Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We continue our Lenten Journey today with the vision of Christ in glory. We are invited to listen to Him as He gently touches us and tells us not to be afraid. We continue to learn and embrace His suffering. Also, it is very important for us as Christians in this season of Lent to listen to His call. We celebrate not only through the sharing of material resources but also when we share our experiences of God. Let us share our moments with God, especially with those whom we feel are being left out by the Church and those who seem to lose hope. We continue to pray and support our Catechumens and Candidates during this time of preparation for full reception into the Church.

Querido Hermanos & Hermanas,

Continuamos nuestra jornada Cuaresmal, hoy con la visión de Cristo en la gloria. Se nos invita a escuchar como gentil-mente nos toca y nos dice que no tengamos miedo. Seguimos aprendiendo y abrazando su sufrimiento. También, es muy importante para nosotros como cristianos en este tiempo de Cuaresma el que podamos escuchar su llamada. Celebramos más significativamente no sólo a través de la puesta en común de los recursos materiales, sino también cuando comparti-mos nuestras experiencias de Dios. Vamos a compartir nuestros momentos con Dios sobre todo con los que sentimos que se han quedado fuera de la Iglesia y los que parecen perder la esperanza. Seguimos orando y apoyando a nuestros catecúmenos y candidatos durante este tiempo de preparación para la recepción completa en la Iglesia.
