Safeguard the Children Parish Committee Chair

Ron Clouse-529-1397 The “Battered Child Syndrome” may indicate abuse “Battered Child Syndrome” is a clinical term professionals use to refer to children experiencing recurrent physical abuse from a caretaker over an extended period of time. Signs of a battered child can include repeated bruising or bruising in unusual plac-es, broken bones, scratches, and other injuries. Even if you do not see physical abuse happening, such injuries may be signs that a child is in danger in his or her own home. You should report any suspicious injuries or symptoms to a local child pro-tective services agency — that report could save a child’s life. To learn more from the VIRTUS® article “Battered Child Syn-drome.” El “Síndrome del niño maltratado” es un término clínico que los profesionales usan para referirse a niños que experimentan abuso físico recurrente por parte de un cuidador, durante un período prolongado de tiempo. Los signos de un niño maltrata-do pueden incluir moretones esporádicos o moretones repetidos en lugares inusuales, huesos rotos, rasguños y otras lesiones. Aunque usted no vea el abuso físico, tales lesiones pueden ser signos de que un/a niño/a está en peligro en su propia casa. Ust-ed debe reportar cualquier lesión o síntoma sospechoso a una agencia local de servicios de protección infantil, ya que ese informe podría salvar la vida de un/a niño/a.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time March 3, 2019 Every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thorn bushes, nor do they gather grapes from bram-bles. — Luke 6:44 THE INSIDE SHOWS In this third Sunday of our reading from the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus speaks of the inner soul and its outer expression. He uses images as he teaches. He addresses all of us. Jesus sees a plumb line connecting the soul with the soul's expression-words and actions. He uses exaggeration to drive home his point. We are urged to clear out the debris that blinds us. He knows that we have an uncanny ability to be blind to our own weaknesses, though they be as big as a board. He knows, too, how willingly we seem to ferret out others' smallest speck-like flaws. And this, too, is for our general consumption; solid old goodness and solid old badness will show eventually. The old Latin saying, which echoes Jesus’ images, is true: “What is bred in the bone will out in the flesh.” By and by, the inside will show through. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — One’s speech shows the bent of one’s mind. Praise no one before he or she speaks (Sirach 27:4-7). Psalm — Lord, it is good to give thanks to you (Psalm 92).

Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 3 de marzo de 2019 Cada árbol se conoce por sus frutos. No se recogen higos de las zarzas, ni se cortan uvas de los espinos. — Lucas 6:44 LOS ESPECTÁCULOS INTERIORES En este tercer Domingo de lecturas del Sermón del Llano, Jesús habla del alma interior y sus expresiones exteriores. Usa imágenes para enseñar. Nos habla a todos nosotros. Jesús ve un cable que conecta el alma con las expre-siones del alma, palabras y hechos. Usa un poco de exa-geración para recalcar el punto. Nos urge a limpiar toda la basura que nos hace ciegos. Sabe que tenemos una tre-menda habilidad para cegarnos ante nuestras propias de-bilidades, aunque sean tan grandes como una viga. Sabe, también, lo dispuestos que estamos a sacar a relucir los fallos de los demás por minúsculos que sean. Y también esto es para el consumo general nuestro; lo bueno sólido y lo malo sólido eventualmente saldrá a re-lucir. Hay un dicho en latín que hace eco de las imágenes de Jesús, y es muy cierto: “Lo que se engendra en el hue-so se mostrará en la carne”. Al fin y al cabo, lo interior saldrá afuera. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuando era niño mi padre me llevaba al rancho de mi abuelito en México. En una de esas visitas mi abuelo y mis tíos estaban quemando la tierra en su rancho. Mien-tras el fuego ardía, papa Manuel nos explicaba que era necesario reducir todo en cenizas para que la tierra reco-brara sus fuerzas y quedará más fértil. Sin saberlo, mi abuelo me dio la imagen que hasta hoy sostiene mi con-cepto del Miércoles de Cenizas y de la Cuaresma. El Miércoles de Cenizas es la fiesta cristiana que por lo menos doce siglos ha señalado el comienzo de la Cua-resma. No cabe duda que para los latinos este día es de particular atracción. Es uno de los pocos días del año li-túrgico en cual llegamos al templo en masa con tal de recibir las cenizas en la frente. Nosotros somos un pueblo enraizado en la tierra y sabemos que la tierra necesita quemarse de vez en cuando para seguir produciendo. Nosotros como la tierra necesi-tamos dominarnos y cultivarnos para producir frutos y flores para el Señor y los demás. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
