OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CHURCH
Celebration of the Second Scrutiny
Today at the 9:45AM Mass we join our Elect
and Candidates in hearing the story of Jesus
healing the man born blind. Together we welcome the light of Christ to shine on our spiritual blindness and pray for the courage to live as
children of light. Let us pray that God may dispel darkness and be the light that shines in our
hearts of our elect and candidates.
St. Patrick
Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day –
we all become Irish for one
day. St. Patrick used what was
ordinary – like a shamrock – to
teach our Faith. May we learn
from St. Patrick and live our
Faith this Lent.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA

MARZO 15, 2015
Una reflexión del P. Carlos
A las personas que queremos, las queremos con el corazón. No necesitamos razones para querer. Ni
la madre quiere al hijo por razones, ni los novios se quieren por razones, ni marido y mujer se quieren por razones. Y si se quisiera hacer una lista de razones lógicas de ese amor, al fin la última razón
verdadera de ese amor quedaría en el misterio. Y cuando para mantener un amor es necesario andar hurgando para buscar razones, ese amor está empezando a morir bajo las cenizas.
El amor es ilógico, supera todo raciocinio, abarca a toda la persona y embarca en la aventura de
amar a toda esa persona.
Hoy, de camino hacia la Semana Santa se hace un examen de nuestro amor a Dios. Enfrentándonos
con el amor ilógico del Señor a nosotros, ¿no necesitamos nosotros demasiadas razones para amar
al Señor? ¿Toma su amor todo nuestro ser? ¿Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda
tu alma, con toda tu mente y con todo tu ser?
“Tanto amó Dios al mundo que entregó a su Hijo único” Envía lo que mas quiere para que vaya a
nuestra búsqueda, para que traiga del país extranjero al hijo pródigo, para que salve entre espinos y
barrancos a la oveja perdida, aún a sabiendas de que ese Hijo único va a perder su vida en la búsqueda, pero que nos a va encontrar a cada de uno de nosotros.
¿Hay amor más ciego? ¿Más cerrado a razones lógicas? Como nos decía san Pablo el domingo pasado: esta es la grandiosa necedad o estupidez de nuestro Dios. Esa necedad que supera todo saber y
todo entender humanos. Que el Señor nos ha amado a nosotros más que más que a Si mismo.
“Nadie tiene mayor amor que el que da la vida por sus amigos.
Cuando éramos pecadores, es decir, cuando éramos enemigos de Dios, Dios nos da lo que constituye su propia vida, que es su mismo Hijo, a sabiendas de que lo va a perder. Si viéramos este proceder en una persona amiga nuestra, diríamos que es un loco, un estúpido… Y esa es la grandiosa e
ininteligible estupidez de nuestro Dios, que no cabe en cabeza humana. “Tanto amó Dios al mundo…”
Para el Señor no somos multitud. No somos rebaño. Él conoce a cada una de sus ovejas y las llama
por su nombre. No somos un número de Documento Nacional de Identidad. Somos TÚ y YO.
- La luz y la verdad. Frente a las "tinieblas", que se presentan aquí como una personificación del
mal, se alza la "luz" que es el mismo Hijo de Dios en persona. La venida de la "luz" al mundo denuncia la existencia de las "tinieblas" y, aunque el hijo de Dios no viene a juzgar a nadie, su presencia
establece inevitablemente un juicio. La "luz" -y, por lo tanto, la proclamación del evangelio- cuestiona a los hombres y les obliga a decidir entre la fe y la salvación, o la incredulidad y la perdición. Muchos se deciden por la incredulidad, porque sus obras no son buenas. Se habla aquí de "hacer la verdad". Para Juan la verdad, lo mismo que la mentira, no son dos teorías opuestas, sino dos modos
contradictorios de vivir. Los que obran perversamente se oponen a la verdad con la mentira de su
vida y esconden sus malas obras huyendo de la luz. En cambio, los que hacen la verdad buscan la
luz, para que se vean sus obras buenas. Hagamos que nuestra vida se llene de buenas obras. Bendi-

Guadalupe
Fiesta 2015
We really need
all of Our Lady
of Guadalupe
to participate
in this fund
raiser to make
it successful. You do not have to be a parent
of the school to volunteer to help. The dates
for the Fiesta are April 17th, 18th and 19th.
There are many ways to help. If you cannot
volunteer physically to work at the Fiesta, perhaps you can help support the Fiesta through a
Silent Auction donation. Some ideas are: Help
create a travel weekend with credit card or frequent flier miles toward a resort hotel or airline tickets, access to a family cabin, condo or
timeshare, sports car rental for the weekend,
limo ride and dinner at a five-star restaurant,
ski tickets, hotel stays. Or how about autographed sports stuff, wine or liquor baskets,
handmade items or services, gas cards, theme
park passes, spa gift certificates. The list is
God’s Word Today
Such rich fare is offered to us this day from the table
of God’s word. The first reading chronicles both the
punishment and the great mercy shown by God to
the people who “added infidelity to infidelity.” Saint
Paul calls this God one “who is rich in mercy.” The
greatest merciful act shown by our God is beautifully
proclaimed in today’s Gospel: “For God so loved the
world that he gave his only Son.” As the word of God
is proclaimed today, let us be thankful to God for the
gift of the Lord Jesus, who came into this world not
to condemn, but to save.
endless, and of course no donation is too small
and we would appreciate any donation you can
make. Please take a moment and see how you
can contribute. If you cannot help with the Silent Auction there is always FIESTA RAF-
FLE TICKETS, WHICH ARE NOW
AVAILABLE!!! For only $50 you have a
chance to win $5000. Special offer: Purchase
5 tickets and get 1 free or buy 10 tickets and get

please call the parish office. If you would like
to volunteer to help at the Fiesta, please call
the parish office and we will get you in touch
with the correct person or you can sign up
online. Just go to our webpage:
www.ourladyofguadalupechurch.org
click on event tab at the top of the page, then

The blind man was willing to let Jesus minister to
him and willingly did all Jesus asked of him. The
Pharisees were more resistant to His message,
spending their time and energy to disprove the miracle. Which am I more like, the man born blind or
the Pharisees?

Then he said to his disciples, “the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few: so ask the master of
the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
