Living Our Faith

There are a lot of parallels in today’s gospel between the people around Jesus and the characters in his parable. The Pharisees and scribes pride themselves on always following the rules, just like the obedient older brother. What they can’t see is that they are sinners as well because of their self-righteousness and lack of love for those whom they feel are less worthy… like the tax collectors and sinners. In today’s ‘measure-happy’ society, it is easy to fall into a similar trap where we take it upon ourselves to determine who is worthy of God’s love and who isn’t. As we continue through Lent, try spending a little extra time each day in self-reflection to make sure we look upon all our brothers and sisters as God does and not as the Pharisees and scribes did.

Viviendo Nuestra Fe

En el evangelio de hoy, existen muchos parecidos entre las personas que rodeaban a Jesús y los personajes en la parábola que contaba. Los Fariseos y los escribas se enorgullecen en siempre seguir las reglas de su religión, tal como el hermano obediente. Lo que no pueden ver es que ellos también son pecadores por que se consideran superiores a los demás y no aman a los que ellos consideran inferior....como los colectores de impuestos y los pecadores. En la sociedad de hoy es fácil caer en la misma trampa, cuando pensamos que nosotros podemos determinar quien merece el amor de Dios y quien no lo merece. En cuanto continuamos en la Cuaresma, tomemos unos momentos cada día para autorreflexión para asegurar que vemos a nuestros hermanos y hermanas como Dios los ve y no como los Fariseos y los escribas lo hacían.

ANNouNcemeNts

The Farm grows fresh vegetables for the parish Food Pantry, and we need your help to prepare for a bountiful crop. On March 12th from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., we will be preparing soil and planting tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and squash for the spring and summer seasons. This Work Day is a wonderful way to give back this Lent, learn about the Farm, and help those in need get fresh, organic produce on a weekly basis.

Everyone is welcome, no experience is necessary--come when you can and help as you’re able! The Farm's entrance gate is located on St. Joseph Street, at the southeast corner of St. Louis Church property. Snacks, drinks, and lunch will be provided, please bring gardening tools if you have them (gloves, shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows especially needed).

Contact stlouisfarmatx@gmail.com or visit our website (https://stlouisgarden.wordpress.com) if you have any questions -- we look forward to seeing you at the Farm!
