Stewardship
Reflecting on God’s Word
Third Sunday of Lent
All of us wish we could be holy, we say, if
only Jesus would come and do to the
temple of our faith what he did to the
temple of Israel’s faith: cast out what
doesn’t belong, because we don’t seem
to be able to do it for ourselves, at least
not with much effec veness. We try to
pray and find ourselves daydreaming
about what to make for supper, about the
latest family argument, about the
mee ng we’re going to a end, about
where we’re going to spend our money.
We try to simplify, but we also like our
lives the way they are. We like the cut of
style, the thick of our lawn, the escape of
vaca on, the high from shopping or
chocolate or day me soaps or whatever
catches our fancy. We wish we would
love be er, care be er, have more
compassion or pa ence, be more
generous, but original sin always gets in
the way—only we don’t call it original sin.
We say we don’t have willpower or the
energy.
So what are we to do? John’s Gospel
promises that God will come and drive
such stuff from our lives. In fact, the
promise is that God will do it whether we
wish God to or not, which is probably a
good move on God’s part simply because
most of us are a bit fearful of what God
may clear away.

MARCH 8, 2015 | T HIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
Faith Formation & Enrichment
R.C.I.A.
Words of Faith
This year two adults, four teenagers and seven children will be
Bap zed, Confirmed and receive First Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
Also, two children who were bap zed as infants in another
Chris an denomina on will make a Profession of Faith, which
brings them into the Catholic Church, and will receive
Confirma on and Eucharist. The children and teens have been
preparing for two years, the adults for over one year, for this
important moment in their lives. During Lent they enter into a
period which the Rite refers to as Purifica on and Enlightenment,
which includes the Scru ny Rite on the third, fourth, and fi h
Sundays of Lent. This rite, which includes an exorcism and a
blessing, asks God to remove any darkness of a achment to evil
from them, and to fill them with the light of Christ.
from our Elect who will receive the Sacraments of
Bap sm, Confirma on and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
From Nicholas H., age 11:
Those who are about to become Catholic have been asked to
write a statement of their faith, a few of which will be in the
bulle n today and on the following Sundays in Lent. Look for
them in the area where the Wondering Why ar cle is usually
printed. Please pray for these Elect and Recognized during this
Lenten Season.
I want to be bap zed because I want to wash away my sins and
get clean, and then it could help me be be er at being nice to
others.
_______________________________________________________________________
Lenten Book Study
During Lent, we will be reading and
discussing the book Jesus: A
Pilgrimage by Jesuit priest James
Mar n. In his book, Fr. Mar n
reflects on the life of Jesus through
the eyes of a pilgrim to the Holy
Land, blending Scripture and
personal experiences to gain a deeper understanding of Scripture,
the places where Jesus lived and preached, and the story of Jesus’
life. This is a deligh ul book to read and will give us much to think
about during the days of Lent. This Wednesday, March 11, we will
be discussing Chapters 10—14. Please read the chapters and note
any ideas that you would like to discuss when we meet on
Wednesday.
_______________________________________________________________________
Prayer & Meditation with Scripture
We welcome you to join us on Tuesday evening, March 10, when we
will reflect on the Lenten Scriptures in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel
at 7:30 p.m. This weekly hour of prayer time utilizes varying prayer
forms each week, including Lectio Divina, centering prayer, prayer of
remembrance, Taizé prayer and Ignatian meditation. It is a time to
meet with others in quiet and peace away from the busyness and
noise of the world. You are all most welcome!
I want to be bap zed because I want to be a lot closer to God. I
want to follow God in his faith and religion. I want to receive the
Eucharist because I want to be God’s child and follow him.
I love Jesus because he died on the cross to take our sins away
and to clean our souls.
I want to be a Catholic because I want to follow my mom and dad
and my Godparents.
From Carlos F., age 11:
I love Jesus because he died for us and helped us be together. He
also loves us. A er that, we could love all the people.
From Emily A., age 11:
I want to be a Catholic because I want to be part of Jesus’ family
and the Catholic community. I also want to know more about
Jesus and about my religion.
From Cinthia S., age 15:
I want to be bap zed because I want to be accepted in the
Catholic religion. I want to receive Jesus as my only savior. I would
like to be a part of his family and have him in my heart.
I want to receive Eucharist because I want to be part of Jesus’s
family. I want to receive him every Sunday and start my week off
like that. I love Jesus because I find peace with him. With him by
my side I feel like there is faith and hope. I know that when I have
him with me I’ll always find the right way.
I want to be a Catholic because I like this religion. I want to follow
the first and original religion. I believe in one God and one God
only.
Please pray especially for Nicholas, Carlos, Emily and
Cinthia during this third week of Lent.

Ministerio Hispano
Reflexionemos sobre la
Palabra de Dios
Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
Todos nosotros deseamos ser santos o
santas y decimos con un suspiro que ojalá
Jesús viniera para hacer con el templo de
nuestra fe lo mismo que hizo con el
templo de Israel: echar afuera todo
aquello que no debe estar ahí, ya que no
parece que nosotros podamos hacerlo
solos, al menos no con mucha efec vidad.
Tratamos de rezar y nuestra mente divaga
hacia lo que vamos a hacer para la cena o
hacia la úl ma discusión en la familia, a la
reunión que vamos a ir, o cómo vamos a
gastar nuestro dinero.
Tratamos de simplificar las cosas, pero a
la vez queremos que nuestra vida siga
como está. Nos gusta el corte de pelo que
está de moda, nuestro césped de buena
hierba, escaparnos a unas vacaciones, el
gusto que nos da ir de compras o comer
chocolate o ver las telenovelas o
cualquier cosa que se nos antoje.
Deseamos mejorar en la manera que
amamos o que nos preocupamos por los
demás, tener más compasión o paciencia,
ser más generosos, pero el pecado
original lo obstaculiza todo —lo único es
que no lo llamamos pecado original. Más
bien decimos que nos falta la fuerza de
voluntad o la energía.
¿Qué hacer entonces? El Evangelio de
Juan promete que Dios vendrá a echar
afuera todas esas cosas de nuestra vida.
De hecho, la promesa es que Dios lo hará,
queramos nosotros que lo haga o no, lo
cual es una buena decisión por parte de
Dios sencillamente porque a la mayoría
de nosotros nos da un poco de medio
pensar en lo que Dios va a ex rpar de
nuestra vida.
