Price: humility. Challenge: to overcome laziness and what people think. Objective: to be free in the Lord and prove to you that the soul’s salvation is very important, as is to be at peace with God and with others. Requirement: make a good examination of conscience, confess your sins and not those of others; remember it is confession and not spiritual direction or counseling. And finally, do not be afraid or ashamed to confess your sins. Remember that your eternity may depend on a confession. March 12 Next Saturday we will continue working in the Parish Plan from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. We look forward to your ideas in order to build a great community. From 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm we will have training for all altar servers. Also invited are those who will make their First Communion on April 30. Help us so that your children are closer to the Lord, and from an early age learn to commit to serving God and the community. Reflection The role of an ambassador is to represent his government in another country. The end of the second reading tells us that we are ambassadors for Christ; then, it would be good to ask ourselves – how do we represent Christ in our home, in the community, at work, etc.? Are we proud of it or are we ashamed to say that we are Catholics? In the Gospel the Lord is giving us the parable of the Prodigal Son. I want to invite you to carefully read at home Luke 15: 1-3,11-32 and look at each of the characters in the parable, and think which of the characters you identify more and why, and if God is happy that you be that person. Remember, in this Gospel we see once again the mercy of God and what He wants for us and expects from us. God bless you Fr. Fabio Noticias del Padre Fabio Servicio Penitencial Este jueves 10 de marzo, tendremos el servicio penitencial a las 7:00 pm. Precio: humildad; Reto: vencer la pereza y el qué dirán; Objetivo: ser libre en el Señor y demostrarse a sí mismo(a) que la salvación de su alma es muy importante; cómo también el estar en paz con Dios y con los demás. Requisito: hacer un buen examen de consciencia, confesar sus pecados y no los de los demás; recuerda es confesión y no dirección espiritual o consejería. Y por último, no tengas miedo o vergüenza de confesar tus pecados. Recuerda que de una confesión, puede depender tu eternidad. Marzo 12 El próximo sábado seguiremos trabajando en el Plan Parroquial desde las 10:00 am hasta la 1:00 pm. Te esperamos con tus ideas para así construir una gran comunidad. De 2:00 pm a 4:00 pm tendremos el entrenamiento para todos los monaguillos. También están invitados los que harán la primera Comunión el 30 de abril. Ayúdenos para que sus hijos e hijas estén más cerca al Señor, y que desde temprana edad aprendan a comprometerse con el servicio a Dios y a la comunidad. Reflexión La función de un embajador es representar su gobierno en otro país. Al final de la segunda lectura se nos dice que nosotros somos embajadores de Cristo; entonces, sería bueno que nos preguntáramos - ¿cómo representamos a Cristo en nuestra casa, en la comunidad, en el trabajo, etc.? ¿Lo llevamos con orgullo o nos avergonzamos de decir que somos Católicos? En el Evangelio, el Señor nos está regalando la Parábola del Hijo prodigo. Quiero invitarte a que en casa leas detenidamente Lucas 15: 1-3,11-32, y mires a cada uno de los personajes de la Parábola, y pienses con cuál de los personajes te identificas más y por qué, y si Dios está feliz de que tú seas esa persona. Recuerda, que en este Evangelio vemos una vez más la misericordia de Dios y de lo que El quiere para nosotros y espera de nosotros. Que Dios los bendiga. Padre Fabio
