In our disappointment with our lives, the darkness seems so real and overwhelming. If we are inclined to feel demoralized at this point in our Lenten journey or even in the journey of life itself, we are invited by today’s readings to find again the source of new energy and encouragement. St. Paul announces in the second reading to those who are in danger of losing their way the astounding truth at the centre of our faith - God’s free gift to a lost world of new life in Christ: our redeemed humanity is God’s ‘work of art’, we each have our part to play in the realization of God’s great designs. We hear Jesus saying in this Sundays gospel, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life” (Jn.3:14). Jesus was referring to the incident when many Israelites died while crossing the desert due to poisonous snakes. Moses under God’s instruction made a bronze serpent and put it in a pole so that those bitten by snakes would look at it and be healed (Num. 21:9). The serpent that kills became the serpent that heals. This brings us to the cross. The cross that kills becomes the cross that saves and gives life. Jesus, the Son of Man was lifted up on the cross and died there. The gospel of John makes use of the literary style of double meaning in using the term “lifted up”. Jesus was not just lifted up on the cross. He was also lifted up to the Father by His resurrection from the dead. The cross that was the symbol of death became the symbol of life. We may go farther on our reflection. The suffering that diminishes us may be the same suffering that can magnify us. We are reminded to lift ourselves to Him for healing and look upon Him with faith, trust and confidence as always that we may not be weakened by the attacks of the devil to weigh us down, discouraged us that we may falter in our relationship with God who loves us. Yet our loving God reminds us today that He won’t abandon us even though we falter in our relationship with Him. “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that those who believe in Him my not perish but may have eternal life!” Even as a world weighed down by the darkness of failure, turned down by selfishness and sin, we must know that Jesus came from the Father, not ‘to condemn’ but to bring reconciliation and life. As we take our bearings in the middle of a long journey, we often find new purpose and energy. Reflecting at this point in our journey of Lent, on the burdens we carry, whatever they may be, can bring us to find again, in a more personal way, the essential truth of our Christian faith. While embracing our crosses, we are reminded of the cross of salvation, which lead us to the resurrection. Blessings to all and have a good week! Querida familia parroquial, Fr. Tony 4to. Domingo de Cuaresma Muchas veces en el largo caminar de la vida sentimos que nos encontramos con una situación difícil de continuar. En esa decepción con nuestras vidas, la oscuridad parece tan real y abrumadora. Si nos inclinamos a sentirnos desmoralizados en este punto de nuestro camino cuaresmal, o incluso en el viaje de la vida misma, estamos invitados por las lecturas de hoy para volver a encontrar la fuente de nueva energía y aliento. St. Paul anuncia en la segunda lectura a los que están en peligro de perder su camino, la verdad sorprendente en el centro de nuestra fe - el regalo de Dios a un mundo perdido de la vida nueva en Cristo: nuestra humanidad redimida es "obra del arte de Dios ', cada uno tenemos nuestro papel de interacción para realizar los grandes designios de Dios. Nosotros escuchamos a Jesús diciendo en el evangelio de este domingo, "Y como Moisés levantó la serpiente en el desierto, así es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado, para que todo el que crea en él tenga vida eterna" (Juan 3: 14). Jesús se refería al incidente en que muchos israelitas murieron mientras cruzaban el desierto debido a las serpientes venenosas. Moisés bajo la instrucción de Dios hizo una serpiente de bronce y la puso en un poste para que los mordidos por serpientes la miraran y serian sanados (Num. 21: 9). La serpiente que mata se convirtió en la serpiente que sana. Esto nos lleva a la cruz. La cruz que mata se convierte en la cruz que salva y da vida. Jesús, el Hijo del hombre fue levantado en la cruz y murió allí. El evangelio de Juan hace uso del estilo literario de doble sentido en el uso del término "levantado". Jesús no sólo estaba levantado sobre la cruz. Él también fue levantado al Padre por su resurrección de entre los muertos. La cruz que era el símbolo de la muerte se convirtió en el símbolo de la vida. Podemos ir más lejos en nuestra reflexión. El sufrimiento que nos disminuye puede ser el mismo sufrimiento que nos puede engrandecer. Se nos recuerda levantarnos hacia Él para la sanación y mirar a través de Él con fe, con confianza y confidencia como siempre, por lo tanto no seremos debilitados por los ataques del enemigo y abrumarnos con desanimo, que podemos fallar en nuestra relación con Dios que nos ama tanto. Sin embargo, nuestro Dios amoroso nos recuerda hoy que Él no nos abandonará, aunque fallamos en nuestra relación con Él. "Tanto amó Dios al mundo que dio a su único Hijo para que los que creen en Él no perezcan, sino que tenga vida eterna!" A pesar de que el mundo está agobiado por la oscuridad de las frustraciones, cargados por el egoísmo y el pecado, debemos saber que Jesús vino del Padre, no a "condenar", sino para lograr la reconciliación y la vida. Al retomar nuestro camino en medio de una larga jornada, a menudo nos encontramos con un nuevo propósito y nueva energía. Reflexionando en este momento de nuestra jornada de Cuaresma, en las cargas que llevamos, sean las que sean, podemos encontrar de nuevo, de una manera más personal, la verdadera esencia de nuestra fe cristiana. Mientras abrazamos nuestras cruces, se nos recuerda de la cruz de la salvación, que nos lleva a la resurrección. Bendiciones para ti y que tengan una buena semana! Padre Tony ST.

Church Candle Birthday Celebration Sherry Paschal By: Paschal Family Chapel Candle In Loving Memory of Rosa Villarreal By:Rosie Molina MARCH 15, 2015 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION 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. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
