WE ARE NOT ALONE We begin Lent with stark contrasts between life and death, good and evil, water and desert. God's response is equally strong. God's covenant is with everyone and everything. Nothing is outside the reach of God's love. God's covenant is limitless. We set out on our own journey of preparation today but we are not alone. However we choose to use this time to prepare ourselves for the death and resurrection that is to come, we are accompanied by the same Spirit that compelled Noah to build the Ark to preserve life on earth. We are accompanied by the same Spirit that drove Jesus into the desert to face temp-tation. It is that Spirit that makes our journey through Lent possible. Who could face such floods of temptation alone? No one, not even Jesus, as we will hear during Holy Week, faces death alone.

NO ESTAMOS SOLOS - Empezamos la Cuaresma con fuertes contrastes entre la vida y la muerte, el bien y el mal, el agua y el desierto. La

respuesta de Dios es igualmente fuerte. La alianza de Dios es con cada uno y con todo. Nada está fuera del alcance del amor de Dios. La alianza de Dios no tiene límites. Hoy empezamos nuestro camino de preparación, pero no estamos solos. Sin embargo, elegimos usar este tiempo para prepáranos para la muerte y resur-rección que están por venir, estamos acompañados por el mismo Espíritu que lo forzó a Noé a construir el Arca para preservar la vida en la Tierra. Estamos acompañados por el mismo Espíritu que llevó a Jesús al desierto para enfrentar la tentación. Es ese Espíritu que hace posible nuestro camino por la Cuaresma. ¿Quién podría enfrentar solo ese diluvio de tentación? Nadie, ni siquiera Jesús, así como escucharemos durante la Semana Santa, enfrenta solo la muerte.

Last weekend, Archbishop Gomez invited all Catholics to make their annual commitment to the 2018 Together in Mission Appeal. This year, our parish has been asked to raise $33,408 at Divine Saviour and $10,012 at St. Ann. If you and your family have not had the opportunity to make your pledge, I ask that you complete a pledge card found in the pews, or make your pledge online by visiting archla.org/give. Your gifts to Together in Mission ensure that every Catholic living in the Archdiocese has a parish to cele-brate their faith and access to a Catholic school education. You are living your faith through your actions when you support Together in Mission.

Our Divine Saviour School Students participated in their Walk-a-thon Fundrasier.

El fin de semana pasado, el Arzobispo Gómez invitó a todos los católicos a hacer su compromiso anual con la Campaña Unidos en Misión del 2018. Este año, se le ha pedido a nuestra parroquia que recaude $33,408 en el Divino Salvador y $10,012 en Santa Ana. Si usted y su familia no han tenido la opor-tunidad de hacer su promesa, le pido que llene una tarjeta de compromiso que se encuentra en las bancas, o haga su promesa en línea visitando arch-la.org/give. Sus regalos a Unidos en Misión aseguran que cada católico viviendo en la Arquidiócesis tenga una parroquia para celebrar su fe y ac-ceso a una educación escolar católica. Estás viviendo tu fe a través de tus acciones cuando apoyas a Unidos en Misión. Gracias de antemano por su generosidad.

Our Parish Offices will be closed on Monday February 19th in observance of Presi-dent’s Day. We will be back to

normal hours on Tuesday
