Because of the coronavirus, Archbishop Aymond has granted a dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass and has canceled all public Masses, Stations of the Cross, and other gatherings for
prayer for the time being. “He has also canceled the Archdiocese-wide Wednesday evening Lenten confessions.” Confessions are still being offered follows:
Confessions: * Monday - Friday, 8:30 - 8:55 am in the Bethlehem Chapel * Saturday, 3:00 - 3:30 pm in Church * Sunday, 11:15 - 11:45 am in Church
Although the Blessed Sacrament will not be exposed and Mass will not be offered, the Bethlehem Chapel or the Church will be open for private prayers as follows:
* Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 12:00 pm in the Bethlehem Chapel * Saturday, 3:00 - 5:00 pm in Church * Sunday, 8:00 - 11:45 am in Church

LIGHT “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you
light” (Ephesians 5:14). We are at the midpoint of our Lenten journey of conversion. As always, God never gives up on us, especially those who have “fallen asleep” along the road to conversion. The most powerful stories of conversion are proclaimed during these final weeks of Lent. They have the power to shake us out of our sleep.
Today’s Gospel story of the healing of the man born blind exposes the real blind- ness in the time of Christ—the blindness of the self-righteous religious leaders. In a few weeks, at the Easter Vigil, the Church will proclaim “Christ our Light” as the paschal candle is carried into darkened churches throughout the world. May the darkness of sin that still pervades our lives, communities, and world, be dispelled by the Christ who comes to bring sight to the blind and light to the world.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT

Durante la cuaresma y la semana Santa EWTN te trae programación especial y las misas de Pascua en vivo desde Roma y de la Basílica del Santuario Nacional en Washington DC.
A causa del coronavirus, el arzobispo Monseñor Aymond ha dispensado a los feligreses de la obligación de asistir a misa y ha cancelado todas las misas públicas, los Viacrucis y otras

LUZ “Despierta, tú que duermes; levántate de entre los muertos y Cristo será tu
luz” (Efesios 5:14). Estamos a medio camino en la jornada de Cuaresma para la conversión. Como siempre, Dios no se da por vencido con nosotros, especialmente con aquellos que “duermen” en el camino a la conversión. Los más grandes relatos de con- versión se proclaman en estas semanas finales de la Cuaresma. Estos tienen el poder de sacudirnos de nuestro sueño.
El relato del Evangelio de hoy sobre la curación del ciego de nacimiento expone la verdadera ceguera en tiempos de Cristo –la ceguera de los líderes religiosos que se creían muy buenos y justos. Dentro de pocas semanas, en la Vigilia Pascual, la Iglesia proclama- rá a “Cristo nuestra Luz” cuando el Cirio Pascual es llevado dentro de las iglesias oscu- ras de todo el mundo. Que la oscuridad del pecado que impregna nuestra vida, comuni- dades y nuestro mundo sea disipada por Cristo quien viene trayendo vista al ciego y luz al mundo.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
HEALING FOR COMMUNITY It is helpful to observe that our Gospel passage from John, the healing of the blind man, is the
first part of a longer episode. When Jesus’ words end Chapter 9 in today’s passage, he goes on
speaking in the discourse on the Good Shepherd in Chapter 10. The healing of the blind man was not only a demonstration of God’s power, giving
him the physical capacity of sight. It was even more than the awakening of the man’s personal faith in Jesus. The image of the Good Shepherd
confirms that the man was liberated from the so- cial isolation of his blindness and became a mem- ber of Jesus’ flock. All of Jesus’ powerful actions of healing were intended as gifts, not only to indi- viduals, but for the building up of the community
of faith.

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF
SUSAN COMPAGNO
HUMILITY AND ACTION “Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the
appearance, but the LORD looks into the heart.” In our first reading, Samuel draws conclusions about who God will choose as king based on his assumptions of what a proper king looks like. But God sees a deeper reality.
How easy it is to miss our own blindness. How frequent- ly we are unaware of our own flawed assumptions about others and about ourselves. We often need a deeper hu- mility about the limitations of our perceptions and our
convictions. Yet, as the letter to the Ephesians encourages, there are
times to expose the “fruitless works of darkness”, to speak out, especially when persons or groups are suffer- ing from abuse or oppression. We are called to live with- in a tension that these scripture passages convey. We are to seek God’s guidance in prayer with genuine openness. We are then to speak and act forcefully against wrong-
doing, even as we maintain humility about how much we know, or what is the best action to take. We are called to
bring God’s wisdom and mercy to all

HE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN THE CHAPEL BURNS FOR A GOOD
HEALTH OF ELBA CRUZ
ACIÓN PARA LA COMUNIDAD Es practico observar que nuestro pasaje del Evangelio de Juan, la sanación del hombre ciego, es la primera parte de una historia más larga. Cuando las palabras de Jesús ter-
minan en el capítulo 9 en el pasaje de hoy, él continúa hablando en el discurso del Buen Pastor en el capítulo 10. La sanación del hombre ciego no solamente es una demos- tración del poder de Dios, dándole la capacidad física de
ver. Fue más que el despertar en el hombre su fe personal en Jesús. La imagen del Buen Pastor confirma que el hom- bre fue liberado del aislamiento social de su ceguera y llega a ser un miembro del rebaño de Jesús. Todas las acciones
poderosas de sanación de Jesús tuvieron la intensión de ser dones, no solamente para esas personas, sino para el desar-
rollo de la comunidad de fe.

HUMILDAD Y ACCIÓN “La mirada de Dios no es como la del hombre: el hom- bre ve la apariencia, pero el Señor ve el corazón.” En
nuestra primera lectura, Samuel saca conclusiones acer- ca de quién Dios elegirá como rey basada en sus asun-
ciones de cómo será un rey apropiado. Pero Dios ve una realidad más profunda.
Que tan fácil es pasar por alto nuestra propia ceguera. Que tan frecuentemente estamos ignorantes de los er- rores de nuestras asunciones acerca de los demás y de
nosotros mismos. A menudo necesitamos una humildad más profunda acerca de las limitaciones de nuestras per-
cepciones y nuestras convicciones. Sin embargo, como la carta a los efesios nos anima, hay veces que exponemos los “inútiles trabajos de la oscuri- dad” para hablar, especialmente cuando las personas o grupos están sufriendo a causa del abuso o la opresión.
Estamos llamados a vivir con una tensión que estos pasajes de las Escrituras expresan. Vamos a buscar el
consejo de Dios en la oración con una apertura genuina. Estamos, entonces, hablando y actuando enérgicamente
en contra del pecado, incluso mientras tenemos hu- mildad acerca de lo mucho que sabemos, o cual es la
mejor acción a seguir. Estamos llamados para llevar a todos la sabiduría y misericordia de Dios.
FILL US Open wide the windows of our spirits and fill us full of light; open wide the door of our hearts,
that we may receive and entertain Thee with all our powers of adoration.
—Christina Rossetti
LLÉNANOS Abre de par en par las ventanas de nuestro espíritu y
