A Message from Fr. Roberto
What is Lent About?
Every car or truck carries in the glove compartment a maintenance schedule.
Having your oil changed, your tires rotated and balanced, and the rest of the
engine checked keeps your vehicle in excellent shape. Lent provides us an
opportunity to open our personal maintenance schedule and take a close look
at ourselves as we journey towards eternal life. Lent provides us with an ex-
cellent opportunity to strengthen ourselves so that we can keep moving
against the current of ego, pleasure and materialism that surrounds us.
A successful Lent requires us to develop a serious plan of action. Aside from
what the Church law of fast and abstinence requires of us, we should come
up with a personal program for spiritual growth. This is our personal mainte-
nance program. I have always recommended that we come up with some-
thing we give up and something extra we do. h ps://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/b2/86/
f1b286ff4eda326707719231667bfe8c.gif
We can give up one or more things. This sacrifice should be serious and de-
manding. The self-control that we exercise in giving up a legitimate pleasure strengthens our will and sense
of discipline, and it curbs the inclinations of our passions. It is good for us to tell ourselves “no” now and
then!
Then, we should also do some kind of extra act that we would not normally do on a regular basis. Attending
daily Mass, visiting the sick, volunteering time at the parish or praying a Sunday evening Rosary with the en-
tire family are positive acts of virtue that have helped many people progress in their relationship with God.
Lenten practices of penance have great benefits for our spiritual lives. A serious Lent will be like a spring
cleaning which will purify the clutter that has accumulated in our souls. A serious commitment to penance
will also help us to conquer addictions, obsessions and compulsive behavior. A serious Lent will purify our
soul and allow us to experience a deeper interior freedom.
As we begin our Lenten season, we should take some time and carefully examine our lives. Usually we fo-
cus on carefully examining the sins we commit, but do we ever consider the sins of omission? Do we honest-
ly consider the good things that we are not doing and that we should be doing?

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma Página 5
Un Mensaje de Padre Roberto
¿Qué Es La Cuaresma?
Tomado de: http://www.aciprensa.com/fiestas/cuaresma/
cuaresma.htm
La Cuaresma es el tiempo litúrgico de conversión, que marca la Igle-
sia para prepararnos a la gran fiesta de la Pascua. Es tiempo para arrepen-
tirnos de nuestros pecados y de cambiar algo de nosotros para ser mejores
y poder vivir más cerca de Cristo.
La Cuaresma dura 40 días; comienza el Miércoles de Ceniza y termi-
na antes de la Misa de la Cena del Señor del Jueves Santo. A lo largo de
este tiempo, sobre todo en la liturgia del domingo, hacemos un esfuerzo por
recuperar el ritmo y estilo de verdaderos creyentes que debemos vivir como
hijos de Dios.

El color litúrgico de este tiempo es el morado que significa luto y pe- EmTVeSyQc-A/WLeV_kRdUEI/
nitencia. Es un tiempo de reflexión, de penitencia, de conversión espiritual; AAAAAAAAPpA/
tiempo de preparación al misterio pascual. enpRbVTyUxwxQC4yTM6ly Csg4OuT-
En la Cuaresma, Cristo nos invita a cambiar de vida y pedir que Dios daACEw/s1600/6214953_5f032.gif
nos dé un corazón nuevo, más como el suyo. La Iglesia nos invita a vivir la
Cuaresma como un camino hacia Jesucristo, escuchando la Palabra de Dios, orando, compartiendo con
el prójimo y haciendo obras buenas. Nos invita a vivir una serie de actitudes cristianas que nos ayudan a
parecernos más a Jesucristo, ya que por acción de nuestro pecado, nos alejamos más de Dios.
Por ello, la Cuaresma es el tiempo del perdón y de la reconciliación fraterna. Cada día, durante
toda la vida, hemos de arrojar de nuestros corazones el odio, el rencor, la envidia, los celos que se opo-
nen a nuestro amor a Dios y a los hermanos. En Cuaresma, aprendemos a conocer y apreciar la Cruz de
Jesús. Con esto aprendemos también a tomar nuestra cruz con alegría para alcanzar la gloria de la resu-
rrección.
La duración de la Cuaresma está basada en el símbolo del número cuarenta en la Biblia. En ésta,
se habla de los cuarenta días del diluvio, de los cuarenta años de la marcha del pueblo judío por el de-
sierto, de los cuarenta días de Moisés y de Elías en la montaña, de los cuarenta días que pasó Jesús en
el desierto antes de comenzar su vida pública, de los 400 años que duró la estancia de los judíos en
Egipto.
En la Biblia, el número cuatro simboliza el universo material, seguido de ceros significa el tiempo
de nuestra vida en la tierra, seguido de pruebas y dificultades.
La práctica de la Cuaresma data desde el siglo IV, cuando se da la tendencia a constituirla en
tiempo de penitencia y de renovación para toda la Iglesia, con la práctica del ayuno y de la abstinencia.
Conservada con bastante vigor, al menos en un principio, en las iglesias de oriente, la práctica peniten-
cial de la Cuaresma ha sido cada vez más aligerada en occidente, pero debe observarse un espíritu pe-
nitencial y de conversión.
En esta Cuaresma, debemos examinar cuidadosamente nuestras vidas. Usualmente nos enfoca-
mos en examinar cuidadosamente nuestros pecados de comisión, pero ¿alguna vez consideramos los
pecados de omisión? O sea, ¿consideramos honestamente el bien que no estamos haciendo y que de-
bemos hacer?

Together in Mission Annual Appeal 2022
“As One We Believe”
March 6 - Follow up Sunday
Archbishop Gomez invites us to make our annual commitment to help our parishes
and schools that need our help. If you have made a gift in the past, a letter should
have arrived at your home this past week asking you to renew your support.
You can return that pledge card via mail or make your pledge at
www.togetherinmission.org/give.
This year’s theme, As One We Believe, was personally chosen by our Archbishop
Jose Gomez. It is a special message from our leader that anything is possible if we
believe as one family of faith.
