NOT ENOUGH
It is not enough for me to love God, if my neighbor does not love God. —St. Vincent de Paul
How does a parish pastoral council operate
A council meets once a month with the pastor to consider pastoral issues. It listens carefully to the concerns of the pastor, the parish staff and others involved in the life of the parish. Through prayer and discernment, it searches for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to make recommendations to the pastor through consensus. The Parish Pastoral Council normally meets each month for about 2 hours. Al-so, the council may have an annual retreat for prayer and reflection. Regular attendance at meetings is critical.

COMMUNAL RESPONSIBILITY
The people of God forgot the covenant and flouted God’s laws. They did not listen to the prophets among them, who spoke for God in warning them. Prophets are sent from God to remind us why we are here, but they are often, even in our own time, mocked, disregarded, and mistreated rather than thanked and listened to. The book of Chronicles tells the results of these sins: the destruction of the temple and all of Jerusalem, murder, mayhem, and finally exile to a foreign land. Why are these stories in the Bible? Just to inform us of what happened to our ancient forebears? What good would that be unless there were a message and a warning for us as well? Are we people who follow the teachings of God, who obey the words of Christ in the second covenant in his blood? Or do we continue to wreak works of darkness and violence? We are reminded by these readings that we will be judged as a people, not just as individuals. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma 11 de marzo de 2018
Dios no envió a su Hijo para condenar al mundo, sino para que el mundo se salvara por él.— Juan 3:17
RESPONSABILIDAD COMUNAL El pueblo de Dios olvidó la alianza y se burló de las leyes de Dios. No escucharon a los profetas que había entre ellos, los cuales les advertían en nombre de Dios. Los profetas son enviados por Dios para recordarnos por qué estamos aquí, pero muchas veces, incluso en nuestra época, nos burlamos de ellos, los despreciamos y los mal-tratamos, en vez de escucharlos y agradecerles. El libro de las Crónicas nos cuenta los resultados de estos pecados: la destrucción del Templo y de toda Jeru-salén, asesinatos, caos y por último el exilio a una tierra desconocida. ¿Por qué hallamos estos relatos en la Bi-blia? ¿Están ahí sólo para informarnos lo que les sucedió a nuestros antepasados? ¿Qué bien nos puede traer eso a menos que también haya un mensaje y una advertencia para nosotros? ¿Somos personas que respetan las ense-ñanzas de Dios, que obedecen las palabras de Cristo en la segunda alianza en su sangre? ¿O continuamos sembran-do obras de maldad y violencia? Estas lecturas nos re-cuerdan que seremos juzgados como pueblo, no sólo co-mo individuos.
NO ES SUFICIENTE No es suficiente que yo ame a Dios, si mi prójimo no ama a Dios. —San Vicente de Paúl
