Reflection of the Week

It has been said many times over and in a variety of ways that stewardship is based upon gratitude. Gratitude for what, we might ask? For the variety of blessings each of us receives, understanding full well that each of us is gifted in different ways and perhaps even in different measures. However, there is one gift in which we all share equally.

“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.” (John 3:16) It is difficult for us to even conceive of the magnitude of that multifaceted gift, from God’s unconditional love for us to the extraordinary gift of his son Jesus to the fabulous gift of everlasting life. Stewardship calls us to appreciate all of God’s gifts, but if we only focus on the gifts listed above, our gratitude should know no bounds. Pope Francis has said, “God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. We all have the ability to understand and receive God’s gifts.” We need to recognize God’s gifts and especially during our preparations for Easter, find ways to show and live out our gratitude.

Lenten Regulations

It is this time of year when most of us are a bit confused about what the proper

observances are for the season

Good Friday are days of fast. Fasting is generally understood to be 1 meal without snacking during the day. Many people mitigate the observances with 2 small meals

that do not equal the sum of the 3rd. All Catholics without medical problems are obliged to the law of fast, beginning at age

18 and continuing through age 59.

All Fridays of Lent and Good Friday, are days of abstinence. This law applies to all Catholics 14 years of age and older. No meat or visible meat products in other foods may be consumed,

including wild game, fowl, lamb, pork or beef. Soy, milk products, eggs, cheese, fish and shellfish are permitted.

Confession will be on Saturdays from 2:30 to 3:30 pm or by

appointment during Lent.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Fourth Sunday of Lent; Second Scrutiny Tuesday: St. Patrick Wednesday: St. Cyril of Jerusalem Thursday: St. Joseph Friday: Abstinence; Spring begins

TRADITIONS OF FAITH With the dissipation of the catechumenate’s energy since almost everyone was born into the Church, Lent began to be seen more as a preparation to follow the Passion of Christ with devotion. In the city of Rome, creative spirits settled on “stational churches” as a way of keeping the energy flowing. Everyone would be directed to a certain “station” each day, and the name of that church provided a theme for the liturgy. So, for example, on certain Saturdays in Lent, everything centered on the church of St. Vitale. Now, this poor fellow had been thrown into a hole and covered in stones at his martyrdom, so the readings recalled Joseph thrown down the well by his brothers, and the wicked servants killing the son of the owner of the vineyard. Gradually, travelers to Rome noted the celebration and worked it into liturgical schedules back home. Eventually, calendars everywhere bore the curious footnote on a Lenten Saturday: “Station S. Vitale.” This served the priority of getting ready to hear the Passion fairly well, but was hardly satisfactory for Lent’s baptismal character. Now, at last, our liturgy is reorganized to serve the deepest level of our tradition exceedingly well. Lent, once again, is all about baptism.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Los católicos en general y los latinoamericanos en particular, somos muy dados al uso de imágenes y símbolos religiosos para acercarnos a Dios o para sentirnos más cerca de él. En realidad el cristianismo entero es así, gracias a la encarnación del Hijo de Dios. Hay quienes critican el uso de imágenes, pero recordemos que Jesús usó imágenes para explicar cómo es Dios. En el Evangelio de Juan (3:14) Jesús recuerda que Moisés había hecho uso de imágenes para sanar a los hebreos. En Números 21:4-9 Dios le pide a Moisés que haga una serpiente de bronce y la levante en alto de tal forma que los hebreos puedan verla. Muchos de ellos habían sido mordidos por serpientes en el desierto y al ver la imagen de bronce sanaban, gracias a Dios. El pueblo de Israel se quedó con la imagen. No obstante, con el paso del tiempo olvidaron que era sólo una imagen y comenzaron a adorarla hasta que el rey Ezequías se vio en la necesidad de destruirla (2 Reyes 18:4). Las imágenes pueden ser útiles para recordarnos la presencia y misericordia de Dios, pero no permitamos que se conviertan en ídolos.
