THE WAY OUT Today’s readings launch us into Lent with the story of salvation. How did we humans get where we are? How do we get out? Genesis—through the Adam and Eve narrative—explains that we got separated from God and happiness through greed, selfishness, arrogance. But, as Paul explained to the Romans, God has not abandoned us, and never will. We get out through the “new Adam,” Jesus Christ, through whom the death of sin is conquered by the life of “overflowing grace.” From the start, though, Jesus—like Adam and Eve, like you and me— had to face “the tempter.” Shown fame and wealth, he was tempted to grab for it. But Jesus saw through such foolishness. During Lent we will look at what the tempter spreads before us daily, then try to make choices that put us on the side of the angels. Copyright © J. S.

The Center is open on Mondays 9:30 am – 6:30 pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30 am – 4 pm. We especially need bilingual (Spanish/English) volunteers.

Carnival Raffle Tickets Due to a change by the Post Office in its interpretation of the rules for bulk mailing, we were not able to mail raffle tickets to you this year. But the Show will still go on!
WE HAVE CONVERTED THE TRADITIONAL RAFFLE TO A SIMPLE 50/50. There will be one grand prize cash drawing and the amount of the prize will be half the value of all tickets sold. That prize could easily exceed the $4000 first prize that was planned for the raffle. We will announce the value of the prize during the carnival as it grows. Following our mailing, many of you would normally send back your ticket stubs with your cash or check donation either by mail or in the collection basket. We want you to do the same thing now but without the ticket stubs. See the following steps
Please write “raffle tickets” on your check or on the envelope should you drop it in the collection basket.
Help Support a Student from Cristo Rey Catholic School in the Dominican Republic.
If you have some of those “return address” stickers that many people use to fill out the tickets, put two dozen of them in the envelope with your donation for us to use. We will fill out the correct number of raffle tickets for you based upon your donation. Ten dollars buys twelve tickets. We had planned on mailing you $20 worth or 24 raffle tickets. Individual tickets are one dollar each. There will only be one cash drawing however there will be many prize drawings regularly throughout the carnival. Winning tickets for these prizes will be returned to the drum for the grand prize drawing. The Grand Prize drawing will be the final event at the carnival. We will draw the winner at 8:00 PM on Sunday, April 6. You do not have to be present to win any of the prizes including the grand prize.
A gift of $70 covers 3 months tuition.

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma 9 de marzo de 2014 “Adorarás al Señor, tu Dios, y a él sólo servirás”. — Mateo 4:10 Domingo 9 de Marzo de 2014. Primer domingo de Cuaresma
Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios El camino cuaresmal que hemos iniciado nos ha de conducir por medio de una intensa oración y el ejercicio voluntario de la austeridad, al término gozoso y salvador de la Pascua de Resurrección. El viaje que emprendemos nos exigirá ilusión por la meta y esfuerzo para avanzar hasta ella. Ningún viaje tiene sentido pleno por sí mismo, y el cansancio que genera es sobrellevado con mayor entusiasmo, a medida que la meta se hace más cercana y atractiva. De algún modo, la Cuaresma es imagen del viaje de nuestra vida, durante la cual, en medio de ilusiones y esfuerzos, entre risas y lágrimas, avanzamos hacia el término definitivo, hacia la Pascua final. La Cuaresma nos motiva para revisar el proceso de la vida entera, en marcha hacia el día de la salvación. Entrar en Cuaresma nos recuerda la necesidad de revisar la mochila de provisiones para el gran viaje. ¿Cómo andamos de fe, alimento del peregrino? Hablamos de una fe que va más allá de recitar el Credo y de tener unas prácticas religiosas; nos referimos a una fe que de suficiente luz como para ver la mano de Dios en los acontecimientos diarios, durante la niebla y el sol de nuestros días, en nuestra relación con las demás personas, en el proceso histórico que nos toca vivir. Una fe, en pocas palabras, que nos ilumine por dentro y por fuera y nos abra el sentido de la vida y su entorno. El Evangelio nos recuerda que la tentación se hace encontradiza en el camino. El mismo Jesús la sufrió en el desierto, y una vez vencida con la armadura de la fe, el demonio se marchó hasta otra ocasión. También nosotros deberemos enfrentarnos con la tentación de ser seducidos por las cosas y la invitación a poner en ellas nuestra esperanza, perseguirlas desordenadamente y pretender construir con ellas nuestro paraíso. Podremos sufrir también las tentaciones del poder y del dominio, de la vanidad y del aplauso ajeno; todos ellos bienes engañosos, porque dice el Evangelio: No solo de pan vive el hombre. Emprendamos la Cuaresma con sinceridad. Escuchemos la voz de nuestro interior y las necesidades del mismo. En nuestro corazón podemos conectar con Dios por una oración más intensa y frecuente y por unas prácticas religiosas constantes y conscientes. Hallaremos actitudes que hemos de revisar y rectificar; concluiremos que no todo está en su lugar porque hemos cedido con frecuencia a la tentación, cuyas consecuencias queremos enmendar siguiendo con fe y fidelidad los pasos del Señor. P. Jairo Para pensarlo
Otras señales de circulación católicas ¡Si piensas que en tu vida todo es oscuridad ora para que Dios sea tu luz y tu claridad! Las dificultades se iluminan más y mejor cuando se mira hacia el cielo. Se hacen insoportables cuando nos empeñamos en solucionarlas por nosotros mismos.
¡Si te ofrecen caminos rápidos para alcanzar el poder y la fama, el dinero o la riqueza... valora los riesgos que trae eso consigo. La riqueza que viene deprisa...suele marcharse con la misma velocidad con que llegó! ¡Si te invitan a recorrer senderos que llevan a tu perdición y tu degradación personal y profesional, que seas capaz de poner los límites necesarios. Recuerda que los hijos de las tinieblas... son más rápidos que los hijos de la luz! ¡Cuando te falten las fuerzas para seguir adelante mira al cielo, eleva una oración y Dios hará lo demás! ¡No pienses que la vida, sólo es para trabajar. Descansa y contempla la naturaleza. Disfruta de todo lo que, tal vez, ya nunca podrás contemplar! ¡Cuando te animen a llegar en primer lugar, piensa que no es más listo quien más corre sino quien, en equipo, llega hasta el final de la meta!
