“If you wish,
you can make
me clean.”
Moved with
pity, Jesus
stretched out
his hand,
touched him
& said to him,
“I do will it.
Be made
clean.”
"Si quieres,
puedes
limpiarme"
Movido a
compasión,
extendiendo
Jesús la mano,
lo tocó y le dije,
"Yo hago lo hará
él. Queda
limpio ".

Reflexión Semanal
Weekly Reflection
La Necesidad de un Corazón Honesto
The Need for an Honest Heart
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos preparan para
la Cuaresma, la cual inicia este miércoles. En la Oración Colecta recordamos que Dios busca a los corazones que son “justos y verdaderos” y le hacemos la petición de “vivir de tal manera que te dignes habitar en
nosotros.” La Cuaresma es el tiempo del año que nos
llama a ver más de cerca nuestra vida. Escuchamos la
lectura del Antiguo Testamento que narra la conversación del Señor con Moisés y Aarón en referencia a los
que estaban afligidos por la lepra. En los tiempos bíblicos los leprosos eran llamados “impuros” y odiados por
la comunidad. Aunque la lepra es una enfermedad física, para nosotros ha obtenido un simbolismo. Somos
inspirados a examinar nuestra vida en busca de cualquier mancha o falta que no permite que Dios habite
dentro de nuestro corazón. San Pablo nos recuerda en
su epístola lo que debemos hacer, “Todo lo que hagan«háganlo todo para gloria de Dios.” Para poder
abrazar esta directiva, debemos seguir el ejemplo del
salmista cuando dice “perdona, Señor, nuestros pecados,” el leproso se acercó a Jesús y le dijo, “Si tú quieres, puedes curarme.” El leproso creía que Jesús lo
podía sanar. Su fe motiva a Jesús quien le dice, “¡Sí
quiero: Sana!” Nosotros tenemos la misma oportunidad. Así como el leproso verdaderamente
identifico su suplicio, nosotros también podemos ser honestos con Dios. El salmista
de hoy nos instruye que es “dichoso aquel
en el que Dios no encuentra ni delito ni
engaño.” Nos acercamos a Dios honestamente, reconociendo nuestros pecados y
proclamamos, “Sírveme de defensa, Dios
mío«Tu eres mi baluarte y mi refugio, por
tu nombre condúceme y guíame.” (Antífona
de Entrada)
Today’s readings and prayers prepare us for Lent
which begins this Wednesday. The Collect reminds us
that God abides in hearts that are “just and true” and
we pray that “we may be fashioned by [God’s] grace to
become a dwelling pleasing to [Him].” Lent is the time
of year that calls us to look closely at our lives. We
turn to the Old Testament reading which recounts the
Lord’s conversation with Moses and Aaron concerning
those afflicted with leprosy. In biblical times lepers
were called “unclean” and ostracized from the community. Although leprosy is a physical disease, it becomes
symbolic for us. We are inspired to examine our lives
in search of any faults that keep us from allowing God
to dwell within our hearts. St. Paul reminds us in the
epistle “that whatever [we] do, do every thing for the
glory of God.” To be able to embrace this directive, we
must follow the psalmist’s lead and “turn to the Lord in
times of trouble” just like the leper who “came to Jesus
and kneeling down begged him and said, ‘If you wish,
you can make me clean.’” The leper believed that Jesus could heal him. His faith moved Jesus to say “I do
will it. Be made clean.” We have the same opportunity. Just as the leper truthfully identified his plight, we
too must be honest with God. Today’s psalm instructs
that “Blessed the man to
whom the Lord imputes not
guilt, in whose spirit there is
no guile.” We must approach
God honestly, acknowledging
our sins and proclaim “Be my
protector, O God«. For you
are my rock, my stronghold!
Lead me; guide me, for the
sake of your name” (Entrance
Antiphon).

¿Sabía Usted?
Ayude a prevenir victimización de niños
Muchos asumen que los niños en riesgo de ser víctimas
son víctima de negligencia o provienen de hogares
disfuncionales. Sin embargo, todos los niños, aun
aquellos criados en familias que dan apoyo, podrían estar
en riesgo de ser victimizados. Anime a sus hijos a
buscarlo a usted inmediatamente cuando alguien lo (la)
haga sentir incómodo(a) en Internet o le hace propuestas
de encontrarse en persona. Estos son algunas señales
de que un predador en línea podría estar contactando a
su hijo o hija: su niño se desentiende o aísla de su familia
y amistades; usted encuentra material inapropiado en la
computadora; su niño recibe correo, dinero o regalos de
una persona desconocida; usted encuentra números
telefónicos desconocidos cuando revisa la factura de
teléfono.

Synod of Bishops
In preparation for the Synod of Bishops to be held in October 4–25, 2015 on “The Vocation and Mission of the
Family in the Church and Contemporary World,” the Vatican has asked the world’s bishops for a “broad consultation.” In order to facilitate the response from the Archdiocese, an on-line survey has been established that enables Catholics to respond to a set of questions that the
Vatican has proposed for reflection. The survey can be
accessed on the Archdiocesan home page: http://www.laarchdiocese.org/
or
directly
at:
http://survey.laarchdiocese.org/. Responses are to be made by Monday,
March 9 in order to be included in the report that the
Archdiocese will present to the United States Catholic
Conference.
Fr. Donald Calloway speaks as a 21st century priest in a
style that resonates with people of all ages, especially
teens and young adults about Divine Mercy, Our Blessed
Mother, and the reality of God today. Come hear his
