PARISH INFORMATION First Sunday of Lent JESUS AND THE DEVIL The devil tempted Jesus by quoting scripture, as today’s Gospel reminds us. Try a self-serving miracle. Try selling out. Try dazzling the audience; people are gullible, after all. Try all these easy ways. The tempter tries to urge Jesus onto the slippery slope, attempts the old soft-soap, the snake-oil solutions that are always readily at hand. The devil knows better, but is powerless to do better, much less be better. The devil is evil personified, who senses in Jesus the stronger, truly attractive presence of holiness. Evil is exposed and engaged, we are reminded in this Sunday’s Gospel. Evil knows the jig is up. The undoing of lies begins with Jesus, who takes up the work of soul-healing and world-healing. This Lent, the Church invites us to enter into this renewing, re-creative work and be made whole again. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Primer Domingo de Cuaresma JESÚS Y EL DEMONIO Como nos recuerda el Evangelio de hoy, el demonio tentó a Jesús con citas de la Sagrada Escritura: haz un milagro que te convenga. Véndete. Deslumbra a tus oyentes; el pueblo es ingenuo y novelero. Camina por estas sendas fáciles. El tentador trata de llevar a Jesús por la senda fácil pero resbalosa, ofreciéndole las soluciones fáciles pero falsas que siempre están a la mano. El demonio sabe lo que es bueno, pero no tiene la capacidad de hacer lo que es bueno, y menos aún de ser bueno. El demonio es la personificación del Mal, e intuye en Jesús la presencia más fuerte, y más genuinamente atractiva, de la santidad. El Evangelio de este domingo nos muestra al Mal expuesto y desenmascarado. Satanás sabe que se le ha acabado el juego. Hoy Jesús comienza a deshacer su tejido de mentiras, y a sanar a las almas, y al mundo entero. Y en este tiempo de Cuaresma, la Iglesia nos invita a participar en esta labor de renovación, de nueva creación, y a dejar que Cristo nos sane. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THANKS TO ALL INTERNATIONAL BREAKFAST HEROES This past weekend, Saint Dominic Savio Parish held its Annual Interna onal Breakfast on St. John Bosco’s Feast day. The Interna onal Breakfast is a unifying event where all the ministries of the church come together and prepare and serve food a er all the Sunday Masses in order to raise money for the Youth Ministry. This year, all proceeds went towards the Youth Ministry’s WeCare A erschool Program. We raised $5,500 this year. We became quite concerned that our outcome would not be as great as previously hoped. We are happy to say, “We were wrong!” Due to amazing parishioners, who were passionate about suppor ng the Youth no ma er the weather, the Interna onal Breakfast s ll had a great turnout. Most of all, a great deal of gra tude goes to the ministries of Saint Dominic Savio Parish. Through the crazy weather and constant adjustments being asked of them, they stayed, served and did it all while s ll in a joyful Salesian Spirit. The Youth Ministry of Saint Dominic Savio is blessed to live in such a caring community that truly lives in the Salesian Spirit of serving the Youth, no ma er what. To every soul in Saint Dominic Savio, WE THANK YOU!

C U A R E S M A 2 0 16 Cuaresma es siempre un camino que conduce hacia la Pascua, la tierra prometida, como culmen del camino de Jesús. Nos preparamos para poder acompañar a Jesús en ese camino “comprimido” que es la “Semana Santa”, incluida la resurrección. ¿Hacia dónde caminamos? La resurrección de Jesús es la utopía humana realizada. Será “Nuestro Mundo Sin Fronteras”. Para llegar a ese mundo hay que derribar una serie de muros que nos impiden el paso, que crean auténticas barreras, fronteras. Cada domingo nos enfrentaremos a un “muro” diferente: 1º el “muro” de las tentaciones; 2º el de nuestros miedos; 3º el de nuestros caprichos; 4º el de nuestra impaciencia;5º el de nuestro corazón de piedra. Para derribar esos muros, cada domingo estaremos en posesión de tres mazas: las de la oración, austeridad y solidaridad, que corresponden a la oración, el ayuno y la limosna como ejercicios concretos propios de la Cuaresma. Y de cada maza sacaremos varios compromisos cada domingo. Estas mazas serán el contenido de nuestro “ofertorio”: nos llevarán a formular, cada domingo, 3 compromisos concretos.

· · · · · · · · · · ·

ABSTINENCIA Y AYUNO Abstinencia: consiste en no comer carne los viernes durante el año (práctica recomendada) y el Miércoles de Ceniza. Desde los 14 años. Ayuno: consiste en hacer una sola comida fuerte al día. Obliga a los mayores de edad, hasta los 59 años cumplidos. Ayuno y abstinencia: obligan el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. Importante: Estas prácticas cuaresmales no consisten en sólo abstenerse de comer. Necesitamos voluntad constante de conversión. Dejar de hacer algo debe provenir del corazón: la penitencia es como preparación a la alegría de la Pascua Por eso ayunamos antes de comulgar. Con el Señor ya presente, no hay que ayunar, hay que Alegrarse. Por eso los domingos no son días de ayuno: ¡son días del Señor, días de festejarle! Si “me olvidé” y como carne... lo supliré con sacrificios de caridad y prácticas de piedad. ¡Esto es lo que Dios prefiere!

L E N T 2 0 16 Lent is always a path which leads to Easter, the Promised Land, the destination of Jesus´ journey. We get ready to walk with Jesus along that “condensed” path which is Holy Week, including the resurrection. What is our destination? Jesus´ resurrection is the human utopia in all its fullness. It will be

“Our World Without Frontiers.” To reach that world we must tear down a series of walls which block our passage, creating real barriers and frontiers. Each Sunday we shall come face to face with a different “wall”: the “wall” of the temptations (1); the “wall” of our fears (2); the “wall” of our whims (3); the “wall” of our impatience (4); the “wall” which is our heart of stone (5). To tear down those walls we will be given three sledge hammers: prayer, austerity and solidarity, which correspond to the prayer, fasting and almsgiving which are the traditional concrete Lenten practices. With each hammer we will extract some resolutions each Sunday. These hammers will be our “offertory”: they will guide us to formulate each Sunday three concrete resolutions.

· · · · · · · · · · · ABSTINENCE AND FASTING

Abstinence: Means not eating meat on Fridays during the year (recommended) and on Ash Wednesday. Starting from the age of 14. Fasting: Eating only one full meal a day and applies to all adults who have complete their 59th year of age. Fast and abstinence: Obligatory on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Important: These Lenten practices are not just a question of not eating. We must have the constant desire for conversion. Stop doing something must spring from the heart: penance is like a preparation for the joy of Easter. That’s why we fast before Communion. Since the Lord is already present, there is no need to fast, one must rejoice. That´s why we do not fast on Sundays; they are the Lord´s days, days to celebrate the Lord. If “I forgot”, and ate meat… I’ll substitute with acts of charity and prayer. This is what God prefers!

?QUESTION : Does Bulletin Advertising

Really Work?

ANSWER : It Must!You’re Reading This Ad.

Why not fill this space with your Ad insteadof ours? Call or write us for information.

WHY IS IT

A man wakes up after sleeping

under an ADVERTISED blanket

on an ADVERTISED mattress

and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth

with ADVERTISED toothpaste

washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes

drinks a cup

of ADVERTISED coffee

drives to work

in an ADVERTISED car

and then . . . .

refuses to ADVERTISE

believing it doesn’t pay.

Later if business is poor

he ADVERTISES it for sale.

WHY IS IT?
