†Raul E. Gutierrez

VIA CRUCIS En la devoción del Vía Crucis (el ca-mino de la cruz) se recorren los momentos más sobresalientes de la Pasión y Muerte de Cristo: desde la oración en el huerto hasta la sepultura de su cuerpo (“Vía Cru-

cis según los relatos evangélicos”). Pero ésta historia no acaba en un sepulcro, nos lleva a la mañana de la Resurrección. El Vía Crucis se celebra de lunes a viernes a las 7:45 am. Inicia el miércoles de ceniza. __________________________________________ LIGHT “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light” (Ephesians 5:14). We are at the midpoint of our Lenten journey of conversion. As always, God never gives up on us, especially those who have “fallen asleep” along the road to conversion. The most powerful stories of conversion are proclaimed during these final weeks of Lent. They have the power to shake us out of our sleep. Today’s Gospel story of the healing of the man born blind exposes the real blindness in the time of Christ—the blindness of the self-righteous religious leaders. In a few weeks, at the Easter Vigil, the Church will proclaim “Christ our Light” as the pas-chal candle is carried into darkened churches throughout the world. May the darkness of sin that still pervades our lives, communities, and world, be dispelled by the Christ who comes to bring sight to the blind and light to the world. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CARIDAD Si verdaderamente quieres ayudar a tu prójimo, tú primero debes acercarte a Dios con todo tu corazón. Píde-le que te enseñe a ser caritativo, la virtud más grande de todas; con esta virtud puedes realizar todo lo que te pro-pongas. —San Vicente Ferrer
