mind: to make God’s love more real and refreshing to
your heart and spirit than ever before. Each of the
seven sections of our book contains a paraphrased
scripture, an inspirational message, a poignant saying,
and a fictional tale based on a particular passage of
scripture. As a gifted author Caron Loveless retells the
various stories from the Bible you will discover unique
insights that will deepen your faith and warm your
heart! CHECK IT OUT!!

STEWARDSHIP OF FINANCE TERRI’S TIDBITS
SHOPPING CENTS
DID YOU KNOW THAT you can call the parish
office if you want your tax contribution letter? We can
email it or send it by mail. Just let us know.
DID YOU KNOW THAT someone has graciously
donated new carpet and their time to put in carpet in
the parish office and the school office? With the help
of the Joseph’s Group, the project is moving along.
They wish to remain anonymous so help us say a
prayer of thanks for this wonderful gift of time, talent
and treasure.
DID YOU KNOW THAT the Martha’s Group need
your help? They clean our church and gathering
space. If you can give an hour or so on Monday
mornings or Thursday afternoons, please call the
parish office.
Thought for today is “There can be no peace without
forgiveness”. Choosing not to forgive someone is like
drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
So whom do you need to forgive? Whom is God
inviting you to forgive? Excerpt from Rediscover
Jesus by Matthew Kelly.
STEWARDSHIP FOR THE WEEK
“He said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have
come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found
none.’” (Luke 13:7)
Are you like the barren fig tree? How will you
respond when God asks you what you have done with
all the gifts He has given you? Remember, not only
are we called to be generous, we are called to develop
and nurture our gifts and return with increase.
Shopping Cent$ turned over $20,000 in profits to our
school last month. Thanks to all the supporters who
support the program and made this possible! We have
been told that one reason we don’t have more
customers is that we don’t take credit cards
anymore. We decided about 5 years ago to discontinue
accepting credit cards due to the high fees (up to 3% of
sales) from the banks and credit card companies. The
fees negatively affect our profits for the school. We
realize people want to use their credit cards for the
convenience and to earn points but do they realize
many retailers give us MORE than the 1-2% they earn.
We still need one more new face to join our team. It
only takes less than hour per month. We have one
openings before/after 4:30 Mass on third Saturday of
the month. Please call the hotline (699-6960 ext. 240)
if you can help out!
Moses heard God’s call from a burning bush. What is your passion, your
burning bush? Take time to know what God is sending you to do and be. - Exodus: 3:18, 13-15

THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

MUSICIAN’S NOTES BY DOUG SCHMUTTE
S tarting this Sunday and for the next two
Sundays, there will be two sets of readings
depending upon the Mass you attend. At the
4:30 and 11:00 we continue to hear from
Luke’s gospel, but at the 8:30 we hear from John’s
gospel. Why two sets of readings?
As you know, there are those among us who are
in their final preparation to be baptized, confirmed,
and “eucharistized” at the Easter Vigil. They are
called “the elect.” Over these next three Sundays we
celebrate special rites with them called “scrutinies.”
You may wonder, “What is a scrutiny?” Well, if
you take the verb form, to scrutinize, we get a pretty
good sense of what these rites are meant to do.
According to “Webster’s,” when we “scrutinize”
something, we examine or inspect it very closely
and thoroughly.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA),
stages the following: The scrutinies, are rites for self
-searching and repentance and have above all a
spiritual purpose. The scrutinies are meant to
uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or
sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out, then
strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good. For
the scrutinies are celebrated in order to deliver the
elect from the power of sin, to protect them against
temptation, and to give them strength in Christ, who
is the way, the truth, and the life.
Lent is a period, not only for the elect, but for all
of us to “scrutinize” our lives and to examine
ourselves closely and thoroughly. So, if you don’t
attend the 8:30 Mass, I recommend taking a bible
and sometime this week read this Sunday’s scrutiny
gospel, John 4:
5 – 42, which
tells of an
e n c o u n t e r
between Jesus
and a Samaritan
woman at a
well.
I found the
f o l l o w i n g
reflection on the
gospel passage,
and it pertains to all of us, not just the elect:
Today’s gospel presents us with the longest one-on-
one exchange between Jesus and another person in
any of the four Gospels. The story of the Samaritan
woman at the well cuts to the heart of the journey of
conversion.
Imagine yourself at the well. Imagine the Lord
Jesus uncovering your own sinfulness.
Rediscover the great gift that the Lord offers you
today: a way out of sinfulness and a way into
everlasting peace and goodness. Let the gospel
scrutinize each one of us, so that, like the Samaritan
woman, we will proclaim Jesus as Messiah to all we
meet.
So, as we continue on our Lenten journey, may
each of us scrutinize his/her own life, and also pray
for the elect as they prepare for the Easter
sacraments.
May Christ continue to be the “living water” for
which we all thirst and receive each day of this
Lenten season.
Have a great week.
Jesus and the Samaritan woman meet at a well and her world changes. The same thing happens to us when Jesus meets us in the liturgy.
Week by Week Through the Year of Mercy
P ope Francis states that the sacrament of Rec-
onciliation is “a source of true interior
peace,” enabling people “to touch the gran-
deur of God’s mercy with their own
hands” (Misericordiae Vultus, 17). In Luke’s Gospel,
Jesus warns us against judging others. Focus instead,
Jesus says, on deepening—or restoring—our own re-
lationship with God, for during this Lenten spring-
time that Master Gardener can use even life’s manure
(the parable’s “fertilizer”) to coax fresh fruit from a
tree that seems hopelessly barren—us! Parishes
preparing catechumens may choose
John’s Gospel, which likewise
cautions against judging. Imagine what
the Samaritan woman’s lifelong
neighbors thought of her multiple
relationships. But by discovering
Jesus, then sharing her good news—
and Jesus—with those very neighbors, she whom
they had probably judged quite sinful became
instead their evangelist and “missionary of mercy.” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

to LOVE as
GOD LOVES
By Amanda Weickert
One major aspect of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy is the plenary indulgence offered this year. Pope
Francis writes: “I wish that the Jubilee Indulgence
may reach each one as a genuine experience of God’s
mercy, which comes to meet each person in the Face
of the Father who welcomes and forgives, forgetting
completely the sin committed.”
While one’s sins are completely forgiven in the
Sacrament of Reconciliation one is still responsible for
the effects of that sin. “An indulgence is a remission
before God of the temporal punishment due to sins
whose guilt has already been forgiven” (Catechism of
the Catholic Church 1471).
This ‘temporal punishment’ isn’t vengeance or
suffering imparted by God but an acknowledgment that
as we sin we demonstrate and increase our unhealthy
attachment to things that are not God, such as choosing
our own pride rather than being companionate or
allowing a desire for material comforts to make us less
generous. Through an indulgence we are purified by
God’s grace and are called to conversion in our hearts
and lives.
There are several conditions which must be met in
order to receive the indulgence. The indulgence itself is
granted when one walks through a Holy Door of Mercy
or performs a work of mercy. In addition, one must
have the interior disposition of complete detachment
from sin, even venial sin, confess their sins in the
sacrament of Reconciliation, receive the Holy Eucharist,
and pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
Like the sacraments, a plenary indulgence is not a
vending machine of mercy - you don’t check off certain
boxes to ‘pay the toll’ for the indulgence. The
indulgence itself is a pilgrimage. Whether we travel
physically to one of the Holy Doors of Mercy in Rome
and the Archdiocese or perform an act of mercy within
our own homes, we are journeying closer to God as we
act as he acts. We acknowledge our deep need for
God’s grace while still accepting our responsibility to
change our actions and renew our lives. God’s grace
cannot force us to change; we must use our free will to
participate in the new life given to us through the
indulgence.
Patient Father, grant us the courage to ask
for your mercy and the strength to accept it.
Amen!
Merciful like the Father
Amanda Weickert [email protected]
Do you need to talk through something or have and
questions about our faith? It would be my joy to meet
with you! Please feel free to call or schedule an
appointment any time! ___________________________________________
“We want to live this Jubilee Year in light of the
Lord’s words: Merciful like the Father. The Evangelist
reminds us of the teaching of Jesus who says, “Be
merciful just as your Father is merciful” (Lk 6:36).
It is a program of life as demanding
as it is rich with
joy and peace. Jesus’s command is directed to anyone willing to listen
to his voice (cf. Lk 6:27). In order to be capable of
mercy, therefore, we must first of all dispose ourselves
to listen to the Word of God. This means rediscovering
the value of silence in order to meditate on the Word
that comes to us. In this way, it will be possible to
contemplate God’s mercy and adopt it as our lifestyle.”
Excerpt from paragraph 13 of Misericordiae Vultus,

Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. Vatican Translation.

Junior High Ministry
Some of our eighth graders began taking a Theology
of the Body class here at St. John’s. This is an
awesome journey that they are continuing in which
they will learn more about who they are and what
their physical bodies have to do with their faith.
Please pray for them during the next 7 weeks as they
continue to learn and grow!
Junior High Ministry
This weekend, some of our 8th graders will attend a
retreat that is part of the Confirmation process. The
topic of the retreat is “How am I Gifted?” and this is
a great opportunity for our youth to spend the day
reflecting on all that God has blessed them with.
Please pray for them while they are on this retreat!
This past Saturday, some of our Junior High Youth
came out for a retreat with youth from 6 other West
Side parishes. This retreat was run by NET
ministries and they did an awesome job. The theme
of the retreat was Strength and Beauty and our youth
who attended had an excellent time and grew closer
to Christ.

“...we foster
hope by
providing
spiritual,
emotional
and material
assistance...”
T o serve the poor in our parishes’ areas, we have two St. Vincent de Paul Societies. St. John the Baptist has one and Corpus Christ and St. John Neumann share the other one. The work of the soci-ety is expressed in their mission state-ment: “Answering Christ’s call, we fos-ter hope by provid-ing spiritual, emo-tional and material assistance on a per-son-to-person basis to the poor, lonely,
and forgotten in our community.” The St. Vincent de Paul Society is an in-ternational organ-ized which was founded by Frederic Ozanam in 1833 in Paris, France. It is dedicated to the spiritual growth of its members and the physical and spiri-tual growth of those they serve. The Society pro-vides emergency as-sistance to those who live in our parish boundaries.
The various forms of emergency assistance that are provided can include: Food Clothing vouchers Utility and rent as-
sistance Furniture vouchers Support services for
employment and housing
Pharmacy
Our Pastoral Area Lenten
Almsgiving Project St. Vincent de Paul Society
What can I do to foster the work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society?
1. Prayer: pray for the members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society; pray for the people they help.
2. Fasting: eat a simpler meal once a week this Lent and save the money for almsgiving.
3. Almsgiving: contribute money from your fasting, from an odd-job, or from your allowance to the St. Vincent de Paul Society through our Almsgiving Envelope (or any envelope so marked).
4. Pray and consider becoming a part of your St. Vincent de Paul Society (SJB: call 301-6881; CC/SJN: 402-2868).
Thanks to your generous support, this past year our St Vincent de Paul Societies helped: SJB: 160 Families CC/SJN: 160 Families

February 10 – March 20 www.40daysforlife.com/cincinnati
This Lent, from February 10th to March 20th, our community is uniting with 273 communities across 23 coun-
tries for the latest 40 Days for Life campaign. Recognizing that “with God all things are possible,” people of faith
are praying that this effort will help bring an end to abortion.
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign that has already mobilized over 675,000 people worldwide, saved
11,165 lives from abortion (that we know about), led to the conversion of 127 abortion workers, and has seen
64 abortion facilities close! The campaign has occurred in 607 cities and 32 nations. 40 Days for Life is made
up of three components:
Prayer and Fasting: believers throughout our city are invited to join together for 40 days of fervent prayer and
fasting for an end to abortion
Peaceful Vigil: stand for life during a 40-day peaceful public witness outside the Planned Parenthood abortion
facility at 2314 Auburn Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45219.
Community Outreach: help take a positive, upbeat pro-life message to every corner of our city through media
efforts, advocacy, and public visibility
Please consider getting your ministry to commit one of their meeting times during the 40 days to meet down at
Planned Parenthood and pray. Please email or call Nellie Jung with questions or to sign up for a time at 513-368-
5160 or [email protected].
STAND AND PRAY FOR LIFE WITH ST. JOHN’S Our call to the St. John's faithful is to cover 24 hours (or more) over the 40 days. We are seeking volunteers to
cover hours over a handful of days throughout the campaign to reach a total of 24 hours.
