2 Rectors?Column MAKINGTHEFIRSTMOVE When w e are harm ed by som eone w e som eti m es hang on to the hurt i n hopes that the offender w i ll apologi ze. After all, w e are the ones w ho w ere i njured, w e have a ri ght to an apology. As w e w ai t for the contri te heart of the other person, our ow n hearts becom e hardened w i th resentm ent, bi tterness, even hosti li ty. As som eone once sai d, w e becom e?pri soners of our ow n hardened hearts?. Although w e m ay have the ri ght to an apology, the Gospel story about the w om an caught i n adultery suggests that som eti m es w e need to m ove past ri ghts. In the story, the reli gi ous authori ti es w ere ready to act w i thi n thei r legal ri ghts w hi ch sai d the puni shm ent for a w om an caught i n adultery w as to stone her (John 8:1-11). By the law, they had every?ri ght? to sm ash that w om an?s body w i th rock s and they poi nt thi s out to Jesus. In a shock i ng m ove, Jesus does not deny thei r legal ri ght to stone the w om an, but he suggests that they, too, m i ght deserve to be puni shed because of thei r ow n si ns. Not w anti ng to fi nd out, they fled the scene. So there he w as, w i th a group w ho w ere ready to k i ll a w om an because of her si n, and they could not even stay around long enough to adm i t thei r ow n si ns. Talk about bei ng pri soners of hardened hearts. Jesus di d not say that the w om an?s si n w as alri ght. He stood there ready to forgi ve her, tak i ng the ri sk that hi s love w ould help her turn to her li fe around. He does not ask us to i gnore m i streatm ent or i njusti ce. He challenges us to look at how w e deal w i th i t. Are w e so perfect that w e can pi ck up the bi ggest rock and throw i t at those so m uch w orse than w e are w ho have w ronged us? Jesus w ants to free us from bei ng pri soners of our ow n hardened hearts that are w ai ti ng for som ebody else to m ake the fi rst m ove. The truth i s, som eone else has already m ade the fi rst m ove and that i s Jesus w ho says to us,?go i n peace, and from now on avoi d thi s si n.? Grateful for hi s forgi vi ng love, m aybe i t i s ti m e for our softened hearts to m ake the fi rst m ove of letti ng som eone w ho has hurt us go i n peace. Together i n Fai th, Fr.

4 MensajedeNuestrosRector haciendo l a pr imer a movida Cuando som os heri dos por algui en, algunas veces tenem os la tendenci a de m antenernos heri dos o senti dos con la esperanza de que la persona nos pi da perdón. Después de todo, fui m os heri dos y tenem os el derecho a que nos pi dan una di sculpa. Mi entras esperam os un corazón lleno de rem ordi m i ento de la otra persona, nuestro propi o corazón se endurece y se llena de resenti m i ento, de un sabor am argo y hasta de coraje. Com o di ce el di cho, nos converti m os en?pri si oneros de nuestros propi os corazones endureci dos?. Aunque tenem os el derecho a que nos pi dan una di sculpa, la parábola en el Evangeli o de la m ujer encontrada en adulteri o, nos i ndi ca que en ocasi ones tenem os que hacer nuestros derechos a un lado. En esta parábola, las autori dades reli gi osas estaban li stas para obrar dentro de sus derechos, los que decían que el casti go para las m ujeres encontradas en adulteri o seri a apedreadas (Juan 8:1-11). De acuerdo a la ley, ellos tenían todo el?derecho? de ti rarle pi edras a esta m ujer hasta destrui rle el cuerpo y fue esto que ellos le di jeron a Jesus. Sorprendentem ente, Jesus no les negó este derecho de ti rarle las pi edras a la m ujer, pero él les sugi ri ó que ellos tal vez tam bi én m erecían reci bi r un casti go por sus propi os pecados. Si n querer saber, ellos se fueron. Así que allí estaba el, con un grupo de personas li stos para m atar a la m ujer por su pecado y ellos ni si qui era se quedaron para adm i ti r sus propi os pecados. Esto nos da un buen ejem plo de ser pri si oneros de un corazón endureci do. Jesus no di jo que el pecado de la m ujer estaba bi en. Él se m antuvo allí li sto para perdonarla, tom ado el ri esgo de que su am or fuera sufi ci ente para que ella cam bi ara su vi da. Él no nos pi de que i gnorem os el m altrato o la i njusti ci a. Él nos reta a ver com o lo enfrentam os. Som os tan perfectos que podem os escoger la pi edra m ás grande y ti rarla a los que son peor que nosotros y que nos han hecho daño? Jesus nos qui ere li brar de ser pri si oneros de nuestros corazones endureci dos que estan esperando a que la otra persona haga el pri m er m ovi m i ento. La verdad es que algui en ya hi zo el pri m er m ovi m i ento y esa persona es Jesus qui en nos di ce,?vallan en paz, y de hoy en adelante evi ta este pecado.? Agradeci dos por su am or que nos perdona, tal vez sea ti em po para que nuestros corazones ablandados por ese am or, hagam os el pri m er m ovi m i ento y dejem os en la paz esa persona que nos hi ri ó. Uni dos en la fe, Fr. Christopher Smith, Rector Fr. Tuyen Nguyen, Vice-Rector Misa Anual del Sant o Cr isma Están i nvi tados para acom pañar a nuestro Obi spo Vann que concelebrara junto con nuestros sacerdotes de la di ócesi s al renovar sus Prom esas Sacerdotales. Durante esta celebraci ón se bendeci rá el óleo de los enferm os y el óleo de los catecúm enos, el Santo Cri sm a tam bi én será consagrado para el uso de cada parroqui a. La Mi sa se llevará a cabo en el Arboretum el lunes, 21 de m arzo a las 5:30 pm. Nuestro obi spo Kevi n Vann será el celebrante pri nci pal de la m i sa. Vengan y oren por y con nuestros sacerdotes y obi spo. Fl or es de Pascua Si le gustaría donar flores de Pascua para nuestra decoraci ón de la i glesi a, por favor de traerlas a la ofi ci na parroqui al entre el 21 al 23 de m arzo. Tenga en cuenta que la ofi ci na estará cerrada el Vi ernes Santo. Nos encantaría ver m uchas flores de pri m avera, i ncluyendo orquídeas, li ri os, hortensi as y azaleas. Tam bi én aceptam os donaci ones m onetari as. La Pascua conti nua hasta el dom i ngo, 15 de m ayo, día de Pentecostés. Sería m aravi lloso reci bi r donaci ones de flores durante toda la tem porada. Muchas graci as a todos por su conti nuo apoyo!
