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 17
NOTE: the readings for Saturday, March 16 5 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.
THIRD SCRUTINY
This weekend is the third and final 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
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
La vida de la gracia y de la misericordia de Dios es lo más grande que tenemos, por ejemplo, si meditas el salmo 50 te darás cuenta como es el corazón de Dios, como te ama, te cuida y te espera. Y debemos recordar, repetir y orar con esto, “Oh Dios crea en mi un corazón Puro renuévame por dentro con espíritu firme. Devuélveme la alegría de la salvación. Durante la cuaresma hemos revisado nuestra vida de faltas, y seguramente llegamos a la conclusión de que he faltado en cosas muy sencillas y diarias y que no me había percatado de que no están bien y que las debo cambiar porque no me hacen una persona que ama a Dios y que debe amar a los otros. Por eso nos acercaremos a la reconciliación que es personal, con Dios y con los demás. Porque esta dimensión del pecado o de faltas afecta a los demás, a mí mismo y a mi relación con Dios. Hay muchas opiniones acerca del pecado, el perdón, el arrepentimiento etc., pero nosotros debemos contemplar nuestra realidad como creyentes católicos, hay remordimientos por nuestras malas acciones, contra otros, nosotros y la sociedad. Sin embargo, todos tenemos algo bueno que ofrecer siempre, estamos llamados al bien. El sacramento de la penitencia o reconciliación nos regenera, nos sana, limpia nuestras heridas, no lo debemos sustituir por otras prácticas, modernas o psicológicas, porque el sacramento es uno el del Perdón de Dios sobre nosotros.
La Confesión pone a la persona frente a Dios, con la intermediación discreta del sacerdote. Nuestros males –y pecados—suponen en la mayoría de los casos un distanciamiento de la doctrina principal dada por Jesucristo. "Amarás a Dios sobre todas las cosas y al prójimo como a ti mismo" Y es que la mayoría de nuestros pecados son daños hechos a nuestros hermanos cuando nos olvidamos de Dios. Llama la atención que, en relato evangélico del Juicio Final, Cristo pregunta --preguntará-- por los actos buenos y malos realizados con y contra Él en los hermanos. Dar de comer, de beber, abrigo, visitas, etc. Es esa mala relación entre nosotros, Dios y los hermanos lo que produce el pecado. Ahí aparecen la violencia, la explotación, el culto al dinero, etc.
Pongamos atención a lo que San Pablo dice a los hebreos, Cristo ofreció su vida por nuestra salvación, el padeció por nosotros a pesar de que era Dios y se convirtió para nosotros en causa de salvación eterna para todos los que le obedecen. Es un regalo hermanos y hermanas, no lo dejemos ahí a un lado. Hoy es le día de salvación para todos nosotros, El viene en nuestro auxilio siempre. No nos dejemos llevar por doctrinas que llevan a la muerte de la vida de fe, seamos humildes y reconozcamos nuestras faltas y pecados y vayamos con amor a recibir el perdón de Dios y el nuestro. Que Asi sea , amen.

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
What is a traumatic experience?
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) defines a traumatic event as a “frightening, dangerous, or violent event that poses a threat to a child’s life or bodily integrity.” This includes events that victimize the children directly or events of this type that children witness, particularly when the person harmed is a loved one. A child’s understanding of safety depends on the safety of his caregivers. For more information, read the VIRTUS® article “Healing from Child Trauma” at lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

¿Qué es una experiencia traumática?
La Red Nacional de Estrés Traumático Infantil (NCTSN, por sus siglas en inglés) define un evento traumático como un “evento aterrador, peligroso o violento que representa una amenaza para la vida o la integridad corporal de un niño”. Esto incluye eventos que victimizan directamente a los niños o eventos de este tipo de los cuales los niños son testigos presenciales, particularmente cuando la persona perjudicada es un ser querido.
