Today’s Gospel Reflection
1st Reading: 2 Chr 36:14-16, 19-23 * Psalm 137:1-6 *
2nd Reading: Eph 2:4-10 * Gospel: Jn 3:14-21
RAISED UP BY THE MESSIAH
Last week, when Jesus referred to the
destruction of the temple, the account from
today’s first reading is what would have come to
the minds of his listeners. But, as Jesus was
speaking on a deeper level, so does today’s first
reading. In the first paragraph we hear that Israel
had, in effect, “fallen” already through its infidelity
to the covenant. Lest we get too cozy, this account reminds us
that God, though just, loving, and merciful, is capable of punishing sin when that sin is unrepentant. But we are also reminded
that God, rich in mercy, anoints individuals to be vessels of salvation as well (in Hebrew, King Cyrus of Persia is called “messiah”).
In the Gospel reading, we hear of another Messiah being “lifted
up” for our salvation in one of the best‑known passages from the
New Testament. As Lent concludes and we enter Holy Week, we
need to keep our gaze steadfast upon the cross of Christ, the
Son of God who came into the world to raise us who had fallen.

“God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but
that the world might be saved through him.” — John 3:17
LEVANTADOS POR EL MESÍAS
La semana pasada, cuando Jesús se refería a la destrucción
del Templo, el relato de la primera lectura de hoy es lo que les
hubiera venido a la mente a sus oyentes. Pero, dado que Jesús
estaba hablando en un sentido más profundo, así también debemos entender la primera lectura de hoy. Escuchamos en el primer
párrafo que Israel en efecto ya había “caído” a causa de sus infidelidades contra la alianza. Para no ponernos demasiado cómodos,
este relato nos recuerda que Dios, aunque justo, amoroso y misericordioso, es capaz de castigar el pecado cuando es un pecado no
arrepentido. Pero también nos recuerda que Dios, rico en misericordia, unge a individuos para que sean a su vez instrumentos de
salvación (en hebreo al Rey Ciro de Persia se le denomina
“mesías”). En la lectura del Evangelio, escuchamos de otro Mesías
que debe ser “levantado” por nuestra salvación, en uno de los
pasajes más conocidos del Nuevo Testamento. Al terminar la
Cuaresma y entrar en la Semana Santa, debemos mantener
nuestra mirada fija en la cruz de Cristo, el Hijo de Dios que vino al
mundo para levantarnos a todos los que habíamos caído.
“Dios no envió a su Hijo para condenar al mundo,
sino para que el mundo se salvara por él.” — Juan 3:17

ST. MICHAEL CHURCH
PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO
Dear Parishioners and friends,
Today is the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
For us, Catholics, Lent is a special time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
PASTORS’ MESSAGE
Jesus teaches us to “Give alms… Pray to your Father… Fast without a gloomy
face…” (Matthew 6:1-18).
“Prayer with fasting is good. Almsgiving with righteousness is better than wealth with
wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold, for almsgiving saves from death, and
purges all sin. Those who give alms will enjoy a full life.” (Tobit 12:8-9).
With fasting and praying, giving alms (from the Greek word eleēmosýnē for sympathy,
charity, mercy) is a special practice of piety. Almsgiving is a form of prayer and fasting. When
we give alms, we actually give to God. Almsgiving is also a form of fasting because it demands
sacrificial giving, not just giving something, but giving up something—giving until it hurts.
Almsgiving is a response that we have come through prayer and fasting. It is a response to
God’s mercy and generosity. It is an expression of our gratitude for all that God has given us.
Almsgiving is “a witness to fraternal charity” and “a work of justice pleasing to God.” (Catechism
of the Catholic Church, no. 2462)
At the beginning of the Lenten season, we launched the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal
(ACA). By participating in ACA, we give alms by supporting the Diocese in the service of the poor
and imprisoned, education for children in Catholic schools and training of catechists, formation of
candidates for the priesthood, ministry to our youth and to young people on university campuses,
preparation of couples for marriage, and support for parish development in Imperial Valley.
The ACA is an on-going appeal. This year we are “called to be merciful”.
respond?
How do you

Blessings from St. Michael Academy to the St. Michael Parish Community!
I am very happy, and very proud, to report that 17 of our 7th and 8th grade students passed
the initial screening process and were invited to participate in the Greater San Diego Science
and Engineering Fair! Judging will be later this month. Rest assured, when I know the results,
I will let you know. The GSDSEF is a challenge for any student. Our entrants will be competing
against hundreds of other students from across the county; junior high and high school. Having
so many of our students invited to participate in the fair says a great deal about the quality and rigor of our
academic program at St. Michael Academy.
Enrollment/registration is an ongoing process at St. Michael Academy. We are a Kindergarten through 8th Grade
school. Call the office and schedule a tour of the Academy. Give us an opportunity to show you how the cost of your child’s
Catholic education can fit into your budget. Call 619-470-4880, or e-mail Mrs. Lewis @ [email protected].
Fr. Manny offers a $1000 discount to new families enrolling in the Academy.

Prayer for the Year of
Consecrated Life
O God, throughout the ages you have
called women and men to pursue lives
of perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this
Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these
courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration.
Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect
offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church
by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the
pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above
all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives
and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.
