OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CHURCH
Fifth Sunday of Lent Reflection
Lent is a season of reflection, re-evaluation, repentance and reconciliation. Lent is a time of
profound grace and we are invited to let that
grace sink in, take root and change us. Through
our observance of these days by listening to the
Scripture from the Lenten liturgies and by participating in the traditional practices of the
Church, we are invited, in this holy season, to
be stripped down and cleansed from all the obstacles that keep us from seeing our true selves
clearly; stripped down so that we may come to
understand more powerfully the Love of God
who embraces all of who we are. There are
many ways to enter into the spirit of the season
and to "observe" these days. It is not so important what we do as it is important that we
do something to make these days different
from all the rest. One great way to enter into
this season is by following the traditional practices of the Church which are: prayer, fasting
and almsgiving. What is great about these practices is that they give us a way to enter into this
season of healing with body and soul; physically and spiritually.
RCIA Celebration of
the Third Scrutiny
During Lent, those preparing for full initiation into
the Roman Catholic
faith have entered into
the Period of Purification and Enlightenment. This is a of intense introspection and
prayer. As the Elect,
Candidates, and our entire community , journey with them toward the
joy of Easter, we take a long, careful look at
where thirsting, blindness, and entombment are
present in our life. Let us pray that these Elect and
Candidates, that they may be given the faith to
acknowledge Christ as the Resurrection and the life.
Please keep our Elect and Candidates,
Marvin Lopez,
Ariasma Lopez, April Watts,
Claudia Rosales, Sabrina Parenti,
Mary Arnold, Judy Doukakis, Matthew Hill,
Francesca Brooks and Tanya Gonzales,
in your prayers

Divine
Sunday
Mercy
Divine Mercy Sunday
is on April 12, 2015. It
is the first Sunday after Easter Sunday.
The Divine Mercy Novena starts on Good
Friday, April 3. The
Novena leaflets will be
on the table near the
church entrance on
Palm Sunday, March
29th.
Jesus told St. Faustine
“On Divine Mercy the very depths of My Tender Mercy are open. The soul that will go to Confession and
receive Holy Communion shall receive complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.
“A simple act of abandonment is enough to overcome
the barriers of darkness and sorrow, of doubt and desperation. The rays of Your Divine Mercy restore hope,
in a special way, to those who feel overwhelmed by the
burden of sin”.
-Pope John Paul II
Almsgiving

Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

QUINTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
PAGE 2
MARZO 22, 2015
SERVIR COMO JESÚS NOS HA SERVIDO
1.- En este último domingo de la Cuaresma, antes de encarar la Semana Santa, se nos presenta la Palabra de
Dios a modo de síntesis de todo lo que hemos ido escuchando y reflexionando en estos domingos. La gran
alianza, la nueva alianza que Dios quiere hacer con las personas va a pasar por la muerte de Jesús en una
cruz. Pero no por la cruz como tal, sino por la actitud de Jesús y la manera de afrontar esa muerte.
2.- Jeremías, en la primera lectura, insiste una vez más en que, a pesar de las muchas infidelidades del pueblo a la Alianza, Dios insiste y permanece fiel. No es la ley la que es mala y por eso no la cumplen las personas. Se trata, más bien, de cambiar a las personas. Y Dios va a hacer algo grande, algo que cambiará el corazón de las personas y les infundirá un espíritu nuevo, algo que ayude a las personas a crecer en confianza en
Dios y en seguridad de que Él es fiel y no nos va a abandonar. Así también nosotros se lo hemos pedido a
Dios en el Salmo respondiendo: “Oh Dios, crea en mí un corazón puro”.
3.- Ese “algo” grandioso de Dios a favor de las personas va a ser la entrega de su propio Hijo en la cruz. Jesús
va a ser el que lleve a cumplimiento esa nueva alianza de Dios con las personas. “Ha llegado la hora”, dice
Jesús, la hora de darle a su vida el verdadero sentido. La actitud de Jesús al afrontar la cruz es morir para dar
fruto: “si el grano de trigo no cae en tierra y muere, queda infecundo; pero si muere, da mucho fruto”.
4.- Jesús va a ser “levantado de la tierra”, es decir, crucificado. Pero con esa muerte va a dar gloria a Dios.
Por eso la voz del cielo habla de “glorificarle otra vez”. Jesús es ese grano de trigo que, muriendo, va a dar
mucho fruto. Y los que queremos ser sus seguidores, hemos de vivir con la misma actitud de servicio, es decir, no pensando tanto en nosotros mismos, sino más en los demás.
5.- Jesús siente angustia por lo que va a pasar, pero también mucha esperanza y confianza en Dios, su Padre.
Jesús siente que su muerte no va a ser en balde y quiere transmitir a sus discípulos que la actitud para vivir la
vida a su estilo es el servicio. El triunfo de Jesús pasa por el silencio y por la muerte, como el grano de trigo.
Aquí vemos el verdadero significado de “perder la vida” por los demás y por Dios, no mirando tanto el satisfacer nuestros caprichos, cuanto en servir como Jesús nos ha servido a todos. Este es el gran signo de identidad de los cristianos. Y cuando uno sirve, sirve a los demás, muere a sí mismo, y sirve sembrando perdón y
amor, que es como Jesús muere, amando y perdonando. Eso es lo que hizo grande la cruz.
6.- La cruz, por sí misma, no tiene ningún sentido, pero Jesús le dio un sentido pleno y total por su forma de
entregar la vida, aceptando el plan amoroso de Dios, esa nueva alianza grabada en los corazones. “Todos me
conocerán – pone Jeremías en boca de Dios – cuando perdone sus crímenes y no recuerde sus pecados”. Y
ahí está Jesús, perdonándonos a todos, crucificando con Él nuestros pecados. Y ahí está Dios, amándonos y
perdonándonos.
7.- Por eso la cruz y la resurrección es el gran signo de la alianza nueva de Dios con las personas. El hombre
entregado y sacrificado ha sido glorificado por Dios. Desde ese momento, en cada corazón Dios ha puesto su
Espíritu Santo, para que, a pesar de nuestras fragilidades y de nuestros pecados, podamos contar con Dios y
con su fuerza para superar cualquier adversidad y para vivir esta vida con el mismo estilo de confianza en
Dios y de servicio a las personas que la vivió Jesús.
8.- Esto es lo que recordamos cada vez que nos acercamos a la Eucaristía. Esto es lo que vamos a vivir, de manera especial,
en la Semana Santa, que comenzaremos el próximo domingo con la entrada triunfal de Jesús en Jerusalén y nuestra procesión con las palmas y los ramos. Es una semana grande, es una semana de fe, es una semana para no olvidar que, cada día,
Dios está con nosotros, en la Eucaristía, en los pobres, en cada persona. A nosotros nos queda acogerles con nuestra actitud de servicio a los demás

We really need
all of Our Lady
of Guadalupe

in this fund
raiser to make
it successful. You do not have to be a parent
of the school to volunteer to help. The dates

There are many ways to help. If you cannot
volunteer physically to work at the Fiesta, perhaps you can help support the Fiesta through a
Silent Auction donation. Some ideas are: Help
create a travel weekend with credit card or frequent flier miles toward a resort hotel or airline tickets, access to a family cabin, condo or
timeshare, sports car rental for the weekend,
limo ride and dinner at a five-star restaurant,
ski tickets, hotel stays. Or how about autographed sports stuff, wine or liquor baskets,
handmade items or services, gas cards, theme
park passes, spa gift certificates. The list is
endless, and of course no donation is too small
and we would appreciate any donation you can
make. Please take a moment and see how you
can contribute. If you cannot help with the Silent Auction there is always FIESTA RAF-
FLE TICKETS, WHICH ARE NOW
AVAILABLE!!! For only $50 you have a
chance to win $5000. Special offer: Purchase
5 tickets and get 1 free or buy 10 tickets and get
3 free. For more information on the raffle,
