MARCH 17, 2019 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
Prayer for an End to Infanticide The U.S. Senate recently failed to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act—legislation that prohibits infanticide by ensuring that a child born alive following an attempted abortion would receive the same degree of care to preserve her or his life and health as would be given to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. Please join us in prayer for an end to infanticide:
“Jesus, Lord of Life, transform the hearts of our elected leaders to recognize that infanticide is wrong and must not be tolerated. We especially pray for our Senator(s) __________ (and __________). Open his/her/their heart(s) and mind(s) to recognize and defend the precious gift of every human life.”
Or (if your senators supported the prohibition on infanticide)
“Jesus, Lord of Life, transform the hearts of all elected leaders to recognize that infanticide is wrong and must not be tolerated. Open hearts and minds to recognize and defend the precious gift of every human life.”
Note: To determine your senators’ votes on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, go to: http://www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/born-alive-bill.cfm

Catholic and Hospice - Floating on a River of God's Grace The word "hospice" can raise a lot of scary and confusing questions. Please join us for a workshop on what hospice care is all about. Learn how it is in keeping with Catholic Church teachings on dying with dignity and how it can be a life-giving experience for patient and family alike. Come and hear from hospice professionals. Q&A will follow the presentation. RSVP at stmartindp.org/rsvp. Join us on Tuesday March 26th from 1:00pm - 2:30pm in Room 4, St. Dominic. This workshop will be repeated on Monday, April 1st at 7:00pm, same location.
Lent is a call not just to “give up something” but more important to “give something for the poor.” Wherever you live in the parish, there are poor families within walking distance of your home. When in need, they
ring the rectory bell. They are, in effect, ringing your doorbell. Is there a family you know who needs assistance? Please call the Society of St. Vincent de Paul so that together we can help the suffering and poor. Food Pantry Needs: Rotel Tomatoes, Canned or Packaged Tuna and Chicken, Granola Bars, Chili, Soups, Canned Peaches and Cheese/Peanut Butter Crackers.

17 DE MARZO DE 2019 SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
No hay duda, todos somos capaces de distinguir la belleza de la creación, quedamos maravillados, deslumbrados ante un cielo estrellado, un atardecer. De la misma manera nos impacta el testimonio de una buena obra, de un hombre santo, de un acto de heroísmo. También es cierto que cuando algo sobrepasa nuestras capacidades quedamos atónitos, sin poder explicarlo o manifestarlo verbalmente, y, si lo hacemos, lo hacemos “más o menos”. Sin embargo, el mundo se ha malacostumbrado a pedir milagros que pasen – según él- las líneas de lo meramente natural; quiere lo espectacular, quiere actos de magia, un atardecer o una noche estrellada ya no le dice nada. Cuándo seremos capaces de saber que la maravilla del amor de Dios, su rostro transfigurado, se muestra en esas personas que saben decir siempre sí ante los retos actuales del cristianismo. Ahora mismo debo hacerme la pregunta de si realmente contemplando lo maravilloso del rostro de Cristo, me puedo quedar con una actitud sólo de contemplación o de mero espectador, queriendo hacer “mi tiendita” para sentirme solamente “bien” y no ver lo que significa el contemplar el rostro de Cristo y querer el compromiso de llevarle a los demás.
Qué bien se está aquí. Sí, qué bien se está aquí. Pero Señor, ¿por qué no dejaste a Pedro que permaneciera en esa calma? ¿Por qué lo sacaste de ese momento de contemplación? Y a mí me haces lo mismo. En medio del sosiego de mi oración, alguna dificultad irrumpe en el silencio. Cuando pienso que todo es hermoso, me anuncias la cruz. Cuando pienso que el día es claro, llega la tormenta. ¿Por qué no me dejas más tiempo en mi sueño? ¿Por qué no me dejas poner una tienda? Señor, me doy cuenta que ésa es la vida del cristiano. Levantarse, contemplar la gloria y, al mismo tiempo, cargar con la cruz de cada día. Cuando miro el sol, sólo lo puedo hacer por unos breves instantes, porque después todo se oscurece. En esta vida puedo ver la gloria, porque es a donde voy, pero tengo que seguir caminando. No será fácil, tengo que sudar. Tengo que esforzarme en los tramos más difíciles. Tengo que entrar por la puerta estrecha.
En mi vida cotidiana me encuentro muchos momentos para demostrarte que de verdad quiero ser santo. A veces me cuesta mucho ser humilde. Cuando me ofenden y hablan mal de mí a mis espaldas, qué difícil es callar. Cuando hay problemas en casa o cuando tengo un pleito con un compañero, a veces, Señor, tengo ganas de quejarme. A veces me cuesta mucho sonreír cuando por dentro estoy muy mal. A veces quiero lanzar fuera la cruz y estar tranquilo. Entonces es cuando me doy cuenta de mi debilidad. Es muy fácil decirte que «sí» en los momentos hermosos y luminosos. Pero apenas llega la dificultad, esa decisión se olvida. Por eso, Señor, te pido tu fuerza. Yo solo no puedo. Dame una fe grande que me ayude a vivir con esa fidelidad de María. Hasta que Tú quieras y como Tú lo quieras. Señor, pídeme lo que quieras pero dame la fuerza para vivir aquello que me pides, como decía san Agustín.
Que Dios te bendiga, Padre Charlie
