From Deacon Conrad Wojnar Dear parishioners: Time is passing quickly. Although it seems that we have just begun the season of Lent, we are now almost to its midpoint. “Repent and believe the Good News.” Do those words that we heard when we were signed with ashes still ring in our ears and reverberate in our hearts? Lent is fundamentally a time of conversion. And conversion is fundamentally a process of becoming more and more a part of the Kingdom of God, while rejecting the glamor of evil. In fact, we should be working on our conversion each and every day of our lives, because it is so critical to our relationship with God and to our eternal happiness. Although the Church has eased Lenten fast and abstinence requirements quite a bit since the Second Vatican Council, it has never stopped insisting that penance and detachment from worldly pleasures form an important part of our Lenten practice. This is because all of us must confront the reality that we cannot lead double lives. As Scripture says, “We cannot serve both God and the flesh.” So then, what is the authentic penitential practice that draws us more and more into the Kingdom of God? Traditionally, the Church summarizes this practice as increased prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Each one of these disciplines draws us more deeply into the Kingdom of God. Prayer is essential, because it builds our relationship with God. All kinds of prayer are powerful, but mental prayer, that is, actually having an interior conversation with God is most helpful. Other aspects of prayer which are often overlooked are thanksgiving for favors received (not just the obvious ones), contrition for our sins and praising the Lord for His bountiful goodness. Fasting is often viewed as not eating or drinking, and that aspect continues to be important for those whose health and station in life permit it. However, fasting can also involve refraining from (even for just a time) various worldly pursuits and pleasures that are not in themselves bad, but which can distract us from conversion. Examples might be watching television, surfing the web, using social media sites, playing videogames, going out to dinner or making unnecessary purchases. Almsgiving can also be viewed more expansively. It should not be just a matter of re-routing some of our excess cash to a worthy cause, but, like the woman in the gospel who gave the temple treasury all she had to live on, be a radical re-assessment of what we really need to live, and an affirmation of our role as stewards of God’s gifts. In addition, this should extend to our time and talents, as we reset our priorities. This is a great time for a re-examination of our Lenten goals and a re-orientation of all aspects of our lives to the Kingdom of God. Deacon Conrad

Queridos feligreses: El tiempo pasa rápido. Aunque parece que acabamos de

comenzar la temporada de Cuaresma, ahora estamos casi en su punto medio. "Arrepiéntete y cree en la Buenas Nueva".

¿Acaso esas palabras que escuchamos cuando estábamos marcados con cenizas aún resuenan en nuestros oídos y

reverberan en nuestros corazones? La Cuaresma es fundamentalmente un tiempo de

conversión. Y la conversión es fundamentalmente un proceso de convertirse cada vez más en una parte del Reino de Dios,

mientras se rechaza el glamour del mal. De hecho, deberíamos estar trabajando en nuestra conversión todos los

días de nuestras vidas, porque es muy importante para nuestra relación con Dios y para nuestra felicidad

eterna. Aunque la Iglesia ha aliviado bastante los

requisitos de la Cuaresma y la abstinencia desde el Concilio Vaticano II, nunca ha dejado de insistir

en que la penitencia y el desapego de los placeres mundanos forman una parte importante de nuestra práctica de la Cuaresma. Esto se debe

a que todos debemos enfrentar la realidad de que no podemos llevar vidas dobles. Como dice la Escritura: "No podemos servir a Dios y a la carne".

Entonces, ¿cuál es la práctica penitencial auténtica que nos atrae cada vez más al Reino de Dios? Tradicionalmente, la

Iglesia resume esta práctica como una mayor oración, ayuno y limosna. Cada una de estas disciplinas nos atrae más

profundamente al Reino de Dios. La oración es esencial, porque construye nuestra relación

con Dios. Todos los tipos de oración son poderosos, pero la oración mental, es decir, tener una conversación interior con

Dios es de gran ayuda. Otros aspectos de la oración que a menudo se pasan por alto son la acción de gracias por los

favores recibidos (no solo los obvios), la contrición por nuestros pecados y alabar al Señor por su generosa bondad.

El ayuno a menudo se considera como no comer o beber, y ese aspecto sigue siendo importante para aquellos cuya

salud y posición en la vida lo permiten. Sin embargo, el ayuno también puede implicar abstenerse (incluso por un tiempo)

de diversas actividades y placeres mundanos que no son en sí mismos malos, pero que pueden distraernos de la

conversión. Los ejemplos pueden ser ver televisión, navegar por la web, usar redes sociales, jugar videojuegos, salir a

cenar o hacer compras innecesarias. La limosna también se puede ver de manera más amplia. No

debería ser solo una cuestión de redirigir parte de nuestro exceso de efectivo a una causa digna, sino, como la mujer en el evangelio que le dio al tesoro del templo todo lo que tenía

para vivir, ser una reevaluación radical de lo que nosotros Realmente necesitamos vivir, y una afirmación de nuestro

papel como mayordomos de los dones de Dios. Además, esto debería extenderse a nuestro tiempo y talento, a medida que

restablecemos nuestras prioridades. Este es un buen momento para volver a examinar nuestros

objetivos de Cuaresma y una reorientación de todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas al Reino de Dios.
