MISSION STATEMENT:
“The permanent quality of this church dedicated to St. Joseph reminds us that
Christ will remain with his People until mortal time ceases. It will be to this
church that parishioners will bring their lives filled with both joy and sorrows
and join them to Christ, who offers the perfect sacrifice to the Father. It will be
from this church that Grace of the Sacrament will radiate for the building-up of
the kingdom and for the sanctification of souls. It will be at this church where
people will find nourishment and strength, communion and peace, unity and
friendship.” John Cardinal O’Connor.

“Christian marriage, like the other sacraments,
“whose purpose is to sanctify people, to build up the
body of Christ, and finally, to give worship to God,”
is in itself a liturgical action glorifying God in Jesus
Christ and in the Church” Saint John Paul II

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT
First Reading: Genesis 9:8-15
God made a promise to Noah that he would never again
devastate the entire planet with a flood. He also told Noah
that the symbol of this promise would be a rainbow in the
clouds.
Second Reading: 1 Peter 3:18-22
This letter from Peter reminds all people that Christ died for
us so that we might be led to God. We have been saved by
our baptism; not a physical cleansing, but a promise to
continually strive to obey God.
Gospel: Mark 1:12-15
Mark briefly tells of Jesus’ stay in the desert, where he was
tested by Satan. He did not give in to temptation, but
reappeared in Galilee to proclaim the good news.
We embarked on the Lenten
journey, listening to the identical words addressed to us as
ashes were placed on our foreheads. Our rich traditions and
spiritual customs are designed to lead us to God. What began on Wednesday is directed to the Paschal Mystery, the
passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.
As I begin this first week of the Holy Season I want to look at
myself and live with a clear conscience. Surely there is something to be found which requires remedial action, change or
conversion. I can kid myself and presume that everything is
in order. If it is, wonderful, but where is there need for improvement?
We go to a doctor for a check up, often are sent to a specialist for further study, who proposes a series of tests. Although they do not want to alarm us, they have our best interest at heart. Only a foolish person would not pursue their
directive.
How is my spiritual health? My need at this time is to look
and take my spiritual well-being seriously. Christ’s suffering
in the words of Peter is to lead me to God.

EXCERPT FROM POPE FRANCIS’S MESSAGE FOR LENT 2015
If one member suffers, all suffer together” (1 Cor 12:26) – The
Church
The love of God breaks through that fatal withdrawal into ourselves which is indifference. The Church offers us this love of
God by her teaching and especially by her witness. But we can
only bear witness to what we ourselves have experienced.
Christians are those who let God clothe them with goodness
and mercy, with Christ, so as to become, like Christ, servants of
God and others. This is clearly seen in the liturgy of Holy Thursday, with its rite of the washing of feet. Peter did not want
Jesus to wash his feet, but he came to realize that Jesus does
not wish to be just an example of how we should wash one
another’s feet. Only those who have first allowed Jesus to
wash their own feet can then offer this service to others. Only
they have “a part” with him (Jn 13:8) and thus can serve others.
Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we
in turn may become more like him. This happens whenever
we hear the word of God and receive the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. There we become what we receive: the Body
of Christ. In this body there is no room for the indifference
which so often seems to possess our hearts. For whoever is of
Christ, belongs to one body, and in him we cannot be indifferent to one another. “If one part suffers, all the parts suffer
with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy” (1
Cor 12:26).
The Church is the communio sanctorum not only because of
her saints, but also because she is a communion in holy
things: the love of God revealed to us in Christ and all his gifts.
Among these gifts there is also the response of those who let
themselves be touched by this love. In this communion of
saints, in this sharing in holy things, no one possesses anything
alone, but shares everything with others. And since we are
united in God, we can do something for those who are far distant, those whom we could never reach on our own, because
with them and for them, we ask God that all of us may be open
to his plan of salvation.

Evangelio: San Marcos 1:12-15
Marcos brevemente cuenta de cuando Jesús estuvo en el
desierto, donde fué puesto a prueba por Satanás. No cedió a
la tentación, sino reapareció en Galilea para proclamar las
buenas nuevas.
Nos embarcamos en nuestra jornada de Cuaresma, escuchando las
idénticas palabras que se nos dirigen mientras se nos untan las
cenizas en nuestras frentes. Nuestras ricas costumbres y tradiciones espirituales están diseñadas para guiarnos a Dios. Lo que se comenzó en Miércoles
de Ceniza se relaciona al misterio Pascual, la pasión, muerte y
resurrección de Jesús.
Fecha: 28 de Febrero 2015
Hora: 7:30PM
Donde: Parroquia de San José
Todas los niños y sus familiares estan invitados.
La Misa sera celebrada en Español.
Mientras comienzo esta primera semana de la Epoca Santa,
quiero verme a mí mismo y vivir con una conciencia tranquila. Seguramente encontraremos algo que requiere enmienda, cambio o conversión. Puedo engañarme a mí mismo y
asumir que todo está en orden. Si lo está, qué bueno, pero
¿hay necesidad de mejoría?
MENSAGE CUARESMAL DEL PAPA FRANCISCO
Vamos al médico para un chequeo, muchas veces se nos
manda a un especialista para revisión más profunda, quien
propone una serie de exámenes. Aunque no desea alarmarnos, tiene las mejores intenciones. Sólo un tonto no seguiría
sus instrucciones.
¿Cómo está mi salud espiritual? Lo que necesito en este momento es ver y tomar mi bienestar espiritual seriamente.
Según las palabras de San Pedro, el sufrimiento de Cristo me
llevará a Dios.
La Cuaresma es un tiempo propicio para dejarnos
servir por Cristo y así llegar a ser como Él. Esto sucede
cuando escuchamos la Palabra de Dios y cuando recibimos los sacramentos, en particular la Eucaristía. En ella
nos convertimos en lo que recibimos: el cuerpo de Cristo. En él no hay lugar para la indiferencia, que tan a
menudo parece tener tanto poder en nuestros corazones. Quien es de Cristo pertenece a un solo cuerpo y
en Él no se es indiferente hacia los demás. «Si un
miembro sufre, todos sufren con él; y si un miembro es
honrado, todos se alegran con él» (1 Co 12,26).
Harmonie fragile
1ère lecture : Alliance de Dieu avec Noé qui a échappé au
déluge (Gn 9, 8-15)
Dieu dit à Noé et à ses fils : « Voici que moi, j’établis mon
alliance avec vous, avec votre descendance après vous, et
avec tous les êtres vivants...
Psaume : 24 (25), 4-5ab, 6-7bc, 8-9
R/ Tes chemins, Seigneur, sont amour et vérité pour qui
garde ton alliance.
Seigneur, enseigne-moi tes voies, fais-moi connaître ta
route. Dirige-moi par ta vérité, enseigne-moi, car tu es le
Dieu qui me sauve. Rappelle-toi, Seigneur, ta...
2ème lecture : Le baptême vous sauve maintenant
(1 P 3, 18-22)
Bien-aimés, le Christ, lui aussi, a souffert pour les péchés,
une seule fois, lui, le juste, pour les injustes, afin de vous
introduire devant Dieu ; il a été mis à mort dans la chair...
Evangile : « Jésus fut tenté par Satan, et les anges le servaient » (Mc 1, 12-15)
Jésus venait d’être baptisé. Aussitôt l’Esprit le pousse au
désert et, dans le désert, il resta quarante jours, tenté par
Satan. Il vivait parmi les bêtes sauvages...

CELEBRATION DE LA FETE DE
ST JOSEPH
19 MARS 2015 À 7 :00 PM A L’EGLISE
SUIVIE D’UNE RECEPTION A L’AUDITORIUM. VOUS ETES TOUS INVITES !
En lisant l’évangile de saint Marc,
on ne connaît pas le détail des
tentations auxquelles résiste Jésus. En revanche, l’évangéliste montre que deux éléments ne sont pas perturbés par
ces tentations. D’une part, il prend le temps d’évoquer les
bêtes sauvages, comme si le désert, loin d’être seulement
un lieu de privations, signifiait aussi l’harmonie d’une création réconciliée, puisque même les anges y participent.
D’autre part, il indique que le désert n’isole pas Jésus de
l’histoire des hommes car, en apprenant l’arrestation du
Baptiste, il va se laisser pleinement saisir par la proclamation de l’Évangile. Souci des éléments de la nature et annonce d’une Parole de salut au cœur de la vie humaine
structurent pleinement l’alliance avec Noé. L’arc-en-ciel
représente alors le signe fugace et lumineux du salut qui
s’inscrit dans notre monde, jusque dans les animaux et les
choses. Ce sauvetage d’un monde en péril est accessible
quand des libertés humaines consentent à la Parole et l’inscrivent dans leur existence concrète. Pour nous qui préparons la rénovation des promesses de notre baptême pendant la Veillée pascale, voilà que commence ce temps de
Carême. Il permet de prendre conscience de l’harmonie
fragile de la création, ainsi que des tentations qui perturbent notre disponibilité à la Parole. Et c’est vraiment notre
liberté qui est suscitée pendant cette période, pour accueillir la nouveauté chrétienne jusque dans notre corps et dans
notre univers. Vite, il reste moins de quarante jours pour
expérimenter cette fécondité renouvelée de la Parole et
l’inscrire au cœur de notre monde !
MESSAGE DU PAPE FRANÇOIS
POUR LE CARÊME 2015
Le Carême est un temps propice pour nous laisser servir
par le Christ et ainsi devenir comme lui. Cela advient
quand nous écoutons la Parole de Dieu et quand nous
recevons les sacrements, en particulier l’Eucharistie. Nous
devenons en elle ce que nous recevons : le Corps du Christ.
Dans ce corps, cette indifférence qui semble prendre si souvent le pouvoir sur nos cœurs, ne trouve pas de place. Puisque celui qui est du Christ appartient à un seul corps et en
lui personne n’est indifférent à l’autre. « Si un seul membre
souffre, tous les membres partagent sa souffrance ; si un
membre est à l’honneur, tous partagent sa joie » (1 Co 12,
26).
