Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus. -- Philippians 2:5

From the desk of Fr. Roberto Is it ever too late to Repent? In this weekend’s first reading when we hear, “But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed, he does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life,” we immediately ask ourselves, “is it ever too late?” What if I have been a sinner all of my life and have forgotten our Lord? What if I have com-mitted a very grave offense? Will God forgive me? Is it too late? The answer is that it is NEVER too late, for God will AL-WAYS forgive. Many times we doubt that we are worthy, or we believe that the sin we have committed is unforgiveable. What we tend to forget is that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and it is He that has carried the burden of our sins and paid the ransom for many. It is Jesus Christ who shed his blood and died upon the Cross so that we may turn to Him and say, “Jesus, I’m sorry.” We turn to Our Lord, and He turns towards us, and embrac-es us, forgives us, and loves us. No matter what. There is no sin too big, or too ugly, or too frequently committed that the precious Blood of Christ cannot wash away. There is absolute-ly NOTHING that Our Lord will not forgive, and it is NEVER too late. All we have to do is turn to Him and let him love us. Never doubt this. Every time you look to the Crucifix, you see God waiting to love you. All you have to do is come to Him. May Our Lord Bless you!

28 de septiembre de 2014 - Vigesimo Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ESPAÑOL/SPANISH

EXPOSICION DEL SANTISIMO Viernes, Octubre 3, 2014 de 8:00 AM a las 5 PM. Habrá

adoración a las 12:00 PM Acompáñenos a rezar.

Del escritorio del Padre Roberto En la primera lectura de esta semana cuando escuchamos, “Y si el malvado se aparta del mal que ha cometido para practicar el derecho y la justicia, conser-vará su vida,” inmediatamente nos pre-guntamos, ¿cuándo es muy tarde para arrepentirse? ¿Que tal si e sido un peca-dor toda mi vida y e olvidado al Señor? ¿Qué tal si e cometido una ofensa muy grave? ¿Dios me perdonará? ¿Es muy tarde? La respuesta es que NUNCA es muy tarde, pues Dios SIEMPRE perdona. Muchas veces dudamos si somos dignos, o creemos que el pecado que cometimos es imperdonable. Lo que tendemos a olvidar es que el Verbo se hizo carne y habitó entre nosotros, y es Él el que ha cargado la pena de nuestros pecados y ha pagado por ellos. Es Cristo Jesús el que derramo su sangre y murió clavado en la Cruz para que podamos voltear hacia el y decirle, “Jesús, perdóname.” Volteamos hacia Nuestro Señor, y El voltea hacia nosotros, nos abraza, nos perdona, y nos ama. Sin duda y pase lo que pase. No hay pecado tan grande, o tan feo, o tan frecuentemente cometido que la preciosa Sangre de Cristo no pue-da purificar. Hay absolutamente NADA que Nuestro Señor no perdone, y NUN-CA es muy tarde. Lo único que tenemos que hacer es voltear hacia El y dejarlo que nos ame. Nunca duden de esto. Cada vez que veas el Crucifijo, ves a Dios esperando amarte. Solo tienes que ir hacia El. ¡Que Nuestro Señor los bendiga!

Padre Roberto
