WORD FROM THE PASTOR PALABRAS DEL PARROCO

Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

This fifth Sunday of Lent of the Year of Faith brings with it the news of Pope Francis who became the successor of Peter last Wednesday and will solemnly celebrate the beginning of his pon-tificate next Tuesday, March 19th, solemnity of St. Joseph, hus-band of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patron of the universal Church.The day after his election, the new Pope celebrated Holy Mass together with the cardinal electors in the Sistine Chapel, just like Benedict XVI had done almost eight years ago. On that occasion, Francis delivered an inspiring and prophetic homily based on the readings proclaimed, taken from the book of the prophet Isaiah (Is 2:2-5), the first letter of St. Peter (1 Pt 2:4-9) and the Gospel according to St. Mathew, chapter 16, namely the confession of St. Peter, his profession of faith and his primacy. I offer the complete text of Francis’ first homily, because it seems to me that what he says to the cardinals is appropriate for each and every one of us and because beyond the media hype and noise, this homily can be seen as his program for the Church.

“There is something that I see that these three readings have in common: movement. In the first reading it is the movement of a journey; in the second reading it is the movement in building the Church; in the third, the Gospel, it is the movement of confession. Journeying, building, confessing.

Journeying. “House of Jacob, come, let us walk together in the light of the Lord” (Isaiah 2:5). This is the first thing that God said to Abraham: Walk in my presence and you will be blameless. Journey: our life is a journey and when we stop it does not go on. Journey always in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, seeking to live with that blamelessness that God asked of Abraham in his promise.

Building. Building the Church. Stones are spoken of: the stones have a consistency, but they are the living stones, stones anointed by the Spirit. Building the Church, the Bride of Christ, upon that cornerstone that is the Lord himself. Building is another form of movement in our life.

Third, confessing. We can journey as much as we want, we can build many things, but if we do not confess Jesus Christ, the thing does not work. We will become a welfare NGO but not the Church, the Bride of Christ. When we do not journey, we stop. When we do not build upon the stones, what happens? Everything collapses, loses its consistency, like the sandcastles that children build on the beach. When we do not confess Jesus Christ, I am reminded of the words of Léon Bloy: “Whoever does not pray to the Lord, prays to the devil.” When we do not confess Jesus Christ, we confess the worldliness of the devil, the worldliness of the demon.

Journeying, building-constructing, confessing. But it is not that easy, because in journeying, in constructing, in confessing, there are problems, there are movements antithetical to the journey: they are movements that take us backward.This Gospel continues with an important moment. The same Peter who had confessed Jesus Christ said to him: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. I will follow you, but let’s not talk

about the cross. This is not a part of it. I will follow you in other directions, but not to the cross. When we journey without the cross, when we build without the cross and when we confess a Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord: we are worldly, we are bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, but not disciples of the Lord.

I would like for us all, after these days of grace, to have courage, precisely the courage, to walk in the Lord’s presence, with the cross of the Lord; to build the Church upon the blood of the Lord, which was poured out on the cross; and to confess the only glory there is: Christ crucified. And in this way the Church will go forward.It is my wish for all of us that the Holy Spirit – through the prayer of Our Lady, our Mother – bestow upon us the grace of journeying, building, confessing Jesus Christ crucified. Amen”

Francis is proposing to us anew the program of the Gospel, the program that brings the fullness of life: to walk in the light of the Lord, to build on the foundation of Christ, to proclaim Christ crucified.In the Gospel today, we also see the Lord Jesus exhorting us to be-gin to move. “Go and sin no more” he tells the woman caught com-mitting adultery. These words echo in our hearts in a particular way at this time. We too are called to walk, to be in motion, avoiding sin in order to walk together with Christ, building up the Kingdom of God and confessing, presenting Jesus Christ to the world, through the witness of our Christian lives, our virtuous lives.May the Lord grant us the grace to walk together with Fran-cis, who is Peter, and under his guidance, holding hands with the Blessed Virgin Mary, looking intently at Christ, so that we can cooperate in the construction of the Kingdom of God, confessing with virtuous lives, lives of Faith, the One who became sin for us in order to redeem us and lead us to the fullness of Life!

Queridos hermanos en Cristo:

El quinto domingo de Cuaresma del Año de la Fe nos trae la novedad del Papa Francisco que se convirtió en sucesor de Pedro el miércoles pasado y celebrará solemnemente el inicio de su pon-tificado el próximo martes 19 de marzo, solemnidad de San José, esposo de la Virgen María, patrono de la Iglesia universal.

Al día siguiente de su elección, el nuevo Papa celebró la Santa Misa junto a los cardenales electores en la Capilla Sixtina, tal como lo hizo en su momento Benedicto XVI. En esa ocasión Francisco pronunció una homilía muy inspiradora y profética basada en las lecturas que se proclamaron, que fueron tomadas del libro del Pro-feta Isaías (Is 2:2-5) de la primera carta de San Pedro (1 Pe 2:4-9) y del Evangelio según san Mateo capítulo 16: la confesión de San Pedro, su profesión de Fe y su primado. Les ofrezco a continu-ación el texto de la primera homilía de Francisco, porque me pa-rece que lo que le dice a los cardenales es apropiado para cada uno de nosotros y porque me parece que más allá del aturdimiento de los medios de comunicación, esta homilía es programática.

“En estas Lecturas veo que hay algo en común: es el mov-imiento. En la Primera Lectura el movimiento en el camino; en la Segunda Lectura, el movimiento en la edificación de la Iglesia; en la tercera, en el Evangelio, el movimiento en la confesión. Cami-nar, edificar, confesar.

Caminar. «Casa de Jacob, venid, caminemos en la luz del Se-ñor» (Is 2,5). Esta es la primera cosa que Dios ha dicho a Abrahan: Camina en mi presencia y se irreprensibile. Caminar: nuestra vida es un camino y cuando nos detenemos, la cosa no va. Caminar siempre, en presencia del Señor, a la luz del Señor, tratando de vivir con aquella irreprensibilidad que Dios pedía a Abrahan, en su promesa.

Edificar. Edificar la Iglesia. Se habla de piedras: las piedras tienen consistencia; pero piedras vivas, piedras ungidas por el Es-píritu Santo. Edificar la Iglesia, la Esposa de Cristo, sobre aquella piedra angular que es el mismo Señor. He aquí otro movimiento de nuestra vida: edificar.

Tercero, confesar. Podemos caminar todo lo que queramos, podemos edificar muchas cosas, pero si no confesamos a Jesucris-to, la cosa no va. Nos convertiremos en una ONG asistencial, pero no en la Iglesia, Esposa del Señor. Cuando no se camina, uno se de-tiene. Cuando no se edifica sobre piedras ¿qué sucede? Sucede lo que ocurre a los niños en la playa cuando hacen castillos de arena, todo se viene abajo, no tiene consistencia. Cuando no se confiesa a Jesucristo, me viene a la mente la frase de Léon Bloy: “Quien no reza al Señor, ora al diablo”. Cuando no se confiesa a Jesucristo, se confiesa la mundanidad del diablo, la mundanidad del demonio.Caminar, edificar-construir, confesar. Pero la cosa no es tan fácil, porque en el caminar, en el construir, en el confesar, a veces hay sa-cudidas, hay movimientos que no son precisamente movimientos del camino: son movimientos que nos tiran para atrás.

Este Evangelio prosigue con una situación especial. El mismo Pedro que confesó a Jesucristo, le dice: Tu eres el Cristo, el Hijo

del Dios vivo. Yo te sigo, pero no hablemos de Cruz. Esto no tiene nada que ver. Te sigo con otras posibilidades, sin la Cruz. Cuando caminamos sin la Cruz, cuando edificamos sin la Cruz y cuando confesamos a un Cristo sin Cruz, no somos discípulos del Señor: somos mundanos, somos obispos, sacerdotes, cardenales, papas, pero no discípulos del Señor.

Yo querría que todos, tras estos días de gracia, tengamos el co-raje, precisamente el coraje de caminar en presencia del Señor, con la Cruz del Señor; de edificar la Iglesia sobre la sangre del Señor, que se ha derramado sobre la Cruz; y de confesar la única gloria: Cristo Crucificado. Y así la Iglesia irá adelante.

Yo auguro a todos nosotros que el Espíritu Santo, por la oración de Nuestra Señora, nuestra Madre, nos conceda esta gracia: cami-nar, edificar, confesar a Jesucristo Crucificado. Así sea.”Francisco nos propone el programa del Evangelio, un programa de vida plena: Caminar a la luz del Señor, edificar sobre el fundamento de Cristo, anunciar a Cristo crucificado.

El evangelio de hoy también nos presenta a Jesús exhortando al movimiento. “Vete y no peques más” le dice el Señor a la peca-dora. Esas palabras encuentran un eco particular en nuestros cora-zones en estos días. A nosotros también se nos exhorta a ponernos en movimiento, aborreciendo el pecado para poder caminar junto a Cristo, edificar el Reino de Dios y confesar, presentar a Jesucristo al mundo con el testimonio de nuestras vidas cristianas, vidas vir-tuosas.

¡Qué el Señor nos conceda la gracia junto a Francisco, que es Pe-dro, y bajo su guía de caminar de la mano de la Virgen María con la mirada fija en Cristo, para cooperar en la construcción del Reino de Dios entre los hombres, confesando con nuestras vidas virtuosas, con nuestras vidas de Fe a Aquel que por nosotros se hizo pecado para redimirnos y llevarnos a la plenitud de la vida!

“When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, you will find me with you, says the Lord.” – Jeremiah 29:13-14

Join us as we read and discuss a current news event each week, then use Biblical passages to reflect upon where God is to be found and how he calls us to respond, to think and act as people of faith. More than historical text of things that happened long ago, we relate to the people and events and see their struggles and successes mirrored in our own times, our own lives. The Bible comes alive to us and inspires us to closeness with God.

For those with email, the story will be sent a day or two before class meets. For those without email, the story will be distributed at class. Please bring a Bible to class.Facilitator: Mary Sells 305-606-5990marymsells@yahoo.com

St. Patrick’s Faith-based Grief Sharing Group

Have you recently experienced the death of a loved one or are you presently dealing with a loved one’s terminal illness? If you are, you need not go through the grieving process alone. St. Patrick’s is establishing a faith-based grief sharing group which will meet once a week on Tuesday evening at 7:30pm in the conference room of the Tower. The first meeting of the group will take place on Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30pm.

The mission of St. Patrick’s grief sharing group is to help par-ticipants accept the reality of their loss; assist them as they expe-rience the physical and emotional pain of the grieving process; adjust to life without the deceased or the terminally ill loved one; and find an enduring connection with the deceased and about-to-be deceased so that the participants can move on with their life.

The group will be conducted in an open, non-judgmental and car-ing atmosphere. If you or someone you know might be interested in joining the group, please contact Arthur Gowran at arthurgow-ran@yahoo.com.
