Saint Joseph Parish
Fourth Sunday of Lent - Laetare Sunday - Year I, Cycle B
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but
might have eternal life."
Perhaps this is the most quoted and known verse of the Sacred Scriptures, yet how much do we really
understand what it takes to receive the fullness of such a great love that God has for us? Jesus asks us to receive
this great gift of love. He is the light that has come into the world to dispel the darkness brought about by sin and
death. He offers redemption and eternal life. But, because it is easier said than done, many of us prefer to stay in
the dark. We are not wired to expose our sins and faults, We naturally do not want others to know the wicked
things we can do and have done - gossip, discontent, anger, distrust, violence, and hatred. We find ourselves
ashamed to acknowledge that we are capable of such hurtful things towards others. Jesus understands our
preference to keep it in the dark. Thus He calls upon us and invites us to step into the light. Exposing and owning
up to these actions is the path to dispel the darkness and death they bring into our lives and bring us back to life.
But Jesus only goes as far as we are also willing to reach back. He shows us the way. The sacrifice He makes on
the cross is the witness we need to believe that He has the power to bring light and life. He willingly dies for our
sake to show us the path to life. Yes, stepping into the light may bring about death to us - our wicked selves - but
Christ will bring us back to a life that is eternal. Are we willing to show that same kind of love and trust towards
God's love as Jesus did? We can start by making an honest examination of conscience. We need to look deep into
our lives, acknowledge the wrong, resist justifying why we did it, and ask for God's forgiveness. Bring these sins
into the light through the Sacrament of Reconciliation --- go to confession. Then, make amends with those we
hurt, and seek their forgiveness. If someone has hurt you, show the same mercy, forgive as God has forgiven you,
lovingly and unconditionally.
This Sunday is Laetare Sunday. It gets its name from the introit of the mass, "Rejoice O Jerusalem." It is said
to encourage the call of the faithful to stay on course with their Lenten practices and keep sight of what lies
beyond the passion and death of Christ - the Resurrection.
Thank you to those who participated in our St. Patrick's Day Dinner hosted by the Knights of Columbus. I am
grateful to Jeanne & Jeff Ecker, the Knights and all others involved in putting together this event, and for their
generosity I hope we can continue to make time to attend these events that builds up our parish family
beyond the celebration of the Mass each Sunday.
God bless!
In Christ, Father Brian

Nota del Pastor– Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma- Domingo de Regocijo- Año 1, Ciclo B
“Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo, que le entregó a su Hijo único, para que todo el que crea en Él no perezca, sino que
tenga vida eterna.”
Este quizás es el versículo más importante de las Sagradas Escrituras, ¿pero, en realidad entendemos lo que significa
recibir plenamente la muestra más grande del amor Dios para nosotros? Jesús nos pide recibir este gran regalo de amor.
Él es la luz que ha venido al mundo para dispersar la oscuridad que llegó por el pecado y la muerte. Él ofrece la
redención y la vida eterna. Pero más fácil decirlo que hacerlo, muchos de nosotros preferimos permanecer en la
oscuridad. Nosotros no estamos acostumbrados a exponer nuestros pecados y faltas, y preferimos estar en la oscuridad.
Naturalmente no queremos que otros conozcan las cosas malas que podemos hacer y hemos hecho - chismes,
descontento, enojo, desconfianza, violencia y odio. Nos avergonzamos de reconocer que somos capaces de tales cosas
hirientes hacia los demás. Jesús entiende nuestra preferencia para mantenerlo en la oscuridad.
Aun así Él nos exhorta e invita a salir a la luz. El exponer y aceptar estas acciones es la ruta para dispersar la
oscuridad y la muerte de nuestras vidas y esto nos lleva de nuevo a la vida. Pero Jesús solamente va tan lejos como
nosotros le permitimos llegar. Nos muestra el camino, el sacrificio que Él hizo en la Cruz es el testimonio que
necesitamos para creer que Él tiene el poder para traer la luz y vida. Él muere voluntariamente por nosotros para
mostrarnos el camino a la vida. Sí, entrar en la luz puede llevarnos a la muerte – la muerte a nuestra maldad - pero
Cristo nos traerá de regreso a la vida, que es eterna. ¿Estamos dispuestos a demostrar el mismo amor y confianza hacia
el amor de Dios como Jesús lo hizo? Podemos empezar por hacer un examen sincero de conciencia. Miremos
profundamente nuestras vidas, aceptemos el mal que hemos hecho a nuestro prójimo, resistamos justificar el porqué lo
hicimos, y pidamos el perdón de Dios. Traigamos esto a la luz a través del Sacramento de la Reconciliación----ir a la
confesión. Entonces debemos reconciliarnos con los que herimos, buscar su perdón. Si alguien te ha herido, debes
demostrar la misma misericordia, perdonar como Dios nos perdona, amándonos e incondicionalmente.
Este domingo es el domingo de Regocijo. Esto da su nombre desde el introito de la misa, “Regocíjate O Jerusalén,”
Es para animar a los fieles y mantenerlos en curso con sus prácticas de cuaresma y mantener a la vista lo que está más
allá de la pasión y muerte de Cristo - la Resurrección.
Gracias a quienes participaron en la cena del día de San Patricio auspiciado por los Caballeros de Colón. Estoy
agradecido con Jeanne y Jeff Ecker, los Caballeros y todos los demás involucrados en este evento. Agradezco a los
caballeros y sus familias por esta muestra de generosidad. Espero que podamos continuar haciendo tiempo para asistir a
estos eventos que construyen nuestra familia parroquial más allá de la celebración de la Misa cada domingo.
Dios los Bendiga!
En Cristo

Knights of Columbus Recruitment
Announcement for March 2014
Time remains one of the most valuable
commodities we enjoy in our lives. Though the
amount of leisure and free time for the average
person decreased in recent years, the number of
activities and outside influences vying for our
precious time seems to increase each year.
If you believe in the importance of investing your
time in friendship, the Church, and helping others,
the Knights of Columbus is the ministry for you.
The Knights of Columbus is an organization of
Catholic men and their families that derive a great
sense of satisfaction from being able to develop
lasting friendships with each other while helping the
less fortunate. Every day the Knights of Columbus
provides its members with the opportunity to
discover the importance of charity, unity, fraternity,
and patriotism to our country and world. I urge all
men in this parish not involved with the Knights to
join the Knights of Columbus. Those parishioners
who belong to the Knights, I encourage you to help
a friend and his family discover the opportunities
available in the Knights of Columbus to serve your
parish and community. Representatives from the
MSGR Raymond Renwald Council, #7241, at
St. Joseph Parish are available March 14-15 to
answer questions and accept applications for
membership. We welcome your interest and invite
your participation. For more information contact:
Jackson Campbell at (916) 685-6662. Thank you
