Pastor’s Corner

“Me and my household…We will serve the Lord; We will serve the Lord…Me and my household!”

In last Sunday’s Gospel the Samaritan woman said to Jesus, "I know that the Messiah is coming, the one called the Christ; when he comes, he will tell us everything." Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one speaking with you."

This week, John the Evangelist presents to us the account of Jesus curing the blind beggar, who was subsequently interrogated by the Pharisees and thrown out of the synagogue. On finding the man Jesus asks him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" The blind man responds, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?" Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, the one speaking with you is he."

Imagine seeing, hearing, touching Jesus, the Christ; true God and true man! Picture that encounter: you and Jesus. Put yourself in the Gospel setting. Where does the meeting take place; in Jerusalem, by the Sea of Galilee, at Nazareth? How does he look, what is he wearing, what type of voice does he have? Is it daytime, nighttime, summer or winter? What does He say to you? Take a moment to think about that – seriously, close your eyes for a moment and think about what he says to you and what you say to him. (Close your eyes!)

Ok, if you are reading this sentence it means your eyes are now open (just like the blind man in the Gospel) and you have just finished a type of prayer called imaginative prayer – a key component in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola.

During Lent we are instructed by the Church to enhance and embrace 3 particular disciplines: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. How has your Lenten prayer experience been going? Have you increased your prayer life in the last 3 weeks? Taken time for God? – or better yet – for yourself; since prayer doesn’t assist God in anyway because He’s already perfect! Prayer helps us!

I think one of the challenges to increasing our praying (either in quantity or quality) is that we may know only one prayer form (the way we pray). There are many types of praying that can benefit us in our faith journey. I found a good online resource that presents an outline of different prayer forms and provides links to further your understanding. It is entitled “Methods of Praying with the Scriptures” by Rev. Felix Just, S.J. (http://catholic-resources.org/Bible/Prayer-Methods.htm).

I hope this website can help you in developing a better way to communicate with our Loving and merciful God and strength your relationship with Him. In time, perhaps during this scared season of Lent (or maybe it happened a few minutes ago), I’m sure you – like our sister and brother in the Gospel – will here Jesus say, “I am he, the one speaking with you.”

Peace, Fr. Nick

BREVE COMENTARIO A LA LITURGIA DE HOY LA DEVALUACIÓN DE LA FE.

Con nostalgia las personas de más edad podrán decir que "todo tiempo pasado fue mejor", aplicándolo a lo que actualmente estamos viviendo en la Iglesia y a los cambios que vemos en ella. A lo largo de la historia muchas sociedades humanas han visto momentos de esplendor que han ganado gracias a su dedicación y trabajo, pero también la historia ha visto pasar la decadencia de esas mismas sociedades, debido a diferentes causas. La Iglesia misma ha recorrido por diferentes momentos, algunos gloriosos, otros no tanto. Reflexione usted por unos momentos ahora mismo y responda si los creyentes de ahora demuestran tener más fe que los que había cuando usted era joven.

Los que se preparan ahora para recibir algún sacramento han olvidado lo mas importante y creen merecer recibir el sacramento por el solo hecho de haber asistido a algunas sesiones de catecismo que se piden como requisito. Mas importante que la misma asistencia a las clases es que quien va a bautizar, se va a confirmar, o va a hacer su primera comunión sea consciente del sacramento que va a recibir. Que sepa lo que significa; que conozca las implicaciones derivadas de ello. Es el caso de quien dice: "si yo ya hice todos mis sacramentos no tengo por que volver a la Iglesia". En realidad esa frase indica que los sacramentos que recibió no le han servido de mucho.

En nuestros tiempos he encontrado personas a las que se les hace muy pesado recibir unas platicas de catequesis para bautizar, con el argumento de que no tienen tiempo para asistir. Y eso que se trata solamente de una sola sesión de menos de dos horas. Qué harían esas mismas personas en los tiempos de antes, cuando los que se bautizaban debían cumplir con un periodo preparatorio de tres años, y con una rigurosa preparación final, que incluía ayunos, penitencia, oración continua y otros sacrificios, y que tenia lugar durante todo el tiempo que durara la Cuaresma? Podemos afirmar que la frase "yo voy a misa sólo cuando verdaderamente me nace", lo que indica en realidad es una fe muy pobre y un conformismo muy peligroso para la vida espiritual.

Hace unos pocos meses habia una jovencita que Esto Todavía recuerdo el delicioso olor a pan que desde lejos percibía cuando era niño; muchas veces era cuando más hambre tenía, y para mí entonces aumentaban los deseos de comer. Alguna vez, siendo adulto, compré diferentes panes porque se me antojaba de uno y de otro. Comí alguno, pero los otros los guardé. Los días pasaron y cuando recordé que tenía panes fui a buscarlos para comer uno. Se pusieron duros y ya no pude disfrutarlos como cuando estaban recién hechos.

El Salmo 94 habla de evitar que nuestro corazón endurezca. El corazón del hombre en realidad es dulce, es delicioso; cuando más toma la imagen y atributos de Dios, cuánto más hermoso es. Veamos por ejemplo el corazón de un niño, sin rencores, sin conflictos; lleno de esperanzas, de sueños y alegrías. Es como un agradable olor de pan. El corazón, al igual que el pan, puede endurecer. Si no lo mantenemos cerca de Dios, el corazón se va haciendo correoso, porque va perdiendo la suavidad del amor, el olor de la piedad, y el sabor de la santidad. Cuando alguien cree que es superior a los demás, comienza a hacerse duro ante los otros; se va haciendo lejano y cada vez más duro.

Si escuchamos la voz de Dios somos como pan siempre fresco, siempre delicioso para quienes vienen a nosotros. Si reconocemos que Dios es digno de todo nuestro amor y respeto, evitamos que el corazón se nos haga duro; si nos mantenemos cerca de Él y de sus mandatos, conservamos la suavidad de nuestro corazón.

Pero si creemos que no lo necesitamos, o si pensamos que vamos a la misa por cumplir con un mandamiento o norma social o religiosa, en realidad estamos endureciendo el corazón. ¿Y para qué sirve un pan duro entonces? Es cierto que algunos lo ponen a calentar un poco para hacerlo menos duro, pero no nos engañemos: no sabe igual, además de que se ablanda solo un poco mientras que permanezca caliente. El buen pan dura suave y fresco por mucho tiempo. Por eso Jesús, que se hizo Pan para nosotros, es el pan siempre suave y delicioso.
