PASTOR’S CORNER
The Seven Disciplines of Discipleship: 1. Prayer, 2.
Word of God, 3. Eucharist, 4. Confession, 5. Community, 6. Service, 7. Evangelization. This week we focus on
COMMUNITY. Who is God and who am I? God is a
communion of life and love; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I am a unique individual, a person created in the image and likeness of God/Love, but, by God’s design, I
am created for communion. I was conceived as a member of a family. My most basic identity is as son or
daughter, brother or sister, husband or wife, mother or
father. This relational identity begins in my natural family. It is meant to be perfected in the spiritual family: the
Catholic Church, the Body of Christ, the Communion of
saints, the Family of God; “on earth as it is in Heaven.”
As a discipline of disciple ship, I need to be intentionally working on keeping these relationships in good repair, both in my natural family and in my spiritual family. “This is the will of God in Christ Jesus for
me” (1Thes. 5:18). This is what Jesus is praying for:
“That they may all be one, even as thou, Father, are in
me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us” (Jn.
17:21). In practical terms, what will this discipline look
like in daily life? “Pope Francis suggests that every family needs to say three things to be healthy, happy and
growing in love: ‘please,’ ‘thank you,’ and ‘sorry.’ This
is great advice. I think parents and children would see
real differences in their lives if they practiced these three
every day. Saying ‘Please’ teaches us to respect our
loved ones and not to be too demanding. ‘Thank you’
teaches us gratitude and to see the others in our life as a
gift. ‘Sorry’ is the most important word. Because it
makes us sensitive to the ways we can offend one another and hurt one another’s feelings during the ordinary
course of daily life. This is the one word that leads us to
forgive one another, as our Father in heaven forgives
us” (Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, from an article in Our
Sunday Visitor, 3/1/15). As disciples of Jesus, we need
to work on being active, faithful, loving and interdependent in the mission of building up the Body of
Christ, at home in the ‘domestic church,’ and in the local
parish church. Is the Lord calling me to become active
in one of the faith-sharing ministries in the parish?
There are about sixty-five of them to choose from.
Blessings, Fr. John
ANNUAL PARISH ELECTIONS
FAST & ABSTINENCE
The Nomination Committee for St. Joachim Parish Council is accepting names at this time. Any parishioner in
good standing is welcome to contact the office. The election will take place June 6 & 7, 2015.
During Lent, the Church asks us
to enter into this season of renewal with a spirit of repentance
symbolized by fasting and abstinence. Fridays throughout
Lent are days of Abstinence,
which means that Catholics, beginning on their 14th
birthday, abstain from meat on these days. That includes
poultry, but not fish and other seafood .
Good Friday is designated as a day of Fast and Abstinence. The obligation to fast commences on the 18th
birthday and ceases on the 59th birthday. This means
that besides one full meal, the other two meals should not
equal a full meal. There should be no snacking. The idea
is to eat simply.
Men’s One Day Mini Conference…
Catholic Men of Faith will be hosting a men’s mini conference today, March 22 at 12:30pm in room 41 behind
the bookstore. “Pray, Hope, and Don’t Worry”. Guest
speaker Gary Zimak. For more information call Bruce
Simmons, 706-1160 or Luis Ceja, 871-7234. Preregistration not required. Good will offering accepted.

ST. MARELLO BOOKSTORE
“The Light is On for You- the Life Changing Power of Confession” is in stock at the bookstore. The book was mentioned in
Father John’s Pastor’s Corner last week. According to Scott
Hahn in his foreword to the book “Confession is nothing
new. Sin is nothing new. What is new is the fresh approach of
one of the great teachers of our generation, Cardinal Donald
Wuerl, is “like the great Fathers of the early Church, Cyril,
Chrysostom, Ambrose, Augustine, a theologian of the first
rank, but a bishop above all.” Stop by the bookstore and pick
up this powerful book for yourself or for those inactive Catholics in your family. Remember the bookstore is open 24/7 at
www.marellobookstore.org.

AYUNO Y ABSTINENCIA
Durante la Cuaresma, La Iglesia nos pide que entremos a este periodo de renovación con un espíritu de
arrepentimiento simbolizado por medio del ayuno y la
abstinencia. Los Viernes durante el periodo de cuaresma
son días de abstinencia, lo que quiere decir que los católicos, empezando desde los 14 años, se abstienen de
comer carne estos días. Esto incluye cualquier tipo de
ave pero no el pescado y los mariscos.
El Viernes Santo se designa como día de Ayuno y Abstinencia. La obligación de guardar ayuno empieza desde los 18 años hasta los 59 años. Esto quiere decir que
además de una comida normal las otras comidas no deben ser igual de una comida completa. No se deben comer bocaditos ni antojitos. La idea es de comer sencillamente, no abundantemente.
RINCÓN DEL PÁRROCO
LAS SIETE DISCIPLINAS DE LOS DISCIPULOS. 1.
Oración, 2. La Palabra de Dios, 3. La Eucaristía, 4. Confesión, 5. Comunidad de Fe-Compartida, 6. Servicio, y 7.
Evangelización. Esta semana nos enfocamos en LA COMUNIDAD. ¿Quién es Dios y quién son yo? Dios es una
comunión de vida y amor; Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Yo
soy un individuo único, una persona creada a imagen y
semejanza de Dios/Amor, pero, por designio de Dios, me
creó para la comunión. Fuí concebido como miembro de una
familia. Mi identidad más básica es como hijo o hija, hermano o hermana, esposo o esposa, madre o padre. Esta identidad racional comienza en mi familia natural. Esta pensada
para ser perfeccionada en la familia espiritual: la Iglesia
Católica, el cuerpo de Cristo, la Comunión de los Santos, la
Familia de Dios; “en la tierra como en el Cielo.” Como una
disciplina de los discipulos, necesito trabajar intencionalmente en mantener estas relaciones, en buenas condiciones,
tanto en mi familia natural como en mi familia espiritual.
“Esta es la voluntad de Dios en Cristo Jesús para mi”(1Thes.
5:18). Esto es por lo que Jesús está orando: “Te pido que
todos sea uno lo mismo que lo somos tu y yo, Padre. Y que
también ellos vivan unidos a nosotros” (Jn. 17:21). En términos prácticos, ¿cómo se vería esta disciplina en la vida cotidiana? “El Papa Francisco sugiere que cada familia necesita
decir tres frases para estar saludable, feliz y creciendo en
amor: “por favor,’ gracias,’ y lo siento.’ Esto es un gran consejo. Pienso que los padres y los niños verían diferencias
reales en sus vida si practicaran estas tres frases cada día.
Decir ‘Por favor’ nos enseña a respetar a nuestros seres
queridos y a no ser demasiado exigentes. ‘Gracias’ nos enseña gratitud y ver a los demás que están en nuestra vida como
un regalo. ‘Lo siento’ es la frase más importante. Porque nos
hace sensibles a las maneras de que podemos ofendernos y
lastimar los sentimientos el uno al otro durante el curso de la
vida cotidiana. Está es la única frase que nos conduce a
perdonarnos el uno al otro, así como nuestro Padre que está
en el cielo nos perdona” (Arzobispo José H. Gomez, de un
artículo en Our Sunday Visitor, 3/1/15). Como discipulos de
Jesús, necesitamos trabajar en estar activos, fieles, amorosos
y solidarios en la misión de construir el Cuerpo de Cristo, en
la casa, en la ‘iglesia domestica,’ y en la parroquia local.
¿Está el Señor llamándome a ser un miembro activo de uno
de los ministerios de fe-compartida en la parroquia? Hay
cerca de sesenta y cinco ministerios de los que puedes elegir.
