FAMILY PERSPECTIVE Failure to forgive blinds us to another’s goodness. Lent provides an opportunity to wash away our blind-spots in the pool of forgiveness. Listen to Jesus in today’s gospel: “Go wash and see.”

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Fourth Sunday of Lent: Searching for Sight
...And the common everyday woman or man, the elderly lady who devotes her life to prayer, the young family who makes tremendous sacrifices to provide a Catholic home for their children, the Teen who stays away from the party everyone is talking about because he or she knows there is going to be abundant amounts of alcohol and drugs there, these are the people the arrogant call blind. But these everyday people, everyday prophets if you will, these are really the people who have sight.
The drama of John 9, the Man Born Blind, is the story of a simple man open to God’s presence and arrogant men who cannot see the Christ standing right before them. The blind man is the one with sight. The Pharisees, those great luminaries and self-proclaimed intellectuals, are blind.
Little has changed in the world. We go to work, to school, and the so-called intellectuals belittle us because we are people of faith. But those who mock us cannot answer the questions that matter: What is life really about? What is the purpose for all of our struggles? Can lasting happiness ever be found? Does it exist? Where is it? These self styled intellectuals cannot answer these questions. But we can. Life is about God who gave us life. We exist to love, honor and serve Him. With God as our center, every aspect of our life has meaning and purpose. His love is experienced in the love of our families, of our marriages, of our Church family. We experience His Love in each other. There is so much more to life than the physical, the here and now. The spiritual is real. Happiness does exist. It comes from union with God. No one can take this happiness from us. Even those who are persecuted for their faith remain at peace with the Lord. People like St. Maximilian Kolbe, starving to death in the concentration camp, or Ignatius of Antioch waiting for the wild beasts to be released in the Roman Coliseum or each one of us when we are mocked for our Catholic lifestyle, still remain at peace with the Lord. We possess the happiness that lasts. We pray every day for the strength and courage to keep us from sacrificing this happiness to the empty promises of those who do not know God. And we pray that others might also see…
In his exhortation the Gospel of Joy, Pope Francis calls on us to help others see our joy in Jesus Christ. It is not enough for us to call ourselves Christians. We have to bring Jesus Christ to others. Just as Jesus healed a man who was blind, we must lead others out of darkness into the Light of Christ. Pope Francis summons us to share our joy and proclaim with our lives to those who are searching: I was lost, but now I am found. I was blind, but now I see.
What joy we have in Jesus Christ! Amazing Grace. (frjoeshomilies.com)
“I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life.”

MONICION DE ENTRADA
Sed hermanas y hermanos bienvenidos a la Eucaristía de este Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma. Siempre, durante muchos siglos, se ha llamado a este domingo, el de la alegría, el domingo “laetare” que significa “alegraos”, tal como dice la antífona de entrada con la que el sacerdote inicia esta celebración. Pero es también el domingo de la Luz. Cristo nos permite ver. Cura nuestra ceguera y nos muestra la belleza del mundo que nos rodea. Jesús es luz y camino. Verdad y vida. Y para verle hay que convertirse, hacerse humilde ante quien siendo Dios se humilló para enseñarnos a vivir. La Cuaresma avanza y el próximo domingo –el quinto— ya será el último. Al siguiente comienza la Semana Santa. Seguimos, pues, subiendo la Cuaresma, camino de la Cruz y de la Resurrección. Pero iniciemos nuestra eucaristía con la máxima alegría. Alegrémonos como nos pide el Apóstol
MONICIONES SOBRE LAS LECTURAS
1ra Lectura: La primera lectura, del Libro Primero de Samuel, nos cuenta como David es ungido Rey de Israel por Samuel. Es una búsqueda minuciosa y el relato nos da muchos detalles. Es la búsqueda del bien. Luego, en el Evangelio veremos como esa minuciosidad se va a convertir en persecución.
2da Lectura Estamos en el domingo de la luz. San Pablo en su carta a los fieles de Éfeso, también invoca la luz de Cristo y nos pide que caminemos como hijos de la Luz.
Evangelio: El Evangelio de hoy, del capítulo noveno de San Juan, nos narra con todo detalle, la persecución religiosa que sufre un ciego a quien Jesús de Nazaret ha devuelto la vista. Los fariseos quieren que el ciego que ya ve acuse a Jesús de pecador. Y el ciego se convierte en juez contra sus acusadores. Ya, como un libre de pecado y enfermedad, el hombre que ha recuperado la vista reconocerá a Jesús como Mesías, como Señor de la luz y de la libertad.
Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma
ESTA SEMANA
ADORACIÓN DEL SANTÍSIMO – Miércoles a las 5:30PM JUAN XXIII – miércoles/misa a las 6:30pm y reunión a las 7:00 PM en el salón de la iglesia

Normas sobre el ayuno y la abstinencia
Originalmente, ayunar se refiere a no comer alimentos sólidos, ordinariamente se prescribe el ayuno para un día completo y la abstinencia se refiere a dejar de comer cualquier tipo de carnes.
El Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo, son días de ayuno y abstinencia. Todos los viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia de carne.
Sujeto de la ley del ayuno y la abstinencia: - Abstinencia de carne: todos los que han cumplido 14 años. La ancianidad, por sí sola, no exime de esta ley de abstinencia. - Ayuno: todos los que han cumplido 18 años, hasta el comienzo de los sesenta.
ANUNCIO IMPORTANTE!

La próxima semana tendrán los horarios para Semana Santa.
Todos los libros sacramentales, etc., se llevaran para Santa Ana cuando se mude la
Oficina Parroquial. Cuando tengamos la fecha oficial para nuestra
ultima misa, tendremos una reunión para organizar esta misa.
