FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
This Wednesday, the 5th we begin the holy season of Lent – a word from the Middle English, lenten, meaning “springtime.” The Lenten season lasts forty days because Jesus went into the desert for forty days of fasting, meditation and reflection at the beginning of his ministry.
The Congregation for Divine Worship describes Lent as a time of preparation for Easter. “It is a time to hear the Word of God, to convert, to prepare for and remember Baptism, to be reconciled with God and one’s neighbor, and of more frequent recourse to the ‘arms of Christian penance’: prayer, fasting and almsgiving.”
Let me now cite some paragraphs from the Lenten Message of Pope Francis which might be very helpful on our path of conversion as individuals and as a community.
The Holy Father, inspired by St. Paul’s words to the Corinthians, For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich (2 Cor8:9) invites all the faithful to a life of evangelical poverty. He then makes his first point (Christ’s Grace), saying that our Lord’s example, who moved by an infinite charity, did “not reveal himself cloaked in worldly power and wealth but rather in weakness and poverty.” He further explains that it was His love which is grace, His generosity and His desire to draw near that made Christ choose to be poor and not hesitate to offer himself in sacrifice for the beloved.
“God did not let our salvation drop down from heaven, like someone who gives alms from their abundance out of a sense of altruism and piety.” He did it so to be among us who need forgiveness, to take upon himself the burden of our sins and in doing so to comfort us, to free us from our misery. Nonetheless, “Jesus did not seek poverty for its own sake” but so that by his poverty we might become rich.
Pope Francis wonders what is this poverty by which Jesus frees and enriches us, “It is his way of loving us, his way of being our neighbor, just as the Good Samaritan was neighbor to the man left half dead by the side of the road. What gives us true freedom, true salvation and true happiness is the compassion, tenderness and solidarity of his love. Christ’s poverty which enriches us is his taking flesh and bearing our weaknesses and sins as an expression of God’s infinite mercy to us. Christ’s poverty is the greatest treasure of all: Jesus’ wealth is that of his boundless confidence in God the Father, his constant trust, his desire always and only to do the Father’s will and give glory to him. Jesus is rich in the same way as a child who feels loved and who loves its parents, without doubting their love and tenderness for an instant. Jesus’ wealth lies in his being the Son.”
In the second point of his message, Our Witness, the Pope warns us not to think that evangelical poverty was Jesus’ way because “God continues to save mankind and the world through the poverty of Christ, who makes himself poor in the sacraments, in his word and in his Church.” So our challenge is that “In imitation of our Master, we Christians are called to confront the poverty of our brothers and sisters, to touch it, to make it our own and to take practical steps to alleviate it.”
There are many forms of poverty, he said, like the material destitution that disfigures the face of humanity and the moral destitution of being a slave to vice and sin. But “there is only one real kind of poverty: not living as children of God and brothers and sisters of Christ.” The real antidote to this spiritual destitution is the Gospel: “wherever we go, we are called to proclaim the liberating news that forgiveness for sins committed is possible, that God is greater than our sinfulness, that he freely loves us at all times and that we were made for communion and eternal life.” The Holy Father concludes: “Lent is a fitting time for self-denial; we would do well to ask ourselves what we can give up in order to help and enrich others by our own poverty. Let us not forget that real poverty hurts: no self-denial is real without this dimension of penance. I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.”
May our Blessed Mother guides through this journey of Lent to desire and deserve, to hear Christ tell us at the last day that inasmuch as we did good to one of the least of his brethren we did it to him!
Peace of Christ, Fr. Gustavo Nieto, IVE

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
May this Lenten season find the whole Church ready to bear witness to [all those who live in material, moral and spiritual destitution to] the Gospel message of the merciful love of God our Father, who is ready to embrace everyone in Christ. We can do this to the extent that we imitate Christ who became poor and enriched us by his poverty. Lent is a fitting time for self-denial; we would do well to ask ourselves what we can give up in order to help and enrich others by our own poverty. Let us not forget that real poverty hurts: no self-denial is real without this dimension of penance. I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt. . .In expressing this hope, I likewise pray that each individual member of the faithful and every Church community will undertake a fruitful Lenten journey. I ask all of you to pray for me. May the Lord bless you and Our Lady keep you safe. —FRANCISCUS The full message can be found at www.vatican.va

Lent: A solemn observance of the great central act of history, the redemption of the human race by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The beginning of the forty days of penance is marked with the austere symbol of ashes (Ash Wednesday). The Alleluia and the Gloria are suppressed until Easter. Abstinence from eating meat is to be observed on all Fridays during Lent. This applies to all persons 14 and older. The law of fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday applies to all Catholics from age 18 through age 59.

Will You Give Him the Gift of One Hour?
What could you gain by spending that hour in the presence of our Savior, Jesus, in silence. . Peace of mind? Tranquility? Graces? Answers to prayer?
For questions, call: Gloria Relloma (408) 262-8232 or Mother Ana de Jesus (408) 988-4160.

What is Eucharistic Adoration? The Eucharist is the actual body, blood, soul, and divinity of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. By adoring the Eucharist we are reminded in a very tangible way of God’s love for humanity and his promise to mankind,
168 HOURS in a week. It takes ~336 people to keep adoration going 24/7, and another 75 adorers as substitutes. That is a total of 411 people. Will you be among the few?
Perpetual adoration is forever, but one’s life changes over time. Don’t be afraid to commit to adoration, even if you might have to change your commitment in the future.

An Invitation from Third Order Carmelites:
On March 4 (Shrove Tuesday), Holy Mother Church recognizes The Holy Face of Jesus. Given by Our Lord in August, 1843, to the French Carmelite nun Sister Marie of St. Peter, the Holy Face devotion was especially meant as reparation for blasphemy: “While opening His Heart to her, Jesus complained bitterly of blasphemy. He said that this most grievous sin was the sin that most offends the divine Majesty; more than all other sins, for it was like "a poisoned arrow." St. Therese of Lisieux, The Little Flower, was so devoted to the Holy Face that when taking the full Carmelite habit, she added “and The Holy Face” to her religious name (Therese of the Child Jesus and The Holy Face)." To learn more, come to the Family Learning Center Rm. 1216 on March 9, 1:00 - 4:30 or call Frank Cirimele at 408/723-8590
