From the Desk of Father Jonathan
As you read this, I am in the Holy Land, tracing with my own feet and heart, the roads, towns, synagogues, and hills where Jesus walked, preached, and prayed. Soon I will be back home with all of you and will share more fully our experience. In the meantime, I couldn’t let this bulletin be published without telling you that, as promised, I have taken with me all of your written prayer intentions and the ones too that I know you still have in your hearts. My plan is to place all these prayers at the very tomb from which Jesus rose from the dead— the Holy Sepulcher in the Old City of Jerusalem. Please pray for me and for the other pilgrims (including Fr Henry and Fr Pio) that we may take advantage of the spiritual graces here and become better disciples of Jesus. Although I did not plan this pilgrimage, I would love to plan one next year and invite all of you. We could go to Israel or maybe to Italy? Or someplace else? I’m open to suggestions. Above all, it would be a great time to be together.
God bless, Father Jonathan
+ REST IN PEACE +
Please pray for Yolanda Soraci, Montserrate Vega, Egidio Apuzzo, Rosa Campos and all the faithful departed

PEOPLE OF THE COVENANT If there is one word that stands out in today’s readings, it is “covenant.” God’s faithfulness and goodness serve as examples to us of how to live. Genesis tells the story of Noah and of God’s covenant not only with all people, but with all of nature. Never will the cleansing waters of the flood bring their destructive power to all the earth again. The sign, the reminder to both God and nature, is the rainbow in the heavens. The psalm reminds us of this compassion of God, and begs God to remember us, not because of our goodness, but because of God’s goodness and fidelity to the promise. God shows us how to be good, not by decree, but by example.

POPOLO DELL’ALLEANZA
Il Vangelo di Marco comincia con una semplice affermazione: “Inizio del Vangelo di Gesù Cristo, Figlio di Dio”. Giovanni Battista, che aveva annunciato la sua venuta come imminente, battezzò Gesù nel Giordano e in quell’occasione lo Spirito diede testimonianza di Gesù. Marco accenna soltanto al periodo nel deserto e alla tentazione. È il preludio all’inizio del ministero pubblico di nostro Signore. Il suo primo richiamo, che ci viene ripetuto questa domenica, è: “Convertitevi e credete al vangelo”. Egli comincia proprio da quello che era stato il punto centrale dell’insegnamento di Giovanni Battista. La Quaresima è soprattutto un periodo di riflessione sui misteri della nostra redenzione, al cui centro sono l’insegnamento e la persona di Gesù Cristo. Il Salvatore ha assunto forma umana, cioè quella che è la nostra condizione, e non è nemmeno stato risparmiato dall’esperienza della tentazione. Nella sua natura umana, Gesù ha vissuto in prima persona cosa significhi respingere Satana e porre al primo posto le cose divine. Il nostro Signore e il nostro Dio è in tutto nostra guida e modello. Cercare di conoscere Cristo significa anche prendere coscienza di quel nostro bisogno di cambiamento di vita che chiamiamo “pentimento”. In particolare è mediante la liturgia della Chiesa che ci avviciniamo a Cristo e facciamo esperienza della sua presenza in mezzo a noi. Nella liturgia, diventiamo “uno” con Cristo nel mistero
grazie al quale egli ha riscattato il mondo.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Holy Father usually marks the solemn opening of the Lenten fast with a procession and Mass on Ash Wednesday evening. He walks from the Benedictine monastery, San Anselmo, down the Aventine hill to the Dominican monastery of Santa Sabina. This very old tradition was revived by Pope John XXIII in the late 1950s. Have you ever wondered who gives the pope his ashes? It’s the cardinal who has been given the “title” of the church of Santa Sabina. The pope’s homily at this Mass states his theme for Lent. Santa Sabina dates from the fifth century, and is one of the most beautiful churches in Rome. One of the pan-els on its main doors features the Crucifixion, a scene not normally depicted in art until much later. In the year 1219 the pope gave the church to Saint Dominic for his new religious order, the “Order of Preachers,” common-ly called the Dominicans, and it remains their world headquarters to this day. That pope, Honorius III, was a member of the Savelli family, and this church was their personal family chapel. Sabina was a wealthy Roman lady who became a Christian and was martyred, and whose home became a place of prayer. Later, the church built on that spot was dedicated to her memory.

GOD’S POWER We are not in our power, but in the power of God.

TRAINING Those who wish to hold the fortress of contemplation must first of all train in the camp of action.

Salmo 24 — Prima Domenica di Quaresima
Tutti i sentieri del Signore sono amore e fedeltà.
Fammi conoscere, Signore, le tue vie,
nsegnami i tuoi sentieri.
Guidami nella tua fedeltà e istruiscimi, perché sei tu il Dio della mia salvezza.
PERSONAS DE LA ALIANZA La palabra que sobresale en las lecturas de hoy es la palabra “alianza”. La fidelidad y la bondad de Dios nos sirven como ejemplo de cómo debemos vivir. En Génesis aparece el relato de Noé y de la alianza de Dios no sólo con las personas sino con la naturaleza. Las aguas purificadoras del diluvio nunca más descargarán su poder destructivo en toda la tierra otra vez. La señal, el recordatorio para Dios y la naturaleza, es el arco iris en el cielo. El salmo nos recuerda esta compasión de Dios y le implora a Dios que se acuerde de nosotros, no por nuestra bondad, sino por la bondad de Dios y su fidelidad a la promesa. Dios nos muestra cómo ser buenos, no por decreto, sino dándonos el ejemplo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La Cuaresma tiene sus raíces en la preparación para el Bautismo de adultos y en el arrepentimiento de pecadores públicos. Ambas se concentran en la conver-sión y en especial en los tres pilares de la misma. La Cuaresma nos da la oportunidad de encontrarnos de manera fuerte y vital con estos tres pilares: ayunar, ayudar y orar. Éstas son las prácticas cuaresmales que la Iglesia ha ido proclamando y practicando desde tiempos antiguos. Son prácticas que los cristianos de-beríamos emplear todos los días de nuestra vida, pero con mayor fervor durante la Cuaresma para poder cele-brar dignamente las fiestas de la Pasión, Muerte y Re-surrección de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. La conversión es un proceso por el cual regresa-mos a participar de la vida divina que recibimos en el Bautismo. Dios Padre mandó a su Hijo para salvarnos. He allí el por qué, el ayuno, el altruismo y la oración es colaborar con Dios. Dios mismo colabora con nosotros derramando su Espíritu en nuestros corazones. Con el poder del Espíritu Santo podemos practicar el ayunar, ayudar y orar de manera vital.
