3 First Sunday of Lent February 18, 2018 Your ways, O L, make known to me; teach me your paths. Psalm 25:4 PEOPLE OF THE COVENANT If there is one word that stands out in today s readings, it is covenant. God s faithfulness and goodness serve as examples to us of how to live. Genesis tells the story of Noah and of God s covenant not only with all people, but with all of nature. Never will the cleansing waters of the flood bring their destructive power to all the earth again. The sign, the reminder to both God and nature, is the rainbow in the heavens. The psalm reminds us of this compassion of God, and begs God to remember us, not because of our goodness, but because of God s goodness and fidelity to the promise. God shows us how to be good, not by decree, but by example. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Holy Father usually marks the solemn opening of the Lenten fast with a procession and Mass on Ash Wednesday evening. He walks from the Benedictine monastery, San Anselmo, down the Aventine hill to the Dominican monastery of Santa Sabina. This very old tradition was revived by Pope John XXIII in the late 1950s. Have you ever wondered who gives the pope his ashes? It s the cardinal who has been given the title of the church of Santa Sabina. The pope s homily at this Mass states his theme for Lent. Santa Sabina dates from the fifth century, and is one of the most beautiful churches in Rome. One of the panels on its main doors features the Crucifixion, a scene not normally depicted in art until much later. In the year 1219 the pope gave the church to Saint Dominic for his new religious order, the Order of Preachers, commonly called the Dominicans, and it remains their world headquarters to this day. That pope, Honorius III, was a member of the Savelli family, and this church was their personal family chapel. Sabina was a wealthy Roman lady who became a Christian and was martyred, and whose home became a place of prayer. Later, the church built on that spot was dedicated to her memory. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY S READINGS First Reading God s covenant with Noah when he was delivered from the flood (Genesis 9:8-15). Psalm Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant (Psalm 25). Second Reading The water of the flood prefigured baptism, which saves you now (1 Peter 3:18-22). Gospel This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand (Mark 1:12-15). TRAINING Those who wish to hold the fortress of contemplation must first of all train in the camp of action. Pope St. Gregory the Great 3

4 Primer Domingo de Cuaresma 18 de febrero de 2018 Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos, guíanos con la verdad de tu doctrina. Salmo 25 (24):4 PERSONAS DE LA ALIANZA La palabra que sobresale en las lecturas de hoy es la palabra alianza. La fidelidad y la bondad de Dios nos sirven como ejemplo de cómo debemos vivir. En Génesis aparece el relato de Noé y de la alianza de Dios no sólo con las personas sino con la naturaleza. Las aguas purificadoras del diluvio nunca más descargarán su poder destructivo en toda la tierra otra vez. La señal, el recordatorio para Dios y la naturaleza, es el arco iris en el cielo. El salmo nos recuerda esta compasión de Dios y le implora a Dios que se acuerde de nosotros, no por nuestra bondad, sino por la bondad de Dios y su fidelidad a la promesa. Dios nos muestra cómo ser buenos, no por decreto, sino dándonos el ejemplo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La Cuaresma tiene sus raíces en la preparación para el Bautismo de adultos y en el arrepentimiento de pecadores públicos. Ambas se concentran en la conversión y en especial en los tres pilares de la misma. La Cuaresma nos da la oportunidad de encontrarnos de manera fuerte y vital con estos tres pilares: ayunar, ayudar y orar. Éstas son las prácticas cuaresmales que la Iglesia ha ido proclamando y practicando desde tiempos antiguos. Son prácticas que los cristianos deberíamos emplear todos los días de nuestra vida, pero con mayor fervor durante la Cuaresma para poder celebrar dignamente las fiestas de la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. La conversión es un proceso por el cual regresamos a participar de la vida divina que recibimos en el Bautismo. Dios Padre mandó a su Hijo para salvarnos. He allí el por qué, el ayuno, el altruismo y la oración es colaborar con Dios. Dios mismo colabora con nosotros derramando su Espíritu en nuestros corazones. Con el poder del Espíritu Santo podemos practicar el ayunar, ayudar y orar de manera vital. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura Dios estableció una alianza con Noé y sus hijos y les prometió que nunca más habría un diluvio devastador (Génesis 9:8-15). Salmo Tus sendas, Señor, son misericordia y lealtad, para los que guardan tu alianza (Salmo 25 [24]). Segunda lectura Aquella agua representaba el bautismo que ahora nos salva (1 Pedro 3:18-22). Evangelio Después de los cuarenta días en el desierto, Jesús viene a Galilea proclamando el Evangelio de Dios (Marcos 1:12-15). ENTRENARSE Los que deseen ocupar la torre de la contemplación deben ante todo entrenarse en el campo de la acción. San Gregorio Magno, Papa 4
