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.

Saint Joseph Parish 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!
