EL VIA CRUCIS Acompáñenos todos los Viernes de Cuaresma a rezar el Vía Crucis a las 6:00 pm. en la Iglesia.

PESCADO FRITO DURANTE LA CUARESMA

También, los invitamos a que nos acompañen durante los Viernes de Cuaresma a disfrutar

del delicioso Pescado Frito en el salón parroquial. De 5:00 pm. a 9:00 pm. $5 por los adultos y $3 por los niños. Bingo es $10 por 10 cartas.

La mayoría de nosotros, si nos preguntaran “¿Aparece la frase ‘los Diez Mandamientos’ en la Biblia?” daríamos

la respuesta errónea, pues la respuesta es “no”. “Los diez mandamientos” es una frase post‑bíblica, que se desarrolló junto con una imagen de Dios como ‘policía’ la cual no se encuentra en el pasaje de hoy del libro del Éxodo. La primera frase es clave: Dios

es el que nos sacó de la esclavitud; cumplir las leyes o mandamientos de Dios es nuestro camino a la libertad. Los cambistas a quienes Jesús echó del templo no estaban violando ninguno de los mandamientos, pero tampoco estaban ayudando a la gente a encontrar el camino hacia la libertad de Dios cuando llegaban al Templo a rezar. Esta es una lección de la Cuaresma importante para nosotros. Tenemos que dejar de preguntarnos si estamos o no violando alguna regla o reglamento específico, y en cambio examinar nuestra vida para ver si verdaderamente estamos siguiendo un camino hacia la libertad de Dios por medio de Cristo.

DIOS ES TRINO Y UNO El Nuevo Testamento nos asegura que Jesús comprende nuestra naturaleza humana (Hebreos 2:17-18).

Él sabe bien lo que es ser humano porque, según la doctrina cristiana, siendo verdaderamente Dios, es humano plena y verdaderamente. Tanto amó Dios al mundo que tomó totalmente nuestra condición humana. Según el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica esto lo hizo para salvarnos del pecado, sanarnos de

la enfermedad/ muerte, mostrarnos su amor, ser nuestro modelo de santidad y hacernos partícipes de su divinidad. Estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios, pero el pecado opaca esta imagen. Como una muestra del amor del Padre, el Hijo se encarnó por obra del Espíritu Santo en el seno de María Virgen, para así renovar en nosotros la imagen de Dios y llevarnos nuevamente a la inocencia original. Dios es Trino y Uno, tres personas en un sólo Dios. El ser humano también es trino. Cuerpo, alma y espíritu (1 Tesalonicenses 5:23) forman una sola persona que es corporal, reflexiva y trascendente. Así como el Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo trabajan juntos, el cuerpo, alma y espíritu de la persona buscan colaborar para seguir al Hijo de Dios que se hizo uno de nosotros.
