Fifth Sunday of Lent
Do you have three hours for
Christ?
He had three hours for you.
Who is Jesus? Today most people agree that Jesus was a
historical figure, a first-century Jew who was crucified by
the Romans in the city of Jerusalem. Many would even
agree that he offered some good moral teachings such as
“love your neighbor,” “turn the other cheek,” and “don’t
judge.” However, the idea that Jesus is not just a moral or
spiritual teacher, but God himself, is as controversial now
as it was in Jesus’ own time. It’s much easier to put Jesus
into the same category as Buddha, or Mohammed, or
Confucius –a spiritual messenger, a prophet, a
philosopher, but certainly not divine.
However, that is exactly what Christians profess in the
Creed –“I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only
Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.”
Jesus is not just someone sent from God; he himself is “God
from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father.”
This is not just something the early Christians invented.
Jesus himself made the claim to divinity. If Jesus is not
God, then, as C.S. Lewis famously noted, he is either a liar
or a madman. But the fact that he did say that he was God,
the I AM of the Old Testament, means that each of us is
challenged to make a decision about what we believe. The
question Jesus asked the apostles, “But who do you say that
I am?” (Mark 8:29) is the same question he asks each of us
throughout the centuries. How we answer his question
makes all the difference for our lives. It is the fundamental
decision each one of us must make –a decision that will last
throughout eternity.
Curious about how Jesus, the second person of the Trinity,
took on human nature without losing his divine nature?
Whether you are new to our church and would like to start
a journey to full communion into the Catholic Church or
whether you are just looking to deepen your knowledge of
the Church and your relationship with God, we invite you
to join us for Symbolon. Classes begin the first Wednesday
Easter, April 8th. There will be a 10AM and a 6PM session.
Space is limited so take that first step of faith and call the
office to register. Registration for this session will close
March 25th, 541 884-4566.
The Three Hours' Agony or Tre Ore is
a liturgical service held on Good Friday
from noon until 3 o'clock to
commemorate the Passion of Christ.
Specifically, it refers to the three hours
that Jesus hung on the Cross and includes a series of
homilies on the seven last words of Christ.
Father Barron was invited by Timothy Cardinal Dolan to
preside over the Tre Ore service at St. Patrick's Cathedral
in New York, and the content of his presentation will be
featured on Good Friday, April 3 here at Sacred Heart.
We will start with traditional Stations of the Cross at noon
until 1PM and then listen from 1:00PM – 3:00PM to Fr
Baron’s short homilies on the seven last words of Christ as
he hung on the cross.

“Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.”
“I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
“Woman, behold your son.” “Behold your mother.”
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
“I thirst”
“Father into your hands I commend my spirit”
“It is finished.”
Allow the gravity and glory of Christ's crucifixion to bring
you ever closer to Him. If you are unable to join us for the
full three hours, feel free to come and go as necessary.

33 Days to Morning Glory
For our fourth and final full week we
focused on the example and words of
another great teacher of Marian
consecration: St. Pope John Paul II “The
most Marian Pope,” as he’s been called
profoundly deepened the Church’s
understanding of Marian consecration.
Building on the work of the Second
Vatican Council, he provided us with a thoroughly biblical
treatment of Marian consecration – which he also calls
“entrustment”- and hones in on the idea that its Mary’s role
to lead us into the mystery of Christ’s redeeming love and
self-consecration to the Father.
As we move into our final five days we will reflect on the
previous weeks and after the review, we’ll find a syntheses
of what we’ve learned in a single formula of consecration
that aims to capture the essence of Marian consecration.
Anyone who would like to pray the prayer of consecration
may join together to pray:
The Consecration Prayer at both the
6PM Tues Evening Mass on March 24th
or
8AM Mass on The Annunciation, Wed, March 25
The rosary will be prayed one half hour before each Mass.
Coffee and home baked goodies will be provided after the
Wednesday 8AM mass, in the Parish Hall.
The consecration prayer will be printed out on card stock,
in English and Spanish and will be available to all who
have read the book.

Amanecer
Para nuestra cuarta y última semana
completa nos centramos en el
ejemplo y las palabras de otro gran
maestro de la consagración mariana:
San Juan Pablo II. “El Papa más
mariano”, como ha sido llamado,
ahondo profundamente la comprensión de la Iglesia sobre
la consagración mariana. Tomando como base el proyecto
rigurosamente bíblico de la consagración mariana – a la
que también refiere como a una “confiada entrega” – y se
concentra en la idea de que el papel de María es
conducirnos al interior del misterio del amor redentor de
Cristo y a la consagración de uno mismo al Padre.
Las clases comienzan el primer jueves después la Pascua, 9
de abril, en el Salón Parroquial a las 7:00 PM. Póngase en
contacto con el Padre Roga o Ana Ratliff para obtener más
información acerca de la clase en 541.884.4566.
A medida que avanzamos en nuestros últimos cinco días
vamos a reflexionar sobre las semanas anteriores y después
de la revisión, vamos a encontrar una síntesis de lo que
hemos aprendido en una sola fórmula de consagración que
busca captar la esencia de la consagración mariana.
