David J. Gaffny Por Pbro. David J. Gaffny Not so many years ago at this time of year, and still today in some places by some people, Christian children used to make sport of their Jewish schoolmates or neighbors calling them “Christ killers”. It has always been easy to blame the death of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on someone else or on some other group. To do so makes us feel that we ourselves are not to blame. Nevertheless, when a person points a finger at another person, three fingers point back to accuse the pointer. No hace muchos años en este tiempo del año, y aún hoy en algunos lugares por alguna gente, los niños cristianos hacían el deporte de sus compañeros de clase o vecinos judíos que los llamaban los “asesinos de Cristo”. Ha sido siempre fácil culpar la muerte de Nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo en otra persona u otro grupo. Hacerlo nos hace sentir que nosotros mismos no tenemos culpa. Sin embargo, cuando una persona apunta un dedo a otra persona, tres dedos puntean al indicador. Perhaps we finger pointers want to use the fool’s consolation that others are worse off than ourselves. The sad truth is that our sinfulness is much worse than any of the Jews of Jesus’ time or, even more so, those of today. We who call ourselves Christians claim that we are followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, while they are not. Yet, all too often we only follow him when it is convenient to do so or we pick and choose those teachings of Holy Mother Church which give us warm and fuzzy feelings but require no sacrifice. (The term “cafeteria Catholic” is appropriate here.) As a result, we crucify the Son of God anew in our hearts and hold him up to scorn by our example. Our guilt is worse because we know or should know what we are doing and we know its effect on the body of Christ. As for the Jews, Jesus himself said, “Father, forgive them; they do not know not what they are doing” (Lk 23:34). Or, as Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “None of the rulers of this age understood this [that is, God’s plan]; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” (I Cor 2:8). Quizás cuando apuntamos el dedo deseamos utilizar el consuelo de los tontos porque los otros son peores que nosotros mismos. La triste verdad es que nuestra culpa es mucho peor que cualquier de los judíos del tiempo de Jesús o, aun más peor, los de hoy. Nosotros que nos llamamos cristianos pretendemos que somos seguidores de Cristo, Nuestro Señor y Salvador, mientras muchas veces no lo somos. Todavía, muy a menudo lo seguimos solamente cuando es conveniente hacerlo o seleccionamos esas enseñanzas de la Santa Madre Iglesia que nos den sensaciones de complacencia pero que no nos requieren ningún sacrificio. (El término “católico de la cafetería” es apropiado aquí.) El resultado es que crucificamos al Hijo de Dios de nuevo en nuestros corazones y hasta lo ponemos en ridículo por nuestro mal ejemplo. Nuestra culpabilidad es peor porque sabemos o debemos saber lo que estamos haciendo y sabemos su efecto en el cuerpo de Cristo. En cuanto a los judíos, Jesús mismo dijo, “Padre, perdónalos, no saben lo que están haciendo” (Lc 23:34). O, como Pablo escribió a los corintios, “Esto [el plan de Dios] es algo que no han entendido los gobernantes de este mundo, pues si lo hubieron entendido no habrían crucificado al Señor de la gloria” (1 Cor 2:8). God gives each one of us opportunity after opportunity to turn back to him, to abandon our reckless ways, to truly trust in his love and mercy, in a word, to take up our cross daily and follow him. His love is never lacking; it is unconditional. He waits for us as the father waited for his dissolute son to return to his home; where the father ordered that the son be clothed in the finest robes, that a ring be put on his finger, sandals on his feet, the fatted calf be butchered, and a celebration begin with music and dancing (Lk 15:22-24). Are we ever to think that the son left his father again? Dios da a cada uno de nosotros oportunidad tras oportunidad de regresar a él, de abandonar nuestras maneras imprudentes, de confiar de veras en su amor y misericordia, en una palabra, de llevar nuestra cruz de cada día y seguirle. Su amor nunca falta; es incondicional. Él nos espera como el padre esperó a su hijo disoluto para volver a su casa; donde el padre mandó a los sirvientes que traigan el mejor ropa para vestirlo, que le pongan un anillo en el dedo y sandalias en los pies, que le maten el ternero más gordo para celebrar un banquete con música y baile (Lc 15:22-24). ¿Piensan ustedes que el hijo iba a dejar a su padre otra vez? God has committed himself to us; he has loved us. Out of gratitude we show our thanks for his unmerited gifts to us by committing ourselves to him. We show this by accepting the totality of his love and teachings which bring us to the total practice of our faith. In this we are united to Christ’s sacrifice as we participate at the Eucharist and we are united to one another in loving service for the glory of God and the salvation of Jew and gentile alike. Dios se nos ha encomendado a nosotros; él nos ha amado. De gratitud, demostrémosle las gracias por los regalos que nos ha dado sin merito de nuestra parte por encomendárnosle a él. Demostramos esto por aceptar la totalidad de su amor y enseñanzas cuáles nos lleven a la práctica total de nuestra fe. Con esto nos unimos al sacrificio de Cristo por participar en el Eucaristía y nos unimos los a unos a los otros en el servicio cariñoso para la gloria de Dios y la salvación tanto del judío como del gentil.

We are not actually told whether he met with them or not. Instead, we see him fully absorbed in the brief time that remains for him on earth. It is quite clear that the full significance of his decision to pursue his Father's will sits squarely before him, and he is struggling with that reality. "What should I say," he asks, "Father save me from this hour? But it was for this that I came." The disciples must surely have been puzzled by the expression of these thoughts, since they did not understand what was about to happen. "When I am lifted up, I will draw everyone to myself." Jesus understands that it is only by his death and resurrection that the work of salvation will be accomplished. All of this he did out of love, love for his Father, and love for us. Lent is a time of penance, a time in which we are meant to practice self-denial and to shore up the weak spots in our personal spiritual edifices. What is the primary tool to which we must all have recourse if we are to accomplish this goal? How can we find the strength to restore our faith to its proper place, to come to grips with our failure to serve the poor, or to be chaste, or to refrain from vanity or over-indulgence? There is one thing and one thing alone that will suffice: the love of Christ. Certainly the most difficult task we have during Lent is to believe in our hearts that Christ loves us. We are so absorbed in addressing our sinfulness that we can easily lose sight of the fact that Christ does forgive the penitent and that we must accept his forgiveness. That acceptance means that we must also forgive ourselves, no matter how impossible that may seem. If we fail to do so, then we essentially say that our sin is greater than God's love, we put ourselves and our sins beyond God, and that is a situation that cannot be true. "I will place my law within them and write it in their hearts." says the Lord in the first reading. Yes, we should always be aware of the existence of God's law in our hearts, and as we go through Lent we should also be aware that God draws us to himself out of love. Failure to accept that love would be a terrible thing indeed. Deacon Tim Unhappy is death without the love of the Savior; unhappy is love without the death of the Savior. —St. Francis de Sales “Agnusday appears with the permission of www.agnusday.org" Office Phone (931) 645-6275 www.immaconception.org Email : [email protected] Fifth Sunday of Lent Prayer Request Line 645-6275 ext. 111 The Celebration of the Eucharist March 28—29 Mass Intentions Sunday, March 22 8:00 am ...

We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts and our lives to care for our neighbors and the world, just as God cares for us. “I will be their God and they shall be my people.” – Jeremiah 31:33 Stewardship Commitment forms are available at the church office or on our church website at www.immaconception.org for your convenience.
