In reading the Gospel, we can review what the Cate-chism of the Catholic Church says about Jesus
430 Jesus means in Hebrew: "God saves." At the annuncia-tion, the angel Gabriel gave him the name Jesus as his prop-er name, which expresses both his identity and his mis-sion.18 Since God alone can forgive sins, it is God who, in Jesus his eternal Son made man, "will save his people from their sins".19 in Jesus, God recapitulates all of his history of salvation on behalf of men.
431 In the history of salvation God was not content to de-liver Israel "out of the house of bondage"20 by bringing them out of Egypt. He also saves them from their sin. Be-cause sin is always an offence against God, only he can for-give it.21 For this reason Israel, becoming more and more aware of the universality of sin, will no longer be able to seek salvation except by invoking the name of the Redeem-er God.22
432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the uni-versal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation,23 so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."24
433 The name of the Saviour God was invoked only once in the year by the high priest in atonement for the sins of Isra-el, after he had sprinkled the mercy seat in the Holy of Ho-lies with the sacrificial blood. the mercy seat was the place of God's presence.25 When St. Paul speaks of Jesus whom "God put forward as an expiation by his blood", he means that in Christ's humanity "God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself."26
434 Jesus' Resurrection glorifies the name of the Saviour God, for from that time on it is the name of Jesus that fully manifests the supreme power of the "name which is above every name".27 The evil spirits fear his name; in his name his disciples perform miracles, for the Father grants all they ask in this name.28
435 The name of Jesus is at the heart of Christian prayer. All liturgical prayers conclude with the words "through our Lord Jesus Christ". the Hail Mary reaches its high point in the words "blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." the Eastern prayer of the heart, the Jesus Prayer, says: "Lord
Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." Many Christians, such as St. Joan of Arc, have died with the one word "Jesus" on their lips.

A Holy Land Experience! Treat yourself or a loved one to an adventure of a lifetime–a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with a Catholic Bible scholar, historian, and New York Times best-selling author as your guide. Directed by Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio (known as “Dr. Italy” on Catholic radio and TV), the trip departs on April 16, 2018 and returns on April 26, 2018. This trip, with wonderful times of prayer, liturgy & music daily under the spiritual direction of Fr. Tim Nolt, promises to be a fascinating journey into a deeper life in Christ and richer understanding of the Bible. For more information online, visit www.goholyland.info or call Cyndi from the Crossroads Initiative at 214-882-7262. Act now--the remaining places are going fast!
St Charles and Our lady of the lake will be teaming up to have a parish festival which will be held next year. If you would like to lead or serve on the committee to organize and plan the festival please contact the office at St Charles.
Discontinuation of Flowers at Weekend Masses: We are glad to all those who had volunteered or participated on the provision and preparation of Flowers at the weekend Masses. We know that often the flowers are provided in memory of our departed loved ones and anniversaries, but as of now we do not have any volunteers to handle this, therefore, we cannot be discouraged. Remember, it is between you and God. You can book Mass for your departed loved ones, anniversaries and others. You may make donations for the candles use to celebrate Masses or other things used at Mass. Please our Church also need donations for Christmas and Easter altar flower decorations. Thanks and God bless you! Parish Office.

“A Sacrificial Gift"
How can I determine how much is a
"sacrificial gift"? One way to deter-
mine a sacrificial gift is by relating
your gift to your income. Some people
reach into their pocket to see what is
left from Saturday night.
As a good steward, you are being
asked to consider donating one hour
(2 1/2%) or two hours (5%) of your
weekly income. As circumstances
change, increase gradually toward
the ideal of 10% to your church and
other charities. Some will be able to
do more while others may need to do
less.
There are two important points: first is that your gift be a sacrifice and sec-ond is that you relate your donation to your income. If your income is $1000/week or $4333/month then a weekly sacrificial gift would be 2.5% = $25, 5% = $50 and 10% = $100.

Share the Harvest Don’t forget our “Share the Harvest Food Wagon” at St. Charles and the “Box” at OLOL. When you are out do-ing your grocery shopping please con-sider picking up an extra item or two and bring when you come to Mass. Also cash is five times as good. Every $1.00 given buys $5.00 from the food bank. Thank you for your generosity. God Bless You.
