2 THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT 2 FEBRUARY 28, 2016 Jesus makes quite clear that suffering does not always come directly from personal sin. When we suffer, it is not uncommon that we ask ourselves if God is angry with us. We can ask ourselves if we have done something wrong. Or, there is the often-heard: "What did I do to deserve this?" This weekend, Jesus turns our focus towards what is far worse than any suffering we can possibly experience in this life. He speaks of the eternal damnation that we can suffer in the next life as a result of our sins in this life. The words of Jesus are like cold water that splashes our face. They are a sobering call that wake us up to the reality that we can truly lose everything that we are and have if we fail to persevere in a life of repentance and holiness. Lent is a time to take this lesson a bit more seriously. We should also be grateful that Jesus has given us this time to repent and that it is not too late for us and our loved ones who are still with us. Let us also be mindful of those who are still lost in a life of decadence and darkness. As we fast, pray, and give alms for our own purification, we can also do these things for them. P.S. Speaking of doing things for others, don't forget to make plans to help with the bazaar. I won't say that you'll go to hell if you don't. But heaven knows the community needs you! Jesús deja bien claro que el sufrimiento no siempre viene directamente de pecado personal. Cuando sufrimos, no es raro que nos preguntamos si Dios está enojado con nosotros. Podemos preguntarnos si hemos hecho algo mal. O bien, es común escuchar: " Qué hice para merecer esto? Este fin de semana, Jesús dirige nuestra atención hacia lo que es mucho peor que cualquier sufrimiento que podamos posiblemente experimentar en esta vida. Habla de la condenación eterna que podemos sufrir en la próxima vida como resultado de nuestros pecados en esta vida. Las palabras de Jesús son como el agua fría que nos salpica la cara. Son una llamada que nos despierta a la realidad que verdaderamente podemos perder todo lo que somos y tenemos, si no somos capaces de perseverar en una vida de arrepentimiento y santidad. La Cuaresma es un tiempo para tomar esta lección un poco más en serio. También debemos estar agradecidos de que Jesús nos ha dado este tiempo para arrepentirse y que no es demasiado tarde para nosotros y nuestros seres queridos que todavía están con nosotros. También debemos ser conscientes de los que todavía están perdidos en una vida de decadencia y oscuridad. Al ayunar, orar y dar limosna para nuestra propia purificación, también podemos hacer estas cosas por ellos. P.S. Hablando de hacer cosas por los demás, no olvide de hacer planes para ayudar con el bazar. No voy a decir que usted va a ir al infierno si no lo hace. Pero el cielo sabe que la comunidad te necesita! RCC SCHOOL NEWS We want to THANK all the families, faculty, staff and Divina Providencia members that participated and supported Resurrection Catholic School.

3 THIRD DOMINGO DE CUARESMA 3 28 DE FEBRERO DEL 2016 Bilingual Healing Mass Wednesday, March 9 6:30pm Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore He exalts Himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him. Yes, O people in Zion who dwell at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. Isaiah 30:18-19 Though sometimes we have to wait for God s mercy to be made apparent, we still cling to hope and trust that He does hear our cries. We have the examples of the persistent widow in scripture (Luke 18:1-8) and St. Augustine s mother who prayed for many years for his conversion. In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, let us continue to call on God s great mercy and healing love, even if it is simply for spiritual healing. Father will anoint the sick after the homily and pray with people individually after Mass. Misa de Sanación Bilingüe Miércoles, Marzo 9 6:30 pm "Por tanto, el Señor espera para tener piedad de vosotros; por eso se levantará para mostrar compasión en vosotros. Porque el Señor es un Dios de justicia; Bienaventurados todos los que confían en él. Sí, pueblo de Sión que habitan en Jerusalén; no deberían de llorar mas. Ciertamente se apiadará de ti a la voz de tu clamor "Isaías 30: Aunque a veces tenemos que esperar que la misericordia de Dios se haga evidente, todavía nos aferramos a la esperanza y confianza que Él oye nuestros gritos. Tenemos los ejemplos de la viuda persistente en las escrituras(lucas 18: 1-8) y la madre de San Agustín que oro muchos años por su conversión. En este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, sigamos pidiendo a Dios por su gran misericordia y sanación de amor, incluso si es sólo para la sanación espiritual. Padre ungirá a los enfermos después de la homilía y orara con las personas en forma individual después de Misa. Catholic Relief Services Collection March 5 & 6 Next week, our parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection.

Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me (Mt 25:40).
