Coming to Our Senses
It has been said that the one
parable that best summarizes
the overall message of the Gospel is the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Why?
Because it is as story that everyone can relate to on some level; we are all Prodigal
Sons or Daughters at some point on our spiritual journey through life.
We can look upon the distant country that
the Prodigal Son travels to as a frame of
mind, condiƟon of heart, or state of sin that
moves us away from the message of the
Gospel takes us into a place of our own making where sin becomes a way of life. Sin always comes under the disguise as something
good and desirable, even something that
might look like ““fun””. Isn’’t that the reason
why we choose it? However, sin, as we all
know, is not fun or enjoyable for long. Some
people may think sin is ““fun”” unƟl it entraps
them in an addicƟon. Other may see sin as
fun unƟl indelity destroys a marriage and a
family. Sin might be regarded as ““fun”” unƟl
greed, arrogance, or decepƟon distort and
bend someone’’s life out of shape and leave
them isolated from God and from others. Sin
might seem like it is ““fun”” unƟl it makes
someone spiritually and physically sick.
The most important moment in this parable
is the moment that the Prodigal Son ““comes
to his senses”” and realizes that he has
sinned. That awareness is what leads him to
make a life change. The Ɵmes when we can
look at ourselves and say, ““I have sinned””
are moments of great moral awakening and
spiritual maturity. Even more important that
this awareness is the decision to make a
change and ““come back home to God””. To
say ““ I have sinned”” and to make no eīort at
reconciliaƟon with God is too miss out on
the best that life has to oīer- the redempƟve grace of Jesus Christ. The path to Easter
for the Prodigal Son, and for all of us, is
found in being able to say, ““I have sinned””
and then, taking the necessary steps toward
reconciliaƟon with God.
These days, there are many Catholics who
do not come up to receive communion. It is
very sensiƟve and personal decision, and
one that is between the person and God
alone. None of us should stand in judgment
of those who do not come up for Holy Communion; I certainly don’’t. The judgment
that we can and should make is on ourselves
and we make that judgment at every Mass
before the distribuƟon of Holy Communion.
That judgment is this: ““Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul shall be
healed.””
As Catholics, we hear that ““word”” very powerfully in the Sacrament of ReconciliaƟon.
The Prodigal Son experiences this ““word”” in
the parable when he comes home and is
embraced by his father. Hopefully we all will
experience God’’s healing word in the Sacrament of ReconciliaƟon someƟme soon and
come home to the truth, to love, to forgiveness, and to Holy Communion with God
and one another. That is what ““coming to
our senses”” is all about!

La Página del Pastor
Llegando a Nuestros SenƟdos
Se ha dicho que la parábola que mejor resume
el mensaje del Evangelio es la parábola del Hijo
Pródigo. ¿Por qué? Debido a que es una historia
en la cual todo el mundo puede relacionarse en
algún nivel. Todos somos hijas e hijos pródigos
en algún momento de nuestro viaje espiritual a
través de la vida.
Podemos mirar hacia el país lejano adonde viaja
el Hijo Pródigo como un estado de ánimo, el estado del corazón, o el estado de pecado que
nos aleja del mensaje del Evangelio nos lleva a
un lugar de nosotros mismos donde el pecado
se convierte en un forma de vida. El pecado
siempre está bajo el disfraz de algo bueno y
deseable, incluso, algo que parece diverƟdo.
¿No es esa la razón por la que lo elegimos? Sin
embargo, el pecado, como todos sabemos, no
es diverƟdo o agradable por mucho Ɵempo. Algunas personas pueden pensar que el pecado
es "diverƟdo" hasta que se les encierra en una
adicción. Otros pueden ver el pecado como diversión hasta que la indelidad destruye un matrimonio y una familia. El pecado puede ser considerado como la diversión hasta que la ambición, la arrogancia, y el engaño distorsionan y
doblan la vida de alguien fuera de forma y los
deja aislados de Dios y de los demás. El pecado
puede parecer que es diverƟdo hasta que alguien se enferma espiritualmente y İsicamente.
El momento más importante en esta parábola
es el momento en que el Hijo Pródigo "viene a
sus senƟdos", y se da cuenta de que ha pecado.
Esa conciencia es lo que le lleva a hacer un cambio de vida. Los Ɵempos en los que podemos
mirar a nosotros mismos y decir: "He pecado"
son momentos de gran despertar moral y madurez espiritual. Aún más importante que esta
conciencia es la decisión de hacer un cambio y
"volver a casa con Dios". Decir "he pecado", y
no hacer ningún esfuerzo en la reconciliación
con Dios es perder lo mejor que la vida Ɵene
para ofrecer, la gracia redentora de Jesucristo.
El camino hacia la Pascua del Hijo Pródigo, y para todos nosotros, se encuentra en ser capaz de
decir: "He pecado", y luego, dando los pasos necesarios hacia la reconciliación con Dios.
En estos días, hay muchos Católicos que no vienen para recibir la Comunión. Es una decisión
muy sensible y personal, y que se encuentra entre la persona y Dios. Ninguno de nosotros debemos juzgar de los que no vienen a la Sagrada
Comunión, y yo deniƟvamente no lo hago. El
juicio que podemos y debemos hacer es en nosotros mismos y hacer ese juicio en todas las
misas antes de la distribución de la Sagrada Comunión. Este juzgamiento es el siguiente:
"Señor, no soy digno de que entres en mi casa,
pero di una sola palabra y mi alma será sanada"
Como Católicos, escuchamos "palabra" con mucha fuerza en el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. El Hijo Pródigo experimenta esta "palabra"
en la parábola, cuando llega a casa y es abrazado por su padre. Esperemos que todos experimentemos con la palabra sanadora de Dios en
el Sacramento de la Reconciliación en algún momento pronto que podamos volver a casa con la
verdad, el amor, y el perdón y a la Sagrada Comunión con Dios y entre sí. Esto es de lo que
"venir a nuestros senƟdos" se trata!

SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 2013
FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Everyone’’s invited to the party
Just as we’’ve learned that the word prodigal applies
more to the father in Jesus’’ famous parable than to the son (it is the father
who loves and forgives without counting the cost), so also the key figure in
the story may very well be the elder brother. It is easy to share his perspective: Work hard, do the right thing, and you’’ll come out on top. How quickly
he becomes sullen when reminded that his father’’s love——like God’’s rain——
falls even on his kid brother. One can feel sympathy for the elder son, selfexiled from the party. Thank goodness the parable ends with the prodigal
father still waiting for his stubborn older son to join the celebration.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Joshua 5:9a, 10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Luke
15:1-3, 11-32 (33)
““Now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was
dead and has come to life again.””
MONDAY, MARCH 11
LENTEN WEEKDAY
What’’s done is done
An inexhaustible source of human unhappiness is the ability to recall and
vividly relive painful past events. In no time at all you can find yourself digging up regrettable past events, recalling painful memories, refueling resentment over some slight, or beating yourself up for some personal failure.
Fortunately the season of spring reminds us that God is forever looking forward. Bulbs are bursting forth. New blades of grass emerge. Buds appear on
tree branches. All of creation moves forward; shouldn’’t you as well? Today is
a good day to refrain from looking backward. Instead, along with God and
nature, face the unwritten future with joyful hope.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Isaiah 65:17-21; John 4:43-54 (244)
““The things of the past shall not be remembered or come to
mind.””
TUESDAY, MARCH 12
LENTEN WEEKDAY
Believe in the source of all healing
Nothing seems more miraculous than a healing. When the sick get well despite all odds or disability is restored to wholeness, even the skeptical feel
the heartbeat of faith. Miracle-workers like Moses, Elijah, and even Jesus
often saw disbelief melt into fervor when the natural order of things was
infiltrated by divine grace. Yet all wonder-workers report the same frustration when momentary faith dissolves into doubt again as soon as the miracle
becomes a memory. Faith is not in the miraculous but in God for whom nothing is impossible.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Ezekiel 47:1-9, 12; John 5:1-16 (245)
““Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine.””
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13
LENTEN WEEKDAY
Accept you are a child of God
One of the things that got Jesus into trouble with his enemies was
that he had the audacity to say he——and everyone——was a child
of God. OK, he went further than that to declare he was the very
Son of God, and for some people of his day, such a claim of divine
origins was the worst kind of blasphemy.
Perhaps, though, something else was going on. Maybe Jesus’’ opponents
recoiled from the possibility of being that close to God themselves, a potential that pointed to a loving closeness with God and one another they felt
unworthy of. They might have realized that such intimacy also meant a responsibility to follow a God who loves God’’s children that much.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Isaiah 49:8-15; John 5:17-30 (246)
““I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.””
THURSDAY, MARCH 14
Praise for the imitation of Christ
Jesus was not interested in human praise because he saw that as often as
not there is an element of self-interest in one’’s praise of others. On the other
hand, if imitation is the highest form of praise, count Jesus on board with that
kind of it. He calls you to follow him, to imitate him, in thought, word, and
deed, rather than merely pay him lip service. We gather together in worship
not because that is sufficient to fulfill our calling but rather to gather strength
and support to follow through on our vocation once we walk out the church
doors. Do your best imitation of Jesus today!
TODAY’’S READINGS: Exodus 32:7-14; John 5:31-47 (247)
““I do not accept human praise.””
FRIDAY, MARCH 15
LENTEN WEEKDAY; DAY OF ABSTINENCE
Get to the meat of the matter
Fasting is a spiritual practice acknowledged across religions. Muslims respect
it as a way to grow in compassion for the needy. Jews see it as a way to
heighten awareness of God’’s many gifts and broaden periods of self-denial
to include refraining from bathing, sex, and wearing leather shoes (once
considered a luxury). Synagogue attendees could show up feeling quite grubby——and grumpy——for certain observances. We might keep in mind the
fourth-century monk John Cassian’’s warning: ““What we gain from fasting
does not compensate us for what we lose through anger.”” Food for thought!
TODAY’’S READINGS: Wisdom 2:1a, 12-22; John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30 (248)
““His life is not like that of others, and different are his ways.””
SATURDAY, MARCH 16
LENTEN WEEKDAY
Think for yourself
There’’s an exchange in the Gospel of John that says something about the
perception of truth. Jesus’’ teaching had impressed many. Some even thought
him the promised Messiah, the last and greatest prophet. Others, however,
weren’’t so sure. Tradition said the Savior was supposed to come from Bethlehem, but they only saw him at work in Galilee. You see the irony: Christ
actually did come from Bethlehem; they just didn’’t realize it. It’’s even more
paradoxical because in being what they thought was faithful to the predictions of their past prophets, his detractors didn’’t see the one right in their
midst! Ask yourself: ““Would I recognize a true prophet in my midst, or would
I be blinded by my preconceived notions?””
TODAY’’S READINGS: Jeremiah 11:18-20; John 7:40-53 (249)
““Some in the crowd who heard these words of Jesus said, ‘‘This is
truly the Prophet.’’ ””
