Solo dos hombres sobrevivieron y pudieron nadar hasta una pequeña isla desierta. Sin saber qué hacer, decidieron rezarle a Dios, pero querían saber cuál de sus oraciones sería la más poderosa. Así pues, decidieron dividir el territorio entre dos y quedarse en lados opuestos de la isla. Lo primero que pidió el primer hombre fue comida. Al día siguiente hubo un árbol lleno de fruta en su lado de la isla y él pudo comer. En el otro lado de la isla el hombre no tenía qué comer. Después de una semana el primer hombre se sentía solo y de nuevo rezó para pedir una esposa. Al día siguiente, hubo otro naufragio y la única sobreviviente fue una mujer que pudo nadar hasta el lado de la isla del primer hombre. En el otro lado de la isla, todavía nada. Luego el primer hombre rezó para pedir techo, ropa y más comida. Cómo magia, todo se le dio. En el otro lado de la isla el segundo hombre todavía no había obtenido nada. Entonces el primer hombre pidió un barco para poder abandonar la isla él y su mujer. En la madrugada ¡encontró un barco atracado al costado de la isla! Ese día él y su esposa abordaron el barco para irse de la isla. Él consideró que el segundo hombre no merecía recibir las bendiciones de Dios ya que Dios no le había contestado ninguna de sus peticiones y lo dejó en la isla. El barco estaba a punto de salir cuando el primer hombre oyó una voz vibrante del cielo que preguntaba, “¿por qué abandonas a tu compañero en la isla?” El hombre le contestó, “Mis bendiciones me pertenecen solo a mí, ya que yo fui quien rezó por ellas. Sus peticiones no fueron contestadas.” La voz le contestó, “¡Estás equivocado! Él sólo tuvo una oración la cual le contesté. Si no fuera por eso, tú jamás hubieras recibido ningunas de mis bendiciones.” El hombre le preguntó, “Dime, ¿qué fue lo que pidió para yo deberle? La voz le contestó, “El oró para que todas tus peticiones fueran contestadas.” Puede ser que todas nuestras bendiciones no sean fruto de nuestras oraciones sino de alguien que ora por nosotros. Cuando Jesús murió en la cruz, ¡Él estaba pensando en todos nosotros!

All our life we want and we believe that our lives can be better. To achieve our goals of holiness, we need motivation and support. But why do we find it so difficult to achieve that which means “less”, focus on God “and” sacrifice? Perhaps the answer lies in our individualism. The thought we alone can achieve everything dominates us. This certainly limits not only the grace of God, but also the encouragement and helping hand of the one close to me. Some of you have already heard the news, about the tragic accident that a member of our parish family suffered, on December 14, 2014. It was a regular shopping day that changed the life of one of our students for First Communion Jose Rivas, who lost his toes on one foot. Everything happened so fast at that time ... First responders were there in no time. Now almost 3 months later, we can all reflect on how our life can change in a matter of moments. This week Jose and his dear mother came to our parish, I was very surprised to see the boy walking, because last last week when I visited him he was using a wheelchair. The reason for his visit will be amazing for many of you. Jose, his parents, and siblings, want to support the "WALK OF HOPE” sponsored by Catholic Charities Diocese of Trenton, which will be held Saturday, March 28, 2015, and whose goals are to reduce poverty, promote recovery, and strengthen families. Catholic Charities has been a trusted resource since 1913, making sure no one in crisis has had to go it alone. So, don’t participate in the Walk of Hope alone. Invite family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to join our team Our Lady of the Angel “JOSE RIVAS” by making a donation. We in our parish have been blessed with the presence of one of its most important divisions, "El Centro", under the direction of Mr. Roberto Ramirez, where a large number of our parishioners find the necessary response to their needs. Achieving our goals is not as difficult when we have the support of a helping hand, or a serious and responsible Institution on Christian principles as its foundation. Jose and his family, even in the midst of pain and suffering want to support those who are less fortunate than themselves. When we feel that the community is united in a cause like the "Walk of Hope" we know we are not alone. Doing something for others is not just a Lenten duty; it is a personal and right decision. That is why we want to invite you to join this cause. Help Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton, to continue its mission of reducing poverty, promoting recovery and strengthening families by joining the Walk of Hope. They provide everything from housing and food to addiction treatment and domestic violence services to all in need regardless of religious background and assist more than 100,000 people each year in four counties, including Mercer County. Below you will find the link to make your registration and walk with us under our Team Leader Jose Rivas! A Portion of the proceeds will go to "El Centro". Questions? Contact Jenn Leip at 609-394-5181, ext. 1137. You can also register next week after all our weekend Masses. http://cctrenton.cctrenton.dojiggy.com/ Fr. Cesar Rubiano 594 08 March 2015 WAY OF THE CROSS (BILINGUAL) 6:30PM Every Friday during Lent Immaculate Conception Church The Lectio Divina will be held in the sacristy at ICC on Fridays during Lent. English at 6pm before the Way of the Cross, Spanish after the service. LENTEN REGULATIONS Here is what the Catholic Church in the United States asks of us as baptized Catholics: 1. The next day of fast (only one meal) and abstinence (no meat) is GOOD FRIDAY (3rd April 2015) 2. The other Fridays of lent are DAYS OF ABSTINENCE (No meat). Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast (only one full meal) as above. From the age of 14, people are also obliged to abstain (no meat: this obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but not eggs, milk products or condiments of any kind, even though made from animal fat). The obligation, the privilege really, of receiving the Eucharist at least once a year -- often called “Easter duty” --- for those in the state of grace should still be fulfilled during the period from the First Sunday of Lent, February 22nd to Trinity Sunday, May 31st, 2015. MEMORIAL OF ST. PATRICK The Parish Community of Our Lady of the Angels will celebrate the traditional Mass in Irish and English, on Tuesday, 17 March 2015 at 12:15PM at Immaculate Conception Church. Msgr. Michael Walsh will be the main celebrant. Any further information please call Rosemary McKeever at (609) 588-0482. Please come out and support this wonderful tradition of our Parish. A collection to support our parish will be taken up at the Mass. Di te dice il mio cuore: “Cercate il suo volto”. Il tuo volto io cerco, o Signore. Non nascondermi il tuo volto. (Sal 27,8-9) Page Three IL SIGNIFICATO DEL NOSTRO LA VIA DELLA LIBERTA’ La maggior parte di noi, se ci fosse chiesto “Appare nella Bibbia la frase “I Dieci Comandamenti”, probabilmente sbaglieremmo, perche’ la risposta e’ “no”. “I Dieci Comandamenti” e’ una frase dopo la Bibbia, una frase che si sviluppo’ insieme ad un’immagine di Dio come poliziotto che non si trova nel brano di oggi dall’Esodo La chiave e’ la prima frase: Dio e’ colui che ci libera dalla schiavitu’; seguire la legge o i comandi di Dio e’ la nostra via verso la liberta’. I cambiamoneta che Gesu’ scaccio’ dal tempio non trasgredivano alcuno dei comandamenti, ma nemmeno aiutavano il popolo a trovare la via della liberta’ quando veniva a pregare nel Tempio. Questa e’ un’importante lezione della Quaresima per noi. Dobbiamo fermarci dal chiederci se trasgrediamo o no specifiche regole ed esaminare la nostra vita per vedere se veramente stiamo seguendo una via verso la liberta’ di Dio attraverso Cristo. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME Begins this Sunday, March 8, 2015, 2:00am, and ends Sunday, November 1, 2015, 2:00am. Don’t forget to turn your clocks one hour ahead before going to bed on Saturday.

Thank you for your collaboration. 594 READING OF THE DAY THE PATH TO FREEDOM Most of us, if we were asked “Does the phrase ‘the Ten Commandments’ appear in the Bible?” would likely get it wrong, because the answer is “no.” “The Ten Commandments” is a post biblical, phrase that developed along with an image of God as police officer that is not found in today’s passage from Exodus. 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 moneychangers 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 Reading: Job 7:1-4; Second Reading: Corinthians 9:16-19; Gospel: Mark 1:29-39 The law liberates and leads us to freedom. It is to be trusted for it is a source of wisdom. Jesus speaks of the ultimate freedom to be won for us by his being raised up. He is the sign of the power and wisdom of God. From ORDO 2015 REFLECTION QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK ADULT: What kinds of ager are justified for a follower of Jesus? CHILD: Why was Jesus angry? How do you show respect for God’s house? My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues my feet from the snare. Turn to me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and poor. (Cf. Psalm 25 (24):15-16 594 8 de Marzo de 2015 Página Cinco Desde el comienzo de nuestro caminar en Cuaresma, con el signo de la cruz en nuestra frente, hemos escuchado, -al menos en nuestro ámbito cristiano’, la importancia del ayuno, la oración y el sacrificio. Todos en nuestra vida queremos y creemos que podemos ser mejores. Para alcanzar nuestras metas de santidad, debemos igualmente manejar ésta motivación. Pero por qué se nos hace tan duro lograr aquello que implica “dejar de”, “responder a Dios”, y “sacrificarnos”? Quizá la respuesta está en nuestro individualismo. El pensar que por sí solos podremos lograr todo aquello que nos propongamos. Esto limita ciertamente no sólo la Gracia de Dios, sino también el apoyo y la mano amiga de quien está a mi lado. Algunos de ustedes se enteraron por las noticias o los periódicos, del trágico accidente que sufrió una familia miembros de nuestra Parroquia, el pasado 14 de diciembre. Un día común de compras, cambió la vida del niño José, quien perdió los dedos en uno de sus pies. Todo fue rápido en ese momento…La pronta atención brindada fueron decisivos. Ahora casi 3 meses después, todos podemos reflexionar en como un instante nos cambia la vida. Esta semana José y su querida mamá vinieron a nuestra Parroquia, cuál fue mi sorpresa al ver al niño caminando, pues hasta la semana anterior seguía usando su silla de ruedas. La razón de su visita será increíble para muchos de ustedes. José, sus padres y hermanos, quieren apoyar la “CAMINATA DE LA ESPERANZA”, de Las Caridades Católicas Diócesis de Trenton, que se realizará el próximo Sábado, 28 de marzo 2015, y cuyos logros son reducir la pobreza, promover la recuperación del individuo en todos los aspectos y fortalecer a las familias. Podrán registrarse la próxima semana después de Misa. Caridades Católicas, desde 1913, quiere seguir devolviendo la confianza para que aquellos que sufren una crisis, no sientan que están solos. De ahí, se desarrollaron muchísimos programas para proporcionar alimentos, asistencia financiera, consejería y apoyo individual y familiar. Nosotros en nuestra Parroquia hemos sido bendecidos con la presencia de uno de sus proyectos más importantes, con “El Centro”, bajo la dirección del Sr. Roberto Hernández, en donde un gran número de nosotros hemos podido encontrar una respuesta oportuna y necesaria en nuestra vida. Lograr nuestras metas no es tan difícil cuando contamos con el apoyo de una mano amiga, o una Institución seria, responsable y con principios cristianos. José y su familia, aún en medio del dolor y el sufrimiento que continua, quieren apoyar a aquellos que son menos afortunados que ellos. Cuando sentimos que la comunidad se une en una causa como la “Caminata de la Esperanza”, sabemos que no estamos solos. Dios no nos creó como islas, sino como un CUERPO. Hacer algo por otros no solo es un deber cuaresmal, es un bien personal. La fuerza que crea una fe colectiva es mayor que la de un esfuerzo propio. Es por esto que los quiero invitar para que se unan a ésta causa. Aquí encontrarán el link para que hagan su registración y caminen con nosotros y nuestro Capitán Jose Rivas, por qué otros necesitan tener esperanza! Parte de los recaudos se destinarán a las obras y labor de “El Centro”. Cualquier pregunta pueden llamar a nuestra oficina o a las oficinas de El Centro al 609-394-2056. http://cctrenton.cctrenton.dojiggy.com/ Padre Cesar Rubiano Página Seis Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma PRÓXIMOS EVENTOS Mar. 17 Mar. 19 Mar.20/21 Mar. 25 Memoria de San Patricio Solemnidad de San José Retiro de Confirmación SJC Solemnidad de la Anunciación del Señor VÍA CRUCIS Todos los viernes de Cuaresma, en la Iglesia Inmaculada Concepción empezando el viernes 20 de febrero de 2015 Lectio Divina en español al terminar el Vía Crucis a las 6:30PM bilingüe.

NORMAS DE LA IGLESIA DURANTE LA CUARESMA Este tiempo que culmina el Jueves Santo (2 de abril), es un tiempo de penitencia, sacrificio, oración y caridad cristiana. Las siguientes son normas específicas de nuestra Diócesis durante la temporada de Cuaresma: 1. Los días de ayuno y abstinencia siguiente es Viernes (Santo 3 de abril) 2. Todos los viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia, es decir que toda persona de 14 años o mayor no deberá comer carne, ni salsas hechas con carne. 3. Los viernes del año, fuera del Tiempo de Cuaresma son designados días de penitencia, (algún tipo de sacrificio voluntario como abstinencia de carne u otros). Aquellas personas entre los 18 y 59 años de edad están obligadas a ayunar, es decir, podrán comer sólo una comida completa al día. Si gozan de buena salud, los mayores de 59 años pueden también hacer este sacrificio. Tengo los ojos puestos en el Señor, porque él me libra de todo peligro. Mírame, Dios mío y ten piedad de mí, que estoy solo y afligido. (Salmo 24, 15-16) 594 LECTURA DEL DÍA CAMINO A LA LIBERTAD La mayoría de nosotros, si nos preguntaran “¿Aparece la frase ‘los Diez Mandamientos’ en la Biblia?” daríamos la respuesta errónea, pues la respuesta es “no”. “Los diez mandamientos” es una frase post-bíblica, que se desarrolló junto con una imagen de Dios como ‘policía’ la cual no se encuentra en el pasaje de hoy del libro del Éxodo. 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. ADELANTO DE HORARIO: Les recordamos que este domingo 8 de marzo los relojes se adelantarán una hora por el horario de verano. No se olvide de adelantar su reloj antes de acostarse el sábado.

Not knowing what to do, they decided to pray to God, but wanting to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The 1st thing the 1st man prayed for was food. The next morning, there was a fruit bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat the fruit. On the other side of the island, that man had no food. After about a week, the 1st man was lonely and prayed for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor, a woman, swam to his side of the island. On the other side of the island, still nothing. The 1st man then prayed for housing, clothes and more food. Like magic, all of this was given to him. However, the 2nd man still had nothing. The first man then prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, a ship was docked at his side of the island! That morning, he and his wife boarded the ship to leave the island. He considered the 2nd man unworthy to receive God’s blessings and left him behind as none of his prayers were answered. As the ship was about to leave, the 1st man heard a booming voice from above, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?” The man answered, “My blessings are mine alone, since I prayed for them. His prayers were unanswered!” “You are mistaken! He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings,” the voice from above advised. “Tell me, what did he pray for that I should owe anything?” “He prayed that all your prayers be answered,” the voice answered. For all we know our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. When Jesus died on the cross, He was thinking of all of us! ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA: Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you as you deserve; To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil and not to seek for rest; To labor and not to ask for reward; Save that of knowing that I do your will. 594 08 March 2015 Page Eleven OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS PARISH ORGANIZATION & COMMUNITY PARISHES NEWS ATTENTION ALL ORGANIZATIONS Easter Transmission schedule There will be an early deadline for the upcoming bulletin; items for the weekend of 4/5 April should be submitted no later than Thursday, 26 March.
