There are more than 700 references to water in Holy Scripture, but as we begin our Lenten journeys, our concentration needs to be on our own Baptism and our personal Baptismal call. Stewardship has been defined as our response to that Baptismal call through discipleship and service. Just as Jesus entered the desert for 40 days, we are doing the same during Lent. Defining our Baptismal call is part of what we should be striving to do at this time. Baptism calls us to a sense of mission. Another key word in today’s scripture is “covenant.” The reading from Genesis speaks to God’s covenant with us, His people. A covenant, nevertheless, is a two-way street. God has blessed us with the Holy Spirit and the Lord has promised us everlasting life if we fulfill His desires. It is time for us to discover how we are going to live out our covenant with God.

PARISH SCHOOL Saturday: Sunday: Daily Mass: Reconciliation: @FATIMACHURCHSC STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 22 / REFLEXIÓN DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA LA SEMANA DEL 22 DE FEBRERO PARISH OFFICE Fr. Jim Ries, Pastor [email protected] / ext. 111 OLF is on Twitter our lady of fatima parish No es ninguna sorpresa que el agua literalmente corre entre todas las lecturas en este Primer Domingo de Cuaresma-desde las abundantes aguas que experimentado por Noah en Génesis, a San Pedro comparando el Bautismo a esas abundantes aguas, a Jesus arriesgandose en el desierto por 40 dias inmediatamente despues de Su Bautizo, a lo que fue reportado por San Marcos. Hay más de 700 referencias hacia el agua en las Sagradas Escrituras, pero mientras empezamos nuestra Jornada de Cuaresma, nuestra concentración tiene que estar en nuestro propio Bautismo y nuestro llamado Bautismal personal. La corresponsabilidad ha sido definido como nuestra respuesta a ese llamado Bautismal a través del discipulado y el servicio. Así como Jesús entró al desierto por 40 días, estaremos haciendo lo mismo durante la Cuaresma. Definir nuestro llamado Bautismal es parte de lo que tenemos que tratar de hacer en este tiempo. El Bautismo nos llama a sentir nuestra misión. Otra palabra clave en las lectoras de hoy es “pacto.” Las lecturas de Génesis nos habla del pacto de Dios con nosotros, Su gente. Un pacto no es ni más ni menos que una calle de dos vías. Dios nos a bendecido con las Sagradas Escrituras y el Señor nos a prometido vida eterna si cumplinos su deceos. Es tiempo de descubrir cómo vamos a vivir nuestro pacto con Dios. PUEDE LEER MAS EN WWW.THECATHOLICSTEWARD.COM FEBRUARY 22, 2015 / 22 DE FEBRERO, 2015 f r o m o u r pa sto r , fr. James C. Ries Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/ Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, In Matthew, Mark and Luke we are given variations of the temptation in the desert. In Matthew and Luke we see the story flushed out more, but in Mark it’s simple and to the point. Sometimes we need to be challenged in this way. Jesus was driven into the desert; he resisted temptation and came back preaching the Gospel. MASS INTENTIONS/INTENCIONES What if we tried to live like this? If we just did it? I remember when Luke Skywalker was all depressed because he couldn’t raise his X-wing fighter out of the swamp. He reluctantly says, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.” To which Yoda replies, “No, try not. Do… or do not. There is no try.” MONDAY 2/23 I either resist or I don’t. Trying to resist is the same as not resisting. We have all begun a journey into our deserts, where we will be tempted. We can try to resist temptation or we resist temptation, like Jesus, so we can go forth boldly preaching the Gospel. THURSDAY 2/26 Thursday Night Confessions: 7:00 PM February 26, March 5, and March 26 (in the church) SATURDAY 2/28 God bless you all! Fr. Jim En Mateo, Marcos y Lucas se nos da variaciones de la tentación en el desierto. En Mateo y Lucas vemos la historia más pasajera, pero en Marcos es simple y al punto. A veces tenemos que ser retados es esta forma. Jesúss fue llevado hacia el desierto; resistio la tentacion y regreso predicando el Evangelio. ¿Que si intentamos vivir asi? Si solamente lo hicieramos? Recuerdo cuando Luke Skywalker estaba deprimido porque no podía levantar su nave fuera de un pantano. Dijo desconfiadamente, “Esta bien, lo intentare.” A lo que Yoda contesta, “No, no intentes...haslo o no. No hay un intentaremos. Resisto o no. Tratar de resistir es lo mismo a no resistir. Hemos empezado nuestra jornada en nuestros desiertos, donde seremos tentados. Podemos intentar de resistir la tentación o resistir la tentación , como Jesus, para que vayamos valientemente a predicar el Evangelio.

Use them for your personal reflection throughout the week or as a topic of conversation at your dinner table, ministry meeting or your next social gathering. Carrying the Sunday readings into our week is a way to help us grow in our faith as individuals and as a parish. ENTER BOLDLY INTO THE DESERT ENTRAR VALIENTEMENTE AL DESIERTO 1. How do you understand your Baptismal covenant? ¿Qué estás renunciando para la Cuaresma? ¿Es el chocolate o tiempo en la computadora? Tal vez has prometido ser más paciente con tu familia o compañeros de trabajo. ¿Has pensado en cómo vans a responder a las inevitables tentaciones que vendrán a lo largo? Al comenzar los cuarenta días de la Cuaresma, el Evangelio nos recuerda que Jesús mismo no se salvó de las tentaciones. El pacto de Dios lo sostuvo del mismo modo que nos sostendrá para que podamos perseverar en nuestro propio desierto personal. 2. How have you experienced God’s renewal? 1. ¿Cómo entiendes tu pacto bautismal? 3. What is one lesson you have learned by persevering through temptations? 2. ¿Cómo has experimentado la renovación de Dios? What are you giving up for Lent? Is it chocolate or computer time? Perhaps you’ve promised to be more patient with your family or coworkers. Have you thought about how you will respond to the inevitable temptations that will come along? As we begin the forty days of Lent, the Gospel reminds us that Jesus himself was not spared of temptations. God’s covenant sustained Him just as it will sustain us so that we may persevere in our own personal desert. 3. ¿Cuál es una de las lecciones que has aprendido perseverando a través de las tentaciones?
