GOSPEL MEDITATION JOHN 4:5-42

We give the definition of ourselves over to so many things. We allow our society, friends, family, work, social groups, ethnicity, and even institutions define, classify, and color how we perceive ourselves. When we listen predominantly to the voices of others, we lose touch with what is happening within our own inner voice. If we listen carefully within, we can easily discover that we are in want and need. We know our incompleteness and also know that loneliness, sadness, and self-images can propel us outward in attempts to fill those gaps. We can become not only victims of our own prejudices but can find ourselves overly self-indulgent in things that can only satisfy for a short time, if at all.

It is no wonder that money and power are things that are so fervently sought after. As long as we can keep a steady supply going, the illusion of fulfillment and satisfaction can falsely persuade us as craftily as a master magician’s act. We live with illusions not truth. It is no wonder, then, that some of the wealthiest folks are also really the unhappiest. Whether we admit it, the lies we live and pursue will ultimately expose our superficiality. We all have to wrestle with who we are and what gives our lives purpose and meaning. Learn to listen more deeply, not to what others are saying about you, but to what God is echoing in your heart.

We can easily get confused and misunderstand, not only about who we are but who God is. Even the disciples and the Samaritan woman at the well missed the point Jesus was trying to make. There is only one Person who can satisfy the deepest yearnings and longings of our hearts — Jesus the Messiah. It is not the work of corporate America that will lead us to happiness or greatness but the work of the soul. We continue to resist acknowledging this and are happier in our world of misunderstanding and illusion. The life-giving water we truly need doesn’t come from the source of a well but from the Source of Life. Only God can reveal the truth of our sinfulness, the superficiality of our pursuits, and the illusions we hold so dear. Only Jesus can save us from ourselves and give us what we really need. If only our heads can catch up with where our hearts know they need to be, then will we find real contentment and life! ©LPi ________________________________________________________

En este tercer Domingo de Cuaresma, Jesús es el pozo de agua viva que guía a la mujer samaritana a profundizar en el Espíritu y en la verdad. También, guía a los discípulos a profundizar en su misión para recibir la cosecha que ya está lista. Alabanza, misión y creer que Cristo es el camino hacia la vida eterna. ¡Todos, este Domingo necesitamos de tomar de esa agua viva que es Cristo! “Señor, dame de esa agua, y así ya no sufriré la sed ni tendré que volver aquí a sacar agua.” (Juan 4:15)

El Papa Francisco nos ilumina con la siguiente homilía:

“Jesús, habla de un agua diversa…el agua que dona la vida eterna fue infundida en nuestros corazones en el día de nuestro bautismo, ahora Dios nos ha transformado y llenados de su gracia. Pero puede darse que hayamos olvidado este gran don, o reducido a un mero dato, y quizá vamos en busca de ‘pozos’ aunque no nos sacian la sed. [El Evangelio es para nosotros.] Jesús nos habla como a la samaritana. Ciertamente nosotros ya lo conocemos, pero quizá no lo hemos acogido personalmente, y no lo hemos todavía reconocido como nuestro Salvador. Este tiempo de Cuaresma es la ocasión buena para acercarse a él, encontrarlo en la oración en un dialogo corazón a corazón, ver su Rostro en el rostro de un hermano o de una hermana sufriente. De este modo podemos renovar en nosotros la gracia del bautismo, saciarnos en la fuente de la Palabra de Dios y de su Santo Espíritu, es así descubrir la gloria de convertirnos en artífices de reconciliación instrumentos de paz en la vida cotidiana.”

¿Qué piensas de esta homilía del Papa? ©LPi

Six Characteristics of an Everyday Stewardship for Lent – Grateful Happy Birthday! It may or may not be your birthday now, but I know it will be coming up at some point. I hope you receive many cool presents and get to spend quality time with friends and family. On special days like birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries, it is good to celebrate. After all, we need some fun and celebration in our lives.

But what about the day after? Presents remain, but the presence of others may be over, and it is back to the daily grind. Yesterday, you were filled with gratitude. You hold the memory of yesterday still close so that fuels you for the day. However, how about 2, 3, or 4 days from then? The truth is that many joys in this life cannot stay with us forever. They belong to a certain place in time. We will have our memories, yet those thoughts will never be a suitable substitute for the real thing.

There is one joy that remains throughout all our days: the joy we find in Jesus. What he gives us does not fade. The amazing thing about what he offers us is that it also provides a lens through which we see all things. Now we can see the smallest reasons to be grateful. We no longer have a life where we go from one celebration to another with the ordinary in between. All life and time are extraordinary! All gifts, great and small, are precious. This offering seems too good to be true, so what’s the catch? Like all gifts given to us, for the gift to have meaning, we must be willing to receive it. The choice is yours. You can live in the ordinary, or you can revel in the extraordinary, now and forever. -Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA

Las 6 Características de una Corresponsabilidad Diaria para la Cuaresma – El Agradecimiento ¡Feliz cumpleaños! Puede o no ser tu cumpleaños ahora, pero sé que llegará en algún momento. Espero que recibas muchos regalos geniales y pases tiempo de calidad con amigos y familiares. En días especiales como cumpleaños, Navidad y aniversarios, es bueno celebrarlo. Después de todo, necesitamos algo de diversión y celebración en nuestras vidas.

¿Pero qué pasa al día siguiente? Los regalos permanecen, pero la presencia de otros puede haber terminado, y es tiempo de regresar a la rutina diaria. Ayer, estabas lleno de gratitud. Man-tienes el recuerdo del ayer aún cerca, así que eso te da energía para el día. Sin embargo, ¿qué tal 2, 3 o 4 días después? La verdad es que muchas alegrías en esta vida no pueden quedarse con nosotros para siempre. Pertenecen a cierto lugar en el tiempo. Tendremos nuestros recuerdos, pero esos pensamientos nunca serán un sustituto adecuado de lo real.

Hay una alegría que permanece durante todos nuestros días: la alegría que encontramos en Jesús. Lo que Él nos da no se desvanece. Lo sorprendente de lo que nos ofrece es que también proporciona un lente a través del cual vemos todas las cosas. Ahora podemos ver las razones aún más pequeñas para estar agradecidos. Ya no tenemos una vida donde vamos de una celebración a otra con lo ordinario en el medio. ¡Toda la vida y el tiempo son extraordinarios! Todos los regalos, grandes y pequeños, son preciosos. Esta oferta parece demasiado buena para ser verdad, entonces, ¿cuál es el truco? Como todos los regalos que se nos dan, para que el regalo tenga sentido, debemos estar dispuestos a recibirlo. La decisión es tuya. Puedes vivir en lo ordinario, o puedes deleitarte en lo extraordinario, ahora y para siempre. -Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi

Missionary works of Cross Catholic Outreach: Fr. Antony Savarimuthu, our resident priest, will be speaking on behalf of Cross Catholic Outreach and its ministry around the world the weekend of March 28-29. Cross Catholic Outreach 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.

Brochures will be distributed during the weekend of March 28-29, at all Masses; Fr. Antony will preach at all the Masses and explain in depth about Cross Catholic. There will be no second collection. 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. Antony 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.
