The 5th Sunday of Lent, March 13, 2016

Rev. Johnson Lopez,

Pastor
Dear Community,

Estimada Comunidad,

For this Fifth Sunday of Lent

we read the passage from the
Gospel of John about a woman
caught in adultery. The scribes and Pharisees
brought the woman before Jesus, hoping to
severely punish her. As we meditate with this
passage from scriptures, I think there are two
lessons we can take from it.

Para este quinto domingo de Cuaresma leemos el

pasaje del Evangelio de Juan sobre una mujer
descubierta cometiendo adulterio. Los escribas y
fariseos llevan a la mujer ante Jess, con la esperanza
de castigarla severamente. Al meditar con este pasaje
de las escrituras, creo que hay dos lecciones que
podemos tomar de ella.

First, we should ask: Is it our role to

judge a person for his/her sins? Do we truly
have the autonomy to do so? After reading
this Gospel, the answer is no. Even speaking
about someones sins is an act of judgment. It
affects the good name and dignity of the
person, and it is a sin in itself. The sacrament
of Confession is not a judgement, rather a
moment of mercy. The priest acts in Persona
Christi, meaning Christ forgives the persons
sins through the ministry of the priest.

En primer lugar, debemos preguntarnos: "Es

nuestro papel juzgar a una persona por sus pecados?
Realmente tenemos la autonoma para hacerlo?
Despus de leer este Evangelio, la respuesta es no.
Incluso, el solo hecho de hablar de los pecados de
alguien es un acto de juicio porque afecta el buen
nombre y la dignidad de la persona, y es un pecado en
s mismo. El sacramento de la Confesin no es un
juicio, sino un momento de piedad. El sacerdote acta
in persona Christi, es decir, Cristo perdona los
pecados de la persona a travs del ministerio del
sacerdote.

The second teaching moment is about

Gods mercy. After everyone left, Jesus asked
the woman, where are they? And this is
the great moment of mercy in the Gospel,
Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now
on do not sin anymore.

El segundo momento de enseanza trata de la

misericordia de Dios. Despus de que todos se fueron,
Jess le pregunt a la mujer: "... dnde estn?" Y
este es el gran momento de la misericordia en el
Evangelio, "Tampoco yo te condeno. Ve, y de ahora
en adelante no peques ms. "

During this year, we are learning about

Gods great mercy toward us. He is truly a
merciful father who is willing to forgive our
sins as long as we recognize them. He also
tells us Go, and from now on do not sin
anymore.

Durante este ao, estamos aprendiendo acerca de

la gran misericordia de Dios para nosotros. l es
verdaderamente un padre misericordioso que est
dispuesto a perdonar nuestros pecados, siempre y
cuando los reconozcamos. Tambin nos dice "Ve, y
de ahora en adelante no peques ms."

God bless you all.

Dios los bendiga a todos.

So the sisters sent word to Jesus
saying, "Master, the one you love is
ill." When Jesus heard this he said,
"This illness is not to end in death,
but is for the glory of God, that the
Son of God may be glorified
through it." - Jn 11:3-4 -11

God is patient, God is faithful, and
God is ready to forgive us anything!

The
Doors
of Mercy
are Open

A great Jesuit practice is to immerse ourselves into the

gospel stories as if we were there. Pope Francis, raised
in that tradition, suggests that we see ourselves as
actors in Jesus' parables as the lost lamb, as the
missing coin, as the son who has lost everything coming
home in disgrace. All those stories speak of the urgency
of the one who searches, who waits, who is so eager to
find us, and the one who runs to embrace us with joy that overflows. How amazing to
think that this is how God loves us!

Pray

Ponder
Are my eyes and heart open enough to embrace that
enormity of God's love for me? Am I ready to share
that unconditionally with others?

Serving the
Rochelle Area
For 19 Years

Lord, when I cannot imagine that depth of your love

and forgiveness, help me to act as if I do, and grant
me the faith to begin to believe it! Amen
