PENITENTIAL RITE Today, March 13, 2016, we celebrate yet another Rite as we move toward the Easter Vigil. This Peniten al Rite is intended solely for celebra on with the bap zed candidates, Liz Phelan and Kurt Wiese, who are preparing for Confirma on and Eucharist. It is cele-brated during the RCIA Period of Purifica on and Enlightenment, which coincides with Lent. It is a period of more intense spiritual prepara on, consis ng more in interior reflec on than in instruc-
on. This period is intended to purify their minds and hearts as they search their consciences and do penance, as well as deepen their rela onship with Christ. Our responsibility as the church community is to surround them with prayer. We ask that you con nue to pray that these candi-dates will have a spirit of repentance, and will encounter Christ in the sacraments at the Easter Vigil.
Peace, Donna Beam, RCIA Director

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 13 de marzo de 2016
Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma Otra de tantas coincidencias sucede otra vez, el primer Ángelus que rezó el Papa Francisco fue en la fecha en la últi-ma vez que se proclamó la historia del Evangelio de hoy, el encuentro de Jesús con la mujer adultera . . . En ese entonces el Papa Francisco dijo que “la actitud de Jesús es sorprenden-te”. “No escuchamos palabras de condenación o desprecio, solo palabras de amor, de misericordia, una invitación a la conversión: ‘Tampoco yo te condeno’ ” (Juan 8:11). El Papa Francisco continua diciendo: “el rostro de Dios es el de un padre misericordioso, que siempre tiene paciencia. ¿Han pen-sado en la paciencia de Dios, la paciencia que tiene con cada uno de nosotros? Ésa es su misericordia. Siempre tiene pa-ciencia, paciencia con nosotros, nos comprende, nos espera, no se cansa de perdonarnos si sabemos volver a él con el co-razón contrito” (Papa Francisco, Rezo del Ángelus del 17 de marzo de 2013). Las parroquias que están preparando a cate-cúmenos pueden proclamar la historia de Lázaro cuando vuel-ve a la vida. Refiriéndose a Lázaro y a todos aquellos que “se despertaron” de la “muerte” del pecado, Jesús define la “misión de misericordia” de la comunidad: “Desátenlo y dé-jenlo ir” (Juan 11:44).
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Artesanos preparan alfombras de flores y plumas de quetzal en Guatemala para las fies-tas de esta semana santa. Grupos de fieles practican su papel de personaje judío o ro-mano para los vía crucis en México, Texas, Chicago y tantos lugares más. Fraternidades penitenciales están preparándose espiritual-mente para cargar con imágenes sagradas y pesadas por calles españolas. Muchos más es-tán preparando sus maletas para irse a la playa o las montañas donde, probablemente, nunca recordaran el nombre de Jesús. Estos últimos se perderán las liturgias más significativas de nuestra fe cristiana; ritos lle-nos de movimiento desde afuera de la Iglesia hasta adentro. Están llenos de símbolos que nos llaman a la verdad de la existencia cristia-na y humana: somos personas paradójicas. Co-menzamos entre los hosannas del Domingo de Ramos, pasamos por las dolorosas imágenes del Viernes Santo y terminamos entre juegos de oscuridad, fuego y agua en la Vigilia Pas-cual. Muchas veces honramos al Señor y tan-tas veces lo negamos, pero él nunca deja de llamarnos. En fin nos recuerda que la condi-ción humana es sagrada y profana a la vez.
RENGLONES RECTOS “Dios escribe derecho en renglones torcidos”, dice el refrán. El testimonio contundente de san Pablo, cuando nos dice que todo es basura fuera del conocer a Cristo y experimentar la fuerza de su Resurrección, es un mensa-je bien directo y claro –aunque Dios sabe que Pablo an-duvo por una senda bien torcida antes de recibir la luz cegadora del Señor. Isaías nos recuerda que los grandes milagros del pa-sado no son nada en comparación con la nueva creación que Dios va a realizar. “¿No lo notan?” nos pregunta el profeta, como si todavía anduviéramos perdidos por nuestras sendas torcidas. Y no hay renglón más derecho que la línea que co-necta la intensa miseria de una mujer pecadora con la misericordia de Dios que se muestra en la persona de Jesús. ¡Eso sí que son Buenas Nuevas!”
