March 25-26, 2017 / 25-26 de marzo, 2017Fourth Sunday of Lent
PASSION PLAY/OBRA DE LA PASION DE CRISTODear Parishioners of Santa Cruz Parish,
We pray that this Lenten Season has been one of deep reflection and love. We know that God has a plan to meet each of you in a personal way this Lent.
Our Religious Education Office strives to minister to all of our parishioners. We work with many adult and teen volunteers to ensure that all programming provides our families with opportunities to grow in faith. Part of our work involves rallying students and volunteers to serve the community through portrayals of the Gospel narratives during special liturgies. This work requires a lot of commitment from participants and many practices in order to prepare.
Unfortunately, this year, we have struggled to find enough vol-unteers to perform the Passion Play at our Palm Sunday and Good Friday services. Many of our students have had very busy schedules and were unable to commit to the participation necessary to put on the Passion Play. For this reason, we will be unable to present a Pas-sion Play this year.
While we are saddened to make this change this year, we are work-ing to prepare a beautiful experience that is sure to draw you deeper into the Gospel narrative. We know God has a perfect plan for all of us.
We thank you for your support and understanding as we work to minister to our parish. You, the families of Santa Cruz Parish, make this ministry a wonderful place where God can be found. Be assured of our continued prayers for our parish community and for a blessed Lenten season.
In Christ,JoAnna RubioDirector of Religious Education
Estimados feligreses de Santa Cruz,Esperamos que esta Cuaresma haya sido de profunda reflexión y
amor. Sabemos que Dios tiene un plan para encontrarse con cada uno de ustedes de una manera personal esta Cuaresma.
Nuestra oficina de Educación Religiosa se esfuerza por atender a todos nuestros feligreses. Trabajamos con muchos voluntarios, adultos y adolescentes, para asegurar que el programa de educación proporcione a nuestras familias oportunidades para crecer en la fe. Parte de nuestro trabajo incluye reunir a estudiantes y voluntarios para servir a la comunidad a través de representaciones, de narrativas del Evangelio, durante liturgias especiales. Este trabajo requiere un gran compromiso de los participantes y muchos ensayos para prepararse.
Este año, por desgracia hemos batallado para encontrar suficientes voluntarios que lleven a cabo la obra de la Pasión de Cristo en nuestros servicios de Domingo de Ramos y Viernes Santo. Muchos de nuestros alumnos tienen horarios muy atareados y no pueden comprometerse a la participación necesaria para ensamblar la obra de la Pasión de Cristo. Por esta razón, no podremos presentar la obra de la Pasión de Cristo este año.
Aunque nos entristeció este cambio este año, estamos preparando una hermosa experiencia que los llevara a algo más profundo en la narración del Evangelio. Sabemos que Dios tiene un plan perfecto para todos nosotros.
Les agradecemos su apoyo y comprensión mientras trabajamos para ministrar a nuestra parroquia. Las familias de la parroquia de Santa Cruz, hacen de este ministerio un lugar maravilloso donde se encuentra Dios. Cuenten con nuestras continuas oraciones por nuestra comunidad parroquial y por una bendecida Cuaresma.
En Cristo,JoAnna RubioCoordinadora-Educación Religiosa

March 25-26Fourth Sunday of LentOn this Sunday, we invite God to cure our blindness and our tendency to see only the appearance of things and people. Sin blinds us and we need to be freed from sin in order to see as God sees and live as God wills. Is there a person or situation in our life that we need to see differently? What new sight or what new insight is God wishing us to see? How is God working to heal blindness in us?
Marzo 25-26Cuarto Domingo de CuaresmaEste domingo, invitamos a Dios a curar nuestra ceguera y nuestra tendencia a ver solo la apariencia de las cosas y las perso-nas. El pecado nos ciega y necesitamos ser liberados del pecado para poder ver tal como Dios nos ve a nosotros y vivir como Dios desea que vivamos ¿Hay alguna persona o situación en nuestra vida que necesitamos ver de manera distinta? ¿Qué nueva visión o que nueva perspectiva Dios desea que veamos? ¿Cómo esta Dios trabajando en nosotros para curar la ceguera?

March 25-26, 2017 / 25-26 de marzo, 2017Fourth Sunday of Lent
Dear parishioners,Our Lenten Penance Service is scheduled for this week, Tuesday
evening in the church beginning at 7:00 p.m. Bishop Joe Vasquez and ten area priests will be present to assist with Confessions, the Sacrament of Penance.
At times our lives can become so busy that we focus our attention on the urgent matters of work, the care of our home and family life. At the same time, our Spiritual Life needs our attention; our desire to live a holy life. If we give time to the Sacrament of Penance then all of the urgent matters of our life will come into focus and we will be able to live a holy life, confident in the strength of the graces, which are given to us through the Sacraments.
The Sacrament of Penance has three levels. When all of these levels are met, Confession reaches its fullest effect in the soul. The three levels are contrition, confession and satisfaction. Of these three levels, contrition is the most important.
Contrition is sorrow for sins and is absolutely necessary to obtain God’s forgiveness. Sorrow for sin is most effective when it comes from our pure love of Him who is so good and who has suffered so much for our redemption. If this perfect contrition is to reach its highest level, it must be accompanied by the intention to avoid sin and to repair the harm personal sin has done and the willingness to participate in the Sacrament of Penance.
The actual Confession is the practice of saying our sins. When we do so, it is important that the telling of our sins to a priest is first of all, humble, then sincere and finally entire. Any attempt to justify personal sins by complaining about the actions of others (drama) is to contaminate the Confession.
Satisfaction is the performance of the penance given by the priest. The purpose of the penance is to make amends even if in a very simple way. If the penance is carried out with simplicity and humility it is very effective. If you receive an extremely difficult penance from a priest in Confession, you may ask for a simpler penance and the priest is obliged to grant your request.
You may effectively augment the penance you receive by prayer, participation in Holy Mass, fasting, almsgiving, the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, the patient endurance of sufferings and sickness and indulgences.
Pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception. She, who was conceived without original sin will come to your aid and help you to live a holy life.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Your Pastor,Father David.
Queridos feligreses,Nuestro Servicio de Penitencia Cuaresmal está programado para esta
semana, el martes por la noche en la iglesia, empezando a las 7:00 p.m. El Obispo Joe Vásquez y diez sacerdotes de la zona estarán presentes para ayudar con las Confesiones, el Sacramento de Penitencia.
A veces nuestra vida puede llegar a estar tan atareada que centramos nuestra atención en lo urgente del trabajo, del cuidado de nuestra familia y vida hogareña. Al mismo tiempo, nuestra Vida Espiritual necesita nuestra atención; nuestro deseo de vivir una vida Santa. Si le damos tiempo al Sacramento de Penitencia todos los asuntos urgentes de nuestra vida se centrarán y podremos vivir una vida Santa, confiados en la potencia de las gracias que se nos dan a través de los Sacramentos.
El Sacramento de Penitencia tiene tres niveles. Cuando se cumplen todos estos niveles, la Confesión alcanza un enorme efecto en el alma. Los tres niveles son contrición, confesión y satisfacción. De estos tres niveles, la contrición es la más importante.
La Contrición es el dolor por los pecados cometidos y es absolutamente necesaria para obtener el perdón de Dios. El dolor por el pecado es más eficaz cuando se trata de nuestro amor puro por Él quien es tan bueno y que ha sufrido tanto por nuestra redención. Para que esta perfecta contrición llegue al nivel más alto, debe ser acompañada por la intención de evitar el pecado y de reparar el daño que ha causado el pecado personal y la voluntad de participar en el Sacramento de la Penitencia.
La Confesión real es la práctica de decir nuestros pecados. Cuando lo hacemos, ante todo es importante relatar nuestros pecados a un sacer-dote, humildemente, sinceramente y completamente. Cualquier intento de justificar nuestros pecados personales quejándonos sobre las acciones de otros (drama) es contaminar la Confesión.
La satisfacción es el cumplimiento de la penitencia dada por el sacer-dote. El propósito de la penitencia es el de rectificar, aunque sea de una manera muy sencilla. Si la penitencia es llevada a cabo con sencillez y humildad, es muy eficaz. Si en confesión, usted recibe una penitencia muy difícil de un sacerdote, usted puede pedir una penitencia más simple y el sacerdote estará obligado a conceder su petición.
Usted puede aumentar efectivamente la penitencia que reciba con oración, participando en la Santa Misa, ayunando, dando limosna, por obras espirituales y corporales de misericordia, la paciente tolerancia de sufrimientos, enfermedades y de indulgencias.
Oremos a la Santísima Virgen María bajo su título de la Inmaculada Concepción. Ella, quien fue concebida sin pecado original, vendrá en nuestra ayuda y nos guiará a vivir una vida Santa.
Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén.
Su Párroco,Padre David.

Our Lady of Fatima Statue2017 is the Centenary of the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima in Portugal. On May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared to three chil-dren: Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia. Her messages which continued until October 13, 1917 focused on the Call to Holiness especially repentance and praying the Rosary.
One of the highlights of the apparitions was the visitation by an Angel who said, “Do not be afraid. I am the angel of peace. Pray with me.” Then, the Angel gave them a prayer, “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love you.”
Our parish church is blessed with a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which was brought from the original church building. The statue is now in the process of restoration and will be com-pleted before May 13.
La estatua de Nuestra Señora de FátimaEste año, 2017, es el centenario de la aparición de la Santísima Virgen María en Fátima en Portugal. El 13 de mayo, 1917 nuestra Señora se les apareció a tres niños: Francisco, Jacinta y Lucía. Sus mensajes cuales continuaron hasta el 13 de octubre de 1917 se centraron en el Llamado a la Santidad, especialmente en el arrepentimiento y rezando el Rosario.
Uno de los aspectos más destacados de las apariciones fue la visitación de un Ángel que dijo: “No tengan miedo. Yo soy el ángel de la paz. Oren conmigo.” Luego, el Ángel les dio una oración, “Dios mío, yo creo, yo te adoro, tengo esperanza y te amo. Te pido perdón por aquellos sin esperanza, que no creen, no adoran y no te aman”.
Nuestra parroquia ha sido bendecida con una estatua de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, que fue traída del edificio de la iglesia original. La estatua ahora está en el proceso de restauración y será terminada antes del 13 de mayo.
