“Who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it!” … Pope Francis I was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 17, 1936. He is the son of Italian immigrants, and has four brothers and sisters. His father was a railway worker. He entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1958 and was ordained a priest in 1969. He served as Provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina from 1973 to 1980, and then Rector of the Theological Faculty of San Miguel until 1986. Having been Auxiliary Bishop already, he became Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was elevated to Cardinal in Feb-ruary 2001 by Pope John Paul II. ... Saint Patrick is the Apostle of Ireland and patron of both Ireland and Nigeria. He was born in Eng-land in 389, to Calpurnius, a Roman soldier.

In 411 he escaped to Europe, where he studied for the priesthood and was ordained in 417. In 432, he was sent to Ireland as a missionary Bishop. ... During his 29 years in Ireland, Patrick encour-aged scholarship and learning.. His prayer, “Saint Patrick’s Breastplate”, ‘Christ be with me, Christ before me …’ is widely acclaimed.

AQUEL DE USTEDES QUE NO TENGA PECADO, QUE TIRE LA PRIMERA PIEDRA

La liturgia de hoy continúa el mensaje de perdón y reconciliación que escuchamos la semana pasada. La Iglesia parece estar haciendo todo lo posible para comunicarnos un solo mensaje: “¡Tus pecados son perdonados!” ¡Qué gran buena nueva! Isaías declara que la

acción salvadora de Dios por nosotros no es algo que ocurrió en el pasado, sino que acontece aquí y ahora. Pablo nos urge a reconocer que la verdadera vida no se “gana” obedeciendo leyes, no importa cuán estrictamente lo hagamos, sino que es un regalo gratuito de Dios. Así, deberemos enfocarnos en el futuro, no en las faltas del pasado. Nuestra mirada deberá estar fija en el premio de toda una vida eterna con Dios. En el Evangelio, Jesús es retado a demostrar que él obedece la ley, pero él sabe que es una trampa. Si su consejo es que se dé misericordia, lo declararán enemigo de la ley. Si sigue la ley y excusa el castigo, lo denunciarán como un incitador al homicidio. Jesús no se decide por ninguna de esas opciones. Lo que hace es que invierte la situación e invita a la multitud para que abandonen la “legalidad” y practiquen el perdón y la reconciliación.

SEMANA SANTA

Artesanos preparan alfombras de flores y plumas de Quetzal en Guatemala para las fiestas de esta semana

santa. Grupos de fieles practican su papel de personaje judío o romano pa-ra los vía crucis en México, Texas, Chicago y tantos lugares más. F r a t e r n i d a d e s p e n i t e n c i a l e s e s t á n preparándose espiritualmente para cargar con imágenes

sagradas y pesadas por calles españolas. Muchos más están preparando sus maletas para irse a la playa o las montañas donde, probablemente, nunca recordaran el nombre de Jesús. Estos últimos se perderán las liturgias más significativas de nuestra fe cristiana; ritos llenos de movimiento desde afuera de la Iglesia hasta adentro. Están llenos de símbolos que nos llaman a la verdad de la existencia cristiana y humana: somos personas paradójicas. Comenzamos entre los hosannas del Domingo de Ramos, pasamos por las dolorosas imágenes del Viernes Santo y terminamos entre juegos de oscuridad, fuego y agua en la Vigilia Pascual. Muchas veces honramos al Señor y tantas veces lo negamos, pero él nunca deja de llamarnos. En fin nos recuerda que la condición humana es sagrada y profana a la vez.
