Saavedra Phone 422-2015 Fax 422-0048 E-Mail: [email protected] The Mission of St. Pius X Parish is to “Restore all things in Christ” - Pope Pius X TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE With the dissipation of the catechumenate’s energy since almost everyone was born into the Church, Lent began to be seen more as a preparation to follow the Passion of Christ with devotion. In the city of Rome, creative spirits settled on “stational churches” as a way of keeping the energy flowing. Everyone would be directed to a certain “station” each day, and the name of that church provided a theme for the liturgy. So, for example, on certain Saturdays in Lent, everything centered on the church of St. Vitale. Now, this poor fellow had been thrown into a hole and covered in stones at his martyrdom, so the readings recalled Joseph thrown down the well by his brothers, and the wicked servants killing the son of the owner of the vineyard. Gradually, travelers to Rome noted the celebration and worked it into liturgical schedules back home. Eventually, calendars everywhere bore the curious footnote on a Lenten Saturday: “Station S. Vitale.” This served the priority of getting ready to hear the Passion fairly well, but was hardly satisfactory for Lent’s baptismal character. Now, at last, our liturgy is reorganized to serve the deepest level of our tradition exceedingly well. Lent, once again, is all about baptism. Los católicos en general y los latinoamericanos en particular, somos muy dados al uso de imágenes y símbolos religiosos para acercarnos a Dios o para sentirnos más cerca de él. En realidad el cristianismo entero es así, gracias a la encarnación del Hijo de Dios. Hay quienes critican el uso de imágenes, pero recordemos que Jesús usó imágenes para explicar cómo es Dios. En el Evangelio de Juan (3:14) Jesús recuerda que Moisés había hecho uso de imágenes para sanar a los hebreos. En Números 21:4-9 Dios le pide a Moisés que haga una serpiente de bronce y la levante en alto de tal forma que los hebreos puedan verla. Muchos de ellos habían sido mordidos por serpientes en el desierto y al ver la imagen de bronce sanaban, gracias a Dios. El pueblo de Israel se quedó con la imagen. No obstante, con el paso del tiempo olvidaron que era sólo una imagen y comenzaron a adorarla hasta que el rey Ezequías se vio en la necesidad de destruirla (2 Reyes 18:4). Las imágenes pueden ser útiles para recordarnos la presencia y misericordia de Dios, pero no permitamos que se conviertan en ídolos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS OBSERVANCIAS Sunday: Fourth Sunday of Lent; Second Scrutiny Tuesday: St. Patrick Wednesday: St. Cyril of Jerusalem Thursday: St. Joseph Friday: Abstinence; Spring begins Domingo: Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma; Segundo Escrutinio Martes: San Patricio Miércoles: San Cirilo de Jerusalén Jueves: San José, Esposo de la Virgen María Viernes: Abstinencia; Comienza la primavera RAISED UP BY THE MESSIAH LEVANTADOS POR EL MESÍAS 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. La semana pasada, cuando Jesús se refería a la destrucción del Templo, el relato de la primera lectura de hoy es lo que les hubiera venido a la mente a sus oyentes. 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.

Para vestirse modestamente es una señal de respeto a Dios y por los demás y a nosotros mismos. Ese una falsa suposición de que Dios no le importa cómo nos vestimos. Jesús nos dijo: "Hagas lo que hagas al más pequeño de mis hermanos, me lo haces a mí." Si nuestro atuendo es indecentemente provocativo como shorts muy cortos, blusas o vestidos sin tirantes, sin espalda, o mostrar el escote, se convierte en ofensivo para nuestros hermanos y hermanas que están adorando al Señor y por lo tanto ofensivo para la majestad de Dios. Cuando se este arreglando para venir a Misa, hágase esta pregunta: "Estoy vestido bien para estar delante de Dios?" 5 15 de marzo de 2014 Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — La ira y la misericordia del Señor se manifestaron en el exilio y la liberación del pueblo (2 Crónicas 36:14-16, 19-23) o 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a.
