The Annunciation of the Lord
Abstinence
Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord—Tuesday, March 25
The feast of the Annunciation of the Lord celebrates the angel Gabriel’s appearance to the Virgin
Mary, his announcement that the Blessed Virgin had been chosen to be the Mother of Our Lord, and
Mary’s fiat—her willing acceptance of God’s holy plan.
Originally a feast of our Lord, but now celebrated as a Marian feast, the feast of the Annunciation
dates back at least to the fifth century, and the date of the feast,
which is determined by the date of Christmas, was set at March
25 by the seventh century. The Annunciation, as much as or
even more than Christmas, represents Christ’s Incarnation. When
Mary signaled to Gabriel her acceptance of God’s Will, Christ was
conceived in her womb through the power of the Holy Sprit.
While most of the Fathers of the Church say that Mary’s fiat was
essential to God’s plan of salvation, God foresaw Mary’s acceptance of His Will from all eternity.

2014 PSA Questions and Answers
Q. What happened to the gift I made to the capital campaign for the 2013 PSA?
A. The first funds raised for the capital campaign were used to fulfill the 2013 PSA and $6.1 million has been granted out to fund the annual, ongoing support of the diocesan ministries supported
through the PSA.
Q. I thought my gift to the diocesan capital campaign included our PSA gift to cover future
years during the capital campaign gift redemption.
A. The capital campaign included the 2013 PSA only. The campaign materials communicated that
“In 2013, our capital campaign will include our annual appeal to support Diocesan pastoral ministries and services. The PSA will return in 2014.”

questions about the definition and origins of mysticism and will introduce us to many great mystics including the Desert Fathers and Mothers, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Siena, Anthony of Padua, Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Francis of Assisi, Ignatius Loyola and many other lesser known

Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
23 de marzo de 2014
Cristo murió por nosotros,
cuando aún éramos pecadores.
— Romanos 5:8
SED DE UNIDAD
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús siente sed y va al pozo a buscar agua. Se encuentra con una samaritana que anticipaba ser tratada con desprecio mal por él. ¡Pero que sorpresa! Él le habla con respeto e interés como si fuera un ser humano. ¿Y qué sucede? Pues que muy pronto todo el pueblo salió
a escucharle.
Muchos siglos antes, los israelitas, ambulando en el desierto, sintieron sed. No tenían agua. Sólo
tenían una mala disposición. Se quejaron a Moisés: “¿Por qué nos has hecho salir de Egipto?” ¡Pero
que sorpresa! Dios les dio agua de la roca; sin hacer preguntas.
Todos los pueblos de la tierra viajamos juntos en este planeta; todos tenemos sed, todos con
nuestros propios temores de los demás. Pero Dios —amoroso padre— nos trata con cuidado generoso y compasión. Somos una familia. Podríamos darnos una sorpresa mutua. Podríamos recordar que
somos uno.

TRACICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Para ser cristiano en la Iglesia católica necesitas recibir los tres sacramentos de Iniciación, es decir,
el Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía. Si te falta uno de estos sacramentos no estás
completamente iniciado. Algunos cristianos insisten que si no estás confirmado no te puedes casar
por la Iglesia, pero esto no es completamente cierto. Según las leyes de la Iglesia, los cristianos que
desean contraer Matrimonio deberían buscar ser confirmados, si les es posible sin grave dificultad
(Canon 1065).
Todos conocemos el Bautismo y la Eucaristía, pero ¿qué es la Confirmación? El nombre lo dice
todo. Con la Confirmación, confirmamos ante Dios y la Iglesia que deseamos ser cristianos por el
resto de nuestra vida. Confirmarse es comprometerse, es entregarse al servicio de Dios ayudando al
prójimo con la gracia y el poder del Espíritu Santo. Por eso es importante recibir una buena
preparación.
La mayoría de nosotros no tuvimos opción cuando nuestra mamá y nuestro papá nos bautizaron.
Nuestros padres y padrinos dijeron sí por nosotros y, si cumplieron con su compromiso, nos
enseñaron con palabras y buen ejemplo como decir sí al Evangelio de Cristo. Sea que nos hayamos
bautizado como infantes o como adultos, la Confirmación nos da la oportunidad de dar un sí pleno.
¡Sí! a ese bautizo, ¡Sí! a la Iglesia y en especial ¡Sí! a Cristo.
