Jubilee Year of Mercy
March 6, 2016
Fourth Sunday of Lent
On Laetare Sunday, we rejoice as Luke’s Jesus proclaims that God is boundlessly merciful. The parable’s prodigal son returns home, not authentically
repentant but desperate, having squandered on prostitutes (or so his older brother claims) the inheritance
wrongly demanded while his father still lived. This
selfish son is only spared ritual “shaming” when the
father “shames” himself, running to embrace him,
interrupting his prepared “act of contrition.” By doing so he challenges confessors, and all of us, to be
signs, says Pope Francis, “of the primacy of mercy
always, everywhere, and in every situation, no matter what.” Avoid the harshness of the elder son,
Francis warns, “who stands outside, incapable of rejoicing,” his judgment “severe, unjust, and meaningless in light of the father’s boundless mercy” (Misericordiae Vultus, 17). If John’s Gospel is
proclaimed, the “religiously observant” people there
likewise serve to warn against harshly judging others, for the physical blindness of the man they expel
from the synagogue is healed, while their own blindness of heart remains.

Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma
Este es el domingo Laetare, nos alegramos así como
Jesús que en el Evangelio de Lucas proclama que
Dios es infinitamente misericordioso. La parábola
del hijo prodigo que regresa a casa, no propiamente
arrepentido sino desesperado, después de haber gastado en prostitutas (como lo dice su hermano mayor)
su herencia que equivocadamente pidió a su padre
aún vivo. Este hijo egoísta solo piensa en un ritual
seguro de “vergüenza” cuando su padre se
“demerita” así mismo al correr a abrazarlo, interrumpiendo su “acto de contrición” ya preparado. Desafiando a confesores y a todos nosotros, para ser
signos de, dice el Papa Francisco, “ser siempre, en
todas partes, en cada situación y a pesar de todo, el
signo del primado de la misericordia”. Al evitar la
dureza del hijo mayor, el Papa Francisco nos advierte, “que se quedó afuera, incapaz de alegrarse,
para explicarle que su juicio severo es injusto y no
tiene ningún sentido delante de la misericordia del
Padre que no conoce confines” (Misericordiae Vultus, 17). En caso que se proclame el Evangelio de
Juan el pueblo “religiosamente obediente” en
ese texto sirve como ejemplo para advertir de juzgar
con dureza a los demás, el hombre ciego que recobró
la vista es expulsado de la sinagoga mientras que en
ellos su propia ceguera de corazón permanece.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Scrutinies
Every time we celebrate the sacrament of
baptism, we ask the questions, “Do you renounce
Satan? and all his works? and all his empty promises?” These are serious questions. We should consider them carefully before answering. And that is what
the elect, those preparing to be baptized at the Easter
Vigil, spend much of Lent doing.
For our elect- Ramon, Christopher, Erin and
Jewel, who are making final preparation for the sacraments of initiation- Baptism, Confirmation and
Eucharist, and our candidates- William, Maria and
Leticia, who are preparing for Confirmation and Eucharist, Lent is a time of purification and enlightenment. They examine their lives in the light of God’s
word and ask the entire Christian community to pray
that whatever is weak and sinful within them may be
eliminated and that whatever is good and holy may
be affirmed. And we do. After the homily, in a litany
of intercession, we proclaim the power of Jesus over
all sin. Then we pray over the elect and candidates
for their deliverance and strengthening. The presider,
catechists, godparents, sponsors and other members
of the community also may lay their hands on the
heads of the elect in an ancient sign of forgiveness,
healing and empowerment.
And because the entire community will renew its baptismal promises at Easter, we too examine our lives in light of God’s word. Of course, this
is something we should be doing throughout the
year, but we focus on this self-examination in a special way during Lent. In every community that will
baptize adults or older children at the Easter Vigil,
special rites known as the “scrutinies” are celebrated
at liturgy on the third, fourth and fifth Sundays of
Lent.
On these Sundays, the gospel readings are
from the Gospel of John; they are the stories of the
Samaritan woman whom Jesus meets at Jacob’s
well, the healing and coming to faith of the man born
blind and the raising of Lazarus from the dead.
These readings have been used for centuries to prepare the elect and the church for baptism. The readings focus on sin and redemption using the images of
thirst and water, darkness and light, death and life.
By examining ourselves through these readings, we
come to know how we have become parched, how
we have been blinded, how we have become deadened through sin. When we, the elect and candidates
are asked at Easter to renounce Satan, evil works and
empty promises, their answer can be a thoughtful,
strong and heartfelt “I do.”
