If you have a registered parishioner to add to our
prayer list, please contact the executive assistant in the
parish office. Please let us know when it is time to
remove a name from the list. Please inscribe the
names of non-parishioners (e.g. family members,
friends, neighbors, co-workers) in the prayer intention
book found in the church vestibule. Please inscribe
their name only once as their needs will be
remembered at Masses throughout the year.
If you are hospitalized or homebound and would like
to receive Communion, please call Andy Kudarauskas
at 843-705-3435.
You may also contact someone from the Eucharistic
Apostles of Divine Mercy who will pray the Chaplet of
Divine Mercy or other prayers with you. Please call
Lillian Pente at 843-705-7170
The license plate on a friend’s car reads “56789.”
When someone asked him about it, he said, “Those are
the commandments I’m good at.” We all had a laugh
but, in truth, the commandments bear deeper reflection.
To pretend that our obedience of the Ten
Commandments is limited to the literal words
themselves is spiritually shallow. We may not have
killed someone, but have we ever thought how much
better it would be if someone weren’t in our workplace
or school? Have we ever hated someone with a passion
that interferes with our actions?
We may not have stolen
something from a retail store,
but have we ever taken anything
that doesn’t belong to us—
ideas, supplies from work?
These don’t belong to us. Are
there ways in which we really
want what a friend has or fail to
remain faithful in body, mind and
spirit? The Ten Commandments impact us far more
than we realize.
In today’s gospel, Jesus demonstrates how far the
moneychangers in the temple area have strayed from
the true spirit of the worship of God. They probably
hadn’t given it much thought—it was the way they’d
always done business. But their action made things
difficult for others.
God demands a transformation that deals not only
with the wrong everyone can see, but with the subtle
ways we violate God’s laws and fail to love.
The middle of Lent is a good time for us to
examine—and repent of—all the ways in which we do
this.

“Would you not spend one hour with Me?”
Eucharistic Adoration is adoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ
Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel gives us an opportunity to spend an hour of prayer and give thanks for
the many blessings we have received. This hour in peace and meditation with the Blessed Sacrament
can also be an opportunity to pray for our friends and family who are sick or just need our prayers.
Christ instituted this Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain with mankind until the end of time (Jn.
14:18).
Our wish is to have someone present for each of the 24 hours throughout the day in silent
contemplation and reflection. We can use more adorers for this ministry. Please be generous with your time and
sign up for one hour of adoration.
If you have any questions or feel you can sign up for just one hour per week please call John Klinger
757-7454 or send an email to [email protected].
ADORACIÓN
TERCER DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
CAMINO A LA LIBERTAD
La mayoría de nosotros, si nos preguntaran “¿Aparece la frase ‘los Diez Mandamientos’
en la Biblia?” daríamos la respuesta errónea, pues la respuesta es “no”. “Los diez
mandamientos” es una frase post bíblica, que se desarrolló junto con una imagen de Dios
como ‘policía’ la cual no se encuentra en el pasaje de hoy del libro del Éxodo. La primera
frase es clave: Dios es el que nos sacó de la esclavitud; cumplir las leyes o mandamientos
de Dios es nuestro camino a la libertad. Los cambistas a quienes Jesús echó del templo no
estaban violando ninguno de los mandamientos, pero tampoco estaban ayudando a la
gente a encontrar el camino hacia la libertad de Dios cuando llegaban al Templo a rezar. Esta es una lección de la
Cuaresma importante para nosotros. Tenemos que dejar de preguntarnos si estamos o no violando alguna regla o
reglamento específico, y en cambio examinar nuestra vida para ver si verdaderamente estamos siguiendo un
camino hacia la libertad de Dios por medio de Cristo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El Nuevo Testamento nos asegura que Jesús
comprende nuestra naturaleza humana (Hebreos 2:1718). Él sabe bien lo que es ser humano porque, según
la doctrina cristiana, siendo verdaderamente Dios, es
humano plena y verdaderamente. Tanto amó Dios al
mundo que tomó totalmente nuestra condición humana.
Según el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica esto lo hizo
para salvarnos del pecado, sanarnos de la enfermedad/
muerte, mostrarnos su amor, ser nuestro modelo de
santidad y hacernos partícipes de su divinidad.
Estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios,
pero el pecado opaca esta imágen. Como una muestra
del amor del Padre, el Hijo se encarnó por obra del
Espíritu Santo en el seno de María Virgen, para así
renovar en nosotros la imágen de Dios y llevarnos
nuevamente a la inocencia original. Dios es Trino y
Uno, tres personas en un sólo Dios. El ser humano
también es trino. Cuerpo, alma y espíritu (1
Tesalonicenses 5:23) forman una sola persona que es
corporal, reflexiva y trascendente. Así como el Padre,
Hijo y Espíritu Santo trabajan juntos, el cuerpo, alma y
espíritu de la persona buscan colaborar para seguir al
Hijo de Dios que se hizo uno de nosotros.

FAITH FORMATION
PARISH RETREAT WEEKEND
SPONSORED BY:
CHRIST RENEWS HIS PARISH
Making a retreat involves a sacrifice for nearly everyone.
Who has the time? Nevertheless, every year busy people
do make a retreat. They feel the need to take time out, to
think about their life and their relationship with God. Not a
luxury for a pious few, retreats are really needed by all of
us.
St. Gregory the Great conducts a retreat weekend twice a
year under the spiritual direction of Deacon Greg Sams,
Director of Renewal Ministries, and member of our
Parish. The retreats begin Saturday morning, include an
overnight, and end Sunday afternoon. The next Women’s
Retreat is scheduled for March 21st to 22nd also at St.
Andrew. Detailed brochures are available at the back of
the Church and at the entrance to the Adoration Chapel.
For additional information or questions, please contact
Deacon Greg Sams at (843) 384-9336 or
Saint Gregory the Great Youth

As a group, we discuss relevant topics that we are
constantly faced with. Please join us. We hope to
see you there and feel free to contact me if you have
any questions.

PARISH LIFE
2015 Lenten Parish Mission
Monday, March 23 through
Wednesday March 25
Presenter: Father John Anglin, OFM
Father John was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts where he entered the friars after
graduating from high school. He was ordained in 1971 and obtained a Masters in Religious
Education from the Catholic University of America in 1974. In 1992 he received a certificate in
homiletics from the Aquinas Institute in St. Louis.
Since ordination, Father John has served in various ministries including high school teaching,
parish ministry, the formation of candidates to the friars, marriage encounter and two years as a
missionary in Bolivia. He has been with the Ministry of the Word since 1987 and has conducted
over 400 parish missions and presented many retreats for priests and sisters. Fr. John has also
recently published a book entitled “The Wandering Friar,” which will be available during the
mission. The book paints a picture of the church through the eyes of the many people and places
that Fr. John has served over the years.
Fr. John speaks Spanish as well as Italian. Some of his interests are bicycling riding, movies
and is an avid follower of all the Boston sports teams.
