Readings For Next Sunday March 9
First Reading — The man and the woman ate the fruit of the one tree that God had told them to avoid, and their shame overtook them (Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7).Psalm — Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned (Psalm 51).
Second Reading — Death reigned from Adam to Moses, but now grace and life abound in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:12-19 [12, 17-19]).
Gospel — Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit and there he fasted for forty days and forty nights
(Matthew 4:1-11).
Dear Parishioners,
God Is A Loving Parent
Some scripture passages require a good deal of study before they yield their inner meaning. Not so with today’s Gospel, a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount. Here we have Jesus’ well-known sayings about God’s care for us. “No one can serve two masters” and “Look at the birds in the sky” have become idioms in our culture. Perhaps they have become too familiar. Jesus’ point is a simple one—if we keep our hearts set on the important things, God will take care of the rest. His use of simple images from nature—birds, flowers, grass— would have resonated just as deeply with his listeners then as they do today.
The brief passage from Isaiah, situated as it is in a longer section on the restoration of Zion, uses a wonderful feminine image to portray God’s care for us. Even more than a moth-er’s care for her own child is God’s attentiveness to our needs. Juxtaposed with the Gospel reading, an image of God as doting parent surfaces. No wonder St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians is more confident in the judgment of the Lord than in any human assessment! For those whose hearts are set on God’s priorities, the time of judgment can bring nothing but good.

Estimados Feligreses
Dios Es Un Padre Amoroso
Algunas partes de las Escrituras requieren de conocer ciertos antecedentes históricos, prácticas culturales, etc., para entender su mensaje. Pero eso no pasa con el texto del Evangelio de hoy, una continuación del Sermón de la Montaña. Aquí tenemos las frases de Jesús diciendo cómo Dios cuida de nosotros. Por ejemplo, las frases: “Nadie puede servir a dos amos” y “Miren las aves del cielo” se usan tan frecuente en nuestra cultura. Quizá son tan populares. Jesús enfatiza una cosa tan sencilla, si ponemos nuestro corazón en cosas importantes, Dios proveerá el resto. La forma cómo Jesús relaciona cosas de la naturaleza, pájaros, flores, hierba, hicieron eco en los oídos de quienes lo escucharon entonces y de quienes hoy lo escuchan.
El pasaje breve de Isaías, que está tomado de un texto más amplío que trata de la restauración de Sión, utiliza una imagen femenina para mostrar el cuidado de Dios por nosotros. Así como una madre cuida a su hijo, así de atento está Dios por nuestras necesidades. Juntando la historia del Evangelio, la imagen del amor paterno de Dios; no es de extrañarse que san Pablo en su carta a los corintios tiene más confianza en la forma cómo el Señor lo juzgara en lugar de los juicios humanos. Para aquellas personas que tienen puestas sus esperanzas en Dios, el tiempo del juicio lo único que puede traer son cosas buenas.

WHY IS IT A man wakes up after sleeping under an ADVERTISED blanket on an ADVERTISED mattress and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth with ADVERTISED toothpaste washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes drinks a cup of ADVERTISED coffee drives to work in an ADVERTISED car and then . . . . refuses to ADVERTISE believing it doesn’t pay. Later if business is poor he ADVERTISES it for sale.
