It was not that I found, O Savior true, No, I was found of Thee. he entire history of the Jewish people is directed toward one goal: that God might be glorified through the chosen people. Christians, too, are called to “do everything for the glory of God.” In today’s scriptures Paul reminds us that the best way for us to glorify God is to seek to benefit “the many,” as Christ did when he shed his blood for all of humankind. The reading from Leviticus explains one way the Jews sought to benefit the many, by keeping lepers and leprosy away from the chosen people. Jesus finds a better way. He cures the leper, who immediately re‑enters the community to spread the good news about Jesus to everyone who will listen. In this way both Jesus and the leper fulfill their calling to glorify the God who fills us “with the joy of salvation.” Thou did reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold. I walked and sank not on the troubled sea. ‘twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, As Thou, dear Lord, on me. I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole of Love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee. For Thou were long beforehand with my soul; Always Thou lovedst me. Copyright © J. S.

A ASH WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 18 shes are placed on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday, in one of the most counter-cultural acts of our faith. It is done for two reasons: as a personal act of remembrance and as a sign or a witness for others. of our salvation in Jesus. This is a joyful reminder. It challenges us, but also reminds us of why we want to turn from sin. Finally, we wear our ashes as a sign. It is not a boastful sign through which I say, "Look at me and see how holy I am." No, it is much more like, "I'm willing to wear this sign in the world and say that I've been reminded of where I come from and where I am going. I've heard the call to turn away from a life of sin and to give my life to living the Gospel of Jesus." And, occasionally, in this world which is too often caught up in the denial of death, I might be required to answer the question, "What's with the smudge on your forehead?" Traditionally, the ashes come from the burnt palms from last year's Passion Sunday celebration, which begins Holy Week. So, these ashes bring us back to our last celebration of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus. On this first day of Lent, we begin a journey of renewal - from death to life. This is a joyful season. We will make sacrifices, in order to try to let God reform our desiring, but this is a time for God to be generous to us. When the ashes are placed on our foreheads, the minister says one of two formulas to help us remember who we are and the mission to which we are sent: "Remember, man/woman, you are dust and to dust you will return." "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel." We are reminded that we are creatures and that our lives were given to us. But, we are also reminded that our lasting home is in eternity, with God. This is not our lasting home.

Según el Símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles, los cristianos creemos en el “perdón de los pecados”. Esta creencia se relaciona con creer en el Espíritu Santo, la Iglesia, la comunión de los santos, la resurrección del cuerpo y la vida eterna. En el perdón de los pecados, el Espíritu Santo manifiesta su continua presencia y acción en la Iglesia y comunión de los santos. Quienes reciben el perdón de los pecados mediante la celebración del Bautismo o del sacramento de la Reconciliación, están preparados para la resurrección y la vida eterna. El perdón de los pecados manifiesta el poder de Cristo, del Espíritu Santo y de la Iglesia. Los cristianos estamos llamados al perdón; perdonando, así como deseamos ser perdonados. Perdonando, como Jesucristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. 15 de febrero de 2015 Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El leproso habitará solo, fuera del campamento (Levítico 13:1-2, 44-46). Salmo — Perdona, Señor, nuestros pecados (Salmo 32 [31]). Segunda lectura — Haz todo por la gloria de Dios; sean imitadores de Cristo (1 Corintios 10:31 — 11:1). Evangelio — Jesús, después de haber curado a un hombre leproso, le pide que no se lo cuente a nadie (Marcos 1:40-45). PARA LA GLORIA DE DIOS La historia completa del pueblo judío va dirigida hacia una meta: que Dios sea glorificado por medio del pueblo escogido. Los cristianos también están llamados a “hacer todo para la gloria de Dios”. En las Escrituras de hoy Pablo nos recuerda que la mejor manera que tenemos para glorificar a Dios es buscar el beneficio de “todos” tal como Cristo hizo cuando derramó su sangre por toda la humanidad. La lectura de Levítico explica una manera en que los judíos buscaban el beneficio de muchos, manteniendo a los leprosos y la lepra alejados del pueblo escogido. Jesús encuentra una manera mejor: cura al leproso, que inmediatamente retorna a la comunidad para difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesús a todo el que le escuche. De este modo tanto Jesús como el leproso cumplen con su llamado de glorificar al Dios que nos llena “con la alegría de la salvación”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
