STAY CONNECTED WITH US!

We come to know God through forgiveness. Today's first reading from Jeremiah tells of God’s covenant with the house of Israel. God assures the people that they will no longer have to teach their friends and relatives how to know the Lord. That relationship, God says, is built through mercy. “All, from least to greatest, shall know me, says the Lord, for I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sin no more. “In these waning days of Lent, we too are called to open our hearts to God's forgiveness.

 

Jeremiah tells of God’s decision to “place my law within (the people) and write it upon their hearts” during a time of deep despair. The prophet wrote at the beginning of the sixth century BCE, when the Israelites carried great anxiety over the looming fall of Jerusalem and Babylonian exile. It seemed their God was nowhere to be found in the face of such suffering. Yet Jeremiah insists “the days are coming” when God will breathe new life into the people. God will not just write the new covenant in stone, but rather on the very hearts of people. Here God will make an intimate promise: “I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

 

Now is the time to remember the new covenant etched in our hearts through the waters of baptism and affirmed in the Eucharist. Christ Jesus, through his suffering, death, and resurrection, draws us into the hope of eternal life. 




DEACON TOM



Llegamos a conocer a Dios a través del perdón. La primera lectura de Jeremías de hoy habla del pacto de Dios con la casa de Israel. Dios asegura al pueblo que ya no tendrán que enseñar a sus amigos y familiares cómo conocer al Señor. Esa relación, dice Dios, se construye a través de la misericordia. “Todos, desde el menor hasta el mayor, me conocerán, dice el Señor, porque yo perdonaré su maldad y no me acordaré más de su pecado. “En estos últimos días de Cuaresma, también nosotros estamos llamados a abrir nuestro corazón al perdón de Dios.


Jeremías habla de la decisión de Dios de “poner mi ley dentro (del pueblo) y escribirla en sus corazones” durante un tiempo de profunda desesperación. El profeta escribió a principios del siglo VI a. C., cuando los israelitas sentían gran ansiedad por la inminente caída de Jerusalén y el exilio babilónico. Parecía que su Dios no se encontraba por ningún lado ante tal sufrimiento. Sin embargo, Jeremías insiste en que “vienen días” en que Dios infundirá nueva vida al pueblo. Dios no sólo escribirá el nuevo pacto en piedra, sino en los corazones mismos de las personas. Aquí Dios hará una promesa íntima: “Yo seré su Dios, y ellos serán mi pueblo”.


Ahora es el momento de recordar la nueva alianza grabada en nuestros corazones a través de las aguas del bautismo y afirmada en la Eucaristía. Cristo Jesús, a través de su sufrimiento, muerte y resurrección, nos atrae a la esperanza de la vida eterna.

A Prayer to the Blessed Virgin,

 Our Lady of Mt. Carmel


O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God,

Immaculate Virgin, assist me this my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother.  O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart, to succor me in this necessity; there are none that can withstand your power.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times)

Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times)

Amen.

Oración a la Santísima Virgen,

Nuestra  Señora del Monte Carmelo


Oh, flor más hermosa del Monte Carmelo, vid fecunda, esplendor del cielo, madre bendita del hijo de Dios, virgen inmaculada: ayúdame en mi necesidad. Oh estrella del mar, ayúdame y muéstrame, aquí tienes a mi madre.

Oh, santa María, madre de Dios, reina del cielo y de la tierra: te suplico humildemente desde el fondo de mi corazón que me socorras en esta necesidad. No hay ninguno que pueda resistir tu poder.

Oh María, concebida sin pecado, ruega por nosotros que recurrimos a ti.  (3 veces)

Santa madre, pongo esta causa en tus manos. (3 veces)

Amén.
