FROM THE RECTOR
Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Lord is near; do not be anxious about anything but, in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Phil 4:5-6) As the shelter-in-place order came down this week, it's more important than ever not to give in to fear and frustration but to continue to do what is possible to maintain the light of Christ in our hearts and our homes. Our Bishop and the priests here will continue to pray and offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the faithful and for an end to the pandemic. We thank you for your prayers that help to sustain us in our ministry. Please check our website for live stream & archived Masses and for other opportunities to stay connected during this trying time. Your Servant in Christ, Fr. Daniel Liu ________________________________________________________
Queridos hermanos y hermanas: El Señor está cerca. Por Nada estén afanosos, antes bien, en todo, mediante oración y súplica con acción de gracias, sean dadas a conocer sus peticiones delante De Dios. Fin. 4, 5-6. Ahora, con la orden municipal de quedarse en casa, es más importante que nunca no ceder ante el miedo y la frustración, sino continuar haciendo todo lo posible para mantener la luz de Cristo en nuestros corazones y en nuestros hogares. Nuestro obispo y los sacerdotes de la diócesis continuarán orando y ofreciendo el santo sacrificio de la misa por los fieles y por el fin de esta pandemia. Estamos agradecidos por sus oraciones que nos sostienen en nuestro ministerio.

5th Sunday of Lent Jn 11:1-45 Even though we say that we believe, there is a part of us that doesn’t. There are many times in our lives when we experience death, whether it be the physical death of someone we love, a failed relationship, the loss of a job, or a broken dream. As we are going through these death experiences, we can easily find ourselves reaching out to God to make it better and fix it! We think that the proper order of life is to maintain the things of this world, especially those things that are essential to our sense of well-being and security. We do not like change. The grieving that comes from our death experiences can keep us stuck and in despair. If we have lost something or someone of great value, the very meaning and essence of life is lost with them. We need gentle companions to lift us from despair and that is precisely who God desires to be in our life as well.
God calls us out of our tombs, where we have been closed up in fear and despair, and shouts, “Come out!” He desperately wants to show us the path to hope and the new life that is possible after loss and death. But our faith can be weak, and we still prefer to cling to the memory of what we had rather than the joyful possibilities of tomorrow. We sometimes live as if God is not real and that the transformative power of His resurrected presence is a story found in the Bible rather than a narrative unfolding in our lives.
God is the God of surprises, not our demise. God opens new possibilities, begins new chapters, creates new verses, and brings us to new heights! We spend so much time and energy ruminating over what we left behind yesterday that we are far too tired to see what can unfold tomorrow. Loving someone new doesn’t negate our past loves. Embracing the love of a person, God, or life itself tomorrow doesn’t diminish the love of yesterday. Each of our loves is different, and one cannot be replaced by another. They don’t cancel each other out. God truly has tended to every detail of our lives, and if we listen to each detail, we find that they all lead us back to Him. Jesus wants us to come out of our closed-up tombs. Are we going to listen this time? ©LPi

Missionary works of Cross Catholic Outreach: Fr. Antony Savarimuthu, our resident priest, would like you to know about Cross Catholic Outreach and its ministry around the world. Cross Catholic Out-reach is a Catholic organization whose mission is to mobilize the global Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. It reaches out to the poorest of the poor countries in Asia, Central America, South America, and, more specifically, Caribbean countries such as Haiti.
There are excellent and committed bishops from the U. S. as board members. More than 100 bishops from the U. S. have written a letter endorsing Cross Catholic Outreach, including our Bishop Joe Vásquez. Cross Catholic Outreach works in collaboration with the Dicastery* for Promoting Integral Human Development’s Section for Service of Charity and it received pontifical approval from the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, the Holy Father’s outreach to the developing world. For more information, visit: www.crosscatholic.org.
It is up to the generosity of parishioners to support this valuable ministry, extending your love towards the poor around the world during this time of Lent. Feel free to reach Fr. Anto-ny by his phone: 551-697-9564, or email [email protected] for further details.
* Dicastery: one of the official congregations of the Holy See through which the Pope conducts the regular administration of the Universal Church.
Six Characteristics of an Everyday Stewardship for Lent – Committed I remember Jim Valvano, Jimmy V to many, saying the iconic words, “Don’t give up; you can never give up.” The former coach of the NC State men’s basketball team was dying of cancer, yet he refused to throw in the towel and give in to his disease. His words exemplified the best of the human spirit we all share. Sometimes, living out those words seem much more difficult than saying them.
These words are also important for our faith life. The life Jesus calls us to is not easy. When working toward a life of greater generosity and surrender of all to God, we are prone to fall flat on our face many times. We are not called to this life only when we are strong. It is how we respond when times are the most difficult that truly defines us as disciples and stewards. The world may think we are down for the count, but rising again gives testimony that in Christ we are stronger.
Commitment takes a willingness to do the things needed to get stronger and build our spiritual muscles. We cannot expect to find success in the spiritual life unless we continue to work on our resolve and grow in our knowledge of the faith. A marathon runner would never be able to make it to the finish line unless they have trained and prepared in advance. We must work hard to stay the course and prepare for the race at hand. No matter what this life may have in store for us, we are called to not give up. God will never give up on us -Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi
EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP
Remember in your prayers
all those affected by the coronavirus throughout
the world.
Compassionate and Loving Father,
in the face of confusion and concern
impart to us the calm of Your presence.
In You allow us to find hope and healing.
Be with those who serve the sick and
give them Your caring hands.
Be with those who lead and give them
Your spirit of wisdom.
Be with those who have fallen ill and
give them Your comforting heart.
Wrap your arms around our world
and hold us in Your love.
Allow us at this time of trial to then
serve as instruments of that love
to all we meet.
We ask this in Your Name.
Amen.

TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS MEET THE MUSICIANS
Mauricio Ramos, Director of the Spanish choir at the
Cathedral for over 15 years, started playing the guitar at the age of 8, playing in school choirs where he learned popular hymns by ear in his hometown Cojutepeque in El Salvador. Later he moved to the capital city where he studied classical guitar and singing. In 1996, he became the choir director at the Ricaldone Institute parish in San Salvador. He is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and recording artist. Mauricio moved to Austin with his wife Teresa in 2002, and soon they found a home in Saint Mary Cathedral’s choir. They both come from Salesian schools in El Salvador, and that has influenced the spirit and style of their music. They have two children that have been literally part of the choir all their life, now they sing and play instruments with the rest of the group. ___________________________________________________
Mauricio Ramos, director del coro en español de la catedral por más de 15 años, comenzó a tocar la guitarra a las 8 años, acompañando las misas de su escuela en donde aprendió de oído canciones tradicionales en su pueblo natal Cojutepeque en El Salvador. Más tarde se mudó a la capital y allí estudió guitarra clásica y canto. A partir de 1996 trabajó como director del coro de la parroquia del Instituto Ricaldone de San Salvador. Es también multi-instrumentista, cantautor y artista de la grabación.
Mauricio se mudó a Austin con su esposa Teresa en 2002 y pronto encontraron un lugar en el coro de la catedral de Santa Maria. Ambos estudiaron en colegios salesianos en El Salvador y esto ha influenciado el espíritu y estilo de la música que interpretan. Tienen dos hijos que han pertenecido al coro toda sus vidas, ahora ellos cantan y tocan instrumentos con el resto del grupo.
LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA
Las 6 Características de una Corresponsabilidad Diaria para la Cuaresma – El Compromiso Recuerdo a Jim Valvano, Jimmy V para muchos, diciendo las palabras icónicas: “No te rindas; nunca puedes rendir-te.” El ex entrenador del equipo de baloncesto masculino de NC State se estaba muriendo de cáncer, pero se negó a tirar la toalla y ceder a su enfermedad. Sus palabras ejemplificaron lo mejor del espíritu humano que todos compartimos. A veces, vivir esas palabras parece mucho más difícil que decirlas.
Estas palabras también son importantes para nuestra vida de fe. La vida a la que Jesús nos llama no es fácil. Cuando trabajamos hacia una vida de mayor generosidad y entrega de todo a Dios, estamos propensos a caer de cara al suelo muchas veces. No estamos llamados a esta vida solo cuando somos fuertes. Es cómo respondemos cuando los tiempos son lo más difíciles lo que realmente nos define como discípulos y corresponsables. Puede que el mundo piense que estamos abajo, pero volver a subir da testimonio de que en Cristo somos más fuertes.
El compromiso requiere la voluntad de hacer las cosas necesarias para fortalecernos y desarrollar nuestros músculos espirituales. No podemos esperar encontrar el éxito en la vida espiritual a menos que continuemos trabajando en nuestra determinación y creciendo en nuestro conocimiento de la fe. Un corredor de maratón nunca podría llegar a la línea de meta a menos que haya entrenado y preparado con anticipación. Debemos trabajar duro para mantener el rumbo y prepararnos para la carrera en cuestión. No importa qué nos depare esta vida, estamos llamados a no rendirnos. Dios nunca se dará por vencido con nosotros. -Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi _______________________________________________
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO
V Domingo de Cuaresma Jn 11, 1-45 La semana pasada, el ciego de nacimiento nos ilumino a creer en Jesús y postrarnos ante el para adorarlo. Ahora, la Liturgia, nos presenta otro gran milagro y las amigas de Jesús lo afirman de manera diferente al ciego. El dialogo es diferente pero la pregunta es la misma: ¿Crees tú esto? Es decir, que Jesús es la resurrección y la vida. La respuesta es afirmativa: “Si, Señor. Creo firmemente que tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, el que tenía que venir al mun-do.” (Juan 11:27) Para que el milagro sucediera, Jesús se tardó a propósito dos días en llegar, como nos lo relata el Evangelio. Tiempo muy largo para las hermanas. Era demasiado retraso; cuatro días tenía ya su hermano en el sepulcro. Sin embargo, para tener fe el tiempo no cuenta. Ellas tenían fe y el Señor las pone a prueba. Salieron triunfantes; Marta y María son modelo para todas las generaciones. (continua)
Estamos por terminar el camino en el desierto; la Cuaresma pronto llagara a su fin. El próximo Domingo celebraremos el Domingo de Ramos. A estas alturas, ya debe la fe rebozar en el corazón de cada creyente. Tal como las amigas de Jesús: “Marta y María, protagonistas del Evangelio de hoy, nos enseñan cómo debe vivirse la vida del cristiano, ‘el enamorado’ del Señor… ‘Contemplación y servicio’: éste es el camino de nuestra vida. Cada uno de nosotros piense: ¿Cuánto tiempo al día dedico a contemplar el misterio de Jesús? Y después: ¿Cómo trabajo? Trabajo tanto ¿que parece una alienación, o trabajo de modo coherente con mi fe?... Nos hará bien pensar esto”. (Papa Francisco) ©LPi

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION
VOCATIONS DISCERNMENT
I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly… John 10:10
Initiated in 1991, this simple yet effective program provides an opportunity for children, teens, adults and senior citizens to prayerfully intercede on behalf of moms and unborn babies threatened by abortion. Participants spiritually adopt a baby at risk of abortion by pledging to pray the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen prayer daily for nine months.
Beginning this month, we ask that you pray daily for your spiritual adopted baby and the baby’s parents. This child of yours is known to God and in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet this child whose life was saved by your prayers.
Prayer for Spiritual Adoption Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion. Prayer of Archbishop Fulton Sheen Yo vine para que tengan vida, y la tengan en abundancia ... Juan 10,10
Iniciado en 1991, este programa simple pero efectivo ofrece una oportunidad para que niños, adolescentes, adultos y personas mayores intercedan en oración en nombre de las madres y los bebés no nacidos amenazados por el aborto. Los participantes adoptan espiritualmente a un bebé en riesgo de aborto comprometiéndose a rezar la oración del Arzobispo Fulton J. Sheen diariamente durante nueve meses.
A partir de este mes, le pedimos que ore diariamente por su bebe adoptivo espiritual y los padres del bebé. Dios conoce a este hijo suyo y en el mundo venidero se espera que conozca a este niño cuya vida fue salvada por sus oraciones.
Oración para la Adopción Espiritual- Jesus, María y José, Los amo mucho, les pido que salven la vida de éste bebé que he adoptado espiritualmente y el cual está en peligro de aborto. Oración del Arzobispo Fulton Sheen
