Dear St. Matthew Parishioners and Friends,
Everyone loves springtime. Spring is here and the weather is
already getting warmer, and beautiful flowers are beginning to
bloom all around us. But anyone with a beautiful garden will
attest to the fact that the flowers do not magically appear as if
the change in season itself miraculously makes the flowers
bloom. Beautiful flowers and lush gardens are the result of
hard work by the gardener.
Imagine a man is given some flower seeds. The man then buries
the seeds in the ground and leaves them on their own. As the
months pass and rain falls, some seeds may receive enough
nourishment to bloom. But simply burying seeds in the ground will
hardly make for a gorgeous garden. Rather, if the man truly
wants to enjoy many beautiful flowers, there is much care and
work ahead. Recognizing the hidden beauty within these simple
seeds, he must cultivate the ground, plant the seeds in a solid
foundation, and water and fertilize them throughout the year.
Only then will he see the proper fruit these seeds were made to
bear.
This simple illustration speaks to our hearts this season — not only
as we look around at the flowers, but more importantly, as we
reflect on the springtime of the Church. We are preparing to
celebrate the great feast of Easter when, through His death and
Resurrection, Christ offers us

Dear St. Matthew Parishioners and Friends,
(cont’d)
Estimados feligreses y amigos de St. Matthew,
the greatest gift of all—eternal life with Him forever.
This celebration leads us to reflect on the many gifts
God has given us in this life and the fruit they will
bear, especially as we look to life eternal.
A todos nos encanta la Primavera. La Primavera ha comenzado
oficialmente, y el tiempo ya se esta volviendo mas templado,
hermosas flores comienzan a florecer por todas partes.
Cualquier persona con un hermoso jardín hará constar el hecho
de que las flores no aparecen mágicamente. Hermosas flores y
frondosos jardines son el resultado de un trabajo arduo y
constante por el jardinero.
He has given each of us a multitude of gifts so that
we can better serve Him and bring others to Him. Do
we notice the hidden potential of our gifts? Do we
see them, like the seed, as seemingly small, yet so full
of fruit? Everything we have — our time, talents, and
treasure — is a gift from the Lord. Do we accept
gifts in gratitude, then put them to use by cultivating
and nourishing them so they will bear the proper
fruit?
Imagínese que a un hombre se le dan algunas semillas de flores,
las entierra y las deja solas, descuidadas. Pasan los meses y la
lluvia cae, algunas semillas pueden recibir suficiente alimento
para florecer, pero semillas simplemente enterradas en el suelo
difícilmente hacen un jardín precioso. Por el contrario, si el
hombre realmente quiere disfrutar de muchas flores hermosas,
les dará mucha atención y cuidado. Reconociendo la belleza
escondida dentro de estas semillas simples, el preparará la
tierra, plantará las semillas en una base solida, las regará y las
fertilizará por todo el año. Solo así verá el fruto apropiado de
estas semillas.
Just like the springtime flowers we now enjoy, our
time, talents, and treasure need to be cared for. Our
gifts need to be cultivated and nourished. Only then
will we see them for what they are — wonderful gifts
given by God and meant for His greater glory.
Este simple ejemplo nos habla al Corazón de esta temporada—
no solamente viendo las flores a nuestro alrededor, pero lo mas
importante, es reflexionar sobre la primavera de la Iglesia.
La fiesta de la Pascua nos lleva a reflexionar sobre la muerte y
la Resurrección donde Cristo nos ofrece el regalo mas grande
de todos, la vida eterna.
Like the seeds, if we use our gifts flippantly, we may
see some fruits here and there. But we are called to
so much more. We are called to build a beautiful
garden. We are called to offer God the most
beautiful flowers of all.
Dios ha dado a cada uno de nosotros una multitud de regalos
para que podamos servirle mejor y acercar a otros hacia El.
¿Nos damos cuenta del potencial oculto de nuestros regalos?
?Los vemos como las semillas tan pequeñas, pero llenas de
fruto? Todo lo que tenemos—nuestro tiempo, talentos y tesoro
es un don de Dios.
¿Aceptamos los regalos en gratitud, luego los ponemos en uso
cultivándolos y cuidándolos para que puedan dar el fruto
apropiado?
This season, as we look at all the beautiful flowers
around us and enjoy God’s creation, let us think
about the seeds in our own lives.
Ask yourself if you have accepted the gifts God has
given you — your time, your talents, and your
treasure — and cultivated and cared for them
properly.
Or, do they just sit dormant within you, yearning to
bloom?
Blessings,
Ann Connelly
Admissions Director
St. Matthew Catholic School
Al igual que las flores de la primavera que ahora disfrutamos,
nuestro tiempo, talentos y tesoro necesitan ser atendidos.
Nuestros dones tienen que ser cultivados y nutridos. Solo
entonces los vemos como son—los regalos maravillosos que Dios
nos da para el propósito de Su gloria.
Al igual que las semillas, si no tomamos nuestros regalos
seriamente veremos frutos de vez en cuando. Pero estamos
llamados a hacer mucho mas. Estamos llamados a construir un
jardín maravilloso. Estamos llamados a ofrecerle a Dios la flor
mas bella de todas.
Esta temporada, mientras observamos todas las bellas flores
que nos rodean y disfrutamos de la creación de Dios,
apliquemos las semillas en nuestras propias vidas.
Preguntémonos si hemos aceptado los regalos que Dios nos ha
dado. Preguntémonos si los hemos cuidado y cultivado de
manera adecuada.
¿O simplemente sentimos latente en nuestro interior el anhelo de
florecer?
Bendiciones,

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Domingo de Ramos
“de la Pasión del Señor”
Misericordiae Vultus: El rosto de la Misericordia es el documento oficial (en este
caso una Bula papal) anunciando este
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. Sin embargo, el Domingo de Ramos de 2013, el Papa Francisco había anunciado que “Jesús ha mostrado el rostro de la misericordia de Dios”. El Papa Francisco describe la historia
del Evangelio de Lucas donde Jesús entra en Jerusalén
así: “Gentío, fiesta, alabanza, bendición, paz. Se
respira un clima de alegría. Jesús ha despertado en el
corazón tantas esperanzas, sobre todo entre la gente
humilde, simple, pobre, olvidada, esa que no cuenta a
los ojos del mundo. Él ha sabido comprender las
miserias humanas, ha mostrado el rostro de misericordia de Dios y se ha inclinado para curar el cuerpo y
el alma”. El Papa Francisco sigue diciendo que Jesús
al entrar a Jerusalén mira a todos con amor en nuestras debilidades y pecados. “Es una bella escena,
llena de luz – la luz del amor de Jesús, de su corazón
–, de alegría, de fiesta” (Papa Francisco, homilía del
Domingo de Ramos, 24 de marzo de 2013). ¡Qué la
Semana Santa y Triduo Pascual de este Año Jubilar de
la Misericordia nos hagan portadores de la luz de Jesús y mensajeros de amor a todos los que anhelan ver
El rostro de la Misericordia!

Stewardship by the Book
La Administración de Nuestro Tiempo, Talento y
Tesoro como Bienes de Dios, según “el Libro”
En la historia del Evangelio del primer Domingo de
Ramos, oímos que al dueño del asno solo había que
decirle, “El Señor lo necesita” para dar al animal gustosamente. Estoy tan dispuesto a dar para la obra
del Señor?
Ver Lucas 19:34
In the Gospel story of the first Palm Sunday, we
hear that the owners of the ass had only to be
told, “The Master has need of it,” to give the animal gladly. Do I give as readily to the Lord’s
work?
See Luke 19:34
