Third Sunday of Lent
The Path to Freedom
Most of us, if we were asked "Does the phrase 'the Ten Commandments' appear in the Bible?" would likely get it wrong, because the
answer is "no." "The Ten Commandments" is a post-biblical, phrase that developed along with an image of God as police officer that is
not found in today's passage from Exodus. The first phrase is the key: God is the one who brings us out of slavery; following God's law
or commands is our path to freedom. The moneychangers whom Jesus drove from the temple were not explicitly breaking any of the
commandments, but neither were they helping people to find God's path to freedom as they came to worship at the temple. This is an
important Lenten lesson for us. We need to stop asking ourselves whether or not we are breaking specific rules or regulations and instead
examine our lives to see if we are truly following a path to God's freedom through Christ.

Pray for our Elect
The Scrutinies
These very special rites are celebrated on the middle three Sundays
of Lent, at liturgies where the Elect are present. The Elect are
those in our midst who are preparing for Baptism. The adults
and children of our parish who will be received into the Catholic
Church at the Easter Vigil are: Lisbeth Gaspar, Sayuri Geronca,
Refugio Gutierrez, Jr., Miriam Ivon Juarez, Phoebe Phillips,
Sebastian Peralta & Manuel Villalpando Coronado.
Even if these rites are not celebrated at the liturgy we attend, or not
celebrated in our parish or congregation at all, it can be wonderful
to reflect upon the journey these Elect are making during Lent, as
an inspiration and source of renewal for us in our journey. These are
ancient rites and they may, at first, seem strange to us. But they are
profoundly rooted in our human experience. We need to examine
(scrutinize) how we are, the areas of our lives where we are tempted,
or seriously sin - in what we do and what we fail to do. Please keep
the Elect in your prayers as you continue your Lenten journey.

Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
Camino a la Libertad
La mayoría de nosotros, si nos preguntaran "¿Aparece la frase 'los Diez Mandamientos' en la Biblia?" daríamos la respuesta errónea, pues
la respuesta es "no". "Los diez mandamientos" es una frase post-bíblica, que se desarrolló junto con una imagen de Dios como 'policía' la
cual no se encuentra en el pasaje de hoy del libro del Éxodo. La primera frase es clave: Dios es el que nos sacó de la esclavitud; cumplir las
leyes o mandamientos de Dios es nuestro camino a la libertad. Los cambistas a quienes Jesús echó del templo no estaban violando ninguno
de los mandamientos, pero tampoco estaban ayudando a la gente a encontrar el camino hacia la libertad de Dios cuando llegaban al Templo
a rezar. Esta es una lección de la Cuaresma importante para nosotros. Tenemos que dejar de preguntarnos si estamos o no violando alguna
regla o reglamento específico, y en cambio examinar nuestra vida para ver si verdaderamente estamos siguiendo un camino hacia la libertad
de Dios por medio de Cristo.

Did you Know?
Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is healthy
Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is not sex education. There are many safety issues we teach children: bike safety,
water safety, fire prevention, driver's training, etc. Personal safety programs should have age appropriate lessons that give children the skills
they need to protect themselves without frightening them. Keeping children unaware of the dangers around them does not keep them
safe. Predators count on children not knowing what to do. For more information, please visit:
http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/child-and-youth-protection/faqs.cfm.
Heaven is at present out of sight, but in due time, as snow melts and discovers what it lay upon, so will this visible creation fade away before those greater
splendors which are behind it. --John Henry Newman

¿Sabía Usted?
Es saludable enseñar a los niños sobre la seguridad personal y los límites del contacto físico con otros
Enseñar a los niños sobre los límites y cuando un contacto físico con otros es seguro no es educación sexual. Hay muchos temas de
seguridad que enseñamos a los niños: seguridad en las bicicletas, seguridad en el agua, prevención de incendios, entrenamiento para
conducir, etc. Los programas de seguridad personal deben contar con lecciones apropiadas para la edad, que les brinde a los niños la
información que ellos necesitan para protegerse sin asustarlos. Mantener a los niños sin el conocimiento de los peligros a su alrededor no
los mantiene seguros. Los predadores cuentan con que los niños no saben lo que hacen. Para más información, por favor visite:

através del ‘Sobre de Flores’. Este sobre viene incluido en el paquete
de sobres dominicales. Favor de depositar su sobre en la colecta
dominical o de entregarla al Centro Parroquial. De antemano
agradecemos por contribuir en nuestros esfuerzos al embellecer
nuestro santuario para la celebración del Triduo Sagrado y
Resureccion de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
La próxima semana, 14 y 15 de marzo, se realizará en nuestra
parroquia la colecta para "Catholic Relief Services" (Servicios
Católicos de Alivio). Esta Colecta otorga financiamiento a seis
agencias Católicas que tocan a más de 100 millones de vidas
alrededor del mundo. Los fondos de esta colecta proporcionan
alimento al hambriento, ayuda a los refugiados desplazados y
muestra el amor y el respeto de Cristo a todas las personas. La
próxima semana, por favor contribuyan generosamente a la Colecta
de "Catholic Relief Services".
Este es un concurso de cecaudación de fondos para ayudar a mejorar
las necesidades esenciales de la parroquia. Favor de apoyar a los candidatos al comprar boletos de rifa, boletos para la cena de gala y/o

Las "Hijas de San Pablo" visitaran nuestra parroquia para una
feria de libros el domingo, 22 de marzo. Uno de sus ministerios
es "Pauline Books & Media", una libreria ubicada en Culver City,
donde se pueden encontrar libros, DVDs, y música para ayudar a su
familia crecer en su fe y expresar su identidad Católica. Ellas van a
traer libros para todas las edades, las vidas de los Santos en DVD,
música por el coro de las Hijas de San Pablo, y recursos para la
Cuaresma.
Queremos agradecer a todos ustedes que han dado generosamente
a Unidos en Mision en los últimos años. Estos fondos han ayudado,
literalmente, no sólo para proporcionar el ministerio, sino también
para mantener las puertas abiertas en 80 parroquias y 63 escuelas en
toda la Arquidiócesis de Los Angeles con el apoyo de la campaña.
Su donación nos permite proveer los recursos y ministerios
esenciales que enriquecen la vida parroquial, fortalecen las familias,
promueven el liderazgo en la Iglesia e inspira y educa a las futuras
generaciones de nuestra fe.
Unidos en Misión tiene un nuevo sitio web en Español donde se
