HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE: See the insert in the Bulletin REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK: “Don’t be afraid Mary” Luke 1:30 Texting is new to me, but I’m learning the acronyms. BFF: Best Friend Forever, or LOL: Laugh Out Loud. In honor of Mary, I’ve come up with an acronym to help turn painful, fearful, or troublesome situations around -TGIF: Take God Inside First. Mary did. TGIF encapsulates a life centered upon God, a life that says, I’m going to take God inside first; everything else in my life will be secondary.” When life throws a curve ball – bad news from the doctor, a broken relationship, a pile of unpaid bills, a sudden death – make sure God’s on speed dial. Turn it over to him, share your feelings, and don’t hold back. Then patiently wait as he pulls all the pieces together. Be prepared for the doors God is going to open. Even when life’s tough, TGIF: Take God Inside First. Invite him in. He’ll pick up the pieces and use them to make something beautiful. Say: Jesus, come inside my life. I won’t hold anything back, and I’ll turn it all over to you. I promise. Amen.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
First Reading: Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a In seeking a King for the Israelites, Samuel traveled to Jesse of Bethlehem, who had seven sons. Commanded by God to ignore the elder sons, Samuel anointed the youngest, David. Second Reading: Romans Ephesians 5:8-14 Paul exhorts the Ephesians to live as “children of light” in goodness and truth and to avoid evil deeds “done in darkness.” Gospel: John 9:1-41 Jesus performs the miracle of giving sight to the man born blind. Because Jesus performed this miracle on the Sabbath, the Pharisees called him a “sinner,” but the blind man said, “He is a prophet.” Jesus later reveals to the blind man that He is the Son of Man.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA Igual que con la samaritana, Jesús asume una vez más el nombre divino: “Yo soy la luz del mundo”. Para el ciego de nacimiento, sin embargo, Jesús es al principio sencillamente “el hombre que se llama Jesús”. Pero, igual que sucedió con la samaritana, algo va sucediendo progresivamente en el hombre ciego, que bajo interrogación ahora dice que Jesús “es un profeta”. Y finalmente cuando Jesús lo encuentra, así como también lo encuentra la fe, declara: “Creo, Señor”. Pero más allá de algo espiritual, también ocurre algo a nivel físico: Jesús busca al hombre y lo encuentra fuera del templo, de donde las autoridades religiosas lo han echado. Simultáneamente ocurre algo opuesto. Los videntes religiosos, que observaban la ley, no experimentan progreso sino regresión. Adhiriéndose a la teoría de los discípulos, que Jesús rechazaba, esto es, que el pecado causó la ceguera del hombre, estos líderes religiosos lanzaban insultos pretensiosos como “Tú eres puro pecado desde que naciste, ¿cómo pretendes darnos lecciones?” A diferencia del que una vez fuera ciego y que ellos habían echado fuera, estos devotos espiritualmente ciegos se quedan adentro en la seguridad del templo, pero se quedan fuera de la luz, que es el reconocimiento de Jesús como el Señor: “Si estuvieran ciegos, no tendrían pecado; pero como dicen que ven, siguen en su pecado”. “El hombre se fija en las apariencias, pero el Señor se fija en los corazones”. Que la Cuaresma no nos deje seguros y satisfechos de nosotros mismos, dentro de los templos de nuestra santurronería y desconocedores de que por juzgar a los demás nos hemos quedado encerrados en una ceguera espiritual. “Vivan (o caminen) como hijos de la luz”, nos urge san Pablo. Que nuestro “caminar” cuaresmal nos lance a buscar a Jesús, cuya luz alumbra a todos, y a ir en busca de aquellas personas que anhelan ver a Jesús como el Señor.
