Prayers for Our Military Troops

Perhaps you, too, love a service member. Or maybe, because you’ve served in the past or know someone

who has, you understand the sacrifices these men and women make to guard our safety and preserve our freedom. We invite you to join us as we pray for

the men and women who serve.

Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in you will be glad and forever will shout for joy.

Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the

power of your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever

praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Italian Catholic Federation will be

celebrating the Feast of St. Joseph at the

St. Patrick’s Day Dinner on March 14. The feast

day is normally celebrated on March 19 with a joyful abundance of food, flowers, music

and prayers of thanksgiving. For the

dinner, the ICF will create the St. Joseph’s Table,

the traditional homage to the patron saint of

Italy. Many centuries ago a great drought caused famine in southern Italy, the people in Sicily were starving. They prayed to St. Joseph, guardian of the Holy Family, and promised to honor him with a great feast. The rains came and

the crops grew. Every year “La Tavola” di San Guiseppe” is created to honor the Holy Family and to serve food to the poor. The ICF will be giving

St. Joseph holy cards and Italian cookies to everyone at the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner, so buy

your tickets soon!

Parish Registration Question:

Why is it so important that we register in a parish? Isn't it good enough that we go to Mass?

Answer: Registration is the official way we join a

parish community. Many people think that because they attend a particular parish they automatically belong. At times, young adults who have moved

away for years think they are still signed up under their parents. But membership requires signing up, formally enrolling yourself in a parish. Registration

is a commitment to a community, a way to be included in the religious, social, and

ministerial activities of your parish. Your registration affects the parish in many ways. Census

numbers can determine how many priests are assigned to a church, what benefits and obligations the community has to the diocese, and how Masses,

Confessions, and devotions are planned and scheduled. Registration shows you belong. It is also

necessary for certain benefits, like scheduling sacraments, obtaining sponsor certificates, and

getting donation statements for taxes. Most importantly, it lets the parish count on you, to call on you to assist in its mission. Registering in your parish is a statement of faith and confidence in the life and

work of your parish. ©LPi

If you are unable to become an active Legion of Mary

member, but would like to become an “Auxiliary”

Member which does not require you to attend meetings or do

works. The Duties of an Auxiliary Member are:

the daily recitation of the Rosary and the daily +96—recitation of the prayers contained in the Legion

prayer leaflet called the “Tessera”. An Auxiliary member shares in all the prayers and works of the

thousands of active members throughout the world. Auxiliary members also gain all the indulgences

attached to the saying of the Rosary and also to the aspirations and prayers included in the Tessera.

I promise to get back to you.

“Turn our hearts, O God…

This beautiful prayer will be sung from our hearts as begin our Eucharistic celebrations each week during Lent. Perhaps the traditional Lenten practices – prayer, fasting and almsgiving – can help us “turn our hearts”, more intentionally, to the Lord during these forty days.

Below are a few ideas to get us started!

♦ Our Church environment had been prepared in a way that helps us focus on the cross and the altar; which are at the heart of our Catholic Faith, and also on the font which leads us to Easter joy and resurrection hope! The presence of empty pots, bare branches and open hearts show us the need for the mercy, love and hope that is found in God alone!

♦ Come join our community each Friday evening at 6:30 pm as different ministries from our parish lead The Stations of Cross. A very special presentation of “The Passion of Christ “ will be presented on Friday April 3rd at 7:00 pm.

♦ Plan to attend weekday, morning Mass, or our 6:30pm, Wednesday, evening Masses, offered March 4, 11,18,25, and April 1st. Another opportunity for blessing, lies in our First Friday 24 hour adoration! During Lent this will take place on Friday, March 6th and Friday, April 3rd.

PENANCE SERVICE

♦ On Monday, March 9th, at 7:00 pm, we will offer the beautiful Sacrament of Reconciliation! Many priests will be present to hear our confessions and offer the grace and forgiveness of our loving God! That evening we will receive “wooden, pocket hearts” as a reminder of the grace of God and of our Lenten theme, “Turn our Hearts, O God.”

♦ Finally, Did you know that the Triduum is the

hearts of our Church Year! Triduum means “Three Days” but is actually one extended cele-bration, beginning on Holy Thursday, continu-ing into Good Friday and culminating with the Easter Vigil Mass. During these three days we walk with Jesus through the last days of his earthly life and rejoice in his resurrection! Those from our community who have been preparing

to be baptized and received fully into our faith community want and need our pres-ence with them at these most Holy and sa-cred celebrations. It is our role to rejoice with them and welcome them! What a beautiful witness to them and their fami-lies to experience how our parish commu-nity loves and embraces them! ♦ Easter Sunday is the Icing on the cake and a day when so many come to us look-ing for the love and welcome of God. This happens as each one of us become the heart and presence of God to all. May Gods love and mercy “Turn our Hearts” as we journey together this Lenten season!

Shelley Reed Music & Liturgy Director

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

Psychology has taught us a great deal about family dynamics and how we have come to be the person we

find ourselves to be. We are comprised of such a mixed bag of blessings and obstacles with their graced moments

and sinful ones. Think back on the journey of your life and how the many different and varied choices that you made influenced the direction your life. If you didn’t go on that first date with your spouse, who would be beside

you today? If you chose to be in one place rather than another, what would have happened to the course your

life has taken? We are on such a wonderful, exciting journey. What is most incredible and awesome is that we

are not alone! God is with us. He inspires, heals, opens doors, and calls us every moment of our lives. The very

life we have is due only to Him.

We can all sit down and list adjectives describing who we are. One may find him or herself more artistic than another or quicker with wit. We have unique gifts and

talents and have the great gift of free will, which we treasure. Our histories come with more baggage for some

and less hurdles for others, but we all have to find our way through the path we are on. However, have you ever given much thought to who you really are? That question

has more merit than may at first appear. We know ourselves as we live out our earthly journey. But do we

know our heavenly self? What we know here is only one small part of who God has made us to be. The disciples really thought they knew Jesus until they went up the

mountain. We also may think we know our true selves, too. We know that in eternal life we shall not only see

God, but become like Him. Who will you be? What surprise do you think God has for you? ©LPi

SANTA FRANCISCA ROMANA (1384-1440) 9 de marzo

Francisca nació en una familia cristiana donde aprendió a amar a Dios y a los pobres. Contrajo nupcias muy joven, pero jamás abandonó su deseo de servir a los pobres, labor pastoral que fue apoya-da por Lorenzo, su esposo. Además de ser ejemplar esposa y madre, oraba constantemente y salía del palacio vestida con ropas humildes para ir a visitar a los enfermos y llevar alimento a los pobres. Su amor por los marginados era tan grande que cuando azo-taron inundaciones y pestes no dudó en abrir su pa-lacio para que se convirtiera en hospital y refugio de damnificados, cuidando personalmente de ellos y ofreciéndoles alimento. Este amor por los pobres lo compartió con una de sus cuñadas, con quien no sólo practicó la caridad sino compartió el sueño de ser religiosa. Siendo esposa y madre fundó la comu-nidad de las Oblatas de María, cuyo carisma era vi-vir en el hogar sirviendo a los pobres. Se unió a esta comunidad religiosa una vez que enviudó y sus hijos crecieron. Para los ciudadanos de Roma fue un vivo ejemplo de Cristo. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CAMBIO

Cuaresma es cambio y cambiar no es fácil. Para poder cambiar debemos dejar algo atrás. Hoy escuchamos acerca de un hombre muy viejo que decide responder al llamado de Dios. Abram atraviesa por una tremenda cantidad de cambios cuando todo lo deja y lo arriesga por la promesa de Dios. Jesús cambia, se transfigura, justo delante de los ojos de sus discípulos. Las escrituras en Cuaresma nos llaman a cambiar, a ser transfigura-dos, para que también nosotros pronto participemos en la gloria de Dios. ¿Qué nos pide Dios dejar atrás? ¿Estamos dispuestos a arriesgarlo todo por la promesa que Dios hace? Estas son las preguntas centrales en el camino de conversión de la Cuaresma. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

MGA PAGBASA SA MGA ARAW NG LINGGO

Marso 8, 2020 Pangalawang Linggo ng Kuwaresma

Pagpapakasakit, Pagkamatay, at Muling Pagkabuhay na itinuturing na “bagong exodus”. Kaya ang pagkasalaysay nito ni San Lucas ay nagpapahayag na ang kaligtasan ng Diyos ay para sa lahat ng tao. Nakatulala ang 3 Apostol sapagkat hindi nila naunawaan ang nangyayari, kaya’t hiniling ni Pedro na gumawa sila ng tat-long tolda para kina Hesus, Moises, at Elias. At dito’y makikita natin ang pagpapalibot ng isang ulap sa bundok at ang tinig ng Ama’y nagpapa-hayag na si Kristo ay ang kanyang kinalulug-dang Anak. Kaya makikita natin sa Pagbabagong-Anyo ang presensiya ng pagmamahal ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Santatlo: Ang Ama ang lumikha ng mabuting bagay, ang Anak ang nagligtas mula sa ating mga kasalanan, at ang Espiritu ang patuloy na nagpapahiwaga ng men-sahe ng pag-ibig sa atin. Makikita natin dito na tunay ngang natutupad ang pangako ng Diyos na kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng pagiging masunurin ni Kristo sa dakilang kalooban. At ipinapakita sa atin ang kahalagahan ng pagiging masunurin sa kalooban ng Panginoon, lalung-lalo na sa patuloy na pakikinig sa kanyang Anak sa pagsasabuhay natin sa Banal na Salita. At ang maluwalhating pangyayaring ito ay isang ma-gandang paalala na ayon nga kay San Pablo sa Ikalawang Pagbasa, ang ating pagiging mama-mayan ay walang hangganan sa kalangitan kahit lahat po tayo ay papanaw balang araw sa daig-dig na ito. Kaya ang hamon dito ay maging mat-apat sa plano at kalooban ng Diyos katulad ni Abraham sa Unang Pagbasa, upang mas biyayaan pa tayo at tumulad ang ating mga susunod na henerasyon. Sa gayon natin magaga-wa ang tunay na pagbabago mula sa ating mga puso’t isipan.

Pagninilay: Mapapansin po natin na tuwing Ika-2 Linggo ng Kuwaresma, ang Ebanghelyo sa araw na ito ay palagi tungkol sa Pagbabagong-Anyo ni Hesus sa Bundok ng Ta-bor. Makikita po natin ang isang “paradigm shift” mula noong si Hesus ay tinukso ng Diyablo sa disyerto subalit lumabas na tagumpay. Ang kanyang Pagbabagong-Anyo naman ay isang maluwalhating pangyayari na ang Anak ng Diyos bagamat may mataas na kalagayan ay naging masun-urin sa dakilang kalooban ng Diyos Ama. Nakita si Hesus ng tatlong alagad na nangungusap kina Moises at Elias. Si Moises ay sumasagisag sa Kautusan, habang si Elias ay sumasagisag sa mga Propeta. Kaya ang kanilang presensiya sa Bundok ng Tabor ay nagpapatunay na si Hesukristo ay ang katuparan ng Kautusan at mga Propeta. At makikita na ang katuparang ito ay mangyayari sa magaganap kay Hesus na ating ipagdiwang sa Semana Santa: ang kanyang

MASS TRANSIT March 8, 2020

2nd Sunday in Lent Genesis 12:1-4a • 2 Timothy 1:8b-10 • Matthew 17:1-9 “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well

pleased, listen to him.” -Matt. 17:5 During the Transfiguration, Jesus reveals his true glory to his closest friends. Similar to his baptism in the Jordan, the Father speaks from heaven to announce that Jesus is his “beloved Son.” Like a proud parent, God the Father is telling us that he is delighted by his son. He also tells us to “listen to him,” so we can follow Jesus and live how he

lived: paying attention to the poor and the outcast, fighting for what is right, and bringing comfort to those who are hurting. If we listen to

Jesus and follow him our hearts will get bigger and we will grow into everything God

wants us to be.

Dear Lord, help us to walk in Jesus’ footsteps, and to listen to him. Give us courage to

follow him wherever he leads us!

How can you improve your listening skills, to better hear God’s voice? temptation?

CRS RICE BOWL… ENCOUNTER LENT :

Join our faith community—and nearly 14,000 Catholic communities across the United States—in a life-changing

Lenten journey of encounter with CRS Rice Bowl. Pick up your

family’s CRS Rice Bowl from in the vestibule after Mass. During the 40 days of Lent, as companions

on the journey, we will encounter our neighbor.

MEATLESS MEALS TO PREPARE THIS LENT? Fasting from meat on Fridays during Lent helps us “acquire a mastery over our instincts and freedom of heart. ”(CCC 2043). Fasting is meant to free us. It helps us feel our physical hunger, and in turn, our spiritual hunger for the infinite love found only in God.

Gather your community, your friends or your family for a simple, meatless meal, an opportunity to eat while living in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world.

When you’ve cleaned your plate, remember to put the money you saved by not buying meat – an average of $3 per person per meal – into your CRS Rice Bowl to feed our brothers and sisters in need around the world.

VBS REGISTRATIONS BEGIN IN mid-MAY

Raise a player for God’s team Playing on a baseball or soccer team, for example, may teach children how to be good soccer or baseball team players, but few adults still play baseball or soccer. Children need life-team skills that are best taught in the family. Team players work for a common goal. One way to teach this

is to give children chores and let them know that their contribution is important and necessary to the wellbeing of the family. Team players obey the rules. Build these skills by setting family rules for behavior and performance, and enforcing them. Team players follow instructions. Give children age-appropriate instructions for doing homework, helping around the house, or working on extra projects to help. Team players share resources. Cheerfully sharing common resources like those in the kitchen or bathroom, for example, help youngsters learn planning and cooperation. Team players do their part. Skilled team players know that teams work best when everyone plays their part. After all, the most important team is God’s team where everyone works together to win.

Feasts and Celebrations March 12 – St. Seraphina (1253): Born to a

poor family in San Gimignano, Italy, she suffered from a mysterious paralyzing

illness. Once beautiful, she was disfigured and in

constant pain. Abandoned, she found comfort in the

sufferings of Jesus crucified and in the prayers of St.

Gregory the Great. She bore her sufferings with extraordinary

patience until her death.
