Strong words come from Saint Paul in today’s second reading. He reveals in no uncertain terms that life in Christ is our goal. Everything else, he maintains, is “rubbish.” Junk. Trash. Garbage. Is that true? Is everything else “rubbish” compared to deepening our relationship with the Lord? What about putting recreational activities ahead of attending Mass? Or preferring uninterrupted hours playing the latest video games or watching TV to spending time in a bible study group, choir practice or serving in a soup kitchen? Or keeping late hours at work over sharing the gospel with friends and neighbors? To what extent do we exercise stewardship over our relationship with Christ?

NADIE ESTÁ SIN PECADO Pecado no es una palabra que usemos en nuestra cultura actual. Sin embargo, debemos ser honestos y reconocer que hemos pecado. De otra manera, nos convertimos como las personas con una enfermedad que está negando sus implicaciones, no podemos esperar a ser sanados a menos que admitamos que existe. El pecado es una enfermedad del alma, una enfermedad en nuestra relación con Dios. Cuando pecamos, fallamos en llevar una vida como Dios desea. La verdad es, nadie está sin pecado. Todos fallamos. Podemos tener momentos de una unión intensa con Dios y vivir como sabemos deberíamos. Pero también algunas veces fallamos en el objetivo. Apuntamos hacia la paja en el ojo ajeno y fallamos en ver la viga en el nuestro.

La respuesta de Jesús a los escribas y fariseos es clara en este relato: Aquel de ustedes que no tenga pecado, que le tire la primera piedra . LA MISERICORDIA DE DIOS ES PARA TODOS La mala noticia es que todos pecamos. La novedad es que la misericordia de Dios está disponible, siempre, todo el tiempo. Debemos arrepentirnos de nuestras fallas, y si nuestros pecados son graves, entonces debemos ir a confesarnos, recibir el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. El encuentro de Jesús con la mujer en el Evangelio de hoy, así como con las muchas personas a lo largo de su ministerio terrenal, representa una prueba de que Dios es misericordioso y compasivo. Al continuar el camino durante este tiempo de Cuaresma, nos haría bien tomar un descanso y reflexionar en nuestra relación con Cristo y en la misericordia infinita de Dios.

From the Diocese

This past week, Bishop McGrath, Bishop Cantú, and the Diocese of San Jose released the updated disclosure list of the clergy with credible allegations of sexual abuse of children. The Diocese added one name to its original list and added two new sections as part of its commitment to transparency and accountability to assist in the process of reconciliation and healing for victims/survivors. .

The first new section includes Non-Diocesan Clergy who ministered within the Diocese of San Jose’s territory (Santa Clara County) and received a credible allegation of sexual abuse of children, which occurred elsewhere or in a non-Diocesan institution or ministry in Santa Clara County. The other new section lists all Non-Diocesan Clergy who ever resided at a religious order’s seminary, retreat house or retirement home, located within Santa Clara County and have received a credible allegation of sexual abuse of children, which occurred elsewhere. These allegations in both of the new sections were not investigated by the Diocese of San Jose, but have been confirmed by the cleric’s Religious Order, Arch/diocese, or civil authorities. These additional names are the result of recent disclosures by other arch/dioceses and religious orders as well as an independent review of our clergy files that was undertaken by Kinsale Management Consulting beginning in November 2018. “With this updated list, the Diocese acknowledges and expresses our sorrow over the failings of the past and the damage done,” said Bishop McGrath. “I hope that this list demonstrates our commitment to do everything in the Diocese of San Jose’s power to confront the evil of clergy sexual abuse, to support and help victims, and to prevent abuse from happening in the future.” Both Bishops personally encouraged other victims/survivors to come forward. Anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse by anyone working on behalf of the Church is urged to contact civil authorities (police department or sheriff’s office) and then to contact the Office for the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults at 408-983-0113 or opcva.ethicspoint.com.
