FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT PAGE 2

Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

The account of Adam and Eve in Genesis, the temptation of the serpent, their fall into sin is at heart of our Lenten Journey. Through their disobedi-ence, the scourge of sin enter this world, and suffering an death came to us.

We all share in this sin!

“Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned…” Psalm 51

“Through one man and women sin entered the world, and through

sin, death, and thus death same to all, inasmuch as all sinned…” Romans

God did not abandon, but came to our rescue through His Son,

Our Lord Jesus Christ.

During Lent, we must do a careful examination of our life, to see where sin is holding us captive. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to give us light to see our

truth and move us to repentance, so as to share in the victory of Christ over sin, death and the devil.

National Vocations Awareness Week Our Lady of Perpetual Help School

participated in the Vocation Poster Contest by having students create posters that spread awareness of different vocations. On Monday, February 24th, two students from OLPH School won

awards for their contributions in the San Pedro Pastoral Re-gion. Ileana Gonzalez (kindergarten) and Nahla Ramos (third

grade) were invited to a special luncheon with seminarian Dan-iel Vega to celebrate their achievement. Thank you to our win-

ners and to all who participated in the contest!

Personalize your fire safety plan

Research shows that having a fire escape plan, and executing it quickly, greatly in-creases the chances of a successful escape from a house fire. In studies, researchers

tested standard high-decibel smoke alarms on sleeping children, and found that just over half the children woke up to the noise. However, when researches used person-alized messages recorded by the children’s parents in conjunction with the beeping smoke alarms, almost 100 percent of the children woke up and successfully fol-lowed their escape plan.

MARCH 1, 2020 PAGE 5

The Lenten season is a fresh invitation to explore again who God is, who we are, and what it means to be human. We begin by hearing the tragic story of the first humans in the book of Genesis. As Paul describes in Romans, our struggles started when our ancestors broke the bond of unity with God, sought self-sufficiency,

and grew apart from their true purpose and identity. In Matthew’s Gospel, we see how Jesus resists the lure of living outside of unity with God. Jesus rejects false promises of possessions, power, and status. Instead, he

puts his life in his Father’s hands. As our model for living as a fully human person, Jesus demonstrates that we are created to live in relationship with and trust in God, and in harmony with and for all of creation.

BEING LIKE GOD

The story of Adam and Eve, in Genesis 2 and 3, considers the origins of the trials and sufferings that we experience in human life. Part of the problem, the story suggests, is the human effort to be like God. Humans are therefore forbidden to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The story is quite a contrast from Genesis 1, which proclaims that we are made in the image and like-ness of God, and called to seek to become more like God. This creates a tension that points to a challenge in our life of faith: we are

created both to embody God by developing our God-given human capacities, and also to live in radical trust and dependence on God. We are called to embrace and to live into this tension.

GOD’S BELOVED

When the people of Israel were freed from Egypt, they were declared to be God’s chosen and beloved people. They wandered in the desert for forty years, often with great resistance, as God prepared them to enter the Promised Land.

Jesus’ forty days in the desert echoes their story, and offer a contrast. At his baptism, just before being led into the desert by the Spirit, Jesus was declared by a voice from the heavens to be God’s “beloved Son.” So, twice in today’s passage, he is lured with the words “If you are the Son of God . . .” The devil tempts Jesus to re-define his sonship of God on his own terms, instead of follow-ing his Father. Israel had failed to understand its identity as God’s people, but Jesus demonstrates how to live as God’s Beloved. These contrasting stories of Israel and of Jesus present us with a challenge. We are regularly tempted to redefine our identity as Christians on our own terms, to make faith comfortable and non-threatening. This Lenten season can re-mind us to allow God to

transform our minds and hearts on God’s terms. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

El tiempo cuaresmal es una nueva invitación a explorar de nuevo quién es Dios, quiénes somos y qué signifi-ca ser humano. Comenzamos escuchando la trágica historia de los primeros humanos en el libro del Génesis. Como Pablo describe en Romanos, nuestras luchas comenzaron cuando nuestros antepasados rompieron el vínculo de la unidad con Dios, buscaron la autosuficiencia y se separaron de su verdadero propósito e iden-

tidad. En el Evangelio de Mateo, vemos cómo Jesús se resiste al señuelo de vivir fuera de la unidad con Dios. Jesús rechaza falsas promesas de posesiones, poder y estatus. En cambio, pone su vida en manos de su Padre. Como nuestro modelo para vivir como una persona plenamente humana, Jesús demuestra que somos creados

para vivir en relación con Dios y confiar en él, y en armonía con y para toda la creación.

SIENDO COMO DIOS La historia de Adán y Eva, en el libro del Génesis 2 y 3, es considerada como el origen del juicio y sufrimiento que experimen-

tamos en la vida humana. Parte del problema, sugiere la historia, es el esfuerzo humano por ser como Dios. Por lo tanto, a los hu-manos se les prohíbe comer del árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal. La historia es absolutamente un contraste de Génesis 1, donde se proclama que somos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios, y llamados a buscar hacernos más como Dios. Esto crea una tensión que se dirige a un reto en nuestra vida de fe: somos creados tanto para encarnar a Dios desarrollando nuestras capacidades humanas dadas por Dios, y también para vivir una confianza radical y dependencia en Dios. Estamos llamados a aceptar y vivir en

esta tensión.

LOS AMADOS DE DIOS Cuando el pueblo de Israel fue liberado de Egipto, fueron proclamados ser los elegidos por Dios y pueblo amado. Durante cuarenta

años deambularon en el desierto, frecuentemente con gran resistencia, y Dios los preparó para entrar a la Tierra Prometida. Los cuarenta días de Jesús en el desierto refleja esta historia, y ofrece un contraste. En su bautismo, justo antes de ser guiado al

desierto por el Espíritu, Jesús fue declarado por una voz del cielo ser el “Hijo amado” de Dios. Así que dos veces en el pasaje de hoy, él es tentado con las palabras “Sí eres el Hijo de Dios . . .” El diablo tienta a Jesús para redefinir su filiación de Dios en sus

propios términos, en lugar de seguir a su Padre. Israel falló en entender su identidad como el pueblo de Dios, pero Jesús demuestra cómo vivir como el amado de Dios.

Estas historias contrastantes de Israel y de Jesús nos presenta un reto. Regularmente estamos tentados a redefinir nuestra identidad como cristianos en nuestros propios términos, para hacer a la fe confortable y no amenazante. Este tiempo de Cuaresma podemos

recordarnos permitir que Dios transforme nuestras mentes y corazones en los términos de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

COLUMNA DEL PASTOR

DIRECTORIO DEL MINISTERIO HISPANO - VER LA PAGINA 8

Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,

El relato de Adam y Eva en Genesis, la tentación de la serpiente, su caída en el pecado está en el corazón de nuestra jornada de cuaresma. A través de su desobediencia, el azote del pecado entró al mundo, y el sufrimiento y la muerte

llegaron a nosotros.

¡Todos compartimos en este pecado!

“Misericordia, Señor … hemos pecado…” Salmo 51

“Así como por un hombre y una mujer entró el pecado en el mundo y por el pecado entró la muerte, así la muerte pasó a todos, porque

todos pecaron…” Romanos

Dios no nos abandonó, sino que vino a rescatarnos por medio de Su Hijo, Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Durante la Cuaresma nosotros, debemos hacer un examen cuidadoso de nues-

tra vida, para ver donde el pecado esta reteniéndonos cautivos. Oremos al Espí-ritu Santo para darnos luz para ver nuestra verdad y llevarnos al arrepenti-

miento, para así compartir en la victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado, la muerte y el demonio.

INTENCION DEL PAPA PARA MARZO

Personalice su plan de seguridad contra incendios

Estudios demuestran que contar con un plan de escape en caso de incendios, y ejecutarlo rápidamente, aumenta en gran medida las posibilidades de un escape

exitoso de una casa incendiada. En los estudios, los in-vestigadores probaron las alarmas de humo estándares de altos decibeles con niños dormidos, y encontraron que solo la mitad de los niños se despertaron con el rui-do. Sin embargo, cuando los investigadores usaron men-sajes personalizados grabados por los padres de los ni-ños junto con el sonido de las alarmas, casi el 100 por ciento de los niños se levantaron y siguieron con éxito el plan de escape.
