“During this lent, let us all ask the Lord: Make our hearts like your own’...a heart which is firm & merciful, attentive
& generous, a heart which is not closed…” ~Pope Francis
The incident of the gospel with the adulteress woman has many lessons for all of us in this
Season of Lent. We are all sinners in greater or lesser degree. We all offend the good God in
many ways. But, thank God, we are not dealing with the Scribes and Pharisees as our judges,
but with a God of Mercy, a God who knows and understands our weaknesses and frailties. No
matter how many and how serious our sins may have been, the mercy and forgiveness of God
is ever there for those who repent. The other lesson for us is that we should try to imitate our
Lord by being more merciful and more compassionate toward others. Too many of us are in-
clined to judge too harshly and heartlessly the neighbor whose sins happen to become public,
while we minimize our own failings because they are secret. Remember our Lord’s words to
the Pharisees: “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone to her”.
Pope Francis says in the Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy that: “Mercy is the very foundation of
the Church’s life. All of her pastoral activity should be caught up in the tenderness she makes present to believers;
nothing in her preaching and in her witness to the world can be lacking in mercy.” The Church’s very credibility is
seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love. The Church “has an endless desire to show mercy”.
[8] Perhaps we have long since forgotten how to show and live the way of mercy. The temptation, on the one hand, to
focus exclusively on justice made us forget that this is only the first, albeit necessary and indispensable step. But the
Church needs to go beyond and strive for a higher and more important goal “
At times when we feel the temptation to condemn or criticize someone, remember the words of Christ: “Be merciful
as your heavenly father is merciful” (lk 6:36) or “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (Mt 7:2)
Fr. Mariano Varela, IVE

PHÚC ÂM: Ga 8, 1-11
"Ai trong các ngươi sạch tội, hãy ném đá chị này trước đi".
Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan.
Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu lên núi cây dầu. Và từ sáng sớm, Người
lại vào trong đền thờ. Toàn dân đến cùng Người, nên Người
ngồi xuống và bắt đầu giảng dạy. Lúc đó, luật sĩ và biệt phái
dẫn đến Người một thiếu phụ bị bắt quả tang phạm tội ngoại
tình, và họ đặt nàng đứng trước mặt mọi người. Họ hỏi
Chúa Giêsu: "Thưa Thầy, thiếu phụ này bị bắt quả tang
phạm tội ngoại tình, mà theo luật Môsê, hạng phụ nữ này
phải bị ném đá. Còn Thầy, Thầy dạy sao?" Họ nói thế có ý
gài bẫy Người để có thể tố cáo Người. Nhưng Chúa Giêsu
cúi xuống, bắt đầu lấy ngón tay viết trên đất. Vì họ cứ hỏi
mãi, nên Người đứng lên và bảo họ: "Ai trong các ngươi
sạch tội, hãy ném đá chị này trước đi". Và Người ngồi
xuống và lại viết trên đất. Nghe nói thế, họ rút lui từng
người một, bắt đầu là những người nhiều tuổi nhất, và còn
lại một mình Chúa Giêsu với người thiếu phụ vẫn đứng đó.
Bấy giờ Chúa Giêsu đứng thẳng dậy và bảo nàng: "Hỡi
thiếu phụ, những người cáo chị đi đâu cả rồi? Không ai kết
án chị ư?" Nàng đáp: "Thưa Thầy, không có ai". Chúa
Giêsu bảo: "Ta cũng thế, Ta không kết tội chị. Vậy chị hãy
đi, và từ nay đừng phạm tội nữa". Đó là lời Chúa.

Hungering to
Grow a New
Tomorrow
This week’s CRS Rice Bowl country is the island nation of Mada-gascar, where we’re reminded of the important role farmers play in caring for God’s creation. As we prepare our meals throughout the week, let us reflect on where our food comes from - and what role we can play in caring for our environment. Visit crsricebowl.org for more information. Rice Bowls may be turned in to one of the
Ushers or the Parish Office.
Reflecting with Scripture
Isaiah 43:16–21; Philippians 3:4b–14; John 12:1–8
Care for Creation God created every plant, every mountaintop, every animal - eve-
rything. And God said that these things are good. We find God
in these good things he made, and so we must take care of crea-
tion, both for ourselves and for all of our human family.
Isaiah draws our attention to God at work in the natural environ-
ment. “See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do
you not perceive it?” Where do we encounter God in creation?
Jesus says, “You always have the poor with you, but you do not
always have me.” Indeed, we now encounter Christ in the cry of the
poor, and the cry of the earth. Do we recognize the suffering Christ
in the poor, in the earth? How do we respond?
This week, CRS Rice Bowl features a woman from Madagascar
whose crops were destroyed in a recent storm. As a farmer, she
needed seeds to get her family back on their feet.
Do we listen to the needs of others, or do we impose our own
assumptions?

5º DOMINGO DE CUARESMA 13 DE MARZO 2016
RENGLONES RECTOS
“Dios escribe derecho en renglones torcidos”, dice el
refrán. El testimonio contundente de san Pablo, cuando
nos dice que todo es basura fuera del conocer a Cristo y
experimentar la fuerza de su Resurrección, es un mensa-
je bien directo y claro –aunque Dios sabe que Pablo an-
duvo por una senda bien torcida antes de recibir la luz
cegadora del Señor.
Isaías nos recuerda que los grandes milagros del pa-
sado no son nada en comparación con la nueva creación
que Dios va a realizar. “¿No lo notan?” nos pregunta el
profeta, como si todavía anduviéramos perdidos por
nuestras sendas torcidas.
Y no hay renglón más derecho que la línea que co-
necta la intensa miseria de una mujer pecadora con la
misericordia de Dios que se muestra en la persona de
Jesús. ¡Eso sí que son Buenas Nuevas!” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
