“You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well.” Matthew 5:38-39

“Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.” At first glance, we might think this instruction refers only to money or possessions. Jesus would surely want us to be generous with our finances, and in the spirit of today’s Gospel, to give without seeking to receive. However, the principle also applies to our time and our talents. Most likely, some of the people God has placed in our lives are “asking” for our time: children in need of care; elderly parents; neighbors or friends experiencing sickness, etcetera. Often, the needs of others do not coincide perfectly with our own plans. Rather, serving our families and com-munities frequently requires a change in our normal program of life. When such interruptions occur, do we share our time and attention freely, handing over our “cloak” as well without a grumble or a grudge? And what about the use of our God-given talents? We have all been blessed in different ways with gifts that can strengthen our communities. When our abilities could be useful to others, are we willing to share them without seeking recompense? Gifts of organization or artistry, culinary or mechanical skills, musical or ministerial talents...what we have received can be a blessing to those in our parish, our workplace, our neighborhood, and our family. Rather than being stingy with the treasures God has given us, may we be willing to follow the Lord’s command to go the extra mile.

“Give us the grace—When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.” ~Pope John Paul II, Homily, October 7, 1979

In an effort to reach out to our brothers and sisters who speak Spanish and are not able to attend Sunday Mass at their parish due to illness, age, or other issues, the Archdio-cese offers the transmission of the Sunday Mass in Spanish. This is an archdiocesan ministry offered in collaboration with the Office of Hispanic Ministry and the Office of Worship and Christian Initiation. The Spanish TV Mass airs every Sunday at 7:00 am on Univision Channel 41 on regular TV, and Channel 15 on Cable (check your individual TV signal provider for other channels). The Sunday Mass in Spanish can also be seen online any day and at any time by accessing www.noticiasnuevomexico.com and searching for La Misa Catolica.

Daily during Lent (Tuesday through Friday) after 9:00 a.m. Mass and Holy Communion in the church, all are invited to stay and pray the Rosary for our country; that God will forgives us our sins against life and all of our sins. On all Wednesdays, starting Ash Wednesday, “The Patriotic Rosary,” a beautiful petition, “We plead the blood of Jesus over the United States, each Hail Mary for a different state and for every soul in that state.

Please join us, Your Legion of Mary.

Living the Eucharist this Lent Groups are forming for Living the Eucharist on Tuesday, Wednes-day and Thursday. A teen group is forming for Thursday evenings as well from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Adult groups will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you have not yet registered, you can still do so by calling the CCD office at 865-4220 or the parish office at 865-7497.

“Cuando el character sagrado de la vida antes del nacimiento sea atacado, nosotros reaccionaremos para proclamar que nadie tiene jamas el derecho de destruir la vida antes del nacimiento”. Papa Juan Pablo II, Homilia, 7 de octubre de 1979 en Washington D. C.
