1ST SUNDAY OF LENT

St. Oscar Romero said, “Aspire not to have more, but to be more.” These powerful words provide the perfect framework for a conversion oriented Lenten experience. God is giving us this Lenten sign to stop being concerned about what you have and focus on who you are. This requires that we create a desert space and listen more attentively for God to reveal His presence. It is all so wonderfully simple on the one hand and so incredibly challenging on the other. The message is simple: love God, neighbor, and self. Those simple words make great sense, but we struggle translating them into reality. Our attachments, compulsions, obsessions, addictions, routines, and busyness all anchor us to the “idol of the self,” keeping us mired in our compulsive need for self-aggrandizement. It’s not about us!

God vowed, long ago, to nurture, sustain and protect the relationship He has with His people. He called us into being, nurtures us in being, and sustains us in being. Without the Loving Divine Presence, all life would cease. Once we slow down a bit and clear away some of the clutter, we can see how the journey of our life is unfolding. We can see what brings us in and out of tune with God’s love and how we can better imitate God’s loving ﬁdelity in our relationship with Him. In short, we will see our myopic short sightedness and ﬁgure out how we can better share the Divine Fire within with others. Lent isn’t just about giving stuff up for forty days and indulging again at Easter. We need to push things much farther and wrestle with the question of how we can be more. “Being more” means becoming more fully alive and in touch with the holiness of life and the divinity that lives in and empowers all beings and things. It is realizing that the “quality” of our presence is crucial to being an effective witness and herald of God’s unconditional love.

The illusion we have bought into causes us to believe that the wrong things and systems matter. We tirelessly ﬁght to keep things the way they are, to return to the former ways of doing things or restore some nostalgic fantasy memory of “life in the good old days.” Lent isn’t about maintaining what we have or returning to something that is gone. It’s about becoming something new. It’s about being more focused,

centered, convicted, and grounded so that we can be a person who truly loves and On this feast we don't treasures being made in the image of God. The secret to Gospel living is not found in celebrate where the Apostle accumulating anything for ourselves, even merit points for heaven. Gospel living Peter sat down, but we means learning how to live with less so that others can live with more. The thought of celebrate the Church and permanently giving something up makes us feel uncomfortable. Truth often does. her apostolic origin. As Pope ©LPi

Benedict XVIII said, "it is a

mission of Peter and his LENTANDO UN ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA

Estas prácticas cuaresmales ayudan a llegar a la Pascua preparados y ligeros de equipaje. Este tiempo es un PRAYER llamado fuerte a la conversión. “El tiempo se ha cumplido, el Reino de Dios está cerca. Renuncien a su mal camino y crean en la Buena Nueva”. (Marcos 1:15). El Grant, we pray, almighty Evangelio de Marcos no explica las tentaciones de Jesús como Mateo y Lucas. God, that no tempests may Marcos solo lo especifica así: “Enseguida el Espíritu lo empujó al desierto. Estuvo disturb us, for you have set cuarenta días en el desierto y fue tentado por Satanás. Vivía entre los animales salvajes y los ángeles le servían”.

Dear Parishioners, as we are re-opening our public Mass again, we humbly request you to help us keep our parish community safe and protected by strictly following rules given by the Diocese and the health department. Our ushers will be there to assist you if you need any help.

1. If you are sick or have been in contact with someone who is sick, please plan to stay home. 2. If someone in your family is sick, please plan to stay home. We, at the parish will pray for all those who are not able to be at Mass. 3. Make sure you are properly wearing your MASK at all times during the Mass and inside the church building. Properly wearing a mask means the mask covers both your nose and your mouth completely. You should only lower your mask while receiving Holy Communion and the mask should be put on properly after consuming the host. 4. Please make sure that your hands are sprayed with sanitizer when you enter the church and just before Communion. 5. Please avoid gathering in the narthex/pavilion after the Mass. 6. Please follow the instructions of the ushers.
