J
ubilee Year of Mercy
February 14, 2016 • First Sunday of Lent
On Ash Wednesday Pope Francis commissioned “Missionaries of
Mercy,” priest-confessors sent forth worldwide as “living
signs of the Father’s readiness to welcome those in search
of [God’s] pardon.” In a way, though, Pope Francis
challenges all of us to become “missionaries of mercy”
(Misericordiae Vultus, 18) by living Lent in this Jubilee
Year of Mercy “more intensely as a privileged moment
to celebrate and experience God’s mercy” (MV, 17).
Francis bids us make the prophet Micah’s words our
own: “God . . . who does not persist in anger forever, but
delights rather in clemency. You will cast into the depths
of the sea all our sins” (Micah 7:18, 19). Having experienced
God’s mercy ourselves in the unconditional forgiveness of our sins,
how eager we should be to invite others to know the peace of God’s
boundless mercy; perhaps even to experience, through our reaching
out in gentle kindness and compassionate care, something of
God’s unconditional love for them.

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
February 14, 2016
First Sunday of Lent
Each year, at the beginning of
Lent, the lectionary has us hear
the story of the devil tempting
Jesus in the desert. This year we
hear Luke’s version. Following his
baptism, Jesus went out into the
desert for forty days during which
time he ate nothing. Knowing that
Jesus would be hungry, the devil
tempted him to turn a stone into
bread. When Jesus did not, the devil
showed him all the kingdoms of
the earth, promising Jesus all the
glory and power of them if Jesus
would worship the devil. Again
Jesus refused. Finally, Satan took
Jesus to the top of the temple in
Jerusalem and told him to jump
because God’s angels would save
him. Jesus refused each of the three
temptations by quoting scripture
from the book of Deuteronomy thus
making clear his obedience to God.
Listen and remember through Word and Bread
Sun, 2/14: Dt 26:4-10; Ps 91:1-2, 10-15;
Rom 10:8-13; Lk 4:1-13
Mon, 2/15: Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Ps 19:8-10, 15;

Lk 11:29-32
Thur, 2/18: Est C:12,14-16,23-25; Ps 138:1-3,7c-8;

Phil 3:17 — 4:1; Lk 9:28b-36
Confused Catholic?
Inactive Catholic?
Alienated Catholic?
An Invitation to Consider
COMING HOME AGAIN
Reflection question:
Adults: How willing are you to
profess your faith in Jesus Christ
openly to others?
Children: Would you still be able
to say that you believe in Jesus if
others made fun of you for it?
(We’ve missed you.)
If you’ve been away from the church,
or are drifting away from it,
if you’ve been hurt by the church,
or are confused or angry because of your
Catholic experience, please consider our
invitation to come and talk with us.
If you are an active Catholic
who would like to assist with this ministry,
we welcome your help.

Meets the first Tuesday of every

Join us to learn what our new projects
are, and what you can do to help.
Many blessings and love to all our
wonderful parishioners on Valentine’s Day!
The February meeting of the Social Justice
Ministry was a busy one as we welcomed
several guests and solidified our planning for
the upcoming 6-week study group. It will kick
off this Tuesday, Feb. 16, in the Youth Center,
with a soup supper at 5:30 (bring your own bowl
& spoon) and a guided discussion group on
“Be Merciful -- Reflections on the Spiritual and
Corporal Works of Mercy” from 6:00 to 7:00. All
parishioners are most welcome to join us as we
follow Pope Francis in this Jubilee Year of Mercy.
We also reflected on the recent Ice Cream Social
we hosted at the Overflow Shelter -- a joyous
(and delicious) event, made more so by the
array of warm winter wear which has been so
generously donated by parishioners. Our guests
had a wonderful time trying on hats and scarves
and were very appreciative of having some
warm clothing for this cold and wet season.
Rita’s Rainbows sent a heartfelt “thank you”
for the very generous Social Justice second
collection in November. “With your generosity,
you have helped us help so many children and
spread so many smiles, all in the name of our
daughter, Rita. We know that none of it would
be possible without the support of people like
you. We are grateful beyond words.”
“When he calls to me, I will answer.”

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma
JESUS Y EL DEMONIO
Como nos recuerda el Evangelio de hoy, el
demonio tentó a Jesús con citas de la Sagrada
Escritura: haz un milagro que te convenga. Véndete.
Deslumbra a tus oyentes; el pueblo es ingenuo
y novelero. Camina por estas sendas fáciles. El
tentador trata de llevar a Jesús por la senda fácil
pero resbalosa, ofreciéndole las soluciones fáciles
pero falsas que siempre están a la mano. El demonio
sabe lo que es bueno, pero no tiene la capacidad de
hacer lo que es bueno, y menos aún de ser bueno. El
demonio es la personificación del Mal, e intuye en
Jesús la presencia más fuerte, y más genuinamente
atractiva, de la santidad.
El Evangelio de este domingo nos muestra al
Mal expuesto y desenmascarado. Satanás sabe que
se le ha acabado el juego. Hoy Jesús comienza a
deshacer su tejido de mentiras, y a sanar a las almas,
y al mundo entero. Y en este tiempo de Cuaresma,
la Iglesia nos invita a participar en esta labor de
renovación, de nueva creación, y a dejar que Cristo
nos sane.

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
14 de febrero de 2016
Primer Domingo de Cuaresma
El Miércoles de Ceniza el Papa Francisco
comisionó a “Misioneros de la Misericordia”,
sacerdotes confesores que fueron enviados
alrededor del mundo como “signos vivos
de la prontitud del Padre para dar la
bienvenida a quienes buscan el perdón de
Dios”. En cierta manera, el Papa Francisco
desafía a todos nosotros a convertirnos en
“misioneros de la misericordia” al vivir esta
Cuaresma del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
con “mayor intensidad, como momento fuerte
para celebrar y experimentar la misericordia de
Dios” (Misericordiae Vultus, 17). El Papa Francisco nos
propone hacer nuestras las palabras del profeta Miqueas:
“No persistirá en su ira para siempre, porque se complace
en la misericordia. Volverá a compadecerse de nosotros,
sepultará nuestras culpas” (Miqueas 7:18–19). Ya que
nosotros mismos hemos experimentado la misericordia
de Dios en el perdón incondicional de nuestros pecados,
que tan entusiasmados debemos estar para invitar a todos
los demás para conocer de Dios la paz de la misericordia
inmensa; más aún por experiencia, a través de nuestro
alcance de bondad y cuidado compasivo, algo del amor
incondicional de Dios por ellos.

RADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Las cenizas que se nos pusieron en la frente el
miércoles pasado ya están borradas, pero las palabras
que nos dijeron deben sonar aún en nuestras almas.
Tradicionalmente se dice: “Recuerda que del polvo
venimos y al polvo retornaremos.” Y aunque hoy
en muchos lugares se dice: “Conviértete y cree en el
Evangelio” el mensaje para oídos latinos es el mismo.
Es un mensaje que nos saca de nuestro egoísmo
recordándonos lo que los antiguos Toltecas ya sabían:
esta vida es un sueño y el que muere despierta a la
vida verdadera. Viviendo el Evangelio en esta vida
nos prepara para la vida eterna.
Las cenizas y esas frases dan un mensaje que lleva
la imagen de la tierra que se somete para cultivarse. A
veces la tierra se quema para que de sus cenizas venga
vida nueva. Las cenizas que se nos pusieron no son
para despreciar nuestra vida sino para amarla. De esa
manera seremos cultivados por el ayuno, la oración y la
caridad que hagamos durante la Cuaresma, sometiendo
el polvo de nuestro cuerpo para dar fruto eterno.
