Reflections ~ Reflexiones GGoossppeell:: MMaarrkk 11::1122––1155

Can you imagine a movie scene illustrating the first part of today's Gospel passage? Jesus is out in the desert, where he is put to the test, or tempted, by Satan. But he is also surrounded by wild beasts and angel attendants. It must have been an interesting forty days Jesus spent preparing to proclaim the good news. "The kingdom of God is at hand," he announced in Galilee, and he called people to get ready for God's reign by reforming their lives. Lent can be like a new day dawning--just like the one Noah and his family experienced when the flood was over. It is a time for a fresh beginning and a renewal of our covenant to live as God's people. In what ways do you want Lent to be a new beginning in your life as a Christian? What will you do to work toward these goals? Who or what might help you to experience Lent as "a new day dawning"?

EEvvaannggeelliioo:: MMaarrccooss 11::1122--1155 ¿Puedes imaginar una escena de una película ilustrando la primera parte de la historia del evangelio de hoy? Jesús está en el desierto donde fue tentado por Satanás. También está rodeado de bestias salvajes y ángeles. Debieron ser cuarenta días muy interesantes los que pasó Jesús preparándose para ir a predicar la Buena Nueva. "El Reino de Dios está cerca", anunció en Galilea y llamó al pueblo a prepararse para el Reino de Dios reformando sus vidas. La Cuaresma puede ser como un nuevo día para nosotros, lo mismo que fue para Noé y su familia cuando terminó el diluvio. Es tiempo para un nuevo inicio y renovación de nuestra alianza de vivir como pueblo de Dios. ¿En qué formas quieres que la Cuaresma sea un nuevo inicio en tu vida como cristiano? ¿Qué harás para trabajar para alcanzar esas metas? ¿Quién o qué puede ayudarte a experimentar la Cuaresma como "un nuevo día"?

Treasures from our Traditions ~ Tradiciones de nuestra Fe By the First Sunday of Lent, many people have given up on “giving up.” Yet experiencing hunger for favorite things is a sign of a desire to face our deepest hungers. We do not embrace fasting as individuals, but rather as the community’s way of life in this season. Sometimes it helps to see Sunday as an oasis in the Lenten desert, a place where fasting is not as strictly observed. If we count the days of the Lenten calendar, starting backward from the end of Lent on Holy Thursday, it is difficult to measure the forty days. Many are surprised to learn that the Sundays are counted as part of Lent, but are not counted in tallying the forty days of the Lenten fast. For that, we count the fast backward into last week, beginning on Ash Wednesday. So, until today we have been in the Lenten fast, days that function as a kind of overture to a symphony of conversion. Today Lent solemnly begins, marked in many places by the sending of catechumens and candidates to the bishop for the call to the Easter sacraments. Tomorrow with them, we embrace the Lenten fast again. Today we are exactly forty days from the opening of the Paschal Triduum on Holy Thursday. —Rev. James Field, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ.. SS.. PPaalluucchh CCoo..

Regresando a los tres pilares de la conversión, el ayuno es mucho más que el simple hecho de no comer, es aprender a negarme a mí mismo para que ya no sea yo quien vivo, sino Cristo que vive en mí. Es el negarme de ciertas cosas para dar vida a los demás. El ayudar es poner en práctica la caridad y la justicia social. Es buscar el cargar con nuestra propia cruz y ayudar a los demás con la de ellos. En otras palabras, es practicar la misma generosidad de Dios quien hace caer la lluvia sobre los buenos y los malos, es amar sin distinción de personas. Contemporáneamente, el orar es entrar en conversación con Dios, es recogerse para entrar en la presencia de Dios, con todo lo que uno es y todo le que uno tiene, poniendo todo en las manos misericordiosas del Padre que nos ama. Esta cuaresma procuremos hacer lo que debemos hacer todo el año: ayunar, ayudar y orar. Es difícil, pero no nos desanimemos porque el Espíritu Santo viene a nuestro alcance porque donde somos más débiles, Cristo es nuestra fuerza. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ..

Today’s readings suggest two different meanings and experiences of baptism. The second reading (from 1 Peter) makes an analogy between Noah’s ark and Christian baptism: just as Noah and his family were saved from death by going through the waters of the flood in the ark, Christians are saved from sin and death by going through the waters of baptism. The first reading, from Genesis, portrays the world after the flood: washed clean of its prior wickedness, embraced by God’s promises that the world will never again be destroyed by water. The psalmist expresses a desire to follow the ways of God, as if re-establishing the harmony between God and humanity destroyed by sin. This peaceful scene is very different from the drama and urgency in Mark’s description of Jesus after his baptism. Jesus battles demons, receives sustenance from angels, and begins preaching: “Repent. The kingdom of God is at hand.” CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ.. SS.. PPaalluucchh CCoo..,, IInncc..

RREEPPEENNTT AANNDD BBEELLIIEEVVEE IINN TTHHEE GGOOSSPPEELL

Lent is the time of year we devote to scrutinizing our lives in the light of our baptism into the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today’s readings are a nice shorthand catechism of what our baptized lives mean. As Noah passed through the waters of the flood to a covenant with God, so did we enter into a covenant, a promised relationship with God through our baptism. Peter’s letter gives an explicit explanation of what our baptism means: it is an appeal we make to God for a clear conscience. How do we obtain this clear conscience? The words proclaimed by Jesus immediately following his temptation show us the way: “Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). It might be a good spiritual exercise to keep these readings before us throughout the entire season of Lent, a means to help us return to a life lived by our baptismal promises.

FFEEAASSTT OOFF FFAAIITTHH Seasonal Changes for the Liturgies

of Lent Today is the First Sunday of Lent. During this season of preparation for Easter, our churches look stark and simple—no flowers at the altar, no festive banners or decorations. And our liturgies feel different, too. The organ is quiet except to accompany the singing of the assembly. The Gloria, our Sunday song of rejoicing, is not heard except on solemnities, and we will not sing the Alleluia, our joyful acclamation of praise, until the Easter Vigil. “Alleluia cannot always / Be our song while here below,” says an eleventh-century hymn. “Alleluia our transgressions / Make us for a while forego; / For the solemn time is coming / When our tears for sins must flow” (Alleluia dulce carmen, J. M. Neale, trans.). These changes in the liturgy will catch our attention, and make us eager for the festive outpouring of joy that will return with Easter. This year, may the stripped-away liturgies of Lent remind us to strip away what is not essential in our lives to make space for the crucified and risen One, and thus to be ready to sing “Alleluia” once again when Easter returns. —Corinna Laughlin, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ..

La Cuaresma es la época del año que dedicamos a examinar nuestras vidas a la luz de nuestro Bautismo en la muerte y Resurrección de Jesús. Las lecturas de hoy son un catecismo abreviado de lo que significa estar bautizados. Como Noé pasó por las aguas del diluvio a una alianza con Dios, así también nosotros entramos en una alianza, una relación con Dios, mediante nuestro Bautismo. La carta de Pedro da una explicación explícita de lo que nuestro Bautismo significa: un llamamiento que hacemos a Dios para que nos dé una conciencia tranquila. ¿Cómo podemos obtener esta conciencia tranquila? Las palabras proclamadas por Jesús inmediatamente después de su tentación nos muestran cómo: “Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio” (Marcos 1:15). Podría ser un buen ejercicio espiritual mantener estas lecturas ante nosotros durante todo el tiempo de Cuaresma, un medio que nos ayude a volver a una vida vivida por las promesas bautismales.

FFIIEESSTTAA DDEE LLAA FFEE Estar sentados en la liturgia

Nos sentamos en la liturgia no porque no haya nada que hacer o para ‘salir de la celebración’, sino para escuchar a Dios mismo que nos dirige su palabra, o bien, que se nos revela en el silencio posterior a la sagrada comunión. Al sentarnos nos disponemos para entrar en un diálogo con el Señor, mediante su palabra que nos es proclamada; disponemos todo nuestro ser para escuchar la historia de amor entre Dios y el pueblo, siendo conscientes o no, de que ese pueblo somos nosotros mismos, de que esa historia es nuestra historia. Escuchamos una historia que no siempre será nueva en el relato mismo, pero sí en el efecto que este relato tiene en nuestra vida actual. La homilía, como momento de diálogo entre las lecturas y la vida diaria, nos brinda esa excelente oportunidad de entender qué es lo que Dios quiere de nosotros a raíz de lo que hemos escuchado. Así pues, estar sentados en la asamblea no es una actitud pasiva, sino receptiva, de quien se dispone totalmente a acoger la palabra de Dios que le es comunicada. Esta acción, realizada por cada persona, debe ser un movimiento de toda la asamblea, que en la medida de lo posible, rompe el aspecto mecánico y da intencionalidad y plenitud a esta acción tan particular de disponerse a la voz del Señor que su siervo escucha (1 Samuel 3:10). —Miguel Arias, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ..
