SAVED BY GOD’S LOVE Because the people broke the old cov-enant, God promised a new covenant, not in the blood of oxen and other ani-mals, but in the blood of the Son, Jesus Christ. This new covenant, foreseen from afar by Jeremiah and the proph-ets, was not to be engraved on stone, or written on paper, but carved on our hearts, so that we might know God inti-mately. Not by keeping many laws are we to be saved, but by the love of God, living and real in our hearts through the sacrifice of Christ. Our Eucharist is the pledge of that indwelling of Christ, and of our re-sponse of praise and thanksgiving to God for the mercy, love, and kindness shown to us in forgiving our sins and cleansing our hearts of everything evil. God issues this invitation to intimacy by offering us the chance to have our sufferings transformed into the perfect love of the Savior, who first loved us.

SALVADOS POR EL AMOR DE DIOS

Después de que los israelitas que-brantaron la antigua alianza, Dios prometió una nueva alianza, no con la sangre de bue-yes y otros animales sino con la sangre del Hijo, Jesucristo. Esta nueva alianza, que Jeremías y los profetas habían anticipado, no sería grabada en piedra ni escrita en pa-pel, sino que se escribiría en el corazón, para que pudiéramos conocer a Dios ínti-mamente. La salvación no está en obedecer muchos preceptos, sino en el amor de Dios, que está vivo y es real en nuestro corazón gracias al sacrificio de Cristo. Nuestra Eucaristía es la promesa

del Cristo que vive dentro nuestro y de nuestra respuesta de alabanza y agradecimiento a Dios por su misericordia, amor y bondad al perdonar nuestros pecados y limpiarnos el cora-zón de todo mal. Dios extiende esta invitación a la intimidad al ofrecernos la oportunidad de que nuestro sufrimiento se transforme en el amor perfecto del Salvador, que siempre nos amó.

Miércoles 21 de marzo de 2018

Diferentes sacerdotes estarán disponibles. La confesión es la mejor preparación para

Señor mío, Jesucristo! Dios y Hombre verdadero, Creador, Pa-dre y Redentor mío; por ser quien Eres, Bondad infinita, y porque te amo sobre

todas las cosas, me pesa de todo corazón de haberte ofendido; también me pesa porque puedes castigarme con las penas del infierno. Ayudado de Tu divina gracia propongo firmemente nun-ca más pecar, confesarme y cumplir la penitencia que me fuere impuesta. Amén.

PENITENCIAL RITE AND CONFESSIONS

St Mary’s New Church 6:30 to 7:30 pm

Wednesday March 21, 2018 Different Priests will be available. Confession is the best preparation for Easter.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
