From the Office of Fr. Andrew

Lent is a 40-day solemn Christian season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, starting on Ash Wednesday and ending before Easter. It commemorates Jesus Christ's 40 days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness, serving as a time for self-examination, repentance, and spiritual renewal in preparation for the Resurrection.

The Three Pillars:
The season emphasizes three main practices:
- Prayer: Deepening one's relationship with God.
- Fasting: Practicing self-discipline and self-denial (often giving up luxuries).
- Almsgiving: Sharing resources and acts of service to the needy.
- Lent is observed by Catholic, Orthodox, and many Protestant denominations as a significant period of returning to God through sacrifice and reflection.
  5th Sunday of Lent — “Lazarus, Come Out of the Tomb”
  In today’s Gospel, we encounter a fascinating dialogue between Jesus and Martha. Shortly thereafter, we find Jesus standing before the tomb of his friend Lazarus. Lazarus has already been in the tomb for four days. His sister Martha remarks: “By now there will be a stench.” Deeply moved, Jesus pauses beside Lazarus’s tomb. He cries out: “Lazarus, come out of the tomb!”
  And we witness a great miracle. Lazarus is emerging from the tomb.
  Dear friends!
  The Bible tells us that it is possible—just like Lazarus—that you, too, are already living in a tomb. Therefore, Jesus’s command—“Lazarus, come out of the tomb!”—is an imperative for both you and me. What is it that keeps you “dead” today? Identify your “tomb”:
  The Tomb of Addictions.
  The litany of addictions is long—beginning with addiction to the Internet and computer games, and ending with pornography and alcoholism. Sometimes, a single addiction is enough to reduce a life to ruin.
  Addiction is dangerous because it can devour your time, your enthusiasm, and your energy. In today’s Gospel, Jesus reveals Himself as "the resurrection and the life." He invites you to step out of your own "tomb" of sin, selfishness, and mediocrity. It is a call to trust that the power of God can restore you to life—even when all seems lost, or when things "smell bad." Jesus sees your addictions, your fear, and your helplessness. Today, Jesus cries out to you—and to me: "Lazarus, come out of the tomb!"
  The Tomb of Habits (Routines).
  It is said that habit is second nature.
  Habit is dangerous: it kills every yearning—the yearning to travel, the yearning for a different job, the yearning for a new love or passion; habits kill the
  yearning to change and reshape one's life.
  You come to view life as uninteresting, gray, worthless, and boring. And you have allowed the stones of problems and worries to paralyze your soul, your spirit. Who will reawaken within you the poet, the artist, the magician of your childhood years? Where are those smiling, happy, loving eyes? A poet says: "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass... It is about learning to dance in the rain."
  Read books, limit your time on the internet, go to the gym, answer your letters, hug dogs, forgive, love.
  Dear one,
  There are so many things you need to change, set in order, accept, or modify. Lent is the perfect time to eliminate or heal addictions, routines, and habits that “smell bad.” When you feel that your life is too complicated, boring, or stagnant, this cry from Jesus in today’s Gospel is for you: “Lazarus, come out of the tomb.”

5 Domingo de Cuaresma - “Lazaro, sal de la tumba”

En el Evangelio de hoy, tenemos un diálogo fascinante entre Jesús y Marta. Poco después, nos encontramos con Jesús ante la tumba de su amigo Lázaro. Lázaro lleva ya cuatro días en la tumba. Su hermana Marta dice: «ya huele mal». Profundamente conmovido Jesús se detiene junto a la tumba de Lázaro. Grita: «¡Lázaro, sal de la tumba!».

Y estamos testigos de gran milagro. Lázaro está saliendo de la tumba.

Queridos!

La Biblia dice que es posible que, como Lazaro, ya estas viviendo en una tumba. Por eso, el mandato de Jesús, "¡Lázaro, sal de la tumba", es un imperativo para mi y para ti.¿Qué es lo que hoy te mantiene "muerto"? Identifica tu "tumba":

La tumba de las adicciones.

La letanía de las adicciones es larga. Empezando con adicción a Internet, juegos de computadora y terminando con la pornografía y alcoholismo. A veces, una sola adicción es suficiente para convertir la vida en la ruina.

La adición es peligrosa porque puede devoran tu tiempo, tu entusiasmo y tu energía. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se revela como "la resurrección y la vida", Te invita a salir de tu propia "tumba" de pecado, egoísmo y mediocridad. Es un llamado a confiar en que, el poder de Dios puede devolverte a la vida. Incluso cuando todo parece perdido, o "huele mal”. Jesús ve tus adicciones, tu miedo y tu impotencia., Hoy Jesús grita a ti; a mí: «¡Lázaro, sal de la tumba!»

La tumba de abitos (rutinas).

Se dice, que el hábito es una segunda naturaleza.

El hábito es peligroso: mata todo anhelo —el anhelo de viajar, el anhelo de un trabajo diferente, anhelo de un nuevo amor o pasión, los hábitos matan el

anhelo cambiar y reformar la vida.

Ves la vida como poco interesante, gris, sin valor, aburrida. Y has permitido que piedras de problemas y preocupaciones paralizaron tu alma, tu espíritu. ¿Quién despertará de nuevo en ti al poeta, al artista, al mago de tus años de infancia? ¿Dónde están esos ojos sonrientes, felices, amorosos? Poeta dice: “«La vida no consiste en esperar a que pase la tormenta... Consiste en aprender a bailar bajo la lluvia».

Lee los libros, limita internet, visita al gimnasio, responde a las cartas, abraza a los perros, perdona, ama.

Querido,

Tantas cosas tienes que cambiar, poner en orden, aceptar o modificar. La Cuaresma es el tiempo perfecto para eliminar o curar las adiciones, rutinas, los hábito cuales “huelen mal”. Cuando piensas, que tu vida es demasiado complicada, aburrida o estancada este grito de Jesus del Evangelio de hoy es para ti: “Lazaro, sal de la tumba”.
