Welcome the Visiting Madonna While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful is to turn to the Blessed Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As human beings, we can’t do everything. But the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do wonders. The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that every family may experience visitation for one week from our Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting Madonna, please call Charles Scott at (843) 205-9341 or email him at [email protected]

This week, the Visiting Madonna will be presented to

Rhonda Harrelson & Michael Coley at the 12:00 Noon Mass.

NEXT WEEKEND SECOND COLLECTION Catholic Relief Service

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Next weekend our diocese will take The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC). Your support of this collection serves Jesus in disguise in some of the most marginalized communities in our world. Proceeds from this national collection provide services for immigrants and refugees, humanitarian aid in the wake of natural disasters, and advocacy for peace and justice around the

world. Please join in this collection to support those suffering on the margins around the world.

For example, in Central America, there are more than 1 million young people, aged fifteen to twenty-five years old, who are out of school and unemployed. Throughout the region, crime and violence run rampant. Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador have some of the highest murder rates in the world. The escalating violence stifles investment and economic growth, further limiting opportunities for jobs. These factors push young people, already discouraged by a lack of opportunity, to emigrate in record numbers. Economic opportunities are limited, and most education and employment programs do not reach the most at-risk youth, nor are the programs linked to real jobs in the market.

With your support of the CRSC, thousands of young people can participate in YouthBuild, a program that provides them necessary life skills and opportunities. YouthBuild, a part of the YouthBuild International network, provides job skills and entrepreneurship training, school re-entry, job placement, and social services. More than 5,000 young people have participated in YouthBuild, and 80 percent of its participants have found work, gone back to school, or both.

Your support of this collection makes a difference for so many around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support it this year. If you want to learn more about the collection and the people who benefit, please visit www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.

Support the collection, and answer the knock of Jesus in disguise.

In the Lord’s Peace, Most Reverend Robert E. Guglielmone Bishop of Charleston

Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar

Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma

Juan 4,5-42

Este encuentro de Jesús con la samaritana constituye uno de los relatos más luminosos del Nuevo Testamento, pues nos muestra el rostro de un Jesús profundamente humano quien, con fino sentido pedagógico, conduce gradualmente a la mujer que encuentra junto al pozo para que acoja la plenitud de la revelación de Jesús como Mesías. Delicadeza, humanidad y pedagogía son los rasgos que caracterizan este relato.

Jesús va descubriendo el misterio de su persona y de su misión a medida que desarrolla dos temas: el significado del agua y el verdadero culto a Dios. En esta catequesis junto al pozo, Jesús va revelando gradualmente su ser y su misión, y para ello se vale del simbolismo del agua: para todos los pueblos, en particular para aquellos que viven en las inmediaciones del desierto, el agua es el bien más precioso. Tenerla significa la vida; carecer de ella es sinónimo de muerte. En

la Biblia, el agua simboliza los bienes mesiánicos y la sabiduría. Jesús juega con la imagen del agua para afirmar que hay aguas que no calman la sed, y que hay otras que sí la satisfacen.

Con este juego de palabras Jesús se está refiriendo a la búsqueda que realizan los seres humanos en pos de la felicidad y del sentido de la vida. Por eso Jesús hace referencia al agua viva, que es el don de Dios, capaz de satisfacer la sed de los seres humanos que buscan desesperadamente la verdad y el amor. Además del simbolismo del agua, en su catequesis Jesús se refiere al culto a Dios: Recordemos que había una feroz competencia entre el culto que los samaritanos celebraban en su templo del monte Garizim, y el culto que ofrecían los judíos en el templo de Jerusalén. ¿Cuál es la posición de Jesús respecto a este enfrentamiento? Su posición debió escandalizar a muchos porque rompió paradigmas que se consideraban intocables: “Créeme, mujer; se acerca la hora en que ni en este monte, ni en Jerusalén daréis culto al Padre”, “los que quieran dar culto verdadero adorarán al Padre en espíritu y en verdad” Para concluir esta meditación dominical, los invito a reescribir este diálogo de Jesús; imaginemos que la interlocutora no es la mujer

samaritana sino cada uno de nosotros: Pidámosle que nos permita avanzar en su conocimiento y que no nos quedemos en algunos rasgos de su personalidad (el líder social, el poeta, el amigo, el profeta) sino que descubramos su verdadera identidad como Hijo de Dios y Mesías.

Vayamos construyendo una espiritualidad que nos permita descubrir a Dios en todas las cosas, personas y situaciones, de manera que el mundo sea como un inmenso templo en el que alabemos a Dios.

2018 ADORACIÓN SOLEMNE

DEL BENDITO SACRAMENTO DURANTE LA CUARESMA Lunes, Martes, Miércoles, Jueves y Viernes de 8:30 AM a 4:30 PM

La Bendición del Santísimo Sacramento se llevará a cabo todos los Viernes a las 4:30 PM Seguido por Las Estaciones de la Cruz. (en Ingles)

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

La próxima semana, nuestra diócesis realizará The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC). El apoyo que cada uno le dé a esta colecta servirá a Jesús con otro rostro en algunas de las comunidades más marginadas del mundo. Lo recaudado en esta colecta nacional proporciona servicios para inmigrantes y refugiados, brinda ayuda humanitaria en los casos de desastres naturales y aboga por la paz y la justicia en el mundo. Por favor, únanse a esta colecta para apoyar a aquellos que

sufren y viven al margen de la sociedad en el mundo.

Por ejemplo, en Centroamérica, hay más de 1 millón de jóvenes, de quince a veinticinco años, quienes no asisten a la escuela y están desempleados. En toda esa región prolifera el crimen y la violencia. Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador tienen unas de las tasas de homicidio más altas del mundo. La escalada de la violencia reprime la inversión y el desarrollo económico, limitando aún más las oportunidades laborales. Estos factores empujan a los jóvenes, quienes ya se sienten desanimados por la falta de oportunidades, a emigrar en números record. Las oportunidades económicas son limitadas y la mayor parte de los programas educativos y laborales no llegan a la mayoría de los jóvenes en riesgo ni los programas están vinculados a trabajos reales en el mercado.

Con el apoyo que ustedes le den a la CRSC, miles de jóvenes podrán participar en YouthBuild, un programa que les proporciona las oportunidades y habilidades necesarias para la vida. YouthBuild, que es parte de la red de YouthBuild International, les enseña habilidades prácticas para el trabajo, capacitación laboral y empresarial, re-ingreso a la escuela, colocación laboral y servicios sociales. Más de 5,000 jóvenes ya han participado en YouthBuild y el 80 por ciento de los participantes han encontrado trabajo, regresado a la escuela, o ambas cosas.

Su apoyo a esta colecta hace la diferencia para muchas personas alrededor del mundo. Por favor, en oración, consideren la manera de apoyarla este año. Si desean informarse más acerca de la colecta y de las personas beneficiadas, por favor, visiten www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.

Apoyen a la colecta y respondan al llamado de Jesús con otro rostro.

Sinceramente suyo en Cristo, Reverendisimo Robert Guglielmone Obispo de Charleston
