Rosary prayed every Monday through Friday before the 8:00

WELCOME THE VISITING MADONNA
While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps
the next best thing we can do as the faithful is to
turn
to
the
Blessed
Mother
for
guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As
human beings, we can’t do everything. But the
Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do
wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate
prayer devotions in your own homes to all
parishioners so that every family may experience
visitation for one week from our Visiting
Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of peace,
quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with
Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If
you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting
Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email
him at [email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
Ed & Joan Vaitis at the 5:00 PM Mass.

Jesus’ earthly father and husband to the Blessed
Mother, St. Joseph is a model of fatherhood and
a protector of families.
We know little about him, but the Bible tells us he
was a “righteous man”.
(Matthew 1:19). He is the patron saint of a happy
death, because he died in the arms of Jesus and
Mary.

2. Once the present year’s mass book is filled with
intentions at OLSS, no OLSS requests will be accepted for
the next year until the new mass book is available (May
1st of each year).
3. If there are no open dates for intentions at OLSS, a
mass card for one of the following alternatives will be
provided:
● at Catholic Church of the Resurrection in Loris, SC,
for scheduled masses on Wednesday and Friday
evenings at 6:00 p.m.
● with one of our retired priests.
● at The Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Rock Hill, SC.
● at needy parishes throughout our diocese.
Our 2017 Mass Book will open on May 1, 2016

OLSS OUTREACH MINISTRY
Thank you for your continued support for OUR
LADY’S KITCHEN and our families in the Food
Distribution Program. Our need is still great. Many

strain on the family income this winter season.
Our Food Security program and Our Lady’s
Kitchen has been a real life support for the
families who struggle to make ends meet. Your
financial donations and food contributions
are our only means of support for this
growing need in the North Myrtle Beach
Communities.
These programs could not exist without You
Thank You
and May God Continue to Bless You.

QUINTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
.
"QUIEN ESTE SIN PECADO QUE TIRE LA PRIMERA
PIEDRA"
(San Juan 8,1-11).
Queridos Hermanos:
En Israel, en tiempos de Jesús, el adulterio era un delito público y era
una falta grave contra Dios. Este delito se castigaba con la pena de
muerte. Pero la tradición y las costumbres de la época hicieron de esta
ley, solamente una interpretación machista. Por ejemplo, si un hombre
casado, tenía relaciones sexuales con una mujer soltera, no era pecado
o falta, solo era adulterio para el hombre si tenía relaciones sexuales
con una mujer casada. En cambio; para la mujer casada, bastaba que tuviera relaciones sexuales con cualquier
hombre diferente a su marido, para ser sentenciada a la pena de muerte. Quien cometiera el pecado de adulterio
era apedreado por la comunidad hasta que muriera.
El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta a la mujer que fue sorprendida en adulterio. Por un lado están los
acusadores: escribas y fariseos quienes representan la "justicia". Por otro lado está Jesús, quien representa la
Gran Misericordia de Dios.
Veamos varios aspectos importantes en este Evangelio:
1. Jesús recibe a la mujer adúltera. Dios en vez de condenar al pecador, lo recibe y lo acoge para que se
rehabilite. Esta mujer pecadora, representa a cada uno de nosotros, quienes necesitamos ser acogidos por Dios
y perdonados por El. 2. Jesús llama a las cosas por su nombre. El llama pecado a lo que es pecado: "vete y
en adelante no vuelvas a pecar". Esto es de gran importancia, porque en la actualidad, se quiere quitar la
palabra pecado. Para muchos el pecado no existe. Jesús perdona a la mujer pecadora, pero la invita a no
volver a pecar. 3. Jesús les hace ver a los acusadores de aquella mujer, que también ellos son
pecadores: "Quien esté sin pecado que tire la primera piedra... Todos al escuchar estas palabras se fueron
retirando...". 4. Jesús no pone el pecado sexual como el pecado más terrible. Jesús siempre fue
misericordioso y comprensivo con todos. Pero fue más duro y exigente con la hipocresía e injusticia de los
fuertes y poderosos. Por eso; Jesús les dijo a los hipócritas que se creían puros y santos: "raza de víboras,
sepulcros blanqueados...". 5. La misericordia está siempre por encima de la justicia. Los acusadores de
aquella mujer, le niegan la posibilidad de cambiar, la posibilidad de conversión. En cambio; Jesús nos hace
entender, que una persona, por más mala y pecadora que sea, tiene la posibilidad de cambiar, tiene la
posibilidad de convertirse. Por lo tanto; Jesús no condena a esta mujer, sino que la recibe con cariño, le ofrece
su misericordia y la perdona.
Qué fácil es juzgar, criticar y condenar. Pero qué difícil es amar y perdonar.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a reconocernos siempre pecadores delante de Dios, y a
tener siempre compasión y misericordia con nuestros hermanos.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.
