A little background on this strange passage might help. Way back in the time <strong>of</strong> the Israelite sojourn in the desert, the Hebrews<br />
suffered all the trials <strong>of</strong> desert life. They were hungry and thirsty, and the daily manna was so monotonous that they cried out to God,<br />
saying We detest this miserable food! God then added to their misery by “sending” snakes to bite them! Yikes.<br />
They repented <strong>of</strong> their rebelliousness and asked God to forgive them and take the snakes away. And here’s what’s fascinating:<br />
God’s cure for the “snake-bit Hebrews” was for Moses to mount a bronze serpent on a pole and have them gaze on it. And those who<br />
had been bitten were cured (Numbers 21:4-9). Huh.<br />
We’re right in the middle <strong>of</strong> Lent now, and the struggle with our own hungers and thirsts is in full gear. Might we take inspiration<br />
from Moses, and look straight into the heart <strong>of</strong> that which has wounded us so badly in our lives? Can we ask for the grace to gaze on<br />
our wounds? The jobs we’ve lost, the deaths we’ve grieved, the gifts we’ve squandered, the children who’ve struggled with addictions<br />
and loss <strong>of</strong> faith—Jesus asks us to look on them, and then look on Him, raised up on the cross. Here, oh Israel is your true healer. Gaze<br />
on him. Trust that he can take you the rest <strong>of</strong> the way, through this Lent and every wilderness ahead.<br />
Kathy McGovern c. 2012<br />
What wounds are you avoiding naming?<br />

“For everyone who does wicked things hates the<br />
light and does not come toward the light, so that his<br />
works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the<br />
truth comes to the light, so that his works may be<br />
clearly seen as done in God.” - Jn 3:20-21<br />

PALM<br />
Fr Marty and the <strong>Queen</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> Finance Council are launching the PALM program. PALM stands for Parish Alms for Lenten<br />
Maintenance. Between ro<strong>of</strong> repairs, parking lot repairs, and stained glass window repairs we have a need to raise over $100,000. So<br />
the Finance Council, with the full knowledge and support <strong>of</strong> Fr Marty, has approved a second collection for all remaining Saturday’s<br />
and Sunday’s through Easter. The money will be used strictly for the repair <strong>of</strong> our aging/leaking ro<strong>of</strong>s, deteriorating parking lots and<br />
damaged stained glass windows. While we understand that the economy is still struggling and that many <strong>of</strong> you are struggling<br />
financially as well, we ask that you be as generous as possible. You will know it is the second collection by the purple baskets the<br />
ushers will be sending around. After Easter we will let you know the results.<br />

Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma<br />
“Así como Moisés levantó a la serpiente en el desierto, así será levantado el Hijo de Hombre,<br />
para que todo aquel que crea en el tenga vida eterna.”<br />
Tal vez una referencia a este extraño pasaje pueda ayudar. Hace muchos años, en los tiempos de la estancia<br />
de los israelitas en el desierto. Estos se encontraban hambrientos y con sed, y el diario mana resultaba tan<br />
monótono que gritaban a Dios diciendo, ¡Detestamos esta comida miserable! Entonces, Dios aumentó su miseria<br />
al “enviar” ¡serpientes que los mordieran! Uff.<br />
Los israelitas se arrepintieron de sus rebelión y pidieron a Dios perdón para que se llevara las serpientes. Y he<br />
aquí algo que resulta realmente fascinante: La cura que Dios envió para la “mordedura de serpiente a los<br />
Hebreos”, fue que Moisés montara una serpiente de bronce a un poste para que la miraran fijamente. Y, aquellos<br />
que habían sido mordidos por las serpientes, quedaron sanados (Números 21:4-19). ¡Huy!<br />
Nos encontramos ahora a mitad de la Cuaresma, y la lucha con nuestra propia hambre y sed están en pleno<br />
apogeo. ¿Podríamos tomar ejemplo de Moisés, y mirar directo al corazón de aquello que nos ha herido tan<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>undamente en nuestras vidas? ¿Podemos acaso pedir por la gracia de mirar los desgarradores episodios<br />
de nuestro pasado? Los empleos que hemos perdido, las muertes que hemos llorado, los dones que hemos<br />
malgastado, los niños que han luchado con adicciones y pérdida de fe- Jesús nos pide que veamos todo esto y<br />
después le miremos a El, elevado en la cruz.<br />
He aquí, ¡hoy, Israel¡ tu verdadero sanador. Mírale fijamente. Confía en que Él te puede llevar hasta el final<br />
del camino, a través de esta Cuaresma y de cualquier desierto que te puedas encontrar.<br />

REPARACIONES EN NUESTRA PARROQUIA<br />
El Padre Marty y el Consejo de Finanzas de <strong>Queen</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> están llevando acabo una misión durante esta Cuaresma, para ayudar con las<br />
diferentes reparaciones de nuestra iglesia. Con reparaciones de techos, estacionamiento, y los ventanales, tenemos la necesidad de recaudar<br />
más de $100.000. Así que, el Consejo de Finanzas con el pleno conocimiento y apoyo del Padre Marty, se ha aprobado una segunda colecta<br />
por el resto de la Cuaresma, en sábado y domingo, hasta el Domingo de Resurrección. El dinero será utilizado exclusivamente para la reparación<br />
de nuestro techo viejo y con goteras, el deterioro de los estacionamientos y las vidrieras de colores. Entendemos que la economía todavía<br />
está mal y que muchos de ustedes están teniendo dificultades con sus finanzas, pero le pedimos que sea lo más generoso posible. La<br />
segunda colecta se esta llevando acabo al final de la Misa, usando unas canastas moradas. Después de la Semana Santa le haremos saber los<br />
resultados.<br />
¡GRACIAS!<br />
Gracias a todos los que han participado en esta segunda colecta para las reparaciones de la parroquia. Durante las primeras 2 semanas<br />
hemos recaudado poco menos de $30.000. ¡Gracias!

ADORACIÓN AL<br />
SANTÍSIMO SACRAMENTO<br />
Expuesto de Lunes a Viernes<br />
6:15 am - 10:00 pm<br />
Nuestra intención de Adoración como<br />
Parroquia es:<br />
“Que en este tiempo de Cuaresma, caminemos con Jesús<br />
hacia el sacrificio de la cruz ”<br />
4º Domingo de Cuaresma<br />
Si ponemos atención, Nicodemo vino a Jesús por la<br />
noche. La oscuridad provee el cubrimiento de acciones que<br />
no deseamos que se conozcan. Éstas pueden ser buenas o<br />
malas. Algunos salmos nos indican que la noche es también<br />
un tiempo propicio para estudiar las Escrituras. Puede<br />
ser un tiempo cuando el Señor "me instruye internamente"<br />
(Sal 15, 7) o cuando Dios nos visita a nosotros (Sal 16,<br />
3). La noche también nos brinda tiempo para reponer fuerzas:<br />
nos ayuda a descansar. Pero debemos recordar que el<br />
Evangelio de Juan nos dice en su primer capítulo. La luz -<br />
una luz para toda la gente- brilla en las tinieblas (Jn 1, 4-<br />
5). ¿Cuál es la parte oscura de nuestra vida donde debe<br />
brillar la luz?<br />
El Evangelio de hoy nos alerta que es mejor escoger la<br />
luz a las tinieblas. Todos sabemos que esta decisión es<br />
muy difícil de llevar a cabo en la realidad, ya que algunas<br />
personas preferimos vivir en la oscuridad. Jesús contrasta<br />
estas dos formas. La luz brilla en aquellas personas que<br />
están comprometidas a que destaque la verdad, donde se<br />
ve claramente que Dios actúa en sus acciones. El Evangelio<br />
nos indica que no debe de existir cabida para que sigamos<br />
haciendo cosas en la oscuridad, ya que debemos de<br />
vivir trabajando siempre por el bien. Nicodemo lo entendió<br />
después del diálogo con Jesús. ¿Lo entendemos nosotros<br />
ahora? La experiencia nos dice que todos escondemos circunstancias<br />
oscuras de nuestra vida y que al mismo tiempo<br />
llevamos dentro una chispa de la luz divina que nos urge a<br />
caminar en la verdad. Eso descubrió Nicodemo: ¡la luz<br />
misma es Jesús!<br />
