MY DEAR FRIENDS, MIS QUERIDOS AMIGOS,

Silencio. Ese sonido es tan raro. Muchos de nosotros Silence. That sound is so rare. Many of us avoid silence. evitamos el silencio. Sé que ha habido momentos en mi vida I know there have been times in my life that I have avoided it, que lo he evitado, pero, sin embargo, los momentos más but yet the most blessed times I have had in my spiritual life bendecidos que he tenido en mi vida espiritual son cuando are when I have embraced it. Only in silence can we listen to lo he aceptado. Sólo en silencio podemos escuchar la voz the voice of God. Only in silence can we listen to one another de Dios. Sólo en silencio podemos escucharnos unos a in a culture where we constantly try to yell over the other. otros en una cultura en la que constantemente tratamos de On this First Sunday of Lent, we journey with Jesus into the gritar sobre el otro. En este primer domingo de Cuaresma, desert where the gospel tells us that he had no food and viajamos con Jesús al desierto, donde el Evangelio nos dice was tempted by the devil. Another thing Jesus encountered que no tenía comida y fue tentado por el diablo. Otra cosa in the desert was silence. There was no better way to que Jesús encontró en el desierto fue el silencio. No había prepare for his bout with the devil and for his public ministry mejor manera de prepararse para su lucha con el diablo y than to be embraced by the silence that allows the voice of para su ministerio público que estar envuelto por el silencio the Father to be crystal clear. que permite que la voz del Padre sea cristalina.

So why are we afraid of silence? Why do feel the need to Entonces, ¿por qué tenemos miedo del silencio? constantly fill our lives with noise? We are told that ¿Por qué sentimos la necesidad de llenar constantemente friendships are fostered by good communication, but I have nuestras vidas de ruido? Se nos dice que las amistades son found that my greatest friends and I can be together in fomentadas por una buena comunicación, pero he perfect silence in a car, at a restaurant, or just about encontrado que mis mejores amigos y yo podemos estar anywhere and not say a word and yet communicate so juntos en un silencio perfecto en un coche, en un much. My grandfather was one of the gentlest souls I ever restaurante, o casi en cualquier lugar y no decir una palabra encountered, and he rarely spoke. In the silence of his y sin embargo comunicarnos tanto. Mi abuelo era una de las actions is how he communicated his greatest lessons. almas más gentiles que he encontrado, y rara vez hablaba. My father and I when we go fishing have sometimes gone En el silencio de sus acciones es cómo comunicó sus through long periods of time without talking while our lines mayores lecciones. Mi padre y yo cuando vamos a pescar a are in the water. The only sound is the waves and the veces hemos pasado por largos períodos de tiempo sin breeze. It’s not that we have nothing to talk about. Quite the hablar mientras nuestras varas están en el agua. El único contrary. Silence at times speaks volumes and I’m not sonido son las olas y la brisa. No es que no tengamos nada talking about passive aggressive silent treatment. I’m talking de qué hablar. Todo lo contrario. El silencio a veces habla about the silence that communicates so much love. mucho y no estoy hablando del tratamiento silencioso Just look at St. Joseph who said nothing in the Bible. agresivo pasivo. Hablo del silencio que comunica tanto Look at the brief words of Mary who through her silence amor. Sólo miren a San José que no dijo nada en la Biblia. taught her son so much. We need to make room in our lives Miren las palabras breves de María que a través de su for silence. silencio le enseñó tanto a su hijo. Tenemos que hacer espacio en nuestras vidas para el silencio.

This is our challenge this Lent. As we journey with Jesus Este es nuestro reto esta Cuaresma. Al viajar con Jesús into the desert, we must make room for silence in our lives. hacia el desierto, debemos hacer espacio para el silencio en Sit in the church in the afternoon when it is empty. Go for a nuestra vida. Siéntense en la iglesia por la tarde cuando está walk or a jog without your headphones and without music vacía. Vayan a dar un paseo o a trotar sin los auriculares y and just listen to the wind. Listen to what our Lord listened sin música y sólo escuchen la brisa. Escuchen lo que to during his 40 days in the desert: nothing but silence that nuestro Señor escuchó durante sus 40 días en el desierto: welcomes the voice of the Father. nada más que el silencio que le da la bienvenida a la voz del Padre.

Praying you have a blessed and fruitful Lent, Orando que tengan una Cuaresma bendita y fructífera,

- 8 - A traveling bronze, life-sized sculpture entitled “Angels Unawares” is now on display at Miami’s Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., until April 8. Pope Francis unveiled the original sculpture, created by Canadian artist Timothy Schmalz, in St. Peter’s Square on Sept. 29, 2019, the 105th World Day of Migrants and Refugees. Like the original, the replica weighs 3.5 tons and is 20-feet long. It features indigenous people, Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, Joseph, Mary and Jesus, people from war-torn countries, and Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, patroness of immigrants, among many others. Above the 140 refugees crowded on the raft are the wings of an angel, a reference to the sculpture’s name and to the New Testament’s Hebrews 13:2: “Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels unawares.” Find out more by visiting www.angelsunawares.org and scanning the QR code.

Una escultura itinerante de bronce de tamaño natural titulada "Angels Unawares” (Ángeles sin saberlo) se exhibe ahora en el Bayfront Park de Miami, 301 Biscayne Blvd., donde permanecerá hasta el 8 de abril. El Papa Francisco dio a conocer la escultura original, creada por el artista canadiense Timothy Schmalz, en la Plaza de San Pedro el 29 de septiembre de 2019, el 105o Día Mundial de los Migrantes y Refugiados. Al igual que el original, la réplica pesa 3,5 toneladas y mide 20 pies de largo. Cuenta con indígenas, judíos que huyen de la Alemania nazi, José, María y Jesús, personas de países devastados por la guerra y la madre Frances Xavier Cabrini, patrona de los inmigrantes, entre muchos otros. En el medio de los 140 refugiados apiñados en la balsa hay alas de ángel, una referencia al nombre de la escultura y a Hebreos 13: 2 del Nuevo Testamento: "Y no se olviden de practicar la hospitalidad, ya que por ella, algunos han hospedado ángeles sin saberlo".
