From Father Mark Mertes, Pastor: Repent and believe in the gospel!
This past Wednesday we began our observation of Lent by being marked with ashes as the minister said “Repent and believe in the gospel.” Two basic ac-tions are indicated: REPENT, from the Greek “metanoia” or literally “change your mind” and then BELIEVE IN THE GOOD NEWS, which is a procla-mation of the new good thing that God is doing in our lives. I pray for us all as Lent unfolds that we may change our mind about anything that is keeping us from the graces of Christ; change our mind about not deserving forgiveness so that we can experience God’s mercy in its fullness; change our mind about felt resentments so that God can set us free; change our mind about assumptions that cause us to judge others so that we can appreciate them in a new light. Lent is designed to be a spring time of hope and joy for us. This year, may it be so! Thanks to all who have made their pledges and gifts to the Archbish-op’s Call to Share. As of 19 February St. Patrick had pledged 140 gifts (12% of parish households) for $39,345 toward our goal of $75,834. We are so grateful for your decisions to support the ministries of the archdiocese. It is never too late to offer your gift!
¡Arrepiéntete y cree en el evangelio! El miércoles pasado comenzamos nuestra ob-servación de la Cuaresma al ser marcados con ceni-zas cuando el ministro dijo "Arrepiéntete y cree en el evangelio". Se indican dos acciones básicas: ARRE-PENTIRSE, del griego "metanoia" o literalmente "cambiar de opinión" y luego CREER EN LAS BUENAS NOTICIAS, que es una procla-mación del nuevo bien que Dios está haciendo en nuestras vidas. Rezo por todos nosotros mientras la Cuar-esma se desarrolla para que podamos cambiar de opinión sobre cualquier cosa que nos esté alejando de las gracias de Cristo; cambiar de opinión acerca de no merecer el perdón para que podamos experi-mentar la misericordia de Dios en su plenitud; cam-biar nuestra opinión sobre los resentimientos para que Dios pueda liberarnos; cambiar de opinión acer-ca de las opiniones que nos hacen juzgar a los demás para que podamos apreciarlos desde una nueva perspectiva. La Cuaresma está diseñada para ser una primavera de esperanza y alegría para no-sotros. Este año, que sea así! Gracias a todos los que ya hicieron sus promesas y donaciones al Llamado a Compartir del Arzobispo. Hasta el 19 de febrero, St. Patrick ha prometido 140 regalos (12% de los hogares de la parroquia) de $39,345 hacia nuestra meta de $75,834. Estamos muy agradecidos por sus decisiones de apoyar a los ministerios de la arquidiócesis. ¡Nunca es demasiado tarde para of-recer tu regalo!
