The Annunciation, fresco by Fra Angelico, 1438-45; in the Museum of San Marco, Florence I greet you, Ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Throne of Grace, miracle of Almighty Power! I greet you, Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen

of the Universe, Mother of Mercy and refuge of sinners!

Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg of you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favor I request in this novena:

(mention your request). Obtain for me also, Queen of heaven, the most lively contrition for my many

sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience. Above all, I beg you to

be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory.

Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not

abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.

FIESTA DE LA FELa Liturgia de la Palabra

Ésta comienza a partir de la Oración colecta. En las lecturas que se proclaman, “Dios habla a su pueblo, le descubre el misterio de la redención y salvación, y le ofrece el alimento espiritual; y el mismo Cristo, por su palabra, se hace presente en medio de los fieles”, (IGMR, 55). La actual estructura de la Liturgia de la Palabra en la que se proclama la primera lectura del Antiguo Testamento (excepto durante la Pascua), la segunda lectura del Nuevo Testamento y, posteriormente el Evangelio, responde a la estructura misma de la liturgia en las sinagogas judías que probablemente surgieron durante el destierro (586-539 a.C.), pues eran los lugares indicados para la oración. El Salmo Responsorial, la Homilía, el Credo y las Intercesiones Generales, también son parte de la Liturgia de la Palabra. No obstante, hay que recordar que el corazón de la Liturgia de la Palabra lo ocupa la proclamación del Evangelio. ¡Gloria y honor a ti, Señor Jesús! —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Father John Paul

n these last two weeks of Lent, the reading draws our eyes to the

crucified one, with a focus on what God has done for us. The promise of a new covenant embodies the aging Jeremiah’s spiritual testament to an exiled people: “even though they have sinned in the past, I will be their God and they shall be my people. It will be written on the hearts of the people, and their acceptance will not be taught but will arise from their deep experience of forgiveness, for I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sins no more.” We hear from the Gospel that Jesus, “learned obedience” from what he suffered. Biblical obedience is not primarily following the will of another but a “deep listening”– in the case of Jesus not only to his Father but also, as the compassionate one, to the suffering of his brothers and sisters. His life and suffering were a school of deep listening and compassion. This suffering of Jesus leads us into the deepest mysteries of Christian faith: the allure of “the world”, the inevitability of death and suffering (even the call to embrace it) along with the ringing paradox that loss of human life is the gain of eternal life, that we have a compassionate high priest whose soul was also troubled as he faced the abyss of death but whose death was an enduring covenant of forgiveness inscribed with the promise that “where I am, there also will my servant be” (Jn.12: 26). Let us not be afraid of such dying before we actually die. For death is only a parting of the cloud which hides the sun.

"The Blessed Virgin endured a long and cruel martyrdom in her heart for our sakes, and for love of us. Frequently, and with feelings of tender love, contemplate her standing at the foot of the Cross, and join her in bewailing and weeping over sin, which, by causing the death of Jesus, rent in twain the heart of Mary. Pledge your heart to this Mother of sorrows, by some habitual act of devotion and mortification, in remembrance and in honor of her bitter sufferings. Also, endure something for love of her, imitating her patience, resignation, and silence." — Fr. Ignatius of the Side of Jesus
