Renovate & Celebrate
With our monetary goal for Phase 1 within sight, there was much lively
discussion at the recent Renovate and Celebrate Committee meeting. Fr.
Tony spoke about the trend as far as kneelers in the church are concerned. The next step is presenting his idea about the kneelers from the
pulpit. Fr. Tony has also been approached about redoing the inner upholstered doors leading into the church. The excitement of Renovating
our church is undeniable. After years of fundraising, our vision will
soon become a reality. Thank you for your continued support

Fifth Sunday Of Lent
Dear Friends,
There is a tendency among many Christians to want to
reduce Christianity to the afterlife: the present life is
merely a rehearsal for the next; the real life is after you
die. Is this what Jesus is talking about in today’s
gospel?: “Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever
hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal
life.” The other extreme to this question is the reduction
of Christianity to social justice activism. Is this what
Jesus models for us? As in most things in the gospels we
cannot take things literal and we cannot reduce things to
black and white realities.
Last Sunday, after mass, a parishioner asked me a
question to clarify something I had mentioned in the
homily: “Is grace alone enough for salvation, and is what
I do important at all for it?” This question was asked
from the old Protestant/Catholic debate between faith/
works. Today, I think cooler heads and hearts prevail and
we can say that a more honest answer is not either/or, but
both/and. Salvation is a grace out of God’s own
initiative. What salvation and grace seek to do in us is
transform and renew the person and society from within;
according to the values and priorities of the Kingdom of
God, so that how we live and what we do flows from this
new reality of citizens of God’s kingdom. This is what
we pray for every time we pray the Our Father: “Your
kingdom come, Your will be done.” We pray that we
make the vision, values, and priorities of God’s Kingdom
a reality in our lives here on earth as it is in heaven.
However, it is not the expectation of God nor of Jesus
that the vision, values and priorities of the Kingdom
ought to be lived out of pure will or social activism. The
vision, values, and priorities are meant to flow out of the
concrete experience of being transformed and renewed
by the grace of God. That is why we are told to “to seek
first the Kingdom of God”, for “what does it benefit
someone to gain the whole world and lose him/herself in
the end?” Yes, it is God’s grace, out of God’s own
initiative that saves and restores us (faith), and what I do
in response to this grace confirms and produces the fruits
of the Kingdom for which God holds us accountable
(works). Yes, God is loving, compassionate, and
merciful, but also demanding, and rightly so!
Fr. Tony Díaz, CMF

Queridos Amigos,
Existe una tendencia en muchos cristianos de reducir el
cristianismo al más allá: el presente es solo un ensayo para
la otra vida, la vida real después de la muerte. Sera esto a
lo que Jesús se refiere en el evangelio de hoy: “El que se
ama a sí mismo, se pierde; el que se aborrece a sí mismo en
este mundo, se asegura para la vida eterna.” El otro
extremo de esta cuestión es la reducción del cristianismo al
activismo de la justicia social. ¿Es esto lo que Jesús
modela? Es un gran error tomar las cosas literalmente en
los evangelios o reducirlas a realidades en blanco y negro.
El domingo pasado después de misa un parroquiano me
pidió que le aclarara algo que mencione en la homilía. “¿Es
por solo la gracia que somos salvados o mis obras también
tienen algo que ver con esto?” El trasfondo de esta
pregunta es el debate clásico protestante/católico entre fe y
obras. Hoy, creo que mentes más calmadas pueden dar una
respuesta más honesta: no es el uno o el otro sino las dos.
La salvación es una gracia por pura iniciativa de Dios. La
salvación y gracia buscan transformar y renovar al
individuo y sociedad desde dentro de acuerdo a los valores
y prioridades del Reino de Dios para que nuestras vidas y
acciones fluyan desde esta nueva realidad de ser
ciudadanos del Reino. Esto es lo que oramos en el Padre
Nuestro: “Vénganos tu Reino, hágase tu voluntad.”
Oramos para que nosotros hagamos la visión, los valores, y
prioridades del Reino de Dios una realidad en nuestras
vidas aquí en la tierra como lo es en el cielo.
Sin embargo, no es la expectativa de Dios ni de Jesús de
que esta visión y prioridades del Reino se cumplan por
pura voluntad o activismo social nuestro. La visión, los
valores y las prioridades suponen que fluyen de la
experiencia concreta de verse uno siendo transformado y
renovado por la gracia de Dios. Por eso se nos dice,
“busca primero el Reino de Dios,” puesto “de que le sirve
al hombre ganarse el mundo si se pierde a sí mismo.” Sí,
es la gracia de Dios, por su propia iniciativa lo que nos
salva y restaura (fe), y lo que yo hago en respuesta a esta
iniciativa de Dios confirma y produce los frutos del Reino
de los cuales Dios me hace responsable (obras). ¡Si, Dios
es bueno, compasivo y misericordioso, pero también es
muy exigente, y con mucho derecho lo es!

What is the Presentation of the Lord’s Prayer for
those in the RCIA process?
¿Que es la Presentación de La Oración del Señor para
aquellos en el proceso de RICA?
The Lord’s Prayer, this prayer of hope is to Catholics a summary of the entire Christian life and a model of that relationship of trust that we are invited to enter as children of our Heavenly Father, and entrusts to
those seeking to enter the Catholic Church the precious words of our Lord on prayer. This rite symbolizes the passing down of our heritage of prayer,
learned at the feet of the Savior, and nurtured in the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit that is the Church.
(Adapted from the Association for Catechumenal Ministry)
La Oración del Señor, es una oración de esperanza para
Católicos; que resume toda la vida Cristiana y da un modelo
de la relación de confianza que se nos invita a entrar como
hijos de nuestro Padre Celestial, y confía las preciosas palabras de nuestro Señor a los que tratan de entrar a la Iglesia
Católica. Este rito simboliza la herencia de nuestro patrimonio de la oración, aprendido a los pies del Salvador, y nutrido en la comunión del Espíritu Santo, que es la Iglesia.
