“Holy, holy, holy!” Ancient languages, like the Hebrew
used in the scriptures, did not always have a way to express
superlatives in one word. Isaiah could not say God was
“holiest,” so he used the threefold repetition of the same word.
This bit of scriptural minutiae about these “three little words”
that we sing at every Mass serves as a reminder that answering
God’s call has to be grounded in awareness of God’s holiness.
In Isaiah and in the Gospel passage today, we hear accounts
of the revelation of God’s power and might: the seraphim
in the temple and the miraculous catch of fish. These are
not wondrous revelations for their own sakes. They lead to a
response in mission, Isaiah’s “Here I am, send me!” and the
disciples’ leaving everything to follow Jesus. And so must our
own “Holy, Holy, Holy!” lead us to Christ in the Eucharist every
Sunday, and to a life following him day by day.

ASH WEDNESDAY FACTS
Question: Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent in the Roman Catholic Church, and
many Catholics attend Mass on Ash Wednesday to be marked with ashes as a sign of their own mortality. But is
Ash Wednesday a Holy Day of Obligation?
While all Roman Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass on Ash Wednesday in order to begin the Lenten
season with the proper attitude and reflection. The Bible does not refer to Ash Wednesday. In fact, the day isn’t
even a Holy Day of Obligation on the church’s calendar. However, the mention of ashes is found in the Bible.
“The penitential significance of ashes goes back to the earliest books of the Old Testament; in Jonah 3:6, the
King of Ninevah sits in ashes as a sign of repentance, and in Job 2:8, Job sits among them as a sign of his
sorrow,” Wachowicz said.
Jesus also connects ashes with repentance in the Bible verses Matthew 11:21 and Luke 10:13. Roman Catholics
are not the only people who observe Ash Wednesday. Certain Western Orthodox Churches and some Protestant
denominations, including Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans and other various churches celebrate
this day. The Ash Wednesday tradition started in Western Europe, which is why it is not generally observed in the
Eastern churches.
Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are encouraged to fast on Ash Wednesday. Fasting entails eating one
regular-sized meal and two small meals daily. All Catholics 14 years old and up should abstain from meat on
Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fridays during Lent. Last year, on Ash Wednesday, Pope Francis talked
about the true meaning of fasting. “Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as
a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who
bent down to his brother in need and took care of him,” he said.
Although some people fast and give up something during Lent, these actions are supposed to be done
introspectively. In the Bible, Jesus said, “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they
disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are
fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen” (Matthew 6:16-18).
Jubilee Year of Mercy
2016
MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR LENT IN THE YEAR OF MERCY
2. God’s covenant with humanity: a history of mercy
This love story culminates in the incarnation of God’s Son. In Christ, the Father pours forth his boundless
mercy even to making him “mercy incarnate” (Misericordiae Vultus, 8). As a man, Jesus of Nazareth is a
true son of Israel; he embodies that perfect hearing required of every Jew by the Shema, which today too
is the heart of God’s covenant with Israel: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might” (Dt 6:4-5). As
the Son of God, he is the Bridegroom who does everything to win over the love of his bride, to whom he is
bound by an unconditional love which becomes visible in the eternal wedding feast.
This is the very heart of the apostolic kerygma, in which divine mercy holds a central and fundamental
place. It is “the beauty of the saving love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ who died and rose
from the dead” (Evangelii Gaudium, 36), that first proclamation which “we must hear again and again
in different ways, the one which we must announce one way or another throughout the process of
catechesis, at every level and moment” (ibid., 164). Mercy “expresses God’s way of reaching out to the
sinner, offering him a new chance to look at himself, convert, and believe” (Misericordiae Vultus, 21),
thus restoring his relationship with him. In Jesus crucified, God shows his desire to draw near to sinners,
however far they may have strayed from him. In this way he hopes to soften the hardened heart of his
Bride.
3. The works of mercy
God’s mercy transforms human hearts; it enables us, through the experience of a faithful love, to become
merciful in turn. In an ever new miracle, divine mercy shines forth in our lives, inspiring each of us to
love our neighbour and to devote ourselves to what the Church’s tradition calls the spiritual and corporal
works of mercy. These works remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant
to help our neighbours in body and spirit: by feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing them. On such
things will we be judged. For this reason, I expressed my hope that “the Christian people may reflect on
the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; this will be a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown
dull in the face of poverty, and to enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a
special experience of God’s mercy” (ibid., 15). For in the poor, the flesh of Christ “becomes visible in the
flesh of the tortured, the crushed, the scourged, the malnourished, and the exiled. to be acknowledged,
touched, and cared for by us” (ibid.). It is the unprecedented and scandalous mystery of the extension in
time of the suffering of the Innocent Lamb, the burning bush of gratuitous love. Before this love, we can,
like Moses, take off our sandals (cf. Ex 3:5), especially when the poor are our brothers or sisters in Christ
who are suffering for their faith.

Bay epi w ap Resevwa
Legliz nou an se yon kote pou lapriyè, di mèsi, kriye ak fete. Yon kote pou nou tout reyini - ni lè sa pa bon ni lè sa
bon – pou nou gen kè sansib, pote kè kontan bay lòt yo, epi ede yo jwenn kalmi nan doulè ak soufrans yo. Yon kote
moun vini lè yo nan nesesite. Nou tout nou se enstriman kè sansib ak kè poze Bondye a, Legliz nou an, yon fanmiy
ki mete tèt ansanm pou ede sila yo ki nan bezwen.
Nou remèsye tout moun ki deja reponn ABCD a ane sa a san gade dèyè. Sipò ou bay la ranfòse ministè k ap sèvi
Acheveche nou an e ede Legliz la fòme nouvo disip. Tankou Labib la di li, Bay epi w ap resevwa. Pwochen w lan
bezwen w. Ou se repons a lapriyè yon moun, ansanm, n ap chanje lavi.
Si ou poko reponn ABCD a ane sa a, tanpri pran yon ti moman pou w reflechi sou tout kalite benediksyon Granmèt la ba ou ak sou fason Li rele w pou w bay repons ou nan gwo kanpay empòtan sa a ki fèt chak ane. Pou w bay
kontribisyon w, ou kapab pran yon anvlòp angajman nan biwo pawas la oubyen ou kab fè li nan entènèt nan www.
isupportabcd.org. An nou mete tèt nou ansanm atravè sipò n ap bay nan ABCD a ane sa a, yon fason pou nou kab
fè Yon Sèl nan Lafwa, Yon Sèl nan Lespwa, ak Yon Sèl nan Lacharite. Mèsi.

Dimanche 7 Février 2016 - Quatrième Dimanche du Temps Ordinaire - Année C
Laissant tout, ils le suivirent
Si Pierre avait su depuis le début le chemin de sa
vocation, est-ce qu’il aurait suivi Jésus ? C’est difficile à dire.
Mais il n’a pas demandé de garanties au Christ. Il n’a pas
demandé de preuves. Il est simplement descendu de sa
barque et il l’a suivi. La sainteté implique cette relation de
confiance avec Dieu. Plus nous cherchons à connaître le
Seigneur, et à accepter de le « laisser faire », plus il prend
de place dans nos vies. Plus il exige de nous, plus nous
pouvons nous donner et grandir dans son amour. “C’est
la gloire de mon Père que vous portiez beaucoup de fruit
et deveniez mes disciples.” (Jn15,8) La vertu surnaturelle
de Pierre le pousse à s’engager. Jésus, toujours le plus
généreux, récompense la générosité de Simon Pierre. A la
récompense immédiate de la pêche miraculeuse se joint
une promesse : il deviendra pêcheur d’hommes. Est-ce que
je permets à Dieu de me bénir et de “me recruter” par ma
reddition quotidienne à sa volonté ? Où est-ce que je mets
des limites à ce que Dieu veut accomplir en moi ?
Aide-moi à ne jamais calculer le coût pour moi-même,
mais ne penser qu’à t’aimer davantage.
« Laissant tout, ils le suivirent »
(Lc 5, 1-11)

Domingo 7 de 2016 - Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario - Año C
¡SANTO, SANTO, SANTO!
“¡Santo, Santo, Santo!”. Los idiomas antiguos, como el
hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no siempre tenían
la manera de expresar superlativos en una sola palabra. Isaías
no tenía una palabra similar a “santísimo”, así que usó la
triple repetición de la misma palabra. Este detalle de minucia
bíblica sobre estas “tres pequeñas palabras” que cantamos en
Misa cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder al
llamado de Dios tiene que basarse en estar consciente de la
santidad de Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy,
escuchamos relatos que revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios:
los serafines en el templo y la pesca milagrosa. Estas no son
revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a una respuesta
misionera, la de “Aquí estoy, ¡envíame!” de Isaías y la de los
discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a Jesús. De igual
manera nuestro “¡Santo, Santo, Santo!” nos lleva a Cristo en
la Eucaristía de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día
tras día. Copyright (c) J.S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Cuando era niño mi padre me llevaba al rancho
de mi abuelito en México. En una de esas visitas mi
abuelo y mis tíos estaban quemando la tierra en su
rancho. Mientras el fuego ardía, papa Manuel nos
explicaba que era necesario reducir todo en cenizas
para que la tierra recobrara sus fuerzas y quedará
más fértil. Sin saberlo, mi abuelo me dio la imagen
que hasta hoy sostiene mi concepto del Miércoles de
Cenizas y de la cuaresma.
El Miércoles de Cenizas es la fiesta cristiana que
por lo menos doce siglos ha señalado el comienzo
de la Cuaresma. No cabe duda que para los latinos
este día es de particular atracción. Es uno de los pocos días del año litúrgico en cual llegamos al templo
en masa por tal de recibir las cenizas en la frente.
Nosotros somos un pueblo enraizado en la tierra
y sabemos que la tierra necesita quemarse de vez en
cuando para seguir produciendo. Nosotros como
la tierra necesitamos dominarnos y cultivarnos para
producir frutos y flores para el Señor y los demás.
