Mother Teresa, as well as St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Jude.
In addition, there will be one of the largest
remaining pieces of the True Cross of Our Lord in the world,
a portion of the Veil of Our Lady and an actual fragment from the Holy Crown of Thorns.
Those in attendance will be able to examine
and venerate each relic.
Today we celebrate the

of the devotion to
Mary, Mother of the Unborn at the 12 noon

Third Sunday in Lent: The Parable of the Fig Tree
Gospel Lk 13:1-9
Nessuno può evitare la sofferenza. Nel Vangelo, Gesù risponde a una domanda sul peccato visto come causa di una tragedia. Gesù risponde: no, le tragedie capitano sia ai buoni che ai cattivi. Comunque, la più grande tragedia é non riconoscere che abbiamo bisogno di conversione. Nessuno sa quando il Signore ci chiederà conto della nostra vita. La tragedia é sapere questo è non prepararsi. Durante la Quaresima ci é data una seconda possibilità. Nella parabola del fico, Gesù é il giardiniere che ci offre perdono. Ci da un’altra possibilità di accettare il suo amore e abbandonare il peccato. Dobbiamo agire ora e rispondere alla sua chiamata. Riflessione: ho paura della confessione? Credo che Dio é presente nel sacerdote? Preghiamo lo Spirito Santo che ci dia il coraggio di superare le barriere che ci impediscono di ricevere la grazia del perdono che troviamo nel sacramento della riconciliazione.
“Nadie está exento del sufrimiento”. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús responde a una pregunta acerca de si el pecado es la causa de una reciente tragedia. Jesús responde: no hay tragedias que pueden llegar a ser buenas o malas. Sin embargo, la mayor tragedia es la de no reconocer nuestra necesidad de arrepen miento. Nadie sabe cuando Dios nos llamará para pedir cuentas de nuestra vida.La tragedia es que sabiéndolo no nos preparamos. En la Cuaresma se nos da una segunda oportunidad. En la parábola de la higuera, nosotros somos el árbol de higo y Dios es el jardinero ofreciéndonos el perdón. El esta dándonos una vez más otra oportunidad para aceptar su amor y dejar el pecado. Debemos de actuar HOY y aceptar su llamado. Reflexión: ¿Tengo miedo a la Confesión? ¿Creo que Dios está verdaderamente presente en el Sacerdote? Ora y pídele fortaleza al Espíritu Santo para superar toda barrera que te impide recibir la Gracia del perdón que se encuentra solo en el Sacramento de La Confesión.

Third Sunday in Lent: The Parable of the Fig Tree
Gospel Lk 13:1-9 Some people told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. Jesus said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!” And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. So, cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’ He said to him in reply, ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. If not, you can cut it down.’” No one is exempt from suffering. In today’s Gospel Jesus responds to a question about sin as the reason for a recent tragedy. Jesus answer is No. Tragedies can come to both good and bad. However, the greatest tragedy is not recognizing our need for repentance. No one knows when God will call us for an accounting of our life. The tragedy is knowing and not preparing. In Lent we are given a second chance. In the fig tree parable, we are the fig tree and God is the Gardner offering forgiveness. He is giving us, again, another opportunity to accept His love and turn from sin. We must act NOW and accept his call. Reflection: Do I fear Confession? Do I believe that God is truly present in the priest? Pray to the Holy Spirit for courage in overcoming any barriers keeping us from receiving the ultimate grace of forgiveness found only in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Third Sunday in Lent: 没有一个人能免受痛苦， 在今天的福音中， 耶稣回答了一个关于罪的问题， 罪是悲剧的起
因。耶稣说“没有任何悲剧同时可以带来好的和坏的。然而最大的悲剧是我们没有认识到自
己需要悔改。我们要数算自己的生命日期，因为谁都不知道天主什么时候召叫我们回去。悲
剧就是所谓的明知故犯。 在四旬期， 这是第二次机会。在无花果树的比喻中， 我们是无花
果，天主是宽恕我们的园丁。祂再一次给我们机会接受祂的爱而远离罪恶。我们现在必须行
动起来，接受他的召唤。
反省：我们害怕办告解吗？我们相信神父真的是天主的代表吗？祈求圣神给我们勇气，克服
一切障碍， 去办告解，因为赦罪的恩典只有在和好圣事中才能得到。
PAGE SIX MARCH 24, 2019
The Holy Father speaks… Lent is a time to ask for God’s grace to chip away at hypocrisy, which is seen in the natural human attempt to appear “worthier than we are”. The Corporal works of mercy are the kind of fasting God wants most. “When you share your bread with someone who is hungry, invite into your home someone who doesn’t have one or is a migrant, when you look for clothing for someone who is without—when you focus on that, you are truly fasting. Too often, people feel they are righteous because they belong to some association that does good or because they go to Mass every Sunday and are not like “those poor things who don’t understand”.
