Esnel Alexandre, Taisha Blanc, Allure Fabre, Carlyle Guerrier, Andrew Isaacs, Nancy JeanBaptiste, Julien Pierre, Christian Mojica, Robert Moore, Gianni Picos, Melody Val 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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Today’s Readings First Reading — The wrath and the mercy of the Lord are revealed in the exile and liberation of the chosen people (2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23) or 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a. Psalm — Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you! (Psalm 137) or Psalm 23. Second Reading — By grace you have been saved (Ephesians 2:4-10) or Ephesians 5:8-14. Gospel — The Son was sent by God so that the world might be saved through him (John 3:14-21) or John 9:1-41 [1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38].

Because of your faithful and committed generosity we have been able to give help to those in need. The following is a list of works performed by the society over the past year: Rent/Utility Help: 40 Families Food Pantry: 540 families Homeless Ministry: 2000 individuals Book Bag/School Supplies: 41 children Thanksgiving Baskets: 51 families (236 people) Angel Tree: 71 children each receiving 3 gifts Our society members volunteered 1801 hours and drove an estimated 5,237 miles to carry out these works. We are also very grateful to Father Andrew for his dedication and commitment to the poor. He permits the use of an offering envelope specifically designated for St. Vincent De Paul in the monthly package. This is not the norm in many parishes. In this season of Lent the church asks us to take some time and focus on prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. The parish community of St. Bartholomew is certainly attuned to the needs of the poor. Once again, on behalf of the needy in our area, the homeless community in South Broward, and those families who depend upon the food pantry, we thank you. May God continue to bless, nourish and sustain our parish community.

Que nous sommes invités à regarder JÉSUS en CROIX... Saint Jean, l’Évangéliste nous invite à regarder la CROIX, surtout le CRUCIFIÉ, Celui qui est élevé de terre pour guérir les blessures du mal en nous. Jean, le seul qui était là au pied de la CROIX, ce vendredi là n’a jamais pu oublier ce jour ni ce spectacle auquel nous sommes hélas trop habitués. Pour nous, vingt siècles après, nous imaginons facilement que c’est le passé lointain, oubliant que la PASSION de Jésus, elle dure jusqu’à la fin du monde. Le CORPS mystique de Jésus continue cette douloureuse PASSION. Il y a la faim et la soif de tant de personnes, de petits enfants... La torture infligée à tant d’hommes et de femmes ou pour des raisons politiques ou pour des raisons religieuses... Il y a plus près de nous tous ces malades... ceux qui souffrent de ne pas être aimés... et la liste serait encore longue... Comment les regardons-nous ? Que faisons-nous pour leur soulagement ? L’ÉVANGILE NOUS DEMANDE... De CROIRE vraiment à L’AMOUR DE DIEU pour nous... CROIRE vraiment à cet Amour ineffable, c’est vivre en fonction de cette assurance. Si nous croyons à l’AMOUR de Dieu, nous nous efforcerons d’entrer en contact avec LUI, de L’imiter en étant ses yeux, ses mains et son cœur pour tous ceux qui nous entourent et qui sont aussi AIMÉS infiniment... Nous travaillerons à les rendre heureux. © 2008 - Mouvement des Cursillos Francophones du Canada Retraite Pascale Du Lundi 16 au Mercredi 18 Mars .

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.
