FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
The entire history of the
Jewish people is directed
toward one goal: that God
might be glorified through the
chosen people. Christians, too,
are called to “do everything for
the glory of God.” In today’s
scriptures Paul reminds us that
the best way for us to glorify God is to seek to benefit “the many,”
as Christ did when he shed his blood for all of humankind.
The reading from Leviticus explains one way the Jews sought to
benefit the many, by keeping lepers and leprosy away from the
chosen people. Jesus finds a better way. He cures the leper, who
immediately re enters the community to spread the good news
about Jesus to everyone who will listen. In this way both Jesus
and the leper fulfill their calling to glorify the God who fills us “with
the joy of salvation.”
PARA LA GLORIA DE DIOS
La historia completa del pueblo judío va dirigida hacia una meta:
que Dios sea glorificado por medio del pueblo escogido. Los
cristianos también están llamados a “hacer todo para la gloria de
Dios”. En las Escrituras de hoy Pablo nos recuerda que la mejor
manera que tenemos para glorificar a Dios es buscar el beneficio
de “todos” tal como Cristo hizo cuando derramó su sangre por
toda la humanidad. La lectura de Levítico explica una manera en
que los judíos buscaban el beneficio de muchos, manteniendo a
los leprosos y la lepra alejados del pueblo escogido. Jesús
encuentra una manera mejor: cura al leproso, que
inmediatamente retorna a la comunidad para difundir la Buena
Nueva de Jesús a todo el que le escuche. De este modo tanto
Jesús como el leproso cumplen con su llamado de glorificar al
Dios que nos llena “con la alegría de la salvación”.

LITURGY CORNER
LENT 2015
The Story of God’s Merciful Love
This Wednesday. February 18th we mark
the beginning of the Lenten season, signed
by ashes on our foreheads. During this
Lenten time we will continue sharing the
story of God’s great love for us, begun in
ADVENT as we used the “Jesse Tree”
symbols and told the story of God’s
LONGING LOVE through the biblical figures
of the Old and into the New Testaments. This
longing love became evident at CHRISTMAS
through the birth of Christ and his gift of
SELF-EMPTYING LOVE taking on human
form, becoming one of “us.” Continuing on
through the following weeks of ORDINARY
TIME we have encountered the story of
Christ as he called his disciples to ministry
and went about preaching and healing.
Jesus lived a SERVANT LOVE through his
ministry and calls us to do the same. Now,
during LENT – we will recall the story of
God’s MERCIFUL LOVE. This love asks of
us nothing less than what Jesus Christ gave
on the cross – a love of others, a love of self
that goes way beyond that of forgiving. This
kind of merciful love asks that we “take on”
the suffering of others, that we put on our
shoulders their crosses, their burdens. We
are called to give mercy – to “be” mercy.
No, we cannot physically take on the
suffering and crosses of others but we can
emotionally, mentally and spiritually become
one with them and share their burdens. If
we do this, we can be so intimately united
with one other. There will be little to no room
left for petty arguments, misunderstandings,
un-forgiveness, lack of charity, gossip, lying,
taking offense at what is said and done or
NOT said and done by others, etc. Our gaze
will turn from looking at our own selves to
seeing others, their needs and concerns and
being about truly loving and helping.
This is our LENTEN CHALLENGE: to learn
true MERCY… to be MERCY… to give
MERCY…to accept MERCY from another.
HAPPY LENTEN JOURNEY!
A Lenten thought from the
Knights of Columbus
“Love for Lent”
We can turn our personal sacrifices
during the Lenten season into
a gift for others.
Often we think of the Christmas season as a time
for giving and Lent as a time for giving up. The
practice of giving and giving up can become our
way of shedding light on one another when done in
the spirit of personal charity.
A gift from the heart is to give up something of
one’s self while giving up something for Lent can
become a form of a self-gift--to God and your
neighbor.
If you give up that candy bar, a donut with your
coffee, or that fast food snack, consider dropping
the money saved into the poor box on the wall in
CTK’s Gathering Area near the Welcome Center.
All contributions support the Manna Cupboard
Ministry to help feed the needy. Your acts of
kindness can be summed up in six words--”Give
and receive Love for Lent.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS
REFLEXIONEMOS SOBRE LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Lent, the Church’s annual pre baptismal retreat, prepares
us to gather around the Easter font, renew our baptismal
vows, and receive new life from the water as the elect are
plunged into Christ’s death and resurrection. This core
meaning is more or less available, depending on whether we
journey with catechumens in the parish and on the vigor of
our liturgical celebration of the Triduum. Some persist in
seeing Lent as a lonely journey in the wilderness; yet this
week we enter the Lenten fast in solidarity with one another.
The smudged foreheads you will spy throughout Ash
Wednesday on buses, street corners, and supermarket aisles
remind you that you are hardly alone in your desire to enact a
spring cleaning regime for your spiritual life.
Long ago, this kind of repentance was available to
Christians only once. Ashes and sackcloth were not raiment
for a day, but permanent habits for public sinners. Fasting
became a way of life, and if they sinned severely again, there
was no hope of restored communion. Happily, this system did
not endure. It produced reluctant Christians who even held
back from baptism, like St. Augustine did, out of fear. Today
we have recovered an ancient tradition that conversion and
repentance are constant themes on life’s journey, and that
Lent is an annual opportunity to revive our baptismal identity,
both as individuals and communities.
En esos primeros días de su ministerio Jesús predicó,
enseñó y curó a fin de que la gente llegue a saber que Dios
estaba cerca. Su mensaje y sus acciones devolvían
completamente a las personas a vivir dentro de la comunidad.
Al expulsar los demonios y curar a los enfermos él restauró la
humanidad de aquellos poseídos y enfermos. Hoy encontramos
a Jesús confrontando una enfermedad que debió haber sido
aún más atroz, la lepra.
Ser leproso significaba separación total de los demás. Te
desterraban de la comunidad y tenías que vivir aislado, y
condenado a vivir en lugares desiertos, sin ser ya parte de la
familia humana, sin participar en ningún evento social y
además ni siquiera apto para adorar a Dios. Si tenías la lepra
se asumía que habías pecado de alguna manera. Tu vida se
resumía en las palabras que la ley de Moisés decía que tenías
que gritar cada vez que alguien se acercaba: “¡Impuro, impuro!”
Si Jesús tocaba a un leproso significaba que, según los
demás, él también se convertía en impuro y no apto para
relacionarse con otras personas ni poder dar culto a Dios junto
a otros. Aun así, cuando un leproso pidió que lo curara, la
respuesta de Jesús fue inequívoca: “Quiero, queda
limpio” (Marcos 1:41). Resulta fácil escuchar en su respuesta la
autoridad del Hijo de Dios, preparado a dar gloria a su Padre.
No obstante Jesús, muy respetuoso en cuanto a la ley, envió al
hombre al sacerdote, tal como se prescribía en el libro del
Levítico. Para Jesús, aunque la compasión tenía primacía
sobre la ley, no la abolía. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.Derechos de
