Virtual Marriage Retreat:
Marriage and Mercy
www.ForYourMarriage.org
Looking for a way to enrich your marriage? Take
our seven day virtual retreat! Each day for seven days,
set aside some time for prayer. This retreat is based on
the theme of “marriage and mercy,” since the Church is
currently celebrating the year-long Jubilee of mercy.
There are two other retreats available as well: (1) Pope
Francis’ advice about marriage and family life, (2) Reflections on the USCCB pastoral letter Marriage: Love and Life
in the Divine Plan. Both are available on the USCCB website:
Each day has a theme, followed by ways to put the
theme into practice through prayer, reflection, and action
(Pray—Reflect—Do). End each mini-retreat by praying
the prayer for married couples.
Also search “Seven Day Virtual Marriage Retreat”
which also has a pdf version which can be printed,
or we have copies in the office.
How to Pray?
There are many ways to pray. One is to walk with
the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Jesus listens to us: Jesus asks them and us to tell
Him what is on our minds and hearts.
Jesus teaches us through Scripture: Read any Bible
or Gospel passage (or the readings of the day which
can be found on our borromeoparish.com website
under “Parish-Daily Scripture Readings.” Listen to
God’s Message to yourself and/or your family by
focusing on the word, phrase, or sentence that
jumps up for you. Share this with spouse/family.
Jesus is recognized as Alive and Really Present in
the Breaking of the Bread = the Mass. Come to Mass
every week together or daily and show Jesus your
love by praying and singing out loud. Also share
God-Moments with whomever you break bread and
see how you nourish one another.
Can I give God 5 to 15 minutes each day at least?

2016 Lenten Message of Pope Francis
“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice” (Mt 9:13)
God’s covenant with humanity: a history of mercy
The mystery of divine mercy is revealed in the history of the covenant between God and his people Israel.
God shows himself ever rich in mercy, ever ready to
treat his people with deep tenderness and compassion,
especially at those tragic moments when infidelity ruptures the bond of the covenant, which then needs to be
ratified more firmly in justice and truth. Here is a true
love story, in which God plays the role of the betrayed
father and husband, while Israel plays the unfaithful
child and bride. These domestic images – as in the case
of Hosea (cf. Hos 1-2) – show to what extent God wishes
to bind himself to his people.
This love story culminates in the incarnation of
God’s Son. In Jesus Christ, the Father pours forth his
boundless mercy even to making him “mercy incarnate” (Misericordiae Vultus, 8). As a man, Jesus of Nazareth is a true son of Israel; he embodies that perfect hearing required of every Jew by the Shema, which today too
is the heart of God’s covenant with Israel: “Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your might” (Dt6:4-5). As the Son of God, he is the
Bridegroom who does everything to win over the love of
his bride, to whom he is bound by an unconditional love
which becomes visible in the eternal wedding feast.
This is the very heart of the apostolic kerygma, in
which divine mercy holds a central and fundamental
place. It is “the beauty of the saving love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ who died and rose from the dead”. Mercy
“expresses God’s way of reaching out to the sinner, offering
him a new chance to look at himself, convert, and believe, thus
restoring his relationship with him. In Jesus crucified,
God shows his desire to draw near to sinners, however
far they may have strayed from him.
(This Message will be continued in later bulletins.)

Jokes of the Week
Rice Bowl Reflection
Hungering to Give Back
This week, CRS Rice Bowl takes us to Laos, where
Hongkham is using her love of cooking to provide for
her family—and feed an entire school. How do we use
our passions and gifts for the betterment of those we
meet? Visit crsricebowl.org for more.
LentenPrayer of the Week
Savior and Lord,
after busy hours of teaching and healing,
You often withdrew to a desolate place
or a mountaintop to pray alone.
After spending time in prayer,
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6
years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she
asked, “Are you a cop?” “Yes” I answered and continued writing the report.
“My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask
the police. Is that right?” “Yes, that’s right,” I told her.
“Well, then,” she said as she extended her foot toward me, “would you please tie my shoe?”
A little girl had just finished her first week of
school.
“I’m just wasting my time,” she said to her mother,
“I can’t read, I can’t write, and they won’t let me talk!”
Spread the Gospel, the Good News
about Jesus and His Borromeo Family.
A Holy Community through Holy Communion!
Your brother in Jesus,
to love and serve those You came to save.
Lord Jesus,
help me to walk in love as You walked.
When my prayers are finished,
strengthen me by Your Spirit
to return refreshed to my daily work.
Amen.

Laos—Hungering to Give Back
Hongkham lives close to where she grew up in Nongdeune, Laos,
with her husband and their five boys. Her husband is a farmer, and
her family relied on his crops for food and income. When Hongkham’s husband got sick, the
family had to sell a lot of what they owned-including their land—to pay for medicine. Soon,
the family faced real hunger.
Then Hongkham found an opportunity to use her love of cooking to help her family and community through CRS’ school
literacy and hunger program. She volunteers as a cook at her children’s school, which provides free school lunches for students, literacy training for teachers and principals, and nutrition training. Hongkham uses that training in the school kitchen-and when she’s cooking for her family at home.
She also receives a monthly ration of food to take home, which helps her family grow and thrive. But the best part about
CRS’ program is that students are learning to read and write. Hongkham says that before the program started, students
would go home and often wouldn’t return for afternoon classes, but now, students return to school after morning classes
to receive their free and nutritious lunch. She even sees the change in her own children—in their studies and their health.
Good nutrition has made a real difference in the lives of the people of Laos.
Facts to Consider:
■ Laos is a small, landlocked country of almost 7 million people.
■ The country is one of the poorest in Southeast Asia, without adequate education, health services or infrastructure to support the development of its people.
■ Catholic Relief Services works with the Laos government to ensure that children with disabilities have support and access
to basic education.
Catholic Social Teaching: Rights and Responsibilities
As human beings, we have the right to live and grow in peace. Because we have that right, we have the responsibility to make
sure others, too, enjoy the same opportunity.,
Let us pray: For people around the world who are hungry, especially children, that they receive the nutritious food they need
to live healthy, productive lives.

The St. Charles Borromeo Journey
1813—1817
In 1817 a case of attempted land fraud pitted St. Charles Borromeo’s uneducated
laymen against two Eastern newcomers, Andrew Wilson and Uriah J. Devore.
The land in question was the northern half of Block 15, bounded by Main, Jackson, and Tompkins streets and the Missouri River. This lot had been claimed by
the parish since the 1780s and had contained buildings used for church purposes.
Only a cross marked it as church property in 1817; by then it was also the site of
the public jail. In December 1813, Wilson bought the southern half of Block 15,
paid $400, and built a house. Devore, serving at various times as innkeeper, ferryboat operator, and sheriff, owned a lot close to the log church on Block 28. As
sheriff, he undoubtedly used the jail on
parish property.
On December 6, 1816, having found out Borromeo lacked written title to both
Block 15 and Block 28, Wilson and Devore visited the widow and two daughters of Joseph Chancellier who had originally orally conveyed the property to
Borromeo. The three women were unable to read or write and spoke only
French. Claiming that they wished to confirm Joseph Chancellier’s conveyance
to the parish, they offered the women $40 and asked them to sign at the bottom of a long document written in English. The women accepted and scrawled
their cross-shaped marks. The document was really a deed, granting to Wilson
and Devore all the women’s right not just to the Block 15 lot, but also to the
site of the log church on Block 28. Probably anticipating problems, Wilson and
Devore had added a clause allowing the parish to continue using Block 28.
When Borromeo’s senior marguillier, Gabriel Latreille, learned what had happened, he had the women deed their interest in the properties back to the parish. At some point, Latreille must have realized that they needed help. Although he was a civic leader and enjoyed a fine reputation around St. Charles,
he could neither read nor write. He went to St. Louis for assistance and retained a young real estate attorney named Thomas Hart Benton. He filed suit
in June of 1817, seeking to establish Borromeo’s good title.
Map of locations of early Church buildings
Apparently, the parish won the case. A document date June 7, 1817, from the parish file at the Jesuit archives in St. Louis
asserts that an Act of Congress in 1812 vested title of the parish land to the inhabitants of the town, meaning that the Creole women legally had nothing to convey to Wilson and Devore. In December 1817, Devore and his wife sold their lot
next to the log church and deeded back to the parish his controversial claim to Block 15. Wilson stubbornly retained his
claim to Block 15 for the rest of his life. After he died his debt- ridden estate was probated and his remaining real estate
sold at public auction. Among the interest sold was his claim to the northern half of Block 15. The buyers were two Jesuits who represented St. Charles Borromeo. Because Wilson’s claim was so baseless, the sale price was $35 or $5 less then
what he and Devore had paid to the illiterate heirs of Joseph Chancellier over thirty years earlier.

Year of Mercy—Visiting Nursing Homes and the Homebound
During the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis has carried out two concrete signs of witness to God’s mercy in Rome so far:
—opening the “Door of Charity” in a homeless shelter and celebrating Mass there in December,
—and on one afternoon in January, visiting a retirement home and a care home for those living in vegetative states.
You may wish to follow the Pope’s example and perform an Act of Mercy each month by visiting one of our parishioners
living in a nursing home or by visiting one of our homebound parishioners. If you are interested and need help identifying a parishioner to visit, please contact Mary Kutchback at 636-946-9758.

Ser embajadores, no dialogar con el demonio, cariñoterapia, la Ley del Señor y la herencia de la oración
fueron algunas de las reflexiones que nos dejó el Papa
Francisco de su viaje por tierra mexicana.
13 de febrero: Homilía en la Basílica de Guadalupe: El pedido
de Nuestra Madre María de Guadalupe a Juan Diego de ser su
embajador, ese pedido es para ti y para mí, y como podemos ser
sus embajadores: “dando de comer al hambriento, dando de
beber al sediento, da lugar al necesitado, viste al desnudo y visita
al enfermo, socorre al que está preso, no lo dejes solo, perdona
al que te lastimo, consuela al que está triste, tené paciencia con
los demás y especialmente pide y ruega a nuestro Dios; acaso no
estoy yo aquí que soy tu madre, ve a construir mi santuario ayúdame a levantar la vida de mis hijos que son tus hermanos…
14 de febrero: Homilía del Primer domingo de Cuaresma en
Ecatepec: Como hacer frente a las tentaciones. Hemos optado
por Jesús y no por el demonio. Si nos acordamos lo que escucha-
mos en el Evangelio, Jesús no le contesta al demonio con ninguna palabra propia sino que le contesta con las palabra de Dios
con las palabra de la escritura. Porque hermanos y hermanas
metámoslo en la cabeza con el demonio no se dialoga, no se
pueda dialogar porque nos va a ganar siempre, solamente la
fuerza de la Palabra de Dios lo puede derrotar. Hemos optado
por Jesús y no por el demonio.
14 de febrero, Hospital Pediátrico Federico Gómez: Tan impor-
tante la cariñoterapia, tan importante. A veces una caricia ayuda
tanto a recuperarse. ¿Conocen al indio Juan Diego ustedes? A
ver, levante la mano quién lo conoce. Todos. Cuando el tío de
Juanito estaba enfermo, él estaba muy preocupado y angustiado.
En ese momento, se aparece la Virgencita de Guadalupe y le
dice: «No se turbe tu corazón ni te inquiete cosa alguna ¿No
estoy yo aquí, que soy tu Madre?». Juan Diego recibe y da ese
cariño que se necesita en momentos difíciles…
15 de febrero Homilía en San Cristóbal de las casa con las comunidades indígenas: Li smantal Kajvaltike toj lek – la ley del Señor
es perfecta del todo y reconforta el alma, así comenzaba el salmo que hemos escuchado. La ley del Señor es perfecta; y el salmista se encarga de enumerar todo lo que esa ley genera al que
la escucha y la sigue: reconforta el alma, hace sabio al sencillo,
alegra el corazón, es luz para alumbrar el camino.

16 de febrero Homilía con sacerdotes y religiosos en Morelia:
Hay un dicho que dice así: “Dime cómo rezas y te diré cómo
vives, dime cómo vives y te diré cómo rezas, porque mostrándome cómo rezas, aprenderé a descubrir el Dios que vives y, mostrándome cómo vives, aprenderé a creer en el Dios al que rezas”; porque nuestra vida habla de la oración y la oración habla
de nuestra vida. A rezar se aprende, como aprendemos a caminar, a hablar, a escuchar. La escuela de la oración es la escuela de
la vida y en la escuela de la vida es donde vamos haciendo la
escuela de la oración. Con estas palabras nos exhorta a tomar la
herencia de la oración recibida en la familia y hacer de ella un
hábito que se puede ir mejorando con la práctica.
16 de febrero en Morelia, Encuentro con los jóvenes en Morelia:.
…ustedes son la riqueza de esta tierra y digo la riqueza y ahora
la tenemos que convertir en esperanza…, no todo está perdido,
no estoy perdido, yo valgo, yo valgo mucho… cada uno se contesta en su corazón, ¿es verdad que no todo está perdido?, yo
¿estoy perdido, estoy perdida?, ¿yo valgo? ¿Valgo poco, valgo
mucho? Una amenaza a esa riqueza es la desvalorización de uno
o hacerte creer que empezás a ser valioso cuando te disfrazas de
ropa, marcas del último grito de la moda o cuando te volvés
importante porque tenés dinero pero en el fondo tu corazón no
cree que seas digno de cariño, digno de amor…, vos vales mucho y de la mano de Jesucristo es posible creer que la vida vale
la pena, que podemos dar lo mejor. Sean luz en medio de sus
amigos, de sus barrios, de su comunidad, en medio de la familia".
El Pontífice celebró una Eucaristía el 17 de febrero en el área de
la Feria de Ciudad Juárez. “El Papa fue a orar en la frontera y
por eso escogió este lugar para la Santa Misa, porque él comenzó la celebración de la Eucaristía con un momento de oración,
de rodillas ante ese muro que se ha construido como signo de
rechazo a los migrantes; para orar que como creyentes, como
cristianos, como católicos colaboremos con Dios (…) en construir
no muros de indiferencia, de rechazo, sino puentes de comunión
en la fe, en la esperanza, en el amor, en la solidaridad”.

El Camino de St. Charles Borromeo
1813—1817
En 1817 un caso de atentado de fraude de tierra, fue enfrentado por unos hombres
incultos de St. Charles Borromeo contra dos hombres recién llegados del este, Andrew
Wilson y Uriah. J Devore. La tierra en cuestión era la mitad del norte de la cuadra 15,
embarcada por las calles Principal, Jackson, y Tompkins, y el Río Missouri. Esta propiedad había sido reclamada por la Iglesia desde los 1780s, y tenía edificios usados por
cuestiones de la Iglesia. Solo una Cruz marcaba que era propiedad de la Iglesia en 1817;
para entonces también era lugar de la policía pública. En Diciembre 1813, Wilson compró parte del sur de esta misma cuadra 15, pago $400, y construyó una casa. Devore,
ayudaba en varias veces como operador de barcos, Jefe de policía del condado, era
dueño de un lote cerca de la iglesia de cabaña en la cuadra 28. Como jefe de Policía
indudablemente usaba la cárcel en la propiedad de la Iglesia.
El 6 de diciembre de 1816, habiendo encontrado que Borromeo carecía de un título
escrito tanto de la cuadra 15 como la 28, Wilson y Devore visitó a la viuda y dos
hijas de José Chancellier que vervalmente había dado la propiedad a Borromeo. Las
tres mujeres no podían leer o escribir y sólo hablaban francés. Alegando que deseaba confirmar la conducción de José Chancellier a la parroquia, les ofrecieron a las
mujeres $40 y les pidió que firmaran en la parte inferior de un largo documento
escrito en inglés. Las mujeres aceptaron y firmaron sus marcas en forma de cruz. El
documento fue realmente una escritura, dando todo derecho a Wilson y Devore no
sólo a la gran cantidad de la cuadra 15, sino también para el sitio de la iglesia cabaña
en la cuadra 28. Probablemente sabiendo que tal vez habría problemas más tarde,
Wilson y Devore habían añadido una cláusula que permitía que la parroquia continuara utilizando la cuadra 28.
Cuando el marguillier superior de Borromeo, Gabriel Latreille, supo lo que había
sucedido, el logro que las mujeres dieran las escritura de las propiedades nuevamente a la parroquia. En algún momento, Latreille debe haberse dado cuenta que necesitaban ayuda. Aunque fue un líder cívico y disfrutaron de una excelente reputación
alrededor de St. Charles, no podía leer ni escribir. Se dirigió a St. Louis para asistencia y retuvo a un abogado joven de inmobiliario llamado a Thomas Hart Benton.
Él presentó una demanda en junio de 1817, tratando de establecer el título a Borromeo.
Al parecer, la parroquia ganó el caso. Un documento con fecha de 7 de junio de 1817, en el archivo parroquial jesuita en
St. Louis, afirma que un acto del Congreso en 1812 confiere título de las tierras de la parroquia a los habitantes de la ciudad, lo que significa que las mujeres criollas tenían legalmente nada que transmitir a Wilson y Devore. En diciembre de
1817, Devore y su esposa vendieron su porción junto a la iglesia de la cabaña y transferidos de vuelta a la parroquia su
polémica afirmación de la cuadra 15. Wilson mantuvo obstinadamente su afirmación de la cuadra 15 por el resto de su
vida. Después de su muerte su propiedades y su gran deuda, fue legalizada y sus restantes bienes y raíces fueron vendidas
en subasta pública. Entre lo vendido fue su afirmación de la mitad norte de la cuadra 15. Los compradores fueron dos
jesuitas que representaban a St. Charles Borromeo. Porque el reclamo de Wilson era tan infundado, el precio de venta
fue de $35, es decir $5 menos y lo que él y Devore habían pagado a las herederas analfabetas de José Chancellier más de
treinta años antes.

WE THANK EACH OF YOU
for the great love you show to our Borromeo Family carrying on the work of Jesus and to those in need by the generosity you display when you share your Treasure, and all
God’s gifts to you, given for others.
“I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession.”
(Genesis 15:7)
Just as the Lord gave Abraham, Moses and the Israelites
a land to possess, He has also given each of us a home.
Whether our home is grand or humble, it is a gift from
God. Abraham prepared a great sacrifice to the Lord in
gratitude for the home God gave him. How do we
show our gratitude to God for the home He has given
us? Do we make a sacrifice of any kind? Do we return
any of our finances to God, investing equally in our eternal home just as we invest in our earthly home?
We pray that we be good stewards of the earth and our
environment and wisely use its natural resources.
Please complete the form and return with your check by March 2. Please put it in an envelope marked “Easter flowers.”
Envelopes are also available in the Narthex.

On this second Sunday of Lent we remember that Lent offers us a special opportunity to grow in our relationship with
Jesus and to deepen our commitment to a way of life, rooted in our baptism. In today’s busy world, Lent provides us
with an opportunity to reflect upon our patterns, to pray more deeply, experience sadness for what we've done and
failed to do, and to be generous to others.
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated on April 14 at 7:00pm in Church.
In the love and peace of Jesus, Mrs. Becca McCullough

Lenten Family Reflection
As human beings, we have the right to live and grow in
peace. Because we have that right, we have the responsibility to make sure others enjoy the same opportunity
too.
■
God makes a promise to Abraham and his descendants; God and Abraham have a responsibility to live
up to that promise.
How do we uphold our responsibility to promises
we have made to God and others?
■
Paul reminds us that “our citizenship is in heaven.”
God loves all people—all citizens of that heavenly
home—equally.
What kinds of rights and responsibilities does that
citizenship imply?
■
This week, CRS Rice Bowl features a woman from
Laos who, recognizing the needs of her family and
her own unique gifts, uses her love of cooking to
feed her children—and an entire school.
How are we called to use our own unique gifts for
the betterment of others?
Please pray for our expectant moms:
Mary (February) Heather, Katelyn, Victoria (April)
Nicole (May) Katie (June) Jessica (July)
K’Lee (August)

Thanks from FISH
Thank you so very much for your generous gifts of food in January. You provided a total of 487 items for our pantry.
Our mission is to provide basic necessities of not only food but also clothing, shoes, kitchen supplies, and linens if they are requested by
the referring agency. First time referrals, who have no idea of what help is provided. are often stunned when they first see the cart load
of food they are receiving. Your donations are making this possible.
Thank you, friends, for all you do.
