FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT

(Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a — Ephesians 5:8-14 — John 9:1-41)

Seeing Light, Being Light — If you have ever been questioned by people who don’t want to believe you, you have a good idea of what the man born blind went through. And so you also know what the two children who saw Our Lady of La Salette experienced. They were first subjected to interrogation by the

mayor, who did not want his town associated with anything like an apparition, and was by no means disposed to believe in it himself. He even tried to bribe Mélanie, whose family was desperately poor, to

deny what she had seen and heard. After all, who could reasonably be expected to believe that the Blessed Virgin could come to this remote place, and to such persons as these? But, as we read in the first reading,

“Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart.” Even the clergy were naturally skeptical. The last thing they wanted was to have a fraud perpetrated in the name of Our Lady. They, too, questioned the children, trying to trip them up; but, unlike the mayor, they

came away convinced of two things at least: these children were not lying, nor were they remotely capable of making up such a story and such a message. As more light was shed on the event, the more the truth of the event became evident. St. Paul writes that “light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.” He goes so far as to say that Christians are light. The man born blind received light in stages:

physically first, and then spiritually. The hostility he encountered actually helped him to deepen his understanding of what had happened to him, preparing him for his profession of faith at the end of the

story. Lent is half over. It provides an opportunity for us to be gradually enlightened, both over a six week period and from year to year. The discipline of Lent is not meant to be easy. Through it we are challenged,

or we challenge ourselves, to turn ever more toward the light that is Christ. It is time for us to become light.

“Let Your Light Shine”

Saint Paul gives us a wakeup call. As stewards of the light

of Christ, we are to reflect that light with the help of the

Holy Spirit. If Christ’s work has transformed and illumi-

nated our lives, there should be a change. The light of

Christ’s ac ve presence should be at work in us. And as

the light shines within us, we take on the proper es of

that light and we shine too. We are used by God to shine

the light of Christ in the lives of others. A challenging

Lenten reflec on: Is the light of Christ shining in our

hearts? Is the light of Christ reflec ng out from us to

others?

At the 10:00 Mass this weekend, our elect at Blessed Trinity

celebrate the Second Scru ny. The elect are called forward,

accompanied by their sponsors. The presider invites the

community to pray in silence for the elect. The elect are then

invited to assume a posture of prayer; usually by kneeling. Prayers

of intercession are prayed for the elect based on their needs, the

community, and the world. They are usually sung by a cantor in a

slow, deliberate, and ascending movement making for an extremely powerful moment in the ritual.

Following the intercessions, the presider will pray a prayer of exorcism and freedom for the

elect. Included in this prayer will be the laying of hands on the elect, praying for the con nued

freedom from the effects of sin and the influence of the devil, and that God’s Spirit may breathe life

where there was once death due to sin. They receive new strength in the midst of their spiritual

journey and they open their hearts to receive the gi s of the Savior. The elect are then dismissed

from the assembly to con nue to break open their experience of the scru ny and of the word

proclaimed in the assembly.

Mark your calendar!

The Life in the Spirit Seminar will be presented beginning at 9:30 am Saturday, April 22, 2017

con nuing for 7 consecu ve weeks in the Welcome Center Chapel. This is an opportunity to

establish, re-establish or deepen an individual rela onship with God through Jesus, the Christ

and experience a fuller life in the Spirit. For Info, call Be y Ligas 407-859-0845

Lenten Shoe Drive During Lent, would you please consider giving the

children walk some distance up and down the mountain paths to a end. Shoes wear out very quickly. New shoes

may be dropped of in the Narthex or brought to the Parish Office during business hours. Thank you so much for your con nued generosity!

Way of the Cross — Friday’s during Lent at 9:15am & 7pm The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary. Later, for the

many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen

stations currently found in almost every church.

INVITACION Si quieres conocer más sobre la Virgen María a través de las escrituras, te invitamos a un taller de 6 clases, ofrecido por el Sr. Eduardo Domín-guez, comenzando el próximo martes 4 de abril, a las 7:00PM en el Centro Parroquial. En este taller te llevaremos a escudriñar las escritu-ras como preparación para la celebración del Centenario de las Apari-ciones de la Virgen de Fátima el 13 de mayo de 2017. ¡TE ESPERAMOS!

Viendo la luz, Siendo luz (Cuarto domingo de Cuaresma: 1 Samuel 16:1-13; Efesios 5:8-14; Juan 9:1-14) Si nunca fuiste cues onado por personas que no quieren creerte, ya enes una buena idea acerca de las cosas por las que tuvo que pasar el hombre ciego de nacimiento. Y así puedes saber también lo que experimentaron los dos niños que vieron a Nuestra Señora de La Sale e. Ellos fueron primeramente some dos a interrogación, por el alcalde, quien no quería que su poblado se vea asociado con nada como una aparición, y de ningún modo él mismo estaba dis-puesto a creerla. Llegó hasta a intentar sobornar a Melania, cuya familia era desesperadamente pobre, para que niegue lo que había visto y oído. Después de todo, ¿quién podría esperar razonablemente que alguien creyese que la San sima Virgen pu-diera haber venido a este lugar remoto y a personas como esas? Pero como leemos en la primera lectura, “Dios no ve como los hombres, que ven la apariencia; el Señor ve el corazón”. Y naturalmente, hasta los clérigos eran escép cos. Lo úl mo que querían era tener un fraude perpetrado en el nombre de Nuestra Señora. Ellos, también, interrogaron a los niños, intentando hacerles tropezar; pero, al contrario de lo que pasó con el alcalde, ellos resultaron convencidos por lo menos de dos cosas: los niños no men an, y no eran ni remotamente capaces de inventar una historia tal como esa y además con un mensaje tal. Conforme más luz se ponía sobre el acontecimiento, más la verdad del acontecimiento se hacía evidente. San Pablo escribe que “la luz produce toda clase de bondad, jus cia y verdad” Y aun va más allá hasta a afir-mar que los Cris anos son luz. El ciego de nacimiento recibió la luz por etapas: sicamente primero y luego espiritualmente. La hos lidad que encontró le ayudo a profundizarse más en el entendimiento de lo que le había ocurrido, preparándole para su profesión de fe al final del relato. Ya estamos pasando la mitad de la Cuaresma. Se nos da la oportunidad de ser gradualmente iluminados, ya sea en un periodo de seis semanas o de año en año. La disciplina de la Cuaresma no se supone que sea fácil. Por medio de esa disciplina somos desafiados o nos desafiamos a nosotros mismos para dirigirnos aun más hacia la luz que es Cristo. Ya es empo de transformarnos en luz. (Traducido por Hno. Moisés Rueda MS Bolivia)

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana recordamos el nacimiento de uno de nuestros propios héroes: César Estrada Chávez, quien nació en Arizona en 1927 y falleció en Los Ángeles, California en 1993. El racismo y la injusticia de su tiem-po, obligaron a él y su familia a salir de su natal Arizona, pues sus padres perdieron sus tierras a causa de unos malhechores. En 1938 el destino lo llevó a Los Ángeles, al barrio “Sal, si puedes”. Con la ayuda de Dolores Huerta y otras personas, en 1962 fundó el movimiento sindical de campesinos que daría a luz a United Farm Workers para protestar por las injusticias que nuestro pueblo sufría en los viñedos, situación que bien puede describirse como barbarie. Muchos se unieron a la “huelga” y al boicoteo de uvas bajo la bandera roja del águila azteca y el estandarte de Guadalupe. De esta manera, con símbolos de nuestro origen indígena y religioso, César nos enseñó que “Sí se puede” salir adelante. En dos ocasiones, en 1972 y en 1988 respectivamente, debido a que algunos compañeros del movimiento querían incurrir en la violencia para salir adelante, César hizo un ayuno de 24 y 36 días respectivamente. De esta manera exhortó una vez más a todo el movimiento de que sólo mediante el trabajo, la fe y el sacrificio se pueden lograr las cosas. ¡Sí se puede! —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

La Santísima Trinidad Nunca es demasiado pronto para planificar! Seminario de la "Vida en el Espíritu" de la Santísima Trinidad Una serie de siete partes comienza el cuarto sábado de abril de 2017, en inglés. ¿Sabes qué más sucede en todos y cada uno de esos sábados? ¡Misa diaria de 8:30 am! A pesar de que el Seminario comienza después de la Misa, cuán grande sería si todos pu-diésemos reunirnos en la misa como uno solo. "Somos Uno en el Espíritu" dice el canto, ¡qué hermoso experi-mentar verdaderamente "Vida en el Espíritu" con vuestros compañeros, (Ministros Extraordinarios de la Sa-grada Eucaristía a los enfermos y a los que se quedan en casa), asistiendo a la misa primero!
