ubilee Year of Mercy
February 28, 2016 • Third Sunday of Lent
Pope Francis wants “Twenty-four Hours for the Lord,”
around-the-clock availability of the sacrament of
reconciliation, implemented worldwide this
Friday and Saturday. Celebrated with his oftrecommended “tenderness,” the sacrament is
“a source of true interior peace,” says Francis,
enabling people “to touch the grandeur
of God’s mercy with their own hands”
(Misericordiae Vultus, 17). In Luke’s Gospel,
Jesus warns us against judging others. Focus
instead, Jesus says, on deepening—or restoring—
our own relationship with God, for during this
Lenten springtime that Master Gardener can use even life’s
manure (the parable’s “fertilizer”) to coax fresh fruit from a
tree that seems hopelessly barren—us! Parishes preparing
catechumens may choose John’s Gospel, which likewise
cautions against judging. Imagine what the Samaritan
woman’s lifelong neighbors thought of her multiple
relationships. But by discovering Jesus, then sharing her
good news—and Jesus—with those very neighbors, she
whom they had probably judged quite sinful became instead
their evangelist and “missionary of mercy.”

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
February 28, 2016
Third Sunday of Lent
In ancient times, people thought
death was the result of sinfulness.
The crowds asked Jesus if that was
true. He replied that it was no more
true than the contrary: People lived
because of righteousness. The point
Jesus did make, however, was that
repentance was necessary and
necessarily immediate. Jesus then gave
the people an illustration of a fig tree
that had not produced fruit for three
years. The vineyard owner wanted
the tree cut down, but the gardener
promised to aerate and fertilize it for
one more year. If, by then, it did not
bear fruit, the gardener would cut it
down. Some scholars think the three
years of no yield correlate with Jesus’
three years in ministry, but the main
point is that with nurturing, all may
come to bear fruit in the Kingdom.

cuando niño fue salvado de las aguas del Nilo, y
ahora estaba pastoreando las ovejas de su suegro en
el desierto. La zarza que ardía sin consumirse nos
muestra que Dios es un misterio inagotable.
El temor y respeto de Moisés están mezclados
con una confianza conmovedora, cuando trata de
averiguar el Nombre del Señor. Y Dios le responde
dulcemente con un Nombre –YO SOY– que distingue
al Dios de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob de los diosecitos
de las naciones, que “no-son”. Esos diosecitos de
nada son impotentes e inútiles. Moisés tiene que
avanzar hacia un futuro increíble, y Dios lo espera
allí con mano poderosa y brazo extendido. Es como
si el Señor le dijera, “Ve, y verás”.

RADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muchas naciones latinoamericanas son
beneficiadas por organizaciones caritativas extranjeras.
Pero estas organizaciones no siempre pueden suplir las
necesidades de los pueblos latinoamericanos, por eso
los obispos de Chile buscaron la manera de motivar a su
pueblo para que ayude a sus propios desafortunados.
En 1982 los obispos chilenos crearon una nueva practica
cuaresmal llamada la Campaña de Fraternidad. Esta
Campaña se motiva en las observancias penitenciales de
la oración, el ayuno y la caridad.
Esta práctica de la Iglesia chilena se basa en la
tradición cristiana de las obras de caridad y la acción
social. La Campaña de Fraternidad también se funda
en la espiritualidad cristiana de la hermandad. Los que
tienen la manera de ayudar han compartido a través de
los proyectos de esta obra con jóvenes en riesgo social,
madres solteras, ancianos, prisioneros y otros grupos
marginados. Esto se hace en un espíritu de mutualidad
entre los hijos e hijas del creador.
Esta campaña cuaresmal nos desafía a buscar la
manera de ayudar a los pobres no como personas
necesitada sino como hermanas y hermanos en Cristo a
los cual debemos nuestra cooperación para mejorar sus
vidas. Ellos en torno son la presencia de Cristo quien se
encuentra en los más pequeños de la sociedad.

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
28 de febrero de 2016
Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
El Papa Francisco quiere que 24 horas
para el Señor, una iniciativa para
ofrecer todo el día el Sacramento de la
Reconciliación, se lleve a cabo en todo el
mundo este viernes y sábado. Celebrado
con su frecuentemente recomendada
“ternura”, la Reconciliación es “un
recurso de verdadera paz interior” dice
el Papa Francisco, “porque nos permite
experimentar en carne propia la grandeza
de la misericordia” (Misericordiae Vultus,
17). En el Evangelio de Lucas, Jesús nos advierte de no
juzgar a nuestros prójimos. Al contrario, dice Jesús, en
profundizar o restaurar nuestra propia relación con Dios,
para que durante esta Cuaresma primaveral el jardinero
pueda usar el estiércol de la vida (la palabra que está en
la parábola es “fertilizar”) para inducir un fruto fresco de
un árbol que parece irremediablemente estéril —¡nosotros!
Las parroquias preparando a catecúmenos pueden elegir
el Evangelio de Juan, el cual de la misma manera advierte
de no juzgar. Imagine lo que los vecinos de toda la vida
de la mujer samaritana pensaron de sus varias relaciones.
Pero al descubrir a Jesús, también compartieron su
Buena Nueva —y también a Jesús— con esos mismos
vecinos; ella, quien muy probablemente fue juzgada muy
pecadora, en su lugar se convirtió en su evangelizadora y
“misionera de la misericordia”
