2nd Sunday of Lent
Holy Name of Mary Parish
Serving San Dimas and La Verne and surrounding communities
Staffed by the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Lent isn’t a diet plan, it’s a season for growth in faith.
Whatever I do for Lent,
whatever I give up for Lent is meant,
to help me grow in my knowledge and
love of God
and my mindfulness of God in my daily life.

My dear sisters and brothers,
Thank you for your most generous response to
Together in Mission. I am most grateful to Terry Monday
who coordinated the implementation of the process. The
hours of time and choosing to be present at each mass
let everything unfold very smoothly. We are gifted to
have on our staff Charlie Martinez. In his humble, real,
sensitive and faith-filled way shared the story of his life
interweaving it with the good things God has done for
him, through him, for others. To those who were unable
to give last week there is still time and information in the
pastoral office.
A little girl is sitting on her mothers’ lap. Looking up
into her mother’s eyes, she says, “Mommy, you have a
beautiful face, sparkling eyes and lovely hair. Why are
your arms so ugly?” Her mother explains: “When you
were a baby, I left you sleeping alone in your crib one
evening, the first time I had ever left you alone in the
house. I went down the street to see a neighbor for a
few minutes. While I was gone, our house caught fire.
When I realized that it was our house that was burning, I
raced up the street. I dashed through the flames and
grabbed you out of your crib. I held you close to me and
tried to protect you from the flames. As we ran to safety,
my hands and arms got badly burned. That’s why
they’re so ugly.”
With tears in her eyes, the little girl looked at her
mother’s face again. “Mommy, you have a beautiful
face, sparkling eyes and lovely hair. But your hands and
arms are the most beautiful of all.”
A little girl realizes her mother’s devotion to her in
the “cross” of her mother’s scars. So many times we are
very much unaware of the crosses of others. Crosses
always leave scars. He came back as the resurrected
one bearing his scars. They were something that linked
him to the past but also prepared him for the present.
Our Lenten song says “heal the wounds but leave a
scar, a reminder of how merciful you are.”
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Gracias por su respuesta mas generosa a Unidos en
Misión. Estoy muy agradecido con Terry Monday quien
coordinó la ejecución del proceso. Las horas de su tiempo y la
decisión de estar presente en cada misa permitió que todo se
desarrollara sin problemas. Estamos bendecidos de tener en
nuestro personal a Charlie Martínez. Quien con su humilde,
real, manera sensible y llena de fe compartió la historia de su
vida e intercalando las cosas buenas que Dios ha hecho por él,
a través, de los demás. Para aquellos que no pudieron aportar o
hacer su compromiso la semana pasada, todavía hay tiempo y
la información esta en la oficina pastoral.
Una niña estaba sentada en el regazo de su madre.
Mirándo a los ojos de su madre, le dice: “Mami, tienes un
rostro bello, los ojos brillantes y el pelo encantador ¿Por qué
tus brazos estan tan feos?”, Explica su madre: “Cuando eras
una bebé, te dejé durmiendo en tu cuna por una rato, en la
tarde, era la primera vez que te había dejado sola en la casa.
Fui por la calle para ver a un vecino por unos minutos.
Mientras estaba afuera, nuestra casa se incendió. Cuando me
di cuenta que era nuestra casa la que ardía, corrií por la
calle. Me lancé a través de las llamas y te saqué fuera de tu
cuna. Te sostuve cerca de mí y traté de protegerte de las
llamas. Mientras corríamos a zona de seguridad, las manos y
los brazos quedaron con graves quemaduras. Es por eso que
son tan feos.”
Con lágrimas en los ojos, la niña miró la cara de su
madre de nuevo. Y le dijo “Mamá, tu tienes una cara
hermosa, ojos brillantes y el pelo precioso. Pero tus manos y
brazos son la más bellos de todos.”
La niña se dió cuenta de la devoción de su madre para
ella en la "cruz" de las cicatrices de su madre. Tantas veces no
estamos muy conscientes de las cruces de los demás. Las
cruces siempre dejan cicatrices. Jesus regresa como el
resucitado llevando sus cicatrices. Algo que lo vincula con el
pasado, pero también lo preparara para el presente. Nuestra
canción de Cuaresma dice "cura las heridas, pero deja una
cicatriz, un recuerdo de lo misericordioso que eres."
Richard Rohr reminds us. “Unless we transform our
pain we transmit it.” O God who chooses to walk with us
and even dwell within us help us to never lose hope,
trust your love can transform the darkest nights into
mornings of Easter joy. Help us each day, help us to
help each other each day, to STAY RISEN.
Richard Rohr Nos recuerda. “A menos que transformemos
nuestro dolor lo transmitimos.” Oh Dios ¿Que eliges caminar
con nosotros y aún mas moras dentro de nosotros ayúdanos a
no perder la esperanza, confíar en que tu amor puede
transformar las noches más oscuras en mañanas de la alegría
de la Pascua. Ayúdanos cada día, ayúdanos a ayudarnos unos a
otros cada día, para PERMANECER RESUCITADOS.
Calm me, quiet me, settle me…
Steady me, balance me, ground me…
Plant me, root me, embed me…
Support me, sustain me, protect me…
Forgive me, pardon me, free me…
Refresh me, restore me, heal me…
Enfold me, embrace me, hold me…
Lord, hear my prayer today!
With my love and prayers as we continue the journey
helping each other carry the cross and allowing others to
help us.
Fr. Rich, SS.CC.
Cálmame, tranquilízame, asiéntame ...
Sostenme, equilíbrame, ponme en el suelo ...
Plántame, enraízame, incrústrame ...
Apóyame, sostiéneme, protéjeme ...
Perdóname, hazme libre ...
Refréscame, restáurame, sáname ...
Envuélveme, abrázame, sostenme ...
Señor, escucha mi oración hoy!
Con mi amor y oraciones mientras continuamos la jornada
ayudándonos unos a otros a llevar la cruz y Permitir que otros
nos ayuden.

From the Director of Administration……
Construction on the hall remains on time and on
budget; this summer we’ll have a beautiful new hall
with opportunity for all of our ministries and programs
to enter a new era of service and ministry.
There are some details still be reviewed to ensure
successful use of this much needed space. The hall
was built to be used at it will be a bustling hub of
activity. There is a committee working on creating
some policies and procedures to ensure that the hall
will be ready and available for our ministries and
programs. This committee is also working on creating
a furniture, fixtures, and equipment plan.
Financial Stewardship: Thank you for your
generosity to Holy Name of Mary Parish!

We need your input…Survey for Upcoming Synod
of Bishops:
The 2015 Synod on The Vocation and Mission of the
Family in the Church and Contemporary World will be
held October 4-25, and in preparation, the Vatican
hopes to draw on the practical experience of both the
lay and religious members concerning the matters to be
discussed. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has
drafted an online survey in order to collect the faithful’s
input for this upcoming synod of bishops. The survey
includes questions such as: How is marriage
preparation proposed in order to highlight the vocation
and mission of the family according to faith in Jesus? Is
it proposed as an authentic ecclesial experience? How
can it be improved? To participate in the survey, please
visit survey.la-archdiocese.org.
The deadline to
complete the survey is March 9th. Thank you so much
for your help!

Message of Love...
Dear Father Rich,
I want to sincerely thank you for your sermons dealing with outreach and inclusiveness. They have been very healing
to me and have helped bring me back to the Church of my youth, back to my faith. Let me be very clear: although I
left the Church, I never left God.
I attended Catholic parochial elementary and high school, and my first husband and I were married in the Church, but
it ended divorce. My second marriage was a long and happy one, but my husband was not Catholic, and since I was
divorced, we were married in a civil ceremony. With the Church's views on divorce many years ago, I felt like an
outsider, especially when I got the message loud and clear from the Church that I should refrain from communion
because I had divorced and subsequently remarried outside of the Church. Despite this, I hung onto my faith and my
Church, and continued to attend mass, and even sent my son to parochial elementary school and high school.
What "broke the camel's back" for me with the Church was when my son, while away at college, called to tell us he
was gay. No way would I ever stop loving my son or condemn him for this, especially since I had educated myself
enough to know that this was not a choice for him but an innate, biological happenstance of nature. When my son
"came out” to us, the Catholic Church's view on gays and lesbians was one of condemnation, and I wasn't about to
stick around to hear the Church's ignorant and sometimes vitriolic messages about this. I chose my son over the
Church, and I would never hesitate to do it again. Let me state at this time that my son is a wonderful person who is a
health professional. He is happily married to an equally wonderful man who he met in college. He and his husband
have been together 25 years, and I consider my son's husband my second son. They are both loved and accepted
unconditionally by my family and by his spouse’s family.
Getting back to the Church, through the years, I noticed that the Church failed to change its views about gays and
lesbians, but something was changing in other churches. They began to preach acceptance and inclusiveness to its
gay and lesbian brothers and sisters and to the new and different types of families that were being formed, families
with two dads or two moms who were providing no less love or opportunities to their children than their heterosexual
counterparts.
I saw no change in the Catholic Church, until "bingo", Pope Francis was elected. His message was loud and clear to
me. It was about love and inclusiveness. What a concept! Isn't this Christ's message after all!
I took a chance, and after nearly 40 years away from the Church, I started coming to Holy Name of Mary Parish
Church to see if anything had changed. It was there that I heard your sermon, Father Rich, the one where you talked
about going to meet with the parents of gay and lesbian children. In your sermon you spoke of the prejudices and
biases people are taught, and how we should not judge. Your message was of love, understanding and
inclusiveness. Your message swept me in, and got me hooked! This is what I had been waiting to hear, a message of
love that calls people like me back to a church for "everyone", a non-judgmental church. The message that day in
your sermon confirmed to me what I instinctively knew: God doesn't make mistakes. He makes us all in His image,
perfect in every way. And those who have an issue with His creations should take it up with Him.
Thank you again, Father Rich, for your messages of love. And I thank Him for you.
Sincerely,
Patricia Cunningham

Would You Like to Help?: Our Spring retreat is

collecting snacks like granola bars, nutri-grain bars,
juice boxes/pouches, fruit bars, chips, cookies,
pudding cups, etc. Any and all snack items
welcome. Please drop anything you would like to
donate in the pastoral office or the faith formation
office.
Retreat Sponsors also needed: If you would like to

Our 21 New Martyrs By Name
 Holy Martyr Bishoy Adel Khalaf, pray for the
Let us remember the names of 21 new martyrs;
let us speak their names in remembrance.
As they now stand amid the white-robed multitudes
and behold the Throne of the Almighty One, let us
speak their names in prayer. As they shimmer within
the great cloud of witnesses, let us — in the
Communion of Saints — ask their intercession
before the Lamb.
Let us ponder the increasingly chaotic world in
which they were slain; let us consider the people
who murdered them, who seem hell-bent on
Apocalypse. It feels as though a world full of small
fires, public and private, are simply the purposeful
distractions meant to prevent our noticing a bonfire
in our future.
Therefore, let us ask these new martyrs for their
prayers:
 Holy Martyr Milad Makeen Zaky, pray for us, and
for the whole world,
 Holy Martyr Abanub Ayad Atiya, pray for your
ISIS murderers,
 Holy Martyr Maged Solaimain Shehata, pray for
their salvation,
 Holy Martyr Yusuf Shukry Yunan, pray for the
release of their all their captives,
 Holy Martyr Kirollos Shokry Fawzy, pray for all in
the path of ISIS,
 Holy Martyr Bishoy Astafanus Kamel, pray for
the displaced, for those made refugees by ISIS,
 Holy Martyr Somaily Astafanus Kamel, pray for
the protection of our Holy Lands and our history,
 Holy Martyr Malak Ibrahim Sinweet, pray for
those who act now in resistance against ISIS,
 Holy Martyr Tawadros Yusuf Tawadros, pray for
those in immediate danger from forces of evil,
 Holy Martyr Girgis Milad Sinweet, pray for those
infected with the virus of hatred and extremism,
 Holy Martyr Mina Fayez Aziz, pray for families
being challenged, throughout the world, by ISIS,
 Holy Martyr Hany Abdelmesih Salib, pray aid
workers may work together unmolested, to give
assistance,
targeted clergy and religious of the Near East
churches,
 Holy Martyr Samuel Alham Wilson, pray for all
people of good will, in every religion, every
nation,
 Holy Martyr Whose name we do not know —
you “Worker from Awr village” — pray for those
in leadership, whose names we know all too
well, that that their motives may be purified of
political intrigue, and for their salvation,
 Holy Martyr Ezat Bishri Naseef, pray for Jews,
throughout the world, chosen of God and so
despised,
 Holy Martyr Loqa Nagaty, pray for the “two
lungs” of Christianity, East and West, to breath
together,
 Holy Martyr Gaber Munir Adly, pray for the
illumination of that which is All-Good,
 Holy Martyr Esam Badir Samir, pray that in
beholding it, we will wish to serve it,
 Holy Martyr Malak Farag Abram, pray for the
generation in power, that their egos may be
put aside and their hearts might be opened to
the Way, the Truth and the Life,
 Holy Martyr Sameh Salah Faruq, pray for the
generations to come.
O new martyrs, now numbering among the
ancients through a malevolent force as old as
Eden, keep us particularly in your prayers. Once
again, we are focused on the mysterious lands
where humanity first came into being, and into
knowing, and where all will finally be revealed.
Pray that we may put aside all that is irrelevant to
the moment and, looking forever to the East,
prepare our spirits for the engagements into which
we may be called, whether we live amid these
places of ancient roads and portals, or in the most
modern of dwellings.
Mary, the God-bearer, pray for us,
Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us,
Saint John the Forerunner, pray for us,
All Holy Men and Women, pray for us.
Amen, Amen.
