HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!
“Holy, holy, holy!” Ancient languages, like the Hebrew used in the
scriptures, did not always have a way to express superlatives in one word.
Isaiah could not say God was “holiest,” so he used the threefold repetition of the same word. This bit of scriptural minutiae about these “three
little words” that we sing at every Mass serves as a reminder that answering God’s call has to be grounded in awareness of God’s holiness. In
Isaiah and in the Gospel passage today, we hear accounts of the revelation of God’s power and might: the seraphim in the temple and the miraculous catch of fish. These are not wondrous revelations for their own
sakes. They lead to a response in mission, Isaiah’s “Here I am, send me!”
and the disciples’ leaving everything to follow Jesus. And so must our
own “Holy, Holy, Holy!” lead us to Christ in the Eucharist every Sunday,
and to a life following him day by day. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
¡SANTO, SANTO, SANTO!
“¡Santo, Santo, Santo!”. Los idiomas antiguos, como el hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no siempre tenían la manera de expresar
superlativos en una sola palabra. Isaías no tenía una palabra similar a
“santísimo”, así que usó la triple repetición de la misma palabra. Este
detalle de minucia bíblica sobre estas “tres pequeñas palabras” que cantamos en Misa cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder al llamado de Dios tiene que basarse en estar consciente de la santidad de
Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos relatos que
revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios: los serafines en el templo y la pesca
milagrosa. Estas no son revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a
una respuesta misionera, la de “Aquí estoy, ¡envíame!” de Isaías y la de los
discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a Jesús. De igual manera nuestro
“¡Santo, Santo, Santo!” nos lleva a Cristo en la Eucaristía de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día tras día.

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER
All of us, at some point of time in our life, go through some sorts of
tiredness, frustration, disappointment, stress, emptiness, anxiety and
depression in our personal, family and spiritual life. Sometimes we
come to the point of not moving further in our life. At times we find
tears rolling down in our cheeks for known and unknown reasons. For
example: Financial constraints, profitless job, relationship and marital
issues, suffering with chronic diseases, impatience with the sickly and
elderly, shallowness and weaknesses in our spiritual life, total inability
and helplessness in correcting irresponsible life partner and an alcoholic and drug addicted children, lack of cooperation from the family
members and colleagues in work place. There are students working
hard day and night but still not getting through the exam. The kids look
for job desperately but still loitering around here and there aimlessly.
When we find our own kids and grandkids suffering in their life even
after our sacrifice, money, time, energy and resources for them, we find
life really hard. All these life situations make us tired physically, emotionally and spiritually and we start saying what the disciple Peter said
in today’s gospel “Master, we have worked all night long but have
caught nothing”.
St. Peter felt tired, disappointed and frustrated. During the trying
moments of his life, Jesus lifted him up saying,” put out into deep
water and let down your nets for a catch”. Despite the frustration of
the nightlong toil, St. Peter listened to Jesus’ command and witnessed
the miraculous catch of the fish. It was an amazing experience for St.
Peter to witness Jesus’ mighty power which made him realize his own
unworthiness and sinfulness. In spite of hurdles in our personal, family
and spiritual life, we have to move forward with the help of prayer life
without getting exhausted in any way because the Lord is in control of
our life.
What can we learn from St. Peter? He was not an intellectual but an
uneducated fisherman but now he has been rewarded with an eternal
life, martyrdom, veneration and imitation by the whole church because
of his humility, self-surrender and absolute fidelity to Christ. Rewarding
his faith and fidelity, Jesus gave him wisdom to lead the church as the
first pope. The fisherman Peter is the teacher of the church, catching
us in the net of catholic faith and bringing us to the shore of eternal
life.
Time to put out into the deep and lower our nets: The church has
been weakened from within and is under attack from without. We cannot abandon the church to enemies who look for the ruining of the
catholic souls. The contemporary culture has thrown off almost every
remnant of Christian influence by promoting atheism, Paganism, excess
freedom and human trafficking. Hundreds of Christian churches are
mushrooming every day and we are helplessly losing our traditional
Catholics who shelter in other denominations. So we need to reevangelize the evangelized (Catholics) and de-Christianize our culture
by cultivating a missionary spirit. We need conversion at every level.
We need to necessitate solid catechesis for all Christian families because many catholic Christians don’t know the Christian doctrine and
the social teachings of the church. The “so called traditional Christian
countries” have very little evidence of their religious faith right now. It
is time to wake up from our deep slumber. The Church is the boat,
presided over by the Lord. As the Lord of the harvest, He is calling us
for the works of new evangelization. He is sending us out on fishing
mission for his church. Let us be reminded of our baptismal vocation,
completely given over to the work of the Lord, in the heart of the
Church, for the sake of the world. He will work His saving and redemptive mission in and through us, precisely because we are members
of His Mystical Body, the Church and therefore let us like St. Peter,
follow our Lord everyday by living our baptismal call and commitment.
God Bless you.
Fraternally yours in Christ
Fr. Bernard

NAVEGAR MAR ADENTRO
Todos nosotros, en algún momento de nuestra vida, pasamos por el
cansancio, la frustración, la decepción, el estrés, el vacío, la ansiedad y la
depresión en nuestra vida personal, familiar y en la vida espiritual. A veces
llegamos al punto de no ir más allá de nuestra vida. A veces nos encontramos con lágrimas rodando por nuestras mejillas por razones conocidas y
desconocidas. Por ejemplo: limitaciones financieras, trabajo sin ganancias,
relaciones y problemas conyugales, sufriendo de enfermedades crónicas,
siendo impaciente con los enfermos y los ancianos, superficialidades y debilidades en nuestra vida espiritual, incapacidad total y débiles en la corrección
del compañero de vida irresponsable, alcohólico, jóvenes adictos a las drogas, falta de cooperación por parte de los miembros de la familia y colegas
en el lugar de trabajo. Hay estudiantes que trabajan duro día y noche, pero
todavía no consiguen pasar el examen. Muchachos buscando trabajo desesperadamente, pero todavía pierden el tiempo por aquí y allá sin rumbo.
Cuando nos encontramos con nuestros propios hijos y nietos que están
sufriendo en la vida, incluso después de nuestro sacrificio, dinero, tiempo,
energía y recursos por ellos, nos encontramos con la vida muy difícil. Todas
estas situaciones de la vida nos cansan física, emocional y espiritualmente
entonces empezamos a decir lo que dijo el discípulo Pedro en el Evangelio
de hoy: "Maestro, hemos trabajado toda la noche pero no hemos pescado
nada".
San Pedro se sentía cansado, decepcionado y frustrado. Durante los
momentos difíciles de su vida, Jesús lo levantó diciendo: " “Lleva la barca
mar adentro y echen sus redes para pescar”". A pesar de la frustración
de la fatiga nocturna, San Pedro escuchó la orden de Jesús y fue testigo de la
pesca milagrosa. Fue una experiencia increíble para San Pedro presenciar el
gran poder de Jesús que le hizo darse cuenta de su propia indignidad y pecaminosidad. A pesar de los obstáculos en nuestra vida personal, familiar y en
la vida espiritual, tenemos que seguir adelante con la ayuda de la vida de
oración sin agotarnos de ninguna manera porque el Señor está en control de
nuestra vida.
¿Qué podemos aprender de San Pedro? No era un intelectual, sino un
pescador sin educación pero ha sido recompensado con la vida eterna, y el
martirio, la veneración e imitación de toda la iglesia por su humildad, entrega en sí mismo y fidelidad absoluta a Cristo. En recompensa a su fe y fidelidad, Jesús le dio sabiduría para dirigir la iglesia como el primer Papa. El
pescador Pedro es el maestro de la iglesia, capturándonos en la red de la fe
católica y trayéndonos a la orilla de la vida eterna.
Es hora de ir mar adentro y tirar nuestras redes: La iglesia se ha debilitado desde adentro y es atacada desde el exterior. No podemos abandonar la
iglesia a los enemigos que buscan la ruina de las almas católicas. La cultura
contemporánea nos ha despojado de casi todos los remanente de la influencia cristiana, promoviendo el ateísmo, el paganismo, el exceso de la libertad
y la trata de personas. Cientos de iglesias protestantes se multiplican todos
los días y están perdiendo sin remedio a nuestros católicos tradicionales que
se refugian en otras denominaciones. Así que tenemos que volver a evangelizar a los evangelizados (católicos) y -cristianizar nuestra cultura mediante el cultivo de un espíritu misionero. Necesitamos conversión en
todos los niveles. Debemos hacer necesaria la catequesis sólida para todas
las familias cristianas, porque muchos cristianos católicos no conocen la
doctrina cristiana y la doctrina social de la iglesia. Los llamados "países cristianos tradicionales" tienen muy poca evidencia de su fe religiosa en este
momento. Es hora de despertar de nuestro sueño profundo. La Iglesia es el
barco, presidido por el Señor. El Señor de la cosecha, nos está llamando a
las obras de nueva evangelización. Él nos envía a la misión de la pesca para
su iglesia. Vamos a recordarnos de nuestra vocación bautismal, plenamente
dedicada a la obra del Señor, en el corazón de la Iglesia, por el bien del
mundo. El trabajara su misión misionera y redentora a través de nosotros,
porque precisamente, nosotros, somos miembros de su Cuerpo místico la
Iglesia, por lo tanto, vamos como San Pedro, a seguir a nuestro Señor
todos los días, viviendo nuestro compromiso y llamado bautismal.
Dios les Bendiga.
Fraternalmente suyo en Cristo
Padre Bernard.

ABSTINECE AND FASTING
—Abstinence from eating meat is to be observed on all Fridays during Lent. This applies to all persons 14 and older. The observance of fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday applies to all persons ages 18 to 59.
Fasting means that one full meatless meal per day may be eaten. Two other meatless meals may be taken sufficient to maintain strength, but together they should not equal a full meal. Liquids, including milk and fruit juice, may be taken between
meals. If health or ability to work are affected, fasting does not oblige.
Private, self-imposed observance of fasting on Lenten weekdays is strongly recommended. Parents should ensure that children who are not bound by the laws of fast and abstinence are taught an authentic sense of penance, conversion and reconciliation.
LENTEN OBSERVANCE
—Catholics are encouraged to participate in the Eucharistic liturgy and in the sacrament of penance during Lent. Likewise encouraged are devotions such as Stations of the Cross, vigils and prayer services (with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, if
opportune). Traditional practices—including increased prayer, Scripture and spiritual reading, alms, personal self-denial in food
and drink, increased care and service to the sick and needy—are also suggested.
St. Catherine of Siena Parish will be offering these devotions and prayer services throughout the observance of Lent, including
Stations of the Cross on all Fridays of Lent in English at 5:45 p.m. and in Spanish at 7:00 p.m.
EASTER DUTY: HOLY COMMUNION
—All initiated Catholics are bound by the obligations of receiving Communion at least once a year. This precept must be fulfilled during the Easter duty season, which is from the first Sunday of Lent until Trinity Sunday, unless it is fulfilled for a just cause
at some other time of the year.
PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION
—In this penitential season of Lent, the Christian faithful are obliged, and
encouraged, to confess sacramentally all serious sins not previously acknowledged in individual confession. Communal celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered at St. Catherine of Siena on Thursday, March 3 at 7:15 p.m. This
emphasizes the social and ecclesial aspects of sin and reconciliation. Individual confessions will be available in English and Spanish.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
During the Lenten Season flowers and plants are not acceptable as decorations in the sanctuary. Please help us to maintain the
decor as it is. ANUNCIO ESPECIAL Durante la Cuaresma no se permite el uso de plantas o flores en el Santuario. Por favor,
ayúdennos a mantener el ambiente apropiado.
