Let us pray that God may dispel darkness and be the light that shines in our hearts of our elect and candidates. St. Patrick Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day – we all become Irish for one day.

No necesitamos razones para querer. Ni la madre quiere al hijo por razones, ni los novios se quieren por razones, ni marido y mujer se quieren por razones. Y si se quisiera hacer una lista de razones lógicas de ese amor, al fin la última razón verdadera de ese amor quedaría en el misterio. Y cuando para mantener un amor es necesario andar hurgando para buscar razones, ese amor está empezando a morir bajo las cenizas. El amor es ilógico, supera todo raciocinio, abarca a toda la persona y embarca en la aventura de amar a toda esa persona. Hoy, de camino hacia la Semana Santa se hace un examen de nuestro amor a Dios. Enfrentándonos con el amor ilógico del Señor a nosotros, ¿no necesitamos nosotros demasiadas razones para amar al Señor? ¿Toma su amor todo nuestro ser? ¿Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con toda tu mente y con todo tu ser? “Tanto amó Dios al mundo que entregó a su Hijo único” Envía lo que mas quiere para que vaya a nuestra búsqueda, para que traiga del país extranjero al hijo pródigo, para que salve entre espinos y barrancos a la oveja perdida, aún a sabiendas de que ese Hijo único va a perder su vida en la búsqueda, pero que nos a va encontrar a cada de uno de nosotros. ¿Hay amor más ciego? ¿Más cerrado a razones lógicas? Como nos decía san Pablo el domingo pasado: esta es la grandiosa necedad o estupidez de nuestro Dios. Esa necedad que supera todo saber y todo entender humanos. Que el Señor nos ha amado a nosotros más que más que a Si mismo. “Nadie tiene mayor amor que el que da la vida por sus amigos. Cuando éramos pecadores, es decir, cuando éramos enemigos de Dios, Dios nos da lo que constituye su propia vida, que es su mismo Hijo, a sabiendas de que lo va a perder. Si viéramos este proceder en una persona amiga nuestra, diríamos que es un loco, un estúpido… Y esa es la grandiosa e ininteligible estupidez de nuestro Dios, que no cabe en cabeza humana. “Tanto amó Dios al mundo…” Para el Señor no somos multitud. No somos rebaño. Él conoce a cada una de sus ovejas y las llama por su nombre. No somos un número de Documento Nacional de Identidad. Somos TÚ y YO. - La luz y la verdad. Frente a las "tinieblas", que se presentan aquí como una personificación del mal, se alza la "luz" que es el mismo Hijo de Dios en persona. La venida de la "luz" al mundo denuncia la existencia de las "tinieblas" y, aunque el hijo de Dios no viene a juzgar a nadie, su presencia establece inevitablemente un juicio. La "luz" -y, por lo tanto, la proclamación del evangelio- cuestiona a los hombres y les obliga a decidir entre la fe y la salvación, o la incredulidad y la perdición. Muchos se deciden por la incredulidad, porque sus obras no son buenas. Se habla aquí de "hacer la verdad". Para Juan la verdad, lo mismo que la mentira, no son dos teorías opuestas, sino dos modos contradictorios de vivir. Los que obran perversamente se oponen a la verdad con la mentira de su vida y esconden sus malas obras huyendo de la luz. En cambio, los que hacen la verdad buscan la luz, para que se vean sus obras buenas. Hagamos que nuestra vida se llene de buenas obras.

FOURTH SUNDAYOF LENT PAGE 3 MARCH 15 2015 Guadalupe Fiesta 2015 We really need all of Our Lady of Guadalupe to participate 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 for the Fiesta are April 17th, 18th and 19th. 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 God’s Word Today Such rich fare is offered to us this day from the table of God’s word. The first reading chronicles both the punishment and the great mercy shown by God to the people who “added infidelity to infidelity.” Saint Paul calls this God one “who is rich in mercy.” The greatest merciful act shown by our God is beautifully proclaimed in today’s Gospel: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.” As the word of God is proclaimed today, let us be thankful to God for the gift of the Lord Jesus, who came into this world not to condemn, but to save. 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, please call the parish office.
