LIVE BY THE RULES

Life might be easier if there were just a list of rules that we could follow. There is such a list in Exodus. Rules offer the false sense of security that if we follow them then we will have done enough. Our Christian faith, however, is rooted not in rules, but in Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection defy all the rules. Jesus knew that strength is born of weakness and wisdom born of foolishness. Jesus' life embodies that paradox. What Jesus knew when he went up to Jerusalem and entered the temple area was that his Father's house had been made a marketplace, a place of commerce, transactions, and exchange of goods for money. What the temple represents, who Jesus is, is a relationship, an ongoing relationship of one soul to another, of our souls to God.

Weekly Reflection

Today I will thank God for sending His Son for my sins.

Next week, our parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC). Funds from this collection help provide food to the hungry, support to displaced refugees, and bring Christ’s love and mercy to all people here at home and abroad. Next week, please give generously to the CRSC, and help Jesus in disguise. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.

LOS DESIGNIOS DE DIOS

En uno de los pasajes más escuetos y poéticos en su carta a los corintios, Pablo anuncia que "predicamos a Cristo crucificado. . . [porque] para los llamados. . . Cristo es la fuerza y la sabiduría de Dios" (1 Corintios 1:23, 24). Los designios de Dios parecen irrazonables para los que quieren un dios falso y valores munda-nos. Pero Cristo, en su crucifixión, desconcierta el razonamiento tanto de los hambrientos de poder como de los que creen que lo saben todo. En una contundente denuncia de la estrecha mente de sus escuchas, hoy Jesús desbarata sus planes literal y figurativamente. En su reverencia por la casa de Dios, les deja saber claramente que lo que están haciendo es vulgar e insulta a Dios. Luego intenta abrirles sus débiles mentes con su comprensión del poder y la sabiduría de Dios que es la cruz. Para ellos parece debilidad y estupidez. Pero el generoso sacrificio de Jesús es exactamente lo que completa la alianza que simboliza el templo. El nuevo Templo es el propio cuerpo y sangre de Cristo.

¿Sabías que…? Tus regalos a Nuestro

Llamado Católico promueven la unión entre las familias y las acerca a Dios. El Papa Emérito Benedicto XVI, describió a la familia como “la primera institución esencial para la enseñanza de la paz”. Queremos nutrir la fe de nuestras familias y apoyarlas cuando estas se enfrentan a los retos de nuestro mundo desafiado moralmente.

Las oportunidades incluyen apoyar a las parroquias con programas de enriquecimiento del matrimonio al mismo tiempo que recursos diseñados para enfrentar las necesidades únicas de las de segundas familias y familias con un solo padre o madre.

40 maneras de la Misericordia Durante la Cuaresma, recordamos nuestro llamado a la ora-ción, el ayuno y la limosna. Para ayudar a los católicos a entrar en este tiempo de reflexión más plenamente, Caridades Católi-cas de la Florida central ha preparado el 2018 40 maneras de calendario de la misericordia. Este recurso tiene maneras prác-ticas, espirituales e inspiradoras de compartir el amor de Dios a través de la oración, el servicio y la limosna. Visite CFLCC.org para descargar su copia.
