H ol y C ros s C a t hol i c C hu r c h “A community of disciples of Jesus Christ called to celebrate, proclaim, and share the love of God with all people.” March 4, 2018 Third Sunday of Lent
Good Lenten People of Holy Cross,
Here’s a typical conversation:
Hi! How are you?
Answer: Fine. How are you?
Answer: Fine.
Don’t you just love that ‘Fine’? Do you notice, when people
say something other than fine, we don’t want to listen. We ask
how someone “is” shouldn’t we be honest? And, even more
important, shouldn’t we listen if the answer is not “fine”?
Somebody pushes the question a little further: “Hey, what’s
been happening with you?” Our response: tell that person
everything that has been going right with us as if we have to
impress everyone with how “fine” we really are.
Me? I’m not “fine” and I don’t want to be. I’m “in process”.
Some days are better than others. I make tons of mistakes.
I’m a sinner. God isn’t finished with me yet, nor am I finished
with God. Jesus spends a lot of time with sinners, and I want to
spend time with Jesus precisely because of that fact! Jesus
calls sinners to repentance; to “turn life around”, to look with
different eyes, to check our perspective, to be open to
possibilities, to be going through the hard process of picking up
a cross and dying to self, so that there’s more of Jesus left
when it’s over. Nope ~ “I’m not fine, I’m ‘in process.” I’m
working in this life to be justified, so that when I get to see God
face to face I will be saved. Right now I’m a sinner stumbling
after Jesus. And you know what? That’s a great place to
be. It’s not neat and nice and “fine.” Sometimes it hurts, and
often times it’s messy. But along the way, Jesus gives grace,
step by step, moment by moment, person by person. Nope.
Not “fine” at all. Just forgiven.
May your conversations with Jesus this Lent bring your heart
much joy.
Fr. Jude Michael

RENOVATION UPDATES Thank you for being so understanding!
Confessions will still be heard in the confessionals. You may still pray and light candles in our Saints corner. NO ONE is to enter church during the week, danger area! Our PB and spaghetti collection is in hallway leading to school. Concrete poured this week as well as iron works installed. Please be mindful of workers/dumpster and do not park and block possible ER vehicles. We are working on sound system.
Buena Gente de Holy Cross,
Esta es una conversación típica:
¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? Respuesta: Bien, ¿y tú? Respuesta: Bien.
¿No te encanta ese "Bien"? ¿Te das cuenta que cuando las personas dicen algo diferente a ese 'bien', no queremos escuchar? Preguntar cómo "está" alguien no debería ser ¿honesto? Y, lo que es más importante, ¿no deberíamos escuchar si la respuesta no es "bien"? Alguien lleva la pregunta un poco más allá: "Oye, que ha estado pasando ¿contigo? “Nuestra respuesta es: decir a esa persona todo lo que ha estado yendo bien con nosotros como si tuviéramos que impresionar a todos con lo "bueno" que realmente somos.
¿Yo? No estoy "bien" y no quiero estarlo. Estoy "en proceso". Algunos días son mejor que otros. cometo un montón de errores. Soy un pecador. Dios no ha terminado conmigo todavía, ni he terminado con Dios. Jesús pasa mucho tiempo con los pecadores, ¡y quiero pasar tiempo con Jesús precisamente por ese hecho! Jesús llama a los pecadores al arrepentimiento; para "darle un giro a la vida", mirar con ojos diferentes, verificar nuestra perspectiva, estar abierto a las posibilidades, estar atravesando el duro proceso de levantar una cruz y morir a sí mismo, para que quede más de Jesús cuando esto termine. No. "No estoy bien, estoy 'en proceso'. Estoy trabajando en esta vida para ser justificado, de modo que cuando llegue a ver a Dios cara a cara seré salvo. Ahora mismo soy un pecador tropezando detrás de Jesús. ¿Y sabes qué? Ese es un gran lugar para estar. No está pulcro, agradable y "bien". A veces duele, y muchas veces es desordenado. Pero en el camino, Jesús da gracia, paso a paso, momento a momento, persona por persona. Nop. No está "bien" en absoluto, solo perdonado. Que tus conversaciones con Jesús esta Cuaresma traigan a tu corazón mucha alegría.

oriented songs.

Carmel comes to us from the heart of Ireland’s Boyne Valley and her ministry is inspired by the

expression of the Celtic spirit through contemplative song, story, and ritual. We will metaphorically
walk the pilgrim journey of a Celtic Heart in the company of the Trinity, the angels, and the Irish
saints, St. Brigid and St. Patrick, while always with Christ as our intimate companion.

PRAY FOR PRIESTS
PRAY FOR PRIESTS A ministry of Holy Cross Parish
Pray daily for the priest assigned to that day.
O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your priests, especially
within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart,
where none may touch them.
Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body.
Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with Your Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood.
Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world’s contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant fruit and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful
and everlasting crown. Amen.
OREN POR LOS SACERDOTES Un ministerio de la Parroquia de Holy Cross
Oren diariamente por el sacerdote asignado a ese día.
O Jesús, Eterno Sacerdote, protege a tus sacerdotes, especialmente < nombre del sacerdote >
dentro de Tu Sagrado Corazón, donde nadie pueda tocarlos.
Mantiene sin mancha sus manos ungidas, que diariamente tocan Tu Santo Cuerpo.
Mantiene sin mancillar sus labios, todos los días con el color púrpura de Tu Preciosa
Sangre.
Mantiene puros y no mundanos sus corazones, sellados con la marca sublime del sacerdocio.
Deja que Tu Santo Amor los rodee y protégelos del virus del mundo.
Bendice sus labores con fruto abundante y permite que las almas a su cuidado sean su alegría y
consuelo aquí y en el cielo su bella y eterna corona. Amén.
