DAILY READINGS THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
First Reading: Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15 Moses came upon a burning bush, when God called out to him. God told Moses that he had seen the suffering of his people in Egypt, and intended to lead them from their captors to a land of milk and honey. Moses asked what he should say if the Israelites should ask what God wished to be called. God replied, "I am who am." Second Reading: I Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12 Paul describes how the people were led into the desert by Moses, yet many of them were struck down by God. He warns that this should serve as an example not to give in to wicked desires or we may suffer the same downfall. Gospel: Luke 13:1-9 Jesus says that an individual's misfortune does not mean that their sins were greater than someone else's. He warns that without repenting, all sinners will meet the same end. He tells of a barren fig tree whose owner planned to cut it down. But a servant offered to give it special care for one year, and destroy it should it remain barren. This symbolizes God's patience toward us.

MINISTRY
Needed: Team to Welcome New Parishioners
As one of our new ‘Welcoming’ projects in 2016, a small committee has formed to establish ways to make St. Vincent Martyr more welcoming to newly registered parishioners. You are invited to become part of a team to personally welcome a new parishioner (individual or family) with similar characteristics: single, married, widowed, young couples without children, families with young children, families with teens, empty-nesters. These represent seven categories, with some overlap, and to do this, we need a team of volunteers (individuals/couples) to personally welcome just a few new parishioners during the course of the year. Our plan is to have a brief meeting later this month to provide our volunteers with background information, and to discuss the approach we would recommend for meeting and introducing St. Vincent Martyr parish to the newcomers. If you are willing to participate, and we hope you are, would you please email Tom Lewis at [email protected] with your name(s) and contact information. Thank you.

Tercer Domino de Cuaresma
Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
Primera Lectura: Ex 3, 1-8a. 13-15 En aquellos días, Moisés pastoreaba el rebaño de su suegro, Jetró, sacerdote de Madián. En cierta ocasión llevó el rebaño más allá del desierto, hasta el Horeb, el monte de Dios, y el Señor se le apareció en una llama que salía de un zarzal. Moisés observó con gran asombro que la zarza ardía sin consumirse y se dijo: “Voy a ver de cerca esa cosa tan extraña, por qué la zarza no se quema”. Viendo el Señor que Moisés se había desviado para mirar, lo llamó desde la zarza: “¡Moisés, Moisés!” Él respondió: “Aquí estoy”. Le dijo Dios: “¡No te acerques! Quítate las sandalias, porque el lugar que pisas es tierra sagrada”. Y añadió: “Yo soy el Dios de tus padres, el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob”. Entonces Moisés se tapó la cara, porque tuvo miedo de mirar a Dios. Pero el Señor le dijo: “He visto la opresión de mi pueblo en Egipto, he oído sus quejas contra los opresores y
conozco bien sus sufrimientos. He descendido para librar a mi pueblo de la opresión de los egipcios, para sacarlo de aquellas tierras y llevarlo a una tierra buena y espaciosa, una tierra que mana leche y miel”. Moisés le dijo a Dios: “Está bien. Me presentaré a los hijos de Israel y les diré: ‘El Dios de sus padres me envía a ustedes’; pero cuando me pregunten cuál es su nombre, ¿qué les voy a responder?” Dios le contestó a Moisés: “Mi nombre es Yo-soy”; y añadió: “Esto les dirás a los israelitas: ‘Yo-soy me envía a ustedes’. También les dirás: ‘El Señor, el Dios de sus padres, el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac, el Dios de Jacob, me envía a ustedes’. Éste es mi nombre para siempre. Con este nombre me han de recordar de generación en generación”. Segunda Lectura: 1 Cor 10, 1-6. 10-12 Hermanos: No quiero que olviden que en el desierto nuestros padres estuvieron todos bajo la nube, todos cruzaron el Mar Rojo y todos se sometieron a Moisés, por una especie de bautismo en la nube y en el mar. Todos comieron el mismo alimento milagroso y todos bebieron de la misma bebida espiritual, porque bebían de una roca espiritual que los acompañaba, y la roca era Cristo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de ellos desagradaron a Dios y murieron en el desierto. Todo esto sucedió como advertencia para nosotros, a fin de que no codiciemos cosas malas como ellos lo hicieron. No murmuren ustedes como algunos de ellos murmuraron y perecieron a manos del ángel exterminador. Todas estas cosas les sucedieron a nuestros antepasados como un ejemplo para nosotros y fueron puestas en las Escrituras como advertencia para los que vivimos en los últimos tiempos. Así pues, el que crea estar firme, tenga cuidado de no caer.
Evangelio San Lucas 13, 1-9 En aquel tiempo, algunos hombres fueron a ver a Jesús y le contaron que Pilato había mandado matar a unos galileos, mientras estaban ofreciendo sus sacrificios. Jesús les hizo este comentario: “¿Piensan ustedes que aquellos galileos, porque les sucedió esto, eran más pecadores que todos los demás galileos? Ciertamente que no; y si ustedes no se arrepienten, perecerán de manera semejante. Y aquellos dieciocho que murieron aplastados por la torre de Siloé, ¿piensan acaso que eran más culpables que todos los demás habitantes de Jerusalén? Ciertamente que no; y si ustedes no se arrepienten, perecerán de manera semejante”. Entonces les dijo esta parábola: “Un hombre tenía una higuera plantada en su viñedo; fue a buscar higos y no los encontró. Dijo entonces al viñador: ‘Mira, durante tres años seguidos he venido a buscar higos en esta higuera y no los he encontrado. Córtala. ¿Para qué ocupa la tierra inútilmente?’ El viñador le contestó: ‘Señor, déjala todavía este año; voy a aflojar la tierra alrededor y a echarle abono, para ver si da fruto. Si no, el año que viene la cortaré’ ”.

La Higuera: Señor, déjala todavía este año “En el tercer domingo de cuaresma, la Iglesia nos propone un texto que invita a reflexionar sobre los frutos de la vida cristiana, una vida de discípulos de Jesús de Nazareth. En el marco del Jubileo extraordinario de la Misericordia queremos y debemos seguir profundizando en nuestra conversión, reconociendo que muchas veces somos como la higuera estéril. ¿Es mi vida una vida sin frutos? ¿soy consciente del tiempo favorable que tengo aún para la conversión? El jardinero me tiene paciencia, confía en que aún puedo dar frutos…Espera por mí. Se ha jugado por mí.
