Jeider The readings from this weekend speak to us about the effects of kindness and love. Jesus is the love of God made flesh. He came out of love for love. He came to save us, to make us whole again, to make us holy. The love that Jesus commands, and that Jesus lives, is not a set of warm or fuzzy feelings. It is a profound willing of our good, and a selfless desire that we be who we are made to be.

9 The Lord tells the prophet Ezekiel that he will be held responsible for the death of the wicked if he does not speak out to dissuade him. In the Gospel, then, Jesus gives instructions on how we should correct those who sin against us; how to raise our voices against wickedness, speaking out and speaking up when we see others living apart from God. To do so is to love, and it is a commandment. Jesus makes it clear that we are not asked to do this from afar; for instance, from behind computer screens or behind backs, but one-on-one at first and always face to face. We are called to be present, to correct the one who has sinned against us in person. Finally, let us always keep in mind that in following the command to love one another in the ways just described, we can help others find the path toward life.

10 And Christ, who is present here in this sacrament, gives us the grace to do just that. Reverend Jeider Barraza Pastor Page 4 We have reopened the Church with a 5:00 PM Saturday Mass.

Communion will only be given in the hand. The Church will open at 4:30 PM and not before. Please use the front door entrance only.
