March 27, 2011


On Sunday, March 13th, the RCIA community gathered to celebrate the Rite of Election with Bishop Lynch. First our parish celebrated and prayed with them with a Rite of Sending, where the catechumens signed the Book of the Elect. This book was presented to the Bishop and he affirmed that these individuals now have entered a new phase in the RCIA journey, along with all of our parish-that of "Purification and Enlightenment". Please continue to pray for our RCIA elect, candidates and their sponsors as they deepen their conversion ex-perience and prepare to be received into full communion with our Church at the Easter Vigil Mass. (See attached image of our group)

THIRST Each time today’s Gospel story is read, I can’t help but think of the many television commercials I’ve seen depicting perspiring athletes lifting a beverage to their lips while the scorching sun beats down on them. Our culture has definite ideas about how to quench thirst. Today, those ideas are turned upside down. The Samaritan woman operates, ini-tially, on the TV commercial level. She asks Jesus for the flowing water

so that she will not have to keep coming to the well. Jesus then talks about what real thirst is, and how he, and he alone, can quench that thirst. Lent calls us to find those places deep within ourselves where we thirst. In our thirst, as did the Israel-ites, we cry out to God asking for springs of living water. Deep down we know that only the Lord can sat-isfy these thirsts. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

These women and children undergo holistic programs such as physical, psychological, spiritual rehabilitation. When they are ready they are given livelihood training or they are sent to school upon proper evaluation. They are given all the assistance they need until such time that they are ready to be re-integrated to society to live decent lives. They have a program on helping very poor children in the rural areas who are endangered of being lured into prostitution without help. These children are sent to school to protect them from recruiters who are targeting them. Sr. Ma. Corazon J.

SED Cada vez que se lee el relato del Evangelio de hoy, no puedo dejar de pensar en los muchos comerciales televisivos que muestran atletas sudorosos llevando una bebida a los labios mientras que el sol calcinante los golpea. Nuestra cultura tiene ideas definidas sobre cómo apagar la sed. Hoy, esas ideas son puestas cabeza abajo. Al inicio, la samaritana opera al nivel del comercial de televisión. Le pide agua viva a Jesús para no tener que seguir viniendo al pozo. Es entonces que Jesús le habla sobre la verdadera sed y cómo él, solo él, puede calmar esa sed. La Cuaresma nos llama a encontrar esos lugares muy dentro de nosotros donde estamos sedientos. En nuestra sed, al igual que los israelitas, clamamos a Dios pidiéndole fuentes de agua viva. Allá en el fondo sabemos que solo el Señor puede satisfacer esa sed. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
