get to preside at it.
Using the method of discernment St. Ignatius has taught, I begged for God’s enlightenment to discover honest and sin-cere reasons for and against whether or not to attend the com-munity Mass. After weighing these before God, my decision in good conscience was to be in solidarity with all of you, our parishioners. I decided, therefore, to attend Mass and receive holy Communion during this time only when I am virtually with you at a small communal Mass.
There are many theological reasons on each side of that choice. In fact, some will be quite critical of the side of the choice in which I landed and even find the decision scandalous. Still others will simply say, Amen.
With this choice I do not mean to imply any criticism of those priests making a different choice. I simply tried to make this decision humbly before God and only for me. My hope is that God will honor this choice and that this action will help me to be authentically, in Pope Francis’s words, a shepherd who smells like his sheep.
Together let us earnestly long for that day when we can gath-er at St. Ignatius to celebrate the Eucharist, the source and summit of our life. Together let us deeply desire a time when our current spiritual communion becomes a communion in the real Bread of Life and Cup of Salvation, a communion in

Dear Parishioners,If you are on our mailing list, you should have already re-ceived an Easter letter from me. This letter, as you might well imagine, was written, printed and ready for mailing at the post office weeks before these days in which we now find ourselves. Letters like these need a huge lead time. While the need is still there for help with the replacement of our boilers and the chiller for our air-conditioner, I certainly realize that this request seems inappropriate at best at this time. Let me apologize, therefore, if you were startled by it. The planning for these replacements is still moving forward. But know that I recognize that these are uncertain times and only hope that you might help as you are able.
In Christ,Fr. Joe

CRS Rice Bowl - Dreams for Tomorrow“I want to be a doctor to help poor patients,” says Trinh. She knows that if she wants to achieve her dream, she’ll need to attend university and her parents are ready to help her get there. “Trinh will be different than me,” her mother says. “I want her to be fully educated and not drop out of school. It’ll be hard for us at home—but I’m prepared to work to make Trinh’s dreams come true.”

In this time of separation, may our faith, hope and love for God and one another remain courageously strong as we in solidarity with one another join together in what Pope Fran-cis has called a Lenten Penance we did not choose.
Your servant,Fr. Joe

En este tiempo de separación, que nuestra fe, esperanza y amor por Dios y por los unos a los otros permanezcan vali-entemente fuertes mientras solidariamente nos unimos unos con otros en lo que el Papa Francisco ha llamado la peniten-cia cuaresmal que no elegimos.
Su Servidor,P. Joe
