2nd Sunday of Lent

Did you follow the story of Norma from Guatemala? Our CRS Rice Bowl offered many rich reflections this week. Following the daily reflections, we are invited to share a journey with our neighbors - in particular the world’s most vulnerable people: migrants and refugees fleeing war, poverty and persecution, people who seek nothing more than the basic needs and a path forward. Through CRS Rice Bowl sacrifice, we can assist young mothers like Norma to grow nutritious food and provide a healthy lifestyle for their families.

This week we are reminded of a foundational Catholic Principle: Human life is sacred, and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. Every human being from the moment of their conception to their last breath is sacred and has an intrinsic value.

Every human being is created in the image and likeness of God. This causes us to reflect on how we treat one another. Do our hearts become indifferent or numb to the plight of others? Our nation recently has passed legislation which continues to attack the innocent human life at the moment of their birth into the world. We read about the mistreatment of immigrants on our borders. We live in a country where we have an abundance and others barely have the essentials to live. God loves every human being. They are our brothers and sisters.

In the Gospel, we hear the voice of the Father speaking about Jesus. “This is my chosen Son, listen to him.” I hear Jesus saying, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers (and sisters) of mine, you did for me.' If you have not participated, I encourage you to participate in www.CRSricebowl.org.

As we continue our Lenten journey, we must take time to listen to Jesus. We do this by a committed prayer life. Are we giving time for prayer? Do we take time to read the word of God and really listen? How does the Word of God speak to your heart? By listening to the Word of God, the Holy Spirit stirs us into action. How do I concretely show respect for the dignity of every human life?

Have a wonderful week!

Fr. Keith

Notas del Pastor 2do domingo de Cuaresma ¿Seguiste la historia de Norma de Guatemala? Nuestro CRS Rice Bowl ofreció muchas reflexiones ricas esta semana. Después de las reflexiones diarias, se nos invita a compartir un viaje con nuestros vecinos, en particular las personas más vulnerables del mundo: migrantes y refugiados que huyen de la guerra, la pobreza y la persecución, personas que no buscan más que las necesidades básicas y un camino a seguir. A través del sacrificio de CRS Rice Bowl, podemos ayudar a las madres jóvenes como Norma a cultivar alimentos nutritivos y proporcionar un estilo de vida saludable para sus familias. Esta semana se nos recuerda un principio católico fundamental: la vida humana es sagrada, y que la dignidad de la persona humana es la base de una visión moral para la sociedad. Todo ser humano desde el momento de su concepción hasta su último aliento es sagrado y tiene un valor intrínseco. Cada ser humano es creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios. Esto nos hace reflexionar sobre cómo nos tratamos unos a otros. ¿Nuestros corazones se vuelven indiferentes o entumecidos ante la difícil situación de los demás? Nuestra nación recientemente aprobó una legislación que continúa atacando a la vida humana inocente en el momento de su nacimiento en el mundo. Leemos sobre el maltrato a los inmigrantes en nuestras fronteras. Vivimos en un país donde tenemos abundancia y otros apenas tienen lo esencial para vivir. Dios ama a cada ser humano. Son nuestros hermanos y hermanas. En el Evangelio, escuchamos la voz del Padre hablando de Jesús. "Este es mi Hijo elegido, escúchalo". Escucho a Jesús decir: 'Amén, te digo, todo lo que hiciste por uno de estos hermanos (y hermanas) míos, lo hiciste por mí'. Si no ha participado, lo invito a participar en www.CRSricebowl.org. Mientras continuamos nuestro viaje de Cuaresma, debemos tomarnos el tiempo de escuchar a Jesús. Hacemos esto por una vida de oración comprometida. ¿Estamos dando tiempo para la oración? ¿Nos tomamos el tiempo para leer la Palabra de Dios y realmente escuchar? ¿Cómo le habla a tu corazón la Palabra de Dios? Al escuchar la Palabra de Dios, el Espíritu Santo nos impulsa a la acción. ¿Cómo muestro concretamente el respeto por la dignidad de cada vida humana? ¡Que tengan una buena semana! P. Keith

Every child is taught the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be when they are young. But the

Church has a treasury of prayers from her tradition. Each month we would like to highlight a specific prayer and invite you to pray it each day or even to memorize it where it will be secure within

your memory.

Prayer For the month of March

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;

trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;

that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him

forever in the next. Amen.

Monday: Dn 9:4b-10; Ps 79:8, 9, 11 and 13; Lk 6:36-38

11; 1 Cor 10:1-6, 10-12; Lk 13:1-9

A cada niño se le enseña el Padrenuestro, el Avemaría y la Gloria cuando son pequeños. Pero la Iglesia tiene

un tesoro de oraciones de su tradición. Cada mes quisiéramos resaltar una oración específica e invitarlo a orarla todos los días o incluso a memorizarla en un

lugar seguro dentro de su memoria.

Oración para el mes de marzo

Oración de serenidad

Dios, concédeme la serenidad para aceptar cosas que se puedo cambiar;

valor para cambiar cosas que puedo; y sabiduría para conocer la diferencia.

Viviendo un día a la vez;

disfrutando un momento a la vez; aceptando dificultades como camino a la paz;

tomando, como lo hizo, este mundo pecaminoso como es, no como yo quisiera;

confiando en que Él hará las cosas bien sí me rindo a su voluntad;

que pueda ser razonablemente feliz en esta vida y supremamente feliz con él para siempre

en el próximo. Amen.

Seeking new singers! Our parish Music Ministry is blessed

with two choirs for our English Masses. But during the last year or so, several of

our choir members have moved out of the area and are no longer with us. So, we are looking for new singers. The ability to read music is not required. Several of our choir members have no

formal music training. So please consider joining one or both of our choirs to keep our Music Ministry alive and thriving! Just leave your

contact information with our parish office and I will be happy to discuss with you when our choirs

sing, how often we rehearse, etc.
