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

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

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

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

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