Our Lady of Grace Parish - March 3, 2019
A Letter from our Pastor . . . Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of Grace, Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a forty-day peri-od of preparation for the celebration of Easter, the Paschal Mystery, which is the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We celebrate Easter by renewing our Baptismal Promises, first by renouncing sin, renouncing the seduc-tion of evil and rejecting Satan, the author and prince of sin. Then we are asked to renew our faith in God–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Namely, that we believe in God and renew our commitment to live as true sons and daughters of God in this world. Notice that the Baptismal Promises are twofold: rejecting sin and believing in God. We can consider the discipline and penance of Lent as our efforts to reject sin in our lives. Therefore Lent is called a “penitential season”, a time to do pen-ance. On Ash Wednesday we have ashes rubbed onto our foreheads in the sign of a Cross as a call to ourselves that we must repent and believe, and that we are mor-tal “dust” and will one day return to dust. Now is the time to return to the Lord. There are three traditional penitential practices associated with Lent: Prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Prayer is a call to talk with God. Fasting is a call to give up things which we do not really need and certainly to work on overcoming our bad habits. Almsgiving is a call to give generously to the poor and needy. Each of these aspects should form part of your Lenten season. Lent is not an end in itself. Lent is given to help us prepare for the joy and glory of Easter, so that our efforts to pray more, to give up things and to be more charita-ble are all done so that we can be worthy to rejoice in the ultimate gift of salvation that Jesus has won for us in His Passion, Death and Resurrection. In Christ, Fr. Velásquez
Queridos feligreses de Nuestra Señora de Gracia, El miércoles de ceniza es el comienzo de la temporada de Cuaresma. La Cuares-ma es un período de cuarenta días de preparación para la celebración de la Pascua, el Misterio Pascual, que es la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Nuestro Señor Jesu-cristo. Celebramos la Pascua renovando nuestras Promesas Bautismales, primero renunciando al pecado, renunciando a la seducción del mal y rechazando a Satanás, el autor y el príncipe del pecado. Entonces se nos pide que renovemos nuestra fe en Dios: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Es decir, que creamos en Dios y renovamos nuestro compromiso de vivir como verdaderos hijos e hijas de Dios en este mundo. Note que las Promesas Bautismales son dos: rechazar el pecado y creer en Dios. Podemos considerar la disciplina y la penitencia de la Cuaresma como nuestros esfuerzos por rechazar el pecado en nuestras vidas. Por lo tanto, la Cuaresma se llama "temporada penitencial", un tiempo para hacer penitencia. El Miércoles de Ceniza tenemos cenizas frotadas en nuestras frentes en el signo de una Cruz como un llamado a nosotros mismos de que debemos arrepentirnos y creer, y que somos un “polvo” mortal y que algún día volveremos al polvo. Ahora es el momento de volver al Señor. Hay tres prácticas penitenciales tradicionales asociadas con la Cuaresma: ora-ción, ayuno y limosna. La oración es un llamado a hablar con Dios. El ayuno es un llamado a renunciar a cosas que realmente no necesitamos y, ciertamente, a trabajar para superar nuestros malos hábitos. La limosna es una llamada a dar generosamen-te a los pobres y necesitados. Cada uno de estos aspectos debe formar parte de su temporada de Cuaresma. La Cuaresma no es un fin en sí misma. Se da la Cuaresma para ayudarnos a pre-pararnos para el gozo y la gloria de la Pascua, para que nuestros esfuerzos por rezar más, por renunciar a las cosas y por ser más caritativos, se hagan para que podamos ser dignos de regocijarnos en el don supremo de la salvación que Jesús ha ganado para nosotros en su pasión, muerte y resurrección. En Cristo, Padre Velásquez
