2 FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT 2 MARCH 6, 2016 Sisters and Brothers, Last Friday we had confessions open from 6pm to 11pm. Quite a few came to confession and it was a joyful time. For some it would be impossible to go to confession because of sickness or they are working the late shift. For others, however, the obstacles of fear or complacency pose greater challenges to crossing the doorway of the confessional, which is an oasis of mercy. One of those fears would be fear of the priest. "What would he say?" "What would he think of me?" Sometimes this fear even influences a person's understanding of confession and leads them to make false rationalizations. So they would say, "I don't have to go to confession if I can go to God directly." Yet, we know that Jesus made the Apostles the dispenser of God's mercy and forgiveness. St. Paul, in today's first reading, recognizes this when he calls himself an Ambassador of God's mercy. Going back to the fear of the priest, I would like to quote Tertullian, an ancient theologian. He was also addressing fear of confession (maybe its consoling to think that hundreds of years ago people were also afraid of confession). Tertullian speaks of the perceived danger of telling someone else your sins. But then he speaks of the difference of going to your brother, the priest. "But among brethren and fellow-servants, where there is common hope, fear, joy, grief, suffering, because there is a common Spirit from a common Lord and Father, why do you think these brothers to be anything other than yourself? The body cannot feel gladness at the trouble of any one member, it must necessarily join with one consent in the grief, and in laboring for the remedy. In a company of two is the church; but the church is Christ. When, then, you cast yourself at the brethren s knees, you are handling Christ, you are entreating Christ" (ANF-CE3, Ch. 10). To sum up the quote, we priests are your brothers who are also struggling sinners. We have been set aside to be there for you. We are like the father waiting for his son's return with great anguish and longing. Let us all learn to rush to confession and to go regularly (once a month or so), even if we have no serious sins to confess. Hermanas y Hermanos, El Viernes pasado tuvimos confesiones de 6pm a 11pm. Muchos personas llegaron a la confesión y fue un momento muy agradable. Para algunos sería imposible ir a la confesión por razones de enfermedad o porque están trabajando un turno tarde. Para otros, sin embargo, los obstáculos del miedo o la satisfacción de si mismo plantea mayores desafíos para cruzar la puerta del confesionario, que es un oasis de piedad. Uno de esos temores es el temor a el sacerdote. " Qué me dirá?" " Qué pensará de mí?" A veces este miedo incluso influye en la comprensión que una persona tiene de la confesión y les lleva a hacer falsas racionalizaciones. Así que diría: "Yo no tengo que ir a confesarme si puedo ir directamente a Dios." Sin embargo, sabemos que Jesús hizo a los apóstoles los dispensadores de la misericordia y el perdón de Dios. St. Paul, en la primera lectura de hoy, reconoce esto cuando se llama a sí mismo un Embajador de la misericordia de Dios. Volviendo al temor a el sacerdote, me gustaría citar Tertuliano, un antiguo teólogo. El también hablaba de el miedo de la confesión (tal vez es consolador pensar que hace cientos de años las personas también tenían miedo de la confesión). Tertuliano hablaba del peligro percibido de decirle a otra persona sus pecados. Pero entonces el habla de la diferencia de ir a tu hermano, el sacerdote. "Pero entre los hermanos y compañeros de servicio, donde hay común esperanza, miedo, alegría, dolor, sufrimiento, porque hay un común espíritu de un común Señor y Padre, por qué cree que estos hermanos pueden ser alguien que no sea usted? El cuerpo no puede sentir regocijo en la angustia de ninguno de sus miembros, es necesario unirse consentimiento común en el dolor y en trabajar para el remedio. En una compañía de dos es la iglesia; pero la iglesia es Cristo. Cuando, entonces, te lances a sí mismo a las rodillas de los hermanos, estás tratando con Cristo, estás entrando a Cristo "(ANF-CE3, cap. 10). En resumen, nosotros los sacerdotes somos sus hermanos quien también somos pecadores que luchan. Hemos sido puestos a un lado para estar allí para usted. Somos como el padre esperando el regreso de su hijo con gran angustia y anhelo. Vamos todos a aprender a ir con prisa a la confesión y a ir regularmente (una vez al mes o algo así), incluso si no tenemos pecados graves que confesar.

3 CUARTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA 3 6 DE MARZO 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. Spring Bazaar April 10 from 11am to 9pm Come join the fun! Help is needed in some of the food booths and silent auction. If you can volunteer for two hours please call the office at x4 or Ali DelaGarza at ali.delagarza@live.com.

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. Vengan a divertirse! Se necesita ayuda en algunos de los puestos de comida y la subasta.
