From Father Mark Mertes, Pastor:
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing com-
pared to the glory to be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
When we are wondering why things are happening to us and around us we can feel confused and abandoned. Why O Lord?! Through the prophet Isaiah, God says My word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it. St. Paul says that the suffer-ings of the present time will lead us to share in the glorious freedom of the children of God. Jesus tells a parable that speaks of the possible outcomes of a farmer who went out to sow. When I am having a crazy day the phrase “This too belongs” helps me. I learned this from the writings of Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, who teaches that the ability to step back, sit still and simply name what is going on has a powerful effect on our peace of mind. All that we experience is a piece of the puzzle that life is. Fact is, some-times we have no idea why things are happening and we have no control; all we can do is discern our appropriate response. Other times, by quietly naming what we are experiencing we can realize what God is asking us to

do and then do it. When we can prayerfully sit with all that is going on in life, we will know a serenity that will sustain us through the day. So why are we dealing with ill-
nesses? This too belongs so that God’s glory can be revealed!
Why are day to day activities try-ing to choke out our spiritual lives? So that we can prepare more fertile ground in our hearts to receive Christ.
Why do we have to deal with COVID-19? So we can bear the fruit of generosity and tenderness 100 fold.
Why are we groaning and strug-gling now? So that we can reach out for God’s redemption for us personally.
In God’s plan nothing is accidental, nothing is happenstance. God’s will is unfolding in the struggles of today so that we can live in the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Desde Padre Mark Mertes:
Considero que los sufrimientos de este tiempo presente no son nada
comparados con la gloria que se nos revelará. (Romanos 8:18)
Cuando nos preguntamos por qué nos están sucediendo cosas y a nuestro al-rededor, podemos sentirnos confundi-dos y abandonados. ¡¿Por qué, oh Se-ñor?! A través del profeta Isaías, Dios dice que Mi palabra no me volverá vacía, sino que hará mi voluntad, lo-grando el fin para el cual la envié. San Pablo dice que los sufrimientos de la actualidad nos llevarán a com-partir la gloriosa libertad de los hijos de Dios. Jesús cuenta una parábola que habla de los posibles resultados de un granjero que salió a sembrar.
Cuando estoy teniendo un día loco, la frase "Esto también pertenece" me ayuda. Aprendí esto de los escritos del Padre Richard Rohr, OFM, quien enseña que la capacidad de dar un pa-so atrás, sentarse y simplemente nom-brar lo que está sucediendo tiene un poderoso efecto en nuestra tranquili-dad. Todo lo que experimentamos es una pieza del rompecabezas que es la vida. El hecho es que a veces no tene-mos idea de por qué están sucediendo las cosas y no tenemos control; todo lo que podemos hacer es discernir nuestra respuesta apropiada. Otras ve-ces, al nombrar en silencio lo que estamos experimentando, podemos darnos cuenta de lo que Dios nos pide
Limpieza de la Iglesia La limpieza de la iglesia a sido pospuesta.

que hagamos y luego hacerlo. Cuando podamos sentarnos en oración con to-do lo que sucede en la vida, conocere-mos una serenidad que nos sostendrá durante el día. Entonces, ¿por qué estamos lidian-
do con enfermedades? ¡Esto tam-bién pertenece para que la gloria de Dios pueda ser revelada!
¿Por qué las actividades cotidianas intentan ahogar nuestras vidas es-pirituales? Para que podamos pre-parar un terreno más fértil en nues-tros corazones para recibir a Cristo.
¿Por qué tenemos que lidiar con COVID-19? Para que podamos dar el fruto de la generosidad y la ter-nura 100 veces.
¿Por qué estamos gimiendo y lu-chando ahora? Para que podamos alcanzar la redención de Dios para nosotros personalmente.
En el plan de Dios, nada es acciden-tal, nada es casualidad. La voluntad de Dios se está desarrollando en las luchas de hoy para que podamos vivir en la gloriosa libertad de los hijos de Dios.
