There is a captivating encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in today’s gospel passage. Breaking typical Jewish custom, Jesus approaches the woman and asks her to give him to drink. Through their conversation Jesus reveals to her that he offers living waters that truly satiate our lives. This time of lent reminds us that Jesus is the one who truly fulfills the heart’s desire. We spend many days seeking things that we think will fulfill us. The woman had many previous relationships and Jesus reminds of her this but then invites her to be satiated by the living waters that he offers. This encounter led her to a conversion of mind and heart. It was so impactful that she couldn't hold in what she had experienced. Others came to believe in the message of Jesus because of her witness. She led them to Jesus. During this Lenten season Jesus gives us the same invitation he gave the Samaritan woman. The living water that comes from Jesus is his message of salvation. It is a message of hope and of recognition that the things of this life are passing and that things that are eternal are what truly satisfy us. This is why we fast and sacrifice during lent. It is a spiritual journey of conversion and recognition where we call to mind the things that we give our time and importance too, and see if it is truly good. Through sacrifice we are purged of the desires and pleasures that the world offer and we focus on the things eternal, on God himself. The hunger we feel when we fast leads us to reflect upon our hunger for the presence of God in our lives and to reject the earthly desire we constantly give in to. I pray that this Lenten season may continue to a beautiful spiritual journey you and I. That we may encounter Jesus on the way and be satiated by the living waters that he offers us. I would also like to remind you to be prudent and careful during this time as we deal with the coronavirus. Please continue take precautionary measure everyday by cleaning your hands constantly and watching out for the things you come in contact with. Thank you for your cooperation as we deal with this as a community. In Christ, Fr. José Díaz

GUIDELINES TO STOP THE SPREAD OF

THE CORONAVIRUS

In light of the increasing threat of the spread of the

coronavirus, Bishop DiMarzio would like to reaffirm the

cautious and preventative measures that should be

taken at liturgies in the Diocese of Brooklyn. It is very

strongly suggested that Holy Communion be received

in the hand as long as the threat continues. Pastors

should take the opportunity to instruct the faithful on

the correct and reverent way to receive the Eucharist

in the hand. The distribution of the Precious Blood to

the faithful has been suspended during this time.

Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion and

indeed all involved in the liturgy should disinfect their

hands before the distribution of Holy Communion. The

rubrics state that the priest or deacon should ask the

faithful to exchange the sign of peace “if appropriate.”

Prudence suggests that this time is not, in fact, an

appropriate time to do so. Therefore, for the time

being, after the general greeting: “The peace of the

Lord be with you,” the liturgy should continue with the

“Agnus Dei.” Holy water fonts should be emptied and

cleaned on a regular basis. No one should feel

obligated to use holy water upon entering or leaving

church nor should anyone feel obligated to greet the

celebrant (or one another) before or after Mass with a

handshake.

Station of the Cross On Monday, March 2 we will start the Station of the Cross in English (All Lent Mondays) at 7 pm at the church. All are welcome to come and join us.

THIRST Each time today’s Gospel story is read, I can’t help but think of the many television commercials I’ve seen depicting perspiring athletes lifting a beverage to their lips while the scorching sun beats down on them. Our culture has definite ideas about how to quench thirst. Today, those ideas are turned upside down. The Samaritan woman operates, initially, on the TV commercial level. She asks Jesus for the flowing water so that she will not have to keep coming to the well. Jesus then talks about what real thirst is, and how he, and he alone, can quench that thirst. Lent calls us to find those places deep within ourselves where we thirst. In our thirst, as did the Israelites, we cry out to God asking for springs of living water. Deep down we know that only the Lord can satisfy these thirsts.

NORMAS PARA DETENER LA DIFUSION DEL CORONAVIRUS

En vista de la amenaza latente de la difusión del

coronavirus, el obispo DiMarzio desearía reafirmar las

medidas preventivas que se deberían tomar en las liturgias

de la Diócesis de Brooklyn. Se hace hincapié que la

Sagrada Comunión debe recibirse en la mano mientras la

amenaza continúa. Los sacerdotes deben aprovechar la

oportunidad para instruir a los fieles en la forma correcta y

reverente de recibir la Eucaristía en la mano. La

distribución de la Sagrada Sangre a los fieles ha sido

suspendida durante este tiempo. Los ministros

extraordinarios de la Sagrada Eucaristía y en realidad

todos los que participan en esta liturgia deben

desinfectarse las manos antes de la distribución de la

Sagrada Comunión. Las rúbricas señalan que el sacerdote

o diácono deben pedirles a los fieles que intercambien la

señal de la paz “si es apropiado.” La prudencia sugiere

que, de hecho, este tiempo no es apropiado para hacerlo.

Así pues, mientras tanto, luego del saludo general: “La

paz del Señor sea con ustedes,” la liturgia debe

continuar con el “Agnus Dei” (Cordero de Dios). Las

fuentes del agua bendita deben de ser vaciadas y

limpiadas de forma regular. Nadie debe sentirse

obligado a utilizar el agua bendita al entrar o salir de la

iglesia ni nadie debe sentirse obligado a saludar al

celebrante ( o a otro feligrés) antes o después de la

misa con un apretón de mano.

Hay un encuentro cautivador entre Jesús y la mujer samaritana en el pasaje del evangelio de hoy. Rompiendo la costumbre típica judía, Jesús se acerca a la mujer y le pide que le dé de beber. A través de su conversación, Jesús le revela que él ofrece agua viva que realmente sacia nuestras vidas. Este tiempo de cuaresma nos recuerda que Jesús es quien verdaderamente cumple el deseo del corazón. Pasamos muchos días buscando cosas que creemos que nos satisfagan. La mujer tuvo muchas relaciones anteriores y Jesús le recuerda esto, pero luego la invita a que se sacie con las aguas vivas que él le ofrece. Este encuentro la llevó a una conversión de mente y corazón. Fue tan impactante que no pudo contener lo que había experimentado. Otros llegaron a creer en el mensaje de Jesús debido a su testimonio. Ella los condujo a Jesús.

Durante este tiempo de cuaresma, Jesús nos da la misma invitación que le hizo a la mujer samaritana. El agua viva que viene de Jesús es su mensaje de salvación. Es un mensaje de esperanza y de reconocimiento de que las cosas de esta vida están pasando y que las cosas que son eternas son las que realmente nos satisfacen. Es por eso que ayunamos y nos sacrificamos durante la Cuaresma. Es un viaje espiritual de conversión y reconocimiento donde recordamos las cosas que también le damos a nuestro tiempo e importancia, y vemos si es realmente bueno. A través del sacrificio somos purificados de los deseos y placeres que ofrece el mundo y nos enfocamos en las cosas eternas, en Dios mismo. El hambre que sentimos cuando ayunamos nos lleva a reflexionar sobre nuestra hambre de la presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas y a rechazar el deseo terrenal al que nos rendimos constantemente. Rezo para que esta temporada de cuaresma continúe en un hermoso viaje espiritual para usted y para mí. Que podamos encontrarnos con Jesús en el camino y ser saciados por las aguas vivas que nos ofrece.

También me gustaría recordarle que sea prudente y cuidadoso durante este tiempo mientras tratamos con el coronavirus. Continúe tomando medidas de precaución todos los días, limpiándose las manos constantemente y vigilando las cosas con las que entra en contacto. Gracias por su cooperación mientras tratamos esto como comunidad.

En Cristo, El p. José Díaz
