5th Sunday of Lent That, as God’s chosen people, we may accept and follow God’s plan to generously share our time, talent and treasure with others. What does it mean to be God’s people? It means we recognize that everything we have and everything we are belongs to God. We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts and our lives to care for our neighbors and the world, just as God cares for us.

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners,

The Greek-speaking visitors mentioned in today's Gospel had come to Jerusalem on pilgrimage to celebrate the Passover, the

most important Jewish holy day. And when they hear about Jesus, they give us one of the most beautiful prayers in the whole Bible. So simple yet so powerful. They come up to Philip and say, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus." Jesus' response is kind of confusing. Instead of just saying, "OK, show them in," he gives a long explanation of "his hour," his coming sacrifice on the cross. At first glance, this seems like a denial. But his last statement shows that actually, he is granting their request. "And when I am lifted up

from the earth," he explains, "I will draw everyone to myself." By his crucifixion, Jesus reveals himself to everyone, including these Greek visitors. Christ wants everyone to find him, to see him, to learn to know and love him - that's why he became man in the first place. And so he allows himself to be crucified, showing us both his outer and his inner self. The crucifixion exposes his heart for all to see - a heart blazing with so much love that it is willing to die for our sake, to suffer unspeakable pain and humiliation to reopen to us the gates of heaven. The crucifix is the great revelation of the heart of God. If we want to "see Christ," to see and know God, we have only to raise our eyes to behold him dying on the cross in order to give us true life. There Christ is most attractive to us - and we too are no less attractive to him when we bend under the weight of our own cross and weakness. We all really need to experience this love of Christ; otherwise the demands of our Christian life will wear us down. If we don't discover that everything God asks of us comes from his love for us, we will just see them as meaningless duties. But once we encounter the face of Christ smiling at us, the goodness of God shining upon us, then these duties turn into an exciting adventure. That's the experience of all the saints, even those who underwent excruciating martyrdom. A story about a widow illustrates this beautifully. A woman was married to a man she did not love. He made her get up every morning at five am, cook breakfast, and serve it at six o'clock sharp. He made her wait on him and was exacting in his demands on her time. Her life was made miserable trying to satisfy the requests of her husband. Finally, he died. After a few years, she married again. This time she married a man whom she really loved. One day while clearing out some old papers, she came across the strict set of rules her former husband had written out for her to obey. Carefully she read them over: "Get up at five, serve

breakfast as six sharp..." On and on she read. Then she stopped and thought for a second. It dawned on her that she was still fulfilling every single one of those demands, but she hadn't realized it, because this time she was doing it for love's sake. It is not really difficult to follow Christ and obey his commandments and teachings, if we really love him. But we can't really love him if we don't allow ourselves to experience how much he loves us. May God Bless You, Fr. Dan


CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Feligreses, Los visitantes de habla griega que menciona el Evangelio de hoy habían venido a Jerusalén en peregrinación para celebrar la Pascua, el día santo judío más importante. Y cuando oyen acerca de Jesús, nos dan una de las oraciones más bellas en toda la Biblia. Tan sencillo y tan poderoso. Vienen a Felipe y dicen, "Señor, nos gustaría ver a Jesús." ¡A Jesús!, la respuesta es algo confusa. En lugar de simplemente decir, "Háganlos pasar," él les da una larga explicación de "su hora" su próximo sacrificio en la Cruz. A primera vista, esto parece una negación. Pero su última declaración muestra que realmente, les concede su petición. "Y cuando fuere levantado de la tierra," él explica, "Yo atraeré todos a mí mismo." Por su crucifixión, Jesús se revela a todo el mundo, incluyendo a estos visitantes griegos. Cristo quiere que todos vengan a encontrarlo, a verlo, a aprender, a conocerlo y amarlo - por eso se convirtió en hombre en primer lugar. Y así permite su crucifixión, donde nos muestra su exterior y su yo interior. En la crucifixión expone su corazón a todos - un corazón ardiente con tanto amor que está dispuesto a morir por nuestro bien, a sufrir un indecible dolor y humillación para reabrir para nosotros las puertas del cielo. El crucifijo es la gran revelación del corazón de Dios. Si queremos "ver a Cristo", para ver y conocer a Dios, sólo tenemos que elevar nuestros ojos para contemplarlo muriendo en la Cruz para darnos verdadera vida. Ahí Cristo tiene más atractivo para nosotros - y nosotros también no somos menos atractivos para él cuando nos doblamos bajo el peso de nuestra propia cruz y debilidad. Todos necesitamos experimentar este amor de Cristo; de lo contrario las exigencias de nuestra vida cristiana nos desgastan a nosotros. Si no descubrimos que todo lo que Dios pide de nosotros proviene de su amor por nosotros, sólo lo veremos cómo obligaciones sin sentido. Pero una vez que encontramos el rostro de Cristo que nos sonríe, la bondad de Dios brilla sobre nosotros, entonces estas funciones se convierten en una emocionante aventura. Es decir. Es la experiencia de todos los Santos, quienes experimentaron el atroz martirio. La historia de una viuda ilustra esto muy bien. Una mujer se casó con un hombre que no amaba. Él la hizo levantarse cada mañana a las 5 am, a preparar el desayuno y servirlo a 6 am en punto. La hacía esperar él fue exigente en sus demandas sobre su tiempo. Su vida fue miserable tratando de satisfacer las peticiones de su esposo. Finalmente, el murió. Después de algunos años, se casó otra vez. Esta vez se casó con un hombre a quien ella amaba realmente. Un día mientras estaba desechando unos viejos papeles, se encontró con el estricto conjunto de reglas que su ex marido había escrito para que ella obedeciera. Con cuidado ella leyó: "Levantarse a las cinco, servir el desayuno a las seis en punto..." Leyó y leyó. Entonces se detuvo y pensó por un segundo. Se dio cuenta que ella todavía estaba cumpliendo cada una de esas demandas, pero no le importaba, porque esta vez lo estaba haciendo por el bien del amor. En realidad no es

muy difícil seguir a Cristo y obedecer sus mandamientos y enseñanzas, si realmente lo amamos. Pero realmente no podemos amarle si no nos permitimos experimentar cuánto él nos ama. Que Dios te bendiga, Fr. Dan

5º domingo de Cuaresma Para que, como pueblo elegido de Dios, podemos aceptar y seguir el plan de Dios para compartir generosamente nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro con otros. "Seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo". Jeremias 31:33 ¿Qué significa ser el pueblo de Dios? Significa que reconocemos que todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos le pertenece a Dios. No somos "dueños" de nada, somos simplemente "administradores" de los dones que Dios nos ha dado. Significa que estamos dispuestos a usar nuestros dones y nuestras vidas para cuidar a nuestros vecinos y al mundo, así como Dios se preocupa por nosotros.

OPERATION RICE BOWL - We are disciples for all nations. As

Jesus’ disciples, we are called to care for our brothers and sisters in all nations. Each year, Operation Rice Bowl invites us to pray with our families and faith communities; fast in solidarity with those who hunger; learn more about our global community and the challenges of poverty overseas; and give sacrificial contributions to those in need. Again, and during Lent, we will have little purple boxes at the exit doors to collaborate with donations which will be used to help the hungry and the poor in other countries. Please pick up your box today and return it in the Easter Sunday collection baskets.

RESPECT LIFE: God, who has a parent's care for all of us, desired that all men and women should form one family and deal with each other as brothers and sisters. All, in fact, are destined to the very same end, namely God himself, since they have been created in the likeness of God, who "made from one every nation of humankind who live on all the face of the earth." (Acts 17:26). Love of God and of one's neighbors, then, is the first and greatest commandment. Scripture teaches us that love of God cannot be separated from love of one's neighbors...It goes without saying that this is a matter of utmost importance to people who are coming to rely more and more on each other and to a world which is becoming more unified every day. - Pope Saint John XXIII, Gaudium et Spes
