My current state: Before you can consider where you are going, it is good to start reflec ng on where you are now. Why are these ques ons preoccupying me? What are the resources that can assist me in finding answers to my ques ons? Who are some of the people I can turn to and talk with? Are there pressing ma ers that I need to a end to before I can get to the deeper ques ons of my voca on?

For more informa on, contact Fr. Gabriel, learn more about discerning your voca on, or pray about your voca on.

KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH There's no be er way to deepen our Lenten prac ce than to review the Ten Commandments. The first three, having to do with our right rela onship to God, get the most ink. The one we busy people probably have the most problem with is keeping holy the Sabbath. If we take this commandment literally, babies will go undiapered and dishes will stay on the table, or perhaps meals will not be served. The sick will go una ended and nothing that has anything to do with physical labor will be done. Is mental labor really work? How about changing that dirty diaper (poor baby!)? We need to depend on God to discern how to observe real Sabbath me in our lives. The point of this commandment is that God has given us a great gi : one whole day per week when we are free to rest, worship God, sing, feast, love, and rejoice. As Psalm 19 proclaims: "The law of the LORD is perfect, / refreshing the soul" (19:8). Our Sabbath rest is a great gi , to be received from God with joy, not with nitpicking. Copyright (c) J. S.

SANTIFICA EL SÁBADO No hay mejor forma de profundizar nuestras devociones de Cuaresma que repasar los Diez Mandamientos. Los primeros tres, los cuales se refieren a una buena relación con Dios, son más extensos. Quizás el que más nos cueste a nosotros, que siempre estamos tan ocupados, es san ficar las fiestas refiriéndose al día del Señor. Si tomáramos este mandamiento literalmente, no cambiaríamos a los bebés, los platos quedarían en la mesa y quizás ni siquiera serviríamos las comidas. Los enfermos no serían atendidos y no se haría nada que estuviera relacionado con el trabajo sico. ¿Se considera trabajo al trabajo mental? ¿Y qué hay de cambiarle el pañal al bebé (¡pobrecito!)? Debemos depender de Dios para discernir de qué manera debemos respetar y san ficar el día del Señor en nuestras vidas. La clave de este mandamiento es que Dios nos ha dado un gran regalo: un día entero por semana en el cual somos libres para descansar, rendirle culto a Dios, cantar, celebrar, amar y alegrarnos. Como proclama el Salmo 19 (18): "Los mandatos del Señor son rectos y alegran el corazón" (19 [18]:8). Nuestro descanso del domingo es un gran regalo que debemos recibir de Dios con alegría, no poniendo peros. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION If your parish is reading from Year B of the Lec onary today, and not Year A, (8:30 AM Mass will hear the year A readings here at Sts. Peter and Paul) as is normally done when there are elect present for the scru nies and preparing for Easter bap sm, you hear about Jesus driving the money-changers from the temple. If you wished to get as close as possible to this site today, you would in fact be at a Muslim shrine, the Dome of the Rock, built on the ruins of Herod's temple. Archeologists believe that this striking, gold-domed crown of a shrine is set precisely where the Holy of Holies once was. Jews believe that the rock is the exact spot where Abraham was prepared to sacrifice Isaac. It is not a mosque, as some think, but a shrine, the oldest one in the Muslim world. For them, the rock is the place from which the Prophet Mohammed ascended on a visit to heaven. The Crusaders mistook the shrine for the actual Temple of Solomon, and the infamous Knights Templar used it as their headquarters and model for their churches elsewhere. The geometric perfec on of the shrine is a mathema cian's dream. The inscrip ons are not exactly hospitable though, since they encourage Chris ans to "depart from error" and declare that "Jesus son of Mary was only a messenger of God." In ancient

mes, those who prayed here a er walking around the rock were given a cer ficate en tling the bearer to admission to paradise. The cket had to be buried with them. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co

During Lent it is important to pray, many misunderstand what prayer is. They think to pray is just reci ng memorized prayers or hope prayer will produce extraordinary visions such as the transfigura on of Jesus on Mount Tabor. I'm not saying that these things don’t happen, many people have experienced it, some of them for being very holy while others for being crazy. Sincerely, prayer is something else, it is easier than learning sentences from memory and much simpler than ecstasies and visions. To pray is to speak as a son or daughter to the God who loves us as a mother, father, brother, sister, lover and friend. To pray is to tell the Lord how things are going, our fears, our problems, our joys and our desires. To pray is to spend

me with God, some mes talking, and some mes quiet, but always loved. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Durante la Cuaresma es importante orar, pero muchas personas se declaran ignorantes sobre el tema de la oración. Dicen que nunca aprendieron a orar o que les gustaría poder orar mejor. Tristemente, muchos enen un entendimiento equivocado sobre lo que es la oración. Piensan que orar es solo recitar oraciones memorizadas o esperan que la oración produzca visiones extraordinarias como la transfiguración de Jesucristo en el monte Tabor. Esperan que patriarcas y profetas, o por lo menos ángeles y santos, se les aparezcan de repente. No digo que estas cosas no pasan, muchas personas lo han experimentado, algunos de ellos por ser muy santos mientras otros más por ser locos. Sinceramente la oración es otra cosa, es más fácil que aprender oraciones de memoria y mucho más simple que éxtasis y visiones. Orar es hablar como hijo o hija al Dios que nos ama como madre, padre, hermano, hermana, amante y amigo. Orar es contarle al Señor como nos van las cosas, nuestros temores, nuestros problemas, nuestros gozos y nuestros anhelos. Orar es pasar empo con Dios, a veces pla cando, y a veces calladitos, pero siempre amados. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Almighty God, we are in need of rain. We realize now, looking up to the clear blue sky above, what a marvel even the least drop of rain really is. To think that so much water can fall out of the sky, which now is empty and clear. We place our trust in You. We are sure that You know our needs, but You want us to ask You anyway, to show You that we know we are dependent on You. Look on our dry fields, dear God, and bless them with the living blessing of so rain. The land will rejoice, and the rivers will sing Your praises, and the hearts of men will be glad. Amen!

Nuestros campos parecen desiertos y la desolación se ve por to-dos lados. Nuestras almas, como la erra, esperan con ansia tus bendiciones. Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo; Tú prome ste escuchar la plegaria del que te pide con fe ¿permi rás que tus hijos sufran hambre y escasez? Para que no falte el pan de cada día en-víanos Señor la bendición de la lluvia. ¡Señor! envía desde el cielo la lluvia sobre nuestros campos para fecundarlos y sobre nuestras ciudades para calmar nuestra sed y remediar las múl ples necesi-dades; te lo pedimos, Padre amoroso, por nuestro Señor Jesucristo tu Hijo... Amén.
