LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
Ask the Holy Spirit to open your mind and heart to hear the Word of God. Take time to read the
Mass Readings for Sunday, March 10
NOTE: the readings for 12 PM Mass will be the Scrutiny Year A Readings
As you read the scriptures, take note of a word or phrase that stands out to you. God has prepared this for you. Let the word or phrase that stood out become your invitation to dialogue with God. Allow the word or phrase to wash over you and permeate your thoughts. Spend some quiet time in prayer asking Jesus to reveal what he wants to reveal to you through these readings.
LATIN CHANTS AT MASS
During Lent, we will sing the Latin Chant Mass parts. Using Latin reminds us that we are one universal, Catholic Church; Latin is a sign of unity. (Read more about Why Latin at Sunday Mass During Lent?) You may find it helpful to listen to the Latin Chants before coming to Mass.

Un mensaje del p. Carlos
El tiempo de cuaresma tiene el 4to domingo, llamado: laetare o alegrate, que significa, como alegrarse ya casi llegas, no te desanimes sigue caminando y proponiendo algo nuevo para tu vida con Dios, es un como un pequeño aviso para decirnos estamos cerca pero todavía no llega, o sea todavía hay tiempo de arreglar las cargas y llegar a la pascua con un nuevo espíritu con una nueva actitud, con nuevos propósitos. Ya podemos alegrarnos, pero si hay algo por arreglar todavía estamos a tiempo, hagámoslo.
Este día las lecturas están enfocadas a la entrega de Dios en su Hijo Jesucristo, murió para librarnos de la muerte eterna. Este domingo levantamos la cabeza para alabar al Dios vivo, con alegría, porque Dios nos ha amado hasta redimirnos que significa pagar nuestra deuda, y lo hizo, mediante la Muerte y resurrección del HIjo, y todavía está presente mediante el poder del Espíritu Santo, incluso cuando sufrimos el menor dolor, y grandes tragedias de la vida.
Recordemos y vivamos a Jesús en la Cruz que es amor, misericordia y salvación. El Dios en que nosotros ponemos nuestra confianza es el Dios misericordioso que se entregó para dar la vida en rescate nuestro. Por eso hoy hace referencia a esa entrega libre y generosa. Él es la luz del mundo y por lo tanto de nuestras vidas. Nos quiere alumbrar para que salgamos de las tinieblas del error, del odio, la indiferencia, pereza, si queremos andar en esa luz, nos pide que vivamos en la verdad.
Hermanos hay muchas formas de estar en la oscuridad, no solo matando, o robando, muchas otras actitudes nuestras no son de la luz, estamos aún cuaresma , todavía debemos aprovechar para aprender sobre el amor, que no es sino , el camino de la conversión. Amar supone convertirse cada día. Nos convertimos cuando elegimos el bien y buscamos la luz de la verdad. No es fácil pero es posible, a todos se nos ha dado el mismo Espíritu que nos hace decir Padre, Padre, perdóname, quiero cambiar, todos tenemos la misma posibilidad, por que a todos en la cruz nos ha sanado, nos ha liberado.
Dios al pueblo de Israel siempre le cuido y mandó a sus mensajeros para que no se perdieran, pero ellos en su dureza y necedad, no atendían a los mensajeros, más bien los ignoraban y maltrataban. Nosotros tenemos esos mensajeros todavía hoy, está la palabra de Dios, la Eucaristía, el sacramento de la reconciliación, un vecino o amigo que nos invita a un retiro, la misa etc. No lo despreciemos , atendamos su voz de amor y misericordia, porque no quiere la muerte del pecador, si no , que viva, que se convierta y que viva como redimido. Amen.

ALMSGIVING OPPORTUNITIES
During Lent, we are asked to focus more intently on "almsgiving," which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity. As one of the three pillars of Lenten practice, almsgiving is "a witness to fraternal charity" and "a work of justice pleasing to God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2462). LENT COIN BOXES This Lent our coin box donations will go to help CRS Rice Bowl. Pick up a coin box this weekend after Mass.
GUIDELINES FOR LENT: ABSTINENCE
Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. In addition, all Catholics 14 years old and older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent. For more information visit usccb.org
SECOND SCRUTINY
This weekend is the second scrutiny for our Elect and Candidates in OCIA (formally RCIA). Let us pray that God may dispel darkness and be the light that shines in the hearts following adults who are in the process of receiving their sacrament(s) this Easter Vigil.
Catechumens: Joana Andelin, Taylor Carrasco, Sheila Mann, Quinn Morgan
Candidates Nicklaus Bolduc, Sarah Nagengast, Luz Perez, Jaleen Villalobos
Prayer for the scrutinies:
Jesus you prayed, “I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours." We join you in praying for these catechumens and candidates that you may keep them and protect them, that they may stay in you and may come to full union with you and your church at the Easter Vigil.

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
Why are children with disabilities at risk?
Children with disabilities are at higher risk for maltreatment and abuse. In many cases, this is because these children may be more vulnerable to grooming or exploitation by a perpetrator, need extra attention and care, which can lead to caregiver burnout and frustration, isolation from community, and financial strain. To learn more, read the VIRTUS® article ”Children Living with Disabilities and Risk for Child Maltreatment and Victimization” at lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
Read the VIRTUS® article ”Children Living with Disabilities and Risk for Child Maltreatment and Victimization” here.
¿Por qué los niños con discapacidad están en riesgo?
Los niños con discapacidad corren un mayor riesgo de sufrir malos tratos y abusos. En muchos casos, esto se debe a que estos niños pueden ser más vulnerables al acoso o a la explotación por parte de un perpetrador, y necesitan atención y cuidados adicionales, lo que puede llevar al agotamiento y a la frustración de los cuidadores, al aislamiento de la comunidad y a las tensiones financieras.
