8th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Emails. Carpools. Shopping lists. Home repairs. It can seem like

we move so quickly from one thing to the next. Our news comes

in sound bites and headlines. How often do we take time for

silence, for prayer, for reflection, for wisdom? Jesus warns us of

stumbling through life without an adequate sense of where we're

going. "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both

fall into a pit?" This Sunday's Gospel isn't about fumbling along

but offers a self-check on our own motivations.

"Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not

perceive the wooden beam in your own?" Without adequate self

-reflection, it's easy to become blind to our own faults. We go

through life's motions as our bad habits linger or even increase.

We may become increasingly impatient, we may avoid

important tasks, we may neglect the emotional needs of our

spouse. Perhaps, in the process, we find fault with those around

us. In the words of Jesus, "remove the wooden beam from your

own eye first."

So how do we know? How can we notice the hidden faults in

our lives? "A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a

rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own

fruit. A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart

produces good, but an evil person out of store of evil produces

evil." Do you notice certain relationships that have become

strained, or situations where you know you don't act your best?

Perhaps this is an area where you are acting out of sin, rather

than virtue. The truth is, all of us are a mixture of light and dark,

vice and virtue. We can't pretend we're perfect! But we also

need to take time to pause and prayerfully examine the fruit

we're bearing.

Pray for the Deceased

May They Rest In Peace

HOLY NAME SOCIETY MEETING Sunday, March 10, 2019

10:00am Nativity Church Hall

3 de marzo de 2019

VIII domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Nos estamos acercando a la Cuaresma, el próximo domingo la iniciaremos. Pero, antes debemos de pasar por el Miércoles de Ceniza. Al ser marcados en la frente con la cruz de la ceniza escucharemos las palabras del Evangelio que dicen, "Conviértete y cree

en el Evangelio". En el lenguaje del Antiguo Testamento la palabra convertirse significaba darse vuelta, girar. Veamos el siguiente ejemplo. Cuando manejas por largo rato sin dirección y de pronto te das cuenta de que te has perdido, inmediatamente te detienes y reflexionas: ¿Hacia dónde voy? ¿Qué rumbo tomare? ¿Cuál es el camino correcto? El Miércoles de Ceniza es eso precisamente, detenerte para girar el corazón hacia Dios. Jesús, lo explicaba de esta forma: "¿Puede un ciego guiar a otro ciego? Ciertamente caerán ambos en algún hoyo." (Lucas 6:39). Hoy se trata de fijarnos bien hacia donde queremos llegar; Sin falsedades, ni hipocresías. Si somos de parte del pueblo fiel, de los católicos comprometidos que dan frutos buenos, hay que demostrarlo con palabras y hechos. Tres cosas se invitan a practicar durante Cuaresma: oración, limosna y ayuno. Ojalá que en la oración el centro sea Dios, en la limosna el necesitado y en el ayuno el dominio de uno mismo. La Iglesia en su sabiduría nos da este tiempo de misericordia para sacar todo lo bueno de la persona, para abrir el corazón a la humildad y la sencillez. No vaya a ser que en la confusión del egoísmo el Señor diga, "Por qué me llaman: ¡Señor! ¡Señor!, y no hacen lo que digo” (Lucas 6,46).

CON DIOS Y RECIBIR

LA SABIDURÍA.

PARA CONOCERNOS A

NOSTROS MISMOS Y

ENCONTRAR NUESTRA

FELICIDAD Y

COMPARTIRLA.

PARA COMPARTIR TODO LO QUE DIOS NOS DA.

DIVIDE LAS PENAS A LA MITAD Y MULTIPLICA

NUESTRA ALEGRÍA. LA LIMOSNA NO ES UN ACTO

DE DESPRENDIMIENTO ES UN COMPARTIR DE

DICHA.

EL AYUNO

PARA RECORDAR Y SOLIDARIZARNOS CON LOS

QUE SUFREN. PARA DEJAR DE PENSAR EN AUTO

COMPLACERNOS, PORQUE UN POCO DE HAMBRE

NOS HACE APRECIAR LA SACIEDAD QUE A DIARIO

TENEMOS.

LA COFRADÍA DEL SAGRADO CORAZÓN DE JESÚS

Si el Señor no construye la casa en vano trabajan los albañiles, Si el Señor no protege la ciudad, en vano vigila el centinela. Vamos a ponernos a órdenes del Señor, para que sea Él quien cuide de nuestra casa y vigile nuestra ciudad.

Les recordamos a quienes empezaron el pasado 17 de febrero la Consagración a San José, que la misa de consagración será el sábado 16, a las 7:00pm. Se recitara la Oración de Consagración a San José y el sacerdote entregara los escapularios.

6 DE MARZO MIÉRCOLES DE CENIZA Con la imposición de la Ceniza en la frente en forma de cruz, comenzaremos el camino de Cuaresma; 40 días de oración, ayuno y limosna que nos llevarán a la Pascua. Es un tiempo para mirarnos interiormente y ver cómo vivimos nuestra vida cristiana. Horario de distribución en Nativity: Misas de 7:00am y 9:00 am, y por la tarde a las 3:00pm y 7:00pm, y en St. Stanislaus: Misa Polaca de 7:00pm

MIÉRCOLES DE CENIZA

6 de marzo de 2019 ¡Ayuno, oración y limosna!

Con EL MIÉRCOLES DE CENIZA inicia

la Cuaresma. En las lecturas de hoy, el

profeta Joel anuncia que Dios nos quiere

acoger en su propio corazón, aunque nos

hayamos apartado de su senda. San Pablo

nos invita a convertirnos en embajadores

de la reconciliación que brota de la paz

que Cristo resucitado nos ofrece. Nuestra misión es hacer las

paces con Dios y nuestro prójimo. El Evangelio, como todos los

años, nos muestra la manera en que hemos de caminar juntos y

los medios que han de preparar nuestras vidas para la gran

celebración pascual. Por eso, el rito de imposición de las

cenizas se convierte la señal por la cual La Palabra de Dios se

siembre en nuestros corazones, para ayudarnos a vivir la

Cuaresma en un espíritu de penitencia y generosidad. Aunque

la ceniza, como símbolo, atrae a la mayoría de los fieles, en

estas u otras celebraciones deben predominar los textos de las

Sagradas Escrituras y las reflexiones que dichos textos evocan.
