LIFE FROM DEATH Lent is about Easter, and Easter is about life after death. As we draw closer to Easter, the Sunday readings become more and more explicit about this. In a rather dry, matter-of-fact way, today’s reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans teaches that our “mortal bodies” will be raised to life. But in a far more gripping way, the Lord shouts at us through the prophet Ezekiel, “O my people, I will open your graves . . . I will put my spirit in you . . . I have promised, and I will do it.” When Jesus saw the people weeping over the death of Lazarus, he was troubled in spirit and moved by the deepest emotions. Approaching the tomb, Jesus himself began to weep. He loved Lazarus. In fact, Jesus loved Lazarus so much that he snatched him out of his tomb, back to life. That’s how God loves us. Copyright © J.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There is a geography to the liturgy of baptism that distills the journey of faith. Each part of the liturgy is assigned to a distinct part of the church building. Baptism, whether of infants carried to church by their parents or of adults following the paschal candle into a darkened church at Easter, starts at the door. First, a threshold must be crossed and a new community of meaning and memory encountered for the first time. Then, the celebration moves to the place for God’s Word. Next, as the litany of the saints is sung, there is a procession to the font. Finally, the movement is to the table, the altar of the Eucharist. There, newly baptized adults are brought to the sacred meal, or the parents of infants are blessed and reminded that their child will one day share fully in the table’s banquet. Many Catholic churches honor this geography by placing the font near the door, or at least small vessels with water. The doorway of our church is a place of memory, and a passageway to a new way of living. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

813-885-7861 Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma 6 de abril de 2014 Desde el abismo de mis pecados clamo a ti; Señor, escucha mi clamor. — Salmo 130 (129):1
Domingo 6 de Abril de 2014. Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios
Cuando se habla de la actual crisis de fe, una de las cosas que más llama la atención son los altos porcentajes de los que no creen en la vida más allá de la muerte. No pocos afirman creer en Dios e incluso en Jesucristo y, no obstante, sienten grandes reparos a la hora de afirmar su fe en la vida eterna. Todavía, algunos prefieren adherirse a conceptos exóticos como el de la reencarnación, para darse una respuesta a esta cuestión trascendente, pensando que el paso por muchas vidas diferentes, sería un peregrinaje de purificación. De ahí que el hombre, por si sólo y con sus propios medios, es incapaz de purificarse moralmente. De alguna manera, le ocurre como al niño pequeño, que es muy capaz de ensuciarse, pero es siempre la madre quien lo ha de lavar. Por la luz del Evangelio sabemos que el mal moral produce, además de la ofensa a Dios y a los hermanos, una especie de trauma psicológico, una herida en el alma, en la conciencia, que solamente puede ser curada adecuadamente desde fuera, por la mano amorosa del otro. Sabemos igualmente que la ropa sucia nunca se limpia sola por más vueltas que dé, sino gracias al agua y al detergente. San Pablo lo expone claramente, cuando dice: El cuerpo está sujeto a la muerte a causa del pecado, pero el espíritu vive a causa de la actividad salvadora de Dios. Si el Espíritu del Padre que resucitó a Jesús de entre los muertos, también dará vida a sus cuerpos mortales. Mucho antes el profeta Ezequiel lo había comprendido, cuando escribió: Les infundiré mi espíritu y vivirán. Si la resurrección dependiera de nosotros, si fuéramos nosotros mismos los artífices de nuestra resurrección, si tuviéramos la magia de renacer de nuestras cenizas, entonces lo aceptaríamos con cierta facilidad. Pero no es así: el único protagonista de la vida es Dios, y es Él, el único que puede restaurar una vida que se perdió. Dicho de otra manera: nos gustaría resucitarnos, no que nos resuciten. Como si tuviéramos en nosotros mismos el germen de la vida, cuando, de hecho, no hemos intervenido tan siquiera en el inicio de nuestra vida corporal. Antes de la venida de Jesús, en el Antiguo Testamento, era mucho más difícil confesar la fe en la resurrección. Con todo, encontramos en el libro de Job una espléndida confesión de fe en la vida después de la muerte. El autor de aquel libro pone en boca de Job estas clarísimas palabras: ¡Yo contemplaré a Dios! Yo mismo lo contemplaré, le verán mis propios ojos, no los de otro: mi corazón lo ansía en su interior Job 19:27. A nosotros, después de las palabras de Jesús y muy especialmente después de su resurrección, nos es mucho más fácil llegar a esta confiada confesión de fe P. Jairo 9|
Para pensarlo Pecados a desenmascarar en Cuaresma: La Pereza Yo, tranquilo, el encanto de la comodidad, la felicidad anticipada, el sueño prolongado. La tentación de no comprometerse en nada, de no complicarse la vida para nada, de no esforzarse por nada. Que trabajen los otros, que inventen los otros, que luchen los otros. Lo mío es la paz y el descanso permanente. Yo no hago nada malo dice la pereza, y el perezoso, pero se olvida de que tampoco hace nada bueno, se olvida de que no se pueden enterrar los talentos, se olvida de los gravísimos pecados de omisión. No basta con no hacer daño, lo nuestro es hacer el bien. La pereza, una tentación que se viste con capa de inocencia.

6 de abril de 2014 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Vicente Ferrer, patrón de los obreros de la construcción, falleció el 5 de abril de 1419. Este santo varón nació en Valencia, España, en 1350, vivió y predicó el Evangelio en una época muy difícil del cristianismo. Además de la peste, guerras y otros problemas sociales, la Iglesia estaba dividida por dos o tres hombres que insistían ser el verdadero Papa. Vicente, un religioso dominico, dedicó su vida a reconstruir la Iglesia promoviendo la virtud de la caridad interna y externa mediante una predicación que relacionaba la Palabra de Dios con la vida cotidiana. Vicente se valía de la teología, poesía, repetición y otros medios para inculcar la sabiduría bíblica en sus oyentes. De esta manera supo construir la fe tanto en los fieles y en la Iglesia como comunidad. Los cuadros de este santo español normalmente lo presentan con una llama ardiente en una mano y en la otra, con una Biblia abierta. De esta manera los artistas subrayan el amor ardiente que los cristianos debemos tener por la Palabra de Dios, un amor que Vicente edificaba en el corazón de los fieles. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
