5th Sunday of Lent Dear Sisters and Brothers, This is the last Sunday before the Palm Sunday, and two Sundays away from Easter Sunday. How fast the 40 days of Lent can pass, how much this simplicity of Lent is enjoyable. To keep things simple is good, to take care of ordinary everyday life, to find spiritual meaning through acts of prayer, through penance and sacrifice, through acts of kindness and generosity it all makes us more sensitive to the Lord, to others and to ourselves. Becoming more aware of God’s action in our life makes us happy and self fulfilling. Confessing our sins, admitting our need for being forgiven, humbly treating with God and men makes us better persons, makes us more lovable, with contrast to arrogance and pride, when we refuse the need for conversion towards the Lord. Each one of us can improve, each one of us can become closer to the Lord, each one of us can be more humble serving others, and all of it is the goal of Lent. To become more like Jesus in life, so we could be with him in heaven. As Jesus said: -I did not come to be served but to serve and to give my life as a ransom for many- these are very strong and humble words about Jesus’ way of doing things. We need to find similar ways, as Fr Frank Nelson said last Sunday - the small way - it is the way of the Saints, that by working hard they gave what they could for their own ransom and for ransom for others. Will we wait to be ransomed by Jesus and by others or will we join Him in saving others. Joining Jesus in his work of saving us sinners we need to apply his principles of mercy. As the woman in today’s Gospel was brought to Jesus for condemnation, so could we be brought to him for judgment as well, because who of us is without sin ? When the people in the Gospel became aware of their own sin so they all walked away from Jesus, and the only person that was forgiven is the woman. Jesus revealed his mercy to her and not to others. The others walked away with their own condemnation. They still needed to come back to Jesus and to ask to be forgiven and to stop judging and condemning others. Our goal is to find Jesus and to receive his mercy. We already know we are not without sin - we need forgiveness. As the ‘good Thief’ would say: “Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom “ . We all have a need to cry out from our hearts those words, so that Jesus can affirm us, as He affirmed the ‘good Thief ‘ - “today with me you will be in paradise “, as He assured the woman in the Gospel - “neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin anymore. “ In second reading we have seen how precious to Saint Paul is the knowledge of Christ. To possess Christ means everything to him, and nothing in this world can take his place. Having Christ we have everything. Jesus is the most precious gift that we may have in our hearts, and it is a gift that will make us eternal. Again, as Fr. Frank reminded us last Sunday: - to remember that the door of your heart opens from inside, - don’t forget to let Christ come into your heart and to become your guest and your gift most precious. Let’s turn our lives and hearts towards Christ today !!! God bless everyone always !!!

Queridas Hermanas y Hermanos, Este es el ultimo Domingo antes del Domingo de Ramos, y dos Domingos del Domingo de Pascua. Que tan rápido pueden pasar los 40 días de Cuaresma, que tan agradable es esta simplicidad de la Cuaresma. Mantener las cosas simples es bueno, cuidar la vida cotidiana, encontrar el significado espiritual a través de los actos de oración, la penitencia y el sacrificio, aunque los acto de bondad y generosidad nos hacen sentir mas sensible al Señor, a los demás y a nosotros mismos. Tomar conciencia de la acción de Dios en nuestra vida nos hace felices y nos auto cumplimos. Confesando nuestros pecados, admitiendo nuestra necesidad de ser perdona-dos, tratando humildemente con Dios y los hombres nos hacen mejores personas, nos hacen mas amables, en contraste con la arrogancia y el orgullo, cuando rechazamos la necesidad de conversión hacia el Señor. Cada uno de nosotros puede mejorar, cada uno de nosotros puede acercarse mas al Señor, cada uno de nosotros puede ser mas humilde al servicio de los demás, y todo esto es el objetivo de la Cuaresma. Para ser mas como Jesús en la vida, para que podamos estar con el en el cielo. Como dio Jesús: “No vine para que me sirvieran, sino para servir y dar mi vida como rescate por muchos”; estas son palabras muy fuertes y humildes acerca de la manera en que Jesús hace las cosas. Necesitamos encontrar una forma similar, como el Padre Frank dijo el Domingo pasado, a pequeña escala, que es el camino de los Santos, que por trabajo duro, dieron lo que pudieron por su propio rescate y por otros. ¿Esperaremos ser rescatados por Jesús y por otros o nos uniremos a El para salvar a otros? Uniéndonos a Jesús en su obra de salvarnos pecadores, necesitamos aplicar sus principios de misericordia. A medida que la mujer en el Evangelio de hoy fue traída a Jesús para ser condenada, también podríamos ser traídos a el para juzgarnos, porque ¿Quién de nosotros esta sin pecados? Cuando las personas en el Evangelio se dieron cuenta de su propio pecado, se alejaron de Jesús y la única persona que fue perdonada es la mujer. Jesús le revelo su misericordia a ella y no a los demás. Los demás se alejaron con su propia condena. Todavía necesitaban volver a Jesús y pedir perdón y dejar de juzgar y condenar a los demás. Nuestro objetivo es encontrar a Jesús y recibir su misericordia. Ya sabemos que no estamos sin pecado, necesitamos perdón. Como diría el buen Ladrón: “Jesús, acuérdate de mi cuando entres en tu reino”. Todos tenemos la necesidad de clamar desde nuestros corazones esas palabras, para que Jesús no pueda afirmar, como afirmo el buen Ladrón “hoy conmigo estarás en el paraíso”, como le aseguro a la mujer en el Evange-lio, “ni tampoco Te condeno. Vete, y de ahora en adelante no peque mas”. En la segunda lectura hemos visto lo precioso que es para San Pablo el conocimiento de Cristo. Poseer a Cristo significa todo para el, y nada en este mundo puede ocupar su lugar. Teniendo a Cristo tenemos todo. Jesús es el regalo mas precioso que podemos tener en nuestros corazones, y es un regalo que nos hará eternos. De nuevo, como el Padre Frank nos recordó el Domingo pasado: para recordar que la puerta de tu corazón se abre desde adentro, no olvides dejar que Cristo venga a tu corazón y se convierta en tu huésped y tu regalo mas preciado. ¡Volvamos nuestras vidas y corazones hacia Cristo hoy! Dios los bendiga a todos siempre.

Come hear of Bob’s personal journey being diagnosed with
Neuroendocrine (NET) cancer and how with the power of prayer quite literally, miraculously, disappeared. What happen then was a miracle.
Come hear how the power of prayer continues to heal Bob, diagnosis after diagnosis, he has turn to God and the POWER OF PRAYER, and
oncologists have stated that after thoroughly reviewing all the scientific evidence and exhausting their extensive knowledge, they
reached the conclusion that what happened was, indeed, “an act of God...a miracle.”
THE POWER OF PRAYER DOES WORK, learn how.
Diocese of Rockville Center Presents Long Island Catholic Youth Day
On Saturday March 30, 2019, eight (8) of the members of the Haitian-American Youth group at St Anne’s, accompanied by the four (4) youth leaders were in attendance with hundreds of other young Catholics, at Anthony’s High School in Huntington, NY. The
event of the day was Long Island Catholic Youth Day. The theme “To the Heights.” The day consisted of songs, praise & worship, mass with Bishop Barres, and inspirational
messages regarding, penance, mercy and most importantly discernment. Spiritual guidance and learning how to decipher the voice of God amongst all the noise in life. And taking that voice and going “to the heights” by going above and beyond; in order to become the person
God has planned for us to be. We were reminded how well God the Creator knows each and every single one of us and not to limit ourselves as a result. So many of the speakers spoke of purpose; purpose of each life, no matter how long that life is or how short. We were all also reminded, how discernment helps us to look for and find God in the most unexpected circumstances.
The afternoon ended with the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Inspirational, enlightening, encouraging are the words that come to mind seeing so many young people
give themselves to Christ in that moment during the adoration. There was no holding back, no inhibitions; as everyone willingly brought their hearts, myself included, to the Lamb of God. It is safe to say after that that afternoon; everyone felt a sort of renewal that we could
take back to our everyday lives. A special thank you to Fr. Stan and Bertha for registering our group for
