THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
WORSHIP
ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL
Year Two: Focus on the Domestic Church –Marriage & Family
Jesus is encountered in daily life within the domestic church, so that the
Holy Spirit gently blows upon the faith of everyone in the family,
turning sparks to embers and embers to flame!
3rd Sunday of Lent
"While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, many began to
believe in his name when they saw the signs he was doing." How we
would love to see those signs! How easy it would be for us to believe if we too could witness Jesus healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, calming the storm. It's tempting to imagine that faith was a
simple thing back in those days. We might be inclined to think that
we don't have the same benefits as those first believers, and so faith
is harder in our day and age. But is it, really?
In truth, we have an advantage that none of those people had: two
thousand years of Church history! Two millennia of faithful, prayerful Christians believing in Jesus and spreading the Gospel; the collective witness of the saints--many of whom have also worked
"signs" in Jesus' name; the effects of the Church on culture and the
world through its schools, its hospitals, its spiritual movements, and
religious institutions; the unbroken line of apostolic succession that
traces back to the time of Christ. Just the fact alone that the Church
is still alive and well in spite of all of its sinful members ought to be
miracle enough for us.
But even with all of this testimony, it's important to remember that
seeing signs and believing in Jesus are not the same thing. Even
those who witnessed Jesus' miracles had to take the next step by
choosing to accept him as their Lord. Ultimately, all of these convincing details are not the point. The point is to encounter Jesus on a
personal level. The signs may open the door to bring us closer to
him, but it's up to us to walk through that door. May we walk so as
to come "to believe the Scripture."

Deacon Corner: (By Deacon Al)
Most of us think finding our life purpose means doing something we
truly love. It just seems natural to us and things just seem to fall into
place. But what if things are not so clear? What if we not sure what our
gifts are? What if we have not discovered any particular talent that
makes us think it could be our true calling in life? What if we are working or studying and we are good at it, but we just do not feel fulfilled? Is
this all there is for us? Is there all there is to life? We need not panic.
We are not alone. There are lots of people in the same boat. Take a look
at the disciples. If there ever was a diverse group, it was the disciples. Before Jesus came on the scene, they were fishermen, tax collectors, farmers, etc. The disciples must have been good at what they were
doing because they were feeding their families and making a living. St.
Paul was a devote Jew, well educated in the Torah and a true believer in
his faith. He even condoned the stoning of Stephen. Then they
met Jesus, and their true calling came into focus very quickly. What the
disciples and St. Paul did not know is that God wanted them to be happy. God wanted them to be happier than they had ever been. Following
God's plan for their lives made them happy and gave them purpose in
their lives.
Worship Corner
The Communion Rite: Our Father and Sign of Peace. We prepare to eat
and drink at the Lord’s table with those words taught us by Jesus: “Give
us this day our daily bread, / and forgive us our trespasses, / as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Keenly aware that communion (the
word means “union with”) is the sign and source of our reconciliation
and union with God and with one another, we make a gesture of union
and forgiveness with those around us and offer them a sign of peace.
CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Believe Out Loud! Live Your Faith!
L.I.F.E.
The Church teaches us that two spiritual strands weave together to form
the fabric of the season of Lent. One strand and the most familiar, is the
repentant character of Lent. Through the penitential practices of prayer,
fasting, and almsgiving we spend these forty days in the desert of repentance, preparing for the celebration of Easter.
However, the primary strand is the Baptismal character of this holy
season. The unbaptized spend Lent in preparation for their baptism and
most of us, the already baptized, spend this time preparing to renew the
promises —the covenant— established when we were baptized.
The next adult L.I.F.E. session will help us with our preparation for the
renewal of our baptismal covenant.
EveryWoman is an evening reading/study group on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month for women of all ages exploring ways and words of
wisdom. Call Eileen Brown at Ext. 1113 for more information.

The 8th World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia is scheduled for September 22-27th and our Holy Pope Francis will be attending. This prayer is
for the World Meeting of Families Philadelphia 2015:
God and Father of us all, in Jesus, your Son and our Savior, you have made us
your sons and daughters in the family of the Church.
May your grace and love help our families in every part of the world be united in
one another in fidelity to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family, with the aid of your Holy Spirit, guide all
families, especially those most troubled, to be homes of communion and prayer
and to always seek your truth and live in your love.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen Jesus, Mary and Joseph Pray for us!
Parents: Year 2 of the Diocesan Evangelization Pastoral Plan is Focusing on

YOUTH
This week at EDGE/LIFETEEN we discussed the third mark of the
Church, “Catholic.” The word “catholic” means universal. The teaching
for the session focused on the universal nature of the Church and the
mission of every person to share the message of Jesus Christ with the
whole world. We concluded with a time of prayer and reflection in front
of the Blessed Sacrament. Our next EDGE/LIFETEEN session will be
held this Monday, April 22nd, from 6:30-8:30pm. Our topic: The
Four Marks of the Church—Apostolic

REFLEXIONES
3er Domingo de Cuaresma
A mediados de la Cuaresma se nos presenta una lectura sobre los
diez mandamientos. Pero, ¿para qué escucharlos? ¿Qué nos indica el Señor mediante esta lectura? Todos por lo menos los escuchamos y aprendimos al hacer nuestra primera Comunión. Sin
embargo, no es lo mismo escucharlos o leerlos que ponerlos en
práctica en nuestra vida. Por medio de ellos Dios da a conocer a
su pueblo lo que pretende y lo que espera de ellos y de nosotros,
si es que deseamos aceptar una alianza con Dios. Lo que pasó en
el Monte Sinaí es para nosotros una luz para comprender lo sucedido con la venida de Jesús. Dios siempre manifiesta su amor y
preocupación por los seres humanos. Pero al enviar a su Hijo nos
revela, en plenitud, su amor.
La alianza del Sinaí, la cruz y la Resurrección, ¿qué semejanza
tienen? Sencillamente el que comprendamos el por qué Jesús no
tolera que el templo, casa de su Padre, se convierta en cueva de
ladrones y cambistas. Es decir, ya la humanidad estaba comprometida a responder lo revelado por Dios. ¿Cómo responderemos
al llamado de Dios en este domingo? ¿Qué debe Jesús echar fuera de mi vida? El participar fielmente en la Eucaristía puede iluminar nuestros corazones y darnos la fuerza necesaria para comprender su mensaje y dar una respuesta positiva. Se trata de hacer
obras buenas, para que al vernos, la gente crea en el mensaje de
Jesús. Reflexionemos en las palabras finales del Evangelio:
"Mientras estuvo en Jerusalén para las fiestas de Pascua, muchos
creyeron en él, al ver los prodigios que hacía". ¡Quédate, Señor,
en mí!
