PASTOR’S LETTER Good People of Holy Cross, What to do when we really mess up? Is there any relief for failure? There is. Jonah teaches us that no one, absolutely no one, is beyond the reach of God’s forgiveness. Jonah’s story, the reluctant preacher who was washed overboard during a storm at sea and placed in “time out” in the belly of a whale. During these days inside the fish Jonah gets a fresh perspective on life, and on God’s presence. God is trying to help Jonah get past his bigotry and learn that just because the Assyrians are Jonah’s enemy, they are not God’s enemy. A very difficult lesson to learn, is it not? Who are your Assyrians? Who are the people, outside your comfort zone? Do you know that our God favors them just the same as you? It took enormous grace for God to forgive the Assyrians for the evil they committed against God’s people Israel, and against all the other countries they conquered during the rise of that evil empire. God never ceases to hold out the hope for every person’s salvation. It takes great patience to keep on loving Jonah, the whale couldn’t stomach him, and only God could put up with him! But for all his failures, God does not give up on Jonah. Did you notice after Jonah tried running away from God, after the storm, after the fish, while Jonah was sitting in his pile of seaweed on the beach, “the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.” Isn’t that a wonderful phrase, “a second time”? Aren’t you glad God does not give up on us after we fail? The very quality about God was the source of Jonah’s resentment, because he knew God might forgive the Assyrians if they repented, but it did not occur to Jonah that this same mercy of God was all that kept this flop of a prophet from feeling the wrath of God too. Thank God for second chances! (thirds, fourths, and fifths…. too!) Fr. Jude Michael Gente Buena de Holy Cross, ¿Qué hacer cuando realmente nos equivocamos? ¿Existe algún alivio para el fracaso? Ahí está. Jonás nos enseña que nadie, absolutamente nadie, está fuera del alcance del perdón de Dios. La historia de Jonás, el predicador mal dispuesto que fue arrastrado por la borda durante una tormenta en el mar y puesto en "tiempo muerto" en el vientre de una ballena. Durante estos días en el interior del pez, Jonás obtiene una nueva perspectiva de la vida y de la presencia de Dios. Dios está tratando de ayudar a Jonás a superar su intolerancia y aprender que solo porque los asirios son enemigos de Jonás, no son enemigos de Dios. Una lección muy difícil de aprender, ¿no es así? ¿Quiénes son tus asirios? ¿Quiénes son las personas que están fuera de tu zona de confort? ¿Sabes que nuestro Dios los favorece igual que a ti? Dios necesitó una enorme gracia para perdonar a los asirios por el mal que cometieron contra el pueblo de Dios, Israel, y contra todos los demás países que conquistaron durante el surgimiento de ese imperio maligno. Dios nunca deja de ofrecer la esperanza de la salvación de cada persona. Se necesita mucha paciencia para seguir amando a Jonás, ¡la ballena no podía soportarlo y solo Dios podía soportarlo! Pero a pesar de todos sus fracasos, Dios no se rinde con Jonás. ¿Se dio cuenta después de que Jonás trató de huir de Dios, después de la tormenta, después del pez, mientras Jonás estaba sentado en su pila de algas en la playa, "la palabra del Señor vino a Jonás por segunda vez"? ¿No es esa una frase maravillosa, "una segunda vez"? ¿No te alegra que Dios no se rinda con nosotros después de que fallamos? La misma cualidad de Dios era la fuente del resentimiento de Jonás, porque sabía que Dios podría perdonar a los asirios si se arrepentían, pero a Jonás no se le ocurrió que esta misma misericordia de Dios era todo lo que impedía que este fracaso de un profeta sintiera la ira de Dios. Dios también. ¡Gracias a Dios por las segundas oportunidades! (terceras, cuartas y quintas ... ¡también!) Padre Jude Michael

PRAYERS
Loving God, Holy One, Your desire is for our wholeness and well-being. We hold in tenderness and prayer the collective suffering of our world at this time. We grieve precious lives lost and vulnerable lives threatened. We ache for ourselves and our neighbors, standing before an uncertain future. We pray: may love, not fear, go viral. Inspire our leaders to discern and choose wisely, aligned with the common good. Help us to practice social distancing and reveal to us new and creative ways to come together in spirit and in solidarity. Call us to profound trust in your faithful presence, You, the God who does not abandon, You, the Hold One, breathing within us, breathing among us, breathing around us in our beautiful yet wounded world. -Chris Koellhoffer, IHM
