The first phrase is the key: God is the one who brings us out of slavery; following God’s law or commands is our path to freedom. The money changers whom Jesus drove from the temple were not explicitly breaking any of the commandments, but neither were they helping people to find God’s path to freedom as they came to worship at the temple. This is an important Lenten lesson for us. We need to stop asking ourselves whether or not we are breaking specific rules or regulations and instead examine our lives to see if we are truly following a path to God’s freedom through Christ.

St. Bartholomew Catholic School Miramar, Florida 954-431-5253 “Sharing, Learning and Growing in Christ” School Office Hours Monday - Friday 7:45 am - 3:30 pm School Hours Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 2:45 pm St Bart’s Students are keeping Lent Holy 8 Mars, 2015 - Troisième Dimanche de Carême - Année B Le Chemin qui mène à la liberté Le Carême dure 40 jours. Les six dimanches de la période en sont exclus : elle s’étend donc sur 46 jours calendaires (40 jours ordinaires et 6 dimanches). Etant donné qu’il prend fin lors du Samedi Saint, veille de Pâques, le début du Carême a lieu 46 jours avant Pâques. Dans l’église universelle, il a commencé cette année mercredi 18 février. Le Carême désigne le temps liturgique pendant lequel l’Église catholique invite ses fidèles et toute personne de bonne volonté, à se tourner sincèrement vers Dieu. Ce retour vers Dieu, dans la contemplation de son amour et de sa bonté, s’appelle la « conversion » et s’accompagne d’efforts sur soi-même ainsi que des privations au profit des autres. Les chrétiens oublient parfois les dures paroles de l’Apôtre Jean réprimandant les chrétiens fauteurs de divisions dans leur communauté, en leur disant : « Quiconque hait son frère est un meurtrier. Et vous le savez aucun meurtrier n’a la vie éternelle demeurant en lui. Si quelqu’un dit : « J’aime Dieu » et qu’il haïsse son frère, c’est un menteur. Celui qui n’aime pas son frère, qu’il voit, ne peut pas aimer Dieu qu’il ne voit pas. » Le Carême est un temps privilégié pour mettre à profit toutes les occasions de rencontrer les autres, de les écouter, de se réconcilier si besoin est, pour reconstituer la cohésion de la communauté et œuvrer ensemble pour qu’il y ait davantage de justice et d’amour entre les individus. Le Carême invite à se sentir responsable du bien commun et à ne se dérober à cette responsabilité sous aucuns prétextes surtout ceux du genre : « Que puis-je faire ? Est-ce moi seul qui changerai le monde ? Je ne puis porter sur mon dos la misère du monde ! » Certes, tout seul, on ne peut changer le monde. Mais un proverbe local dit : « Se ti gren diri ki ka plin sak » (ce sont des petits grains de riz qui remplissent un sac ». C’est aussi le message du Carême. Notre société devient de plus en plus individualiste sinon égoïste. Que tous les hommes de bonne volonté répondent à cette invitation du Christ, ne serait-ce qu’en se souciant de respecter, partout et en toute situation, la politesse qui est la règle du savoir vivre en société : Ce serait déjà un grand pas vers cet Amour que le Seigneur demande aux hommes d’avoir les uns envers les autres. Bon Carême à tous ! Rev. Michel Méranville, Archevêque de Martinique. • Le groupe charismatique “Amour, sagesse & paix” vous invite tous à une matinée de jeûne et de prière tous les samedis de Carême de 9 am à 12:30 pm. • Retraite Pascale du 16 au 18 Mars Messe à 7 pm, reflection après la Messe avec le Rev.

La primera frase es clave: Dios es el que nos sacó de la esclavitud; cumplir las leyes o mandamientos de Dios es nuestro camino a la libertad. Los cambistas a quienes Jesús echó del templo no estaban violando ninguno de los mandamientos, pero tampoco estaban ayudando a la gente a encontrar el camino hacia la libertad de Dios cuando llegaban al Templo a rezar. Esta es una lección de la Cuaresma importante para nosotros. Tenemos que dejar de preguntarnos si estamos o no violando alguna regla o reglamento específico, y en cambio examinar nuestra vida para ver si verdaderamente estamos siguiendo un camino hacia la libertad de Dios por medio de Cristo.
