O God of all the Nations, the One God who is and was and always will be, who in your providence
willed that your Church be united to the suffering of your Son, look with mercy on your servants in
Iraq who are persecuted for their faith in you. Grant them perseverance and courage to be wor-thy imitators of Christ. Bring your wisdom upon
leaders of nations to work for peace among all peoples. May your Spirit open conversion for
those who contradict your will that we live in har-mony. And in all things may we be united in truth and freedom to seek your will in our lives. We ask
this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.

Palm Sunday
Fifth Sunday of Lent How fitting that the first Sunday Ange-lus of Pope Francis, who has made mercy his papacy’s theme, took place the last time today’s Gospel about Jesus’ encoun-ter with the adulterous woman was pro-claimed. “Jesus’ attitude is striking,” Francis declared. “We do not hear words of scorn or condemnation, on-ly words of love, of mercy, an invitation to conver-sion: ‘Neither do I condemn you’ ” (John 8:11). Fran-cis continued: “God’s face is the face of a merciful father who is always patient. Have you thought about God’s patience, the patience [God] has with each one of us? That is [God’s] mercy. [God] always has pa-tience, patience with us . . . understands us . . . waits for us . . . does not tire of forgiving us” if we return ‘with a contrite heart” (Pope Francis, Angelus address, March 17, 2013). Parishes preparing catechumens may proclaim Jesus’ raising of Lazarus. Referring to Lazarus, and all those “raised” from the “death” of sin, Jesus defines the community’s “mission of mercy”— “Untie him and let him go” (John 11:44).
Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma Otra de tantas coincidencias sucede otra vez, el primer Ángelus que rezó el Papa Fran-cisco fue en la fecha en la última 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 sorprendente”. “No escuchamos palabras de con-denación o desprecio, solo palabras de amor, de miseri-cordia, una invitación a la conversión: ‘Tampoco yo te condeno’ ” (Juan 8:11). El Papa Francisco continua di-ciendo: “el rostro de Dios es el de un padre misericordio-so, que siempre tiene paciencia. ¿Han pensado en la pa-ciencia de Dios, la paciencia que tiene con cada uno de nosotros? Ésa es su misericordia. Siempre tiene paciencia, paciencia con nosotros, nos comprende, nos espera, no se cansa de perdonarnos si sabemos volver a él con el cora-zón contrito” (Papa Francisco, Rezo del Ángelus del 17 de marzo de 2013). Las parroquias que están preparando a catecúmenos pueden proclamar la historia de Lázaro cuando vuelve 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 déjenlo ir” (Juan 11:44).

Small gestures of love, of tenderness, of care, make people feel that the Lord is with
us. This is how the door of mercy opens. Twitter - March 8, 2016
I consider everything as a loss
because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
— Philippians 3:8
Más aún pienso que nada vale la pena en comparación con el bien supremo,
que consiste en conocer a Cristo Jesús, mi Señor. — Filipenses 3:8

Artesanos preparan alfombras de flores y plumas de quetzal en Guatemala para las fiestas de esta semana santa. Grupos de fieles practican su papel de perso-naje judío o romano para los vía crucis en México, Texas, Chicago y tantos lugares más. Fraternidades penitenciales están preparándose espiritualmente para cargar con imágenes sagradas y pesadas por calles españolas. Muchos más están preparando sus maletas para irse a la playa o las montañas donde, probablemente, nunca recordaran el nombre de Je-sús. Estos últimos se perderán las liturgias más signi-ficativas de nuestra fe cristiana; ritos llenos de movi-miento desde afuera de la Iglesia hasta adentro. Es-tán llenos de símbolos que nos llaman a la verdad de la existencia cristiana y humana: somos personas paradójicas. Comenzamos entre los hosannas del Domingo de Ramos, pasamos por las dolorosas imá-genes del Viernes Santo y terminamos entre juegos de oscuridad, fuego y agua en la Vigilia Pascual. Muchas veces honramos al Señor y tantas veces lo negamos, pero él nunca deja de llamarnos. En fin nos recuerda que la condición humana es sagrada y profana a la vez.

STRAIGHT LINES “God writes straight with crooked lines,” the saying goes. The power of Paul’s testimony that everything is junk but knowledge of Jesus and the power of his resurrection is a straight enough message. And, God knows, Paul had a crooked journey before his blind-ing insight straight from God. Through Isaiah, God reminds us all that the past great works were as noth-ing compared to the new creation. “Can’t you see it?” we are asked, as if we are still wandering along our crook-ed lines. And there is no straighter line than that be-tween the woman whose misery is intense and the God whose mercy in Jesus is deeper and more acute. You just can’t beat this kind of good news
RENGLONES RECTOS “Dios escribe derecho en renglones torcidos”, dice el refrán. El testimonio contundente de san Pa-blo, cuando nos dice que todo es basura fuera del
conocer a Cristo y experimentar la fuerza de su Resurrección, es un mensaje bien directo y claro –aunque Dios sabe que Pablo anduvo por una senda bien torcida antes de recibir la luz cegadora del Señor. Isaías nos recuerda que los gran-des milagros del pasado 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 conecta 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!”
