Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Lent is a time of renewal for the whole Church, for each community and every believer.
Above all it is a “time of grace” (2 Cor 6:2). God does not ask of us anything that he
himself has not first given us. “We love because he first has loved us” (1 Jn 4:19). He is
not aloof from us. Each one of us has a place in his heart. He knows us by name, he cares
for us and he seeks us out whenever we turn away from him. He is interested in each of us;
his love does not allow him to be indifferent to what happens to us. Usually, when we are
healthy and comfortable, we forget about others (something God the Father never does):
we are unconcerned with their problems, their sufferings and the injustices they endure.
Our heart grows cold. As long as I am relatively healthy and comfortable, I don’t think
about those less well off. Today, this selfish attitude of indifference has taken on global
proportions, to the extent that we can speak of a globalization of indifference. It is a
problem which we, as Christians, need to confront.
When the people of God are converted to his love, they find answers to the questions that
history continually raises. One of the most urgent challenges which I would like to address
in this message is precisely the globalization of indifference. Indifference to our neighbor
and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we
need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.
God is not indifferent to our world; he so loves it that he gave his Son for our salvation. In
the Incarnation, in the earthly life, death, and resurrection of the Son of God, the gate
between God and man, between heaven and earth, opens once for all. The Church is like
the hand holding open this gate, thanks to her proclamation of God’s word, her celebration
of the sacraments and her witness of the faith which works through love (cf. Gal 5:6). But
the world tends to withdraw into itself and shut that door through which God comes into
the world and the world comes to him. Hence the hand, which is the Church, must never
be surprised if it is rejected, crushed and wounded.
God’s people, then, need this interior renewal, lest we become indifferent and withdraw
into ourselves. To further this renewal, I would like to propose for our reflection three
biblical texts:

“If one member suffers, all suffer together” (1 Cor 12:26) – The Church
“Where is your brother?” (Gen 4:9) – Parishes and Communities
“Make your hearts firm!” (James 5:8) – Individual Christians
Over the next weeks of Lent, more detailed reflections of the above will be given.
Today the Parish welcomes Fr. Carl Melchior, who will talk about vocation to the
priesthood for the Diocese of Saint Petersburg.
In the afternoon at the Cathedral of Saint Jude, Bishop Lynch will accept the new
Catechumens and Candidates in the Rite of Acceptance. In the Rite of Sending at the
4:30 p.m. Mass, the Parish sent Catechumens and Candidates to the Cathedral. In next
week’s bulletin their names will be listed.
Yours in Christ,
Father John

FIRST COMMUNION
PREP
Miércoles, March 4
6:30 PM, en SJH
Para padres y estudiantes
Del Parroco
Hoy al nosotros empezar la Época de Cuaresma, el Papa Francisco envió la siguiente carta de reflexión:
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas,
La cuaresma es el tiempo de renovación para toda la Iglesia, para cada comunidad y cada creyente. Pero
sobre todo es un “tiempo de gracia” (2 Cor. 6:2). Dios no nos pide nada que él no nos haya dado primero.
“Nosotros amamos porque él nos amó primero” (1 Juan 4:19). Él no está apartado de nosotros. Cada uno
de nosotros tiene un lugar en su corazón. Él nos conoce por nombre, él cuida de nosotros y nos busca
cuando nos alejamos de él. Él está interesado por cada uno de nosotros, su amor no le permite ser
indiferente a lo que nos ocurre. Usualmente, cuando estamos saludables y cómodos, nos olvidamos acerca
de los otros (algo que Dios Padre nunca hace): nosotros no nos preocupamos de sus problemas, sus
sufrimientos y las injusticias que ellos enfrentan. Nuestro corazón se vuelve frío. Mientras yo esté
relativamente saludable y cómodo, yo no pienso acerca de aquellos menos afortunados. Hoy, esta actitud
egoísta de indiferencia ha tomado proporciones globales, al extreme que nosotros podemos hablar acerca
de una globalización de indiferencia. Este es un problema el cual nosotros, como cristianos, necesitamos
enfrentar.
Cuando el pueblo de Dios se ha convertido a su amor, ellos encuentran respuestas a las preguntas que la
historia continuamente erige. Uno de los desafíos más urgentes, el cual me gustaría tratar, es
precisamente la globalización de la indiferencia. Indiferencia con nuestros vecinos y con Dios también
representa una tentación real para nosotros los cristianos. Cada año durante la cuaresma nosotros
necesitamos escuchar una vez más la voz de los profetas que claman y perturban nuestra consciencia.
Dios no es indiferente a nuestro mundo, él lo ama de tal manera que dio a su Hijo para nuestra salvación.
En la Encarnación, en la vida terrenal, muerte, y resurrección del Hijo de Dios, la barrera entre Dios y el
hombre, entre el cielo y la tierra, se abre de una vez para todos. La Iglesia es como la mano que abre esta
barrera, gracias a la proclamación de la palabra de Dios, la celebración de los sacramentos y su testimonio
de la fe que trabaja a través del amor (cf. Gal. 5:6). Pero el mundo tiende a retraerse dentro de sí mismo y
cerrar la puerta a través de la cual Dios viene al mundo y el mundo viene a él. He aquí la mano, la cual es
la Iglesia, nunca debe de sorprenderse si es rechazada, aplastada y herida.
El pueblo de Dios, por lo tanto, necesita de esta renovación interior, para que no nos volvamos indiferentes
y nos retraigamos dentro de nosotros mismos. Para llevar más allá esta renovación, quisiera proponer
para nuestra reflexión tres textos bíblicos:
“Si un miembro sufre, todos sufren juntos” (1 Cor. 12:26) – La Iglesia
“¿Dónde está tu hermano?” (Gen. 4:9) – Parroquias y Comunidades
“¡Hágan sus corazones firmes!” (Santiago 5:8) – Individuos cristianos
En las próximas semanas de cuaresma, se darán más detalles sobre lo anterior.
Hoy la Parroquia le da la bienvenida al Padre Carl Melchior, quien hablará acerca de la vocación al sacerdocio por la
Diócesis de San Petersburg.
Por la tarde en la Catedral de Saint Jude, el Obispo Lynch aceptará a los nuevos Catecúmenos y Candidatos en el Rito
de Aceptación. En el Rito de Envío en la misa de las 4:30 p.m. la Parroquia enviará a los Catecúmenos y Candidatos a
la Catedral. Una lista con sus nombres aparecerá en el boletín de la próxima semana.
Suyos en Cristo,
Padre John

El 1 de marzo, la Parroquia de St. Anne lanzará su propio App para
iPhone y Android teléfonos inteligentes. Esto nos permi>rá
comunicarnos mejor con usted a través de la semana y mantenerlo
al tanto de no>cias relevantes de la Parroquia y actualizaciones. El
App está muy bien diseñado y es muy intui>vo. Será un gran recurso para los
feligreses brindándoles lecturas de la misa diaria, no>cias católicas y oraciones,
recordatorios de oraciones y confesiones, nuestro bole]n y más. Esperamos que
nuestro nuevo App sea un instrument que fortalecerá la vida parroquial en
St. Anne.
