Apostle’s Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated

at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Credo de los Apóstoles Page 5 Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra. Creo en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, nuestro Señor, que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de Santa María Virgen, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado, descendió a los infiernos, al tercer día resucito de entre los muertos, subió a los cielos y ésta sentado a la derecha de Dios, Padre todopoderoso. Desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a vivos y muertos. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la santa Iglesia católica, la comunión de los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de la carne y la vida eterna. Amén.

Pastor’s Page Page 7 Give and it will be given to you XIX When we talk about an increase of vocations to the priesthood or the religious life we often use the word “generous” in regard to the acceptance of the “call.” It can only be from a generous heart that a man or a woman can successfully respond to the call to give their life for a higher call. It is of the very nature of religious life [without getting too technical] that poverty, chastity and obedience be embraced wholeheartedly as an expression of a monk or a nun’s love for the Lord. While theologians tell us that celibacy is not of the nature of priesthood, it has been the discipline of the Latin Church since early times. I remember in the course on Priesthood that I took at St. Patrick’s Seminary, the professor was making a big deal about celibacy not being a part of priesthood, but my experience having come out of a Protestant Church where celibacy was not valued nor practiced, is that celibacy is the single most impressive factor in the priesthood. That a man would be willing to give his life “generously” in that way communicates that Catholic priests really mean business. To give up wife and family, to give up intimacy and embrace a single, celibate lifestyle is to really put some “skin in the game.” It is to willingly offer a sacrifice, to put Jesus first, last and always. You may say, Father the way you write about it, it must be easy for you? No, we all get lonely and we all have desires for intimacy, but in priesthood as well as religious life, there are benefits that make it worthwhile. To follow Jesus in that way is a great privilege. Is it for everyone? No. It is for those whom Jesus has called? Yes, when a man or woman responds with a generous heart. IHM pray for us, Fr. Jerry Dad y se os Dara XIX Cuando nosotros hablamos sobre el aumento de vocaciones al clero o de la vida religiosa, nosotros casi siempre usamos la palabra “generosidad” sobre la aceptación del “llamado.” Solamente puede ser de un corazón generoso que un hombre o una mujer puede prósperar a contestar al llamado de dar sus vidas por una razón mas poderosa. Es de la misma natura de la vida (sin ser muy técnico) que la pobreza, castidad, y obediencia seán acogidos con todo el corazón como una expresión de amor por el Señor de parte de un monje o de una monja. Mientras que los teólogos nos dicen que el celibato no es de la natura del clero, que ha sido la disciplina de la Iglesia Latina en el principio. Yo me acuerdo en el curso que yo tome sobre sacerdocio cuando estaba en el Seminario de San Patricio, el profesor estaba haciendo una gran cosa sobre el celibato que no era parte del sacerdocio, pero mi experiencia de haber salido de la Iglesia Protestante donde el celibato no era valorado o practicado es que el celibato es el factor mas impresionante en el clero. Que un hombre quisiera voluntariamente dar su vida “generosamente” en esa manera, da a entender que los sacerdotes Católicos realmente están serios. En renunciar a esposa y familia, de rechazar a la intimidad y de aceptar de buena gana un tipo de vida de celibato es verdaderamente ponerlo todo con amor por su vocación y por la comunidad. Voluntariosamente ofrecer un sacrificio, poner a Jesús primero, último y siempre. Ustedes dirán. Padre de la manera que usted escribe sobre esto, será porque es fácil para Usted? No, todos nosotros podemos sentirnos solos y todos tenemos deseos de intimidad, pero en el clero a lo mismo que la vida religiosa, hay beneficios que valen la pena. Seguir a Jesús de esa manera es un gran privilegio. Es esto para todos? No. Es para aquellos que Jesús ha llamado? Si, cuando un hombre o una mujer contesta con un corazón generoso. ICM ora por nosotros, Padre Jerry

Fifth Sunday of Lent How fitting that the first Sunday Angelus of Pope Francis, who has made mercy his papacy’s theme, took place the last time today’s Gospel about Jesus’ encounter with the adulterous woman was proclaimed. “Jesus’ attitude is striking,” Francis declared. “We do not hear words of scorn or condemnation, only words of love, of mercy, an invitation to conversion: ‘Neither do I condemn you’ ” (John 8:11). Francis continued: “God’s face is the face of a merciful father who is always patient. Have you thought about God’s patience, the patience [God] has with each one of us? That is [God’s] mercy. [God] always has patience, patience with us . . . understands us . . . waits for us . . . does not tire of forgiving us” if we return ‘with a contrite heart” (Pope Francis, Angelus address, March 17, 2013). Parishes preparing catechumens may proclaim Jesus’ raising of Lazarus. Referring to Lazarus, and all those “raised” from the “death” of sin, Jesus defines the community’s “mission of mercy”— “Untie him and let him go” (John 11:44). Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma Otra de tantas coincidencias sucede otra vez, el primer Ángelus que rezó el Papa Francisco fue en la fecha en la última vez que se proclamó la historia del Evangelio de hoy, el encuentro de Jesús con la mujer adultera . . . En ese entonces el Papa Francisco dijo que “la actitud de Jesús es sorprendente”. “No escuchamos palabras de condenación o desprecio, solo palabras de amor, de misericordia, una invitación a la conversión: ‘Tampoco yo te condeno’ ” (Juan 8:11). El Papa Francisco continua diciendo: “el rostro de Dios es el de un padre misericordioso, que siempre tiene paciencia. ¿Han pensado en la paciencia de Dios, la paciencia que tiene con cada uno de nosotros? Ésa es su misericordia. Siempre tiene paciencia, paciencia con nosotros, nos comprende, nos espera, no se cansa de perdonarnos si sabemos volver a él con el corazón contrito” (Papa Francisco, Rezo del Ángelus del 17 de marzo de 2013). Las parroquias que están preparando a catecúmenos pueden proclamar la historia de Lázaro cuando vuelve a la vida. Refiriéndose a Lázaro y a todos aquellos que “se despertaron” de la “muerte” del pecado, Jesús define la “misión de misericordia” de la comunidad: “Desátenlo y déjenlo ir” (Juan 11:44).
