1st Sunday of Lent-February 18, 2018

From the Pastor’s Column / Noticias del Párroco

As the Eucharist unites us as one Body in Christ, may we faithfully live and share the Gospel. A medida que la Eucaristía nos une como un solo Cuerpo en Cristo, vivamos y anunciemos fielmente el Evangelio.

-Fr. William Dotson

Men of the Parish Fr. Dotson has asked the Knights of Columbus to start a par-ish-based council here at St. Charles Borromeo. All Catholic men 18 and over are invited to join. We hope this group will have a large membership from both our English and Spanish-speaking parishioners. A parish-based council will provide assistance to the clergy and support the parish community and its ministries and school programs along with the many other programs already supported by the Knights of Columbus. Representatives will be present at all Masses on February 24 & 25 to answer questions and to welcome men and their families to join the Knights.

Hombres de la Parroquia P. Dotson ha pido a los Caballeros de Colón para formar un consejo basado en nuestra parroquia. Todos hombres católi-cos mayores de 18 años están invitados a unirse. Esperamos que esto grupo tendrá un gran afiliación de nuestras feli-greses hispanohablantes y anglohablantes. Un consejo basado en la parroquia proporcionará asistencia a los cleros y apoyará la comunidad parroquial y sus ministros y pro-gramas de la escuela tanto como los muchos otros programas ya apoyados por los Caballeros de Colón. Representantes estarán a todas las misas de los 24 & 25 de febrero para re-sponder a preguntas y dar bienvenida a los hombres y sus familias para unirse a los Caballeros.

Pope Francis is asking all Catholics, and all men and women of goodwill, to join him in a special Day of Pray-er and Fasting for peace on February 23rd. In particular, he is asking us to offer our prayers and fasting for the war-torn people of the Democratic Republic of Congo and of South Sudan.

God of Peace, St. Francis prayed, "Lord, make me an

instrument of your peace." And so do we.

Make us instruments of your peace. Allow instruments of peace to rise up

in South Sudan and the Democra c Republic of Congo And flourish all over your world: instruments of peace who offer

stability, safety, and jus ce that bring joy and hope;

that foster hearts of reconcilia on, mercy, and love.

Amen source crs.org

El Papa Fancisco está pidiendo a todos católicos, y todos hombres y mujeres de buena voluntad, para unirse con él en un Día de Oración y Ayuno por la Paz en el 23 de febrero. En particular, él está pidiendo que ofrecemos nuestra oración y ayuno por la gente de la República Democrática del Congo y de Sudán del Sur que son dev-astado por la guerra.

Dios de Paz, San Francisco rezó, “Señor, haz de mí

un instrumento de tu paz.” Nosotros lo rezamos también.

Haz de nosotros instrumentos de tu paz. Causa a instrumentos de paz para surgir

en el Sudán de Sur y la República Democrática del Congo y florecer en todo el mundo:

instrumentos de paz que ofrecen la estabilidad, la seguridad, y la justicia,

que traen alegría y esperanza, que fomentar a corazones de reconciliación,

misericordia, y amor. Amen.

If writing a check , please make it pay-able to SCB Parish.

Father Michael Schmitz tackles some of the most difficult topics in the Church today. With compassion, clarity and humor, he shows that the Church’s teachings on contraception and same-sex attraction are rooted in the yearnings for authentic love that is shared by all, who are made in the image and likeness of God.

Special Opportunity to make a Difference Concordance Academy of Leadership is an organization dedicated to restoring individuals, rebuilding families, and transform-ing communities by providing quality, evidence-based prison reentry services. Concordance supports formerly incarcerated men and women in every facet of their transition home, including education, job readiness, employment, substance abuse recovery, mental health, cognitive and relationship skills, housing, and spiritual support. In addition to supplying professional help, Concordance relies on teams of 5-7 volunteers to provide critical love, mentorship, and emotional support to participants in their first year post-release. With its increasing volume of program participants, Concordance is looking for more dedicated volunteers, passionate about embodying God's love, justice, and mercy. Teams will: • Provide much-needed emotional support, love and encouragement • Create a resourceful network to help meet basic needs – ranging from transportation and childcare, to household furnish-ings and clothing • Supplement Academy services to help participants achieve goals outlined in their customized life plans and career blueprints • Foster individual growth through the creation and implementation of a personal project that contributes to the greater good of society Each team’s role looks different depending on their partner’s goals and needs, but in every case, teams help their partner feel loved and valued during a period when many would otherwise feel invisible and alone. Talk to Jeff and Lisa after the service to learn more or sign up."

Readings of the Week/Lecturas De La Semana

February 18, 2018-Gospel Background

Your Loving Sacrifices Make All The Difference

February 18, 2018 1st Sunday in Lent

In today’s Gospel, Jesus overcomes the

temptations to wealth, power, and esteem. As we begin Lent, may we open our hearts to the grace of prayer,

fasting and almsgiving.

Your almsgiving in the St. Vincent de Paul poor box will help the poor to celebrate the grace of God’s love this Easter.

WE THANK EACH OF YOU for the great love you show to our Borromeo Family carrying on the work of Jesus and to those in need-by the generosity you display when you share your treasure, and all God’s gifts

to you, given for others.

Contributions for February 10/11, 2018

On the first Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reading in each Lec-tionary cycle is about Jesus’ temptation in the desert. This event in the life of Jesus is reported in each of the Synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—but it is not found in John’s Gospel. This year we read Mark’s account of this event.

Compared to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the details throughout Mark’s narrative are sparse. This is evident in Mark’s account of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. Mark tells us only that Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit and that for 40 days he was tempted by Satan. The Gospels of Mat-thew and Luke explain that Jesus fasted while in the desert, that Satan presented him with three temptations, and that Je-sus refused each one, quoting Scripture. Only the Gospels of Matthew and Mark report that angels ministered to Jesus at the end of his time in the desert.

In each of the Synoptic Gospels, the temptation of Jesus fol-lows his baptism by John the Baptist. In Mark’s Gospel, we are told that Jesus went into the desert immediately after his baptism, led by the Spirit. Jesus’ public ministry in Galilee begins after his temptation in the desert. Mark’s Gospel makes a connection between the arrest of John the Baptist and the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Jesus’ preaching about the Kingdom of God is in continuity with the preaching of John the Baptist, but it is also something new. As Jesus announces it, the Kingdom of God is beginning; the time of the fulfill-ment of God’s promises is here.

The fact that Jesus spent 40 days in the desert is significant. This recalls the 40 years that the Israelites wandered in the desert after being led from slavery in Egypt. The prophet Eli-jah also journeyed in the desert for 40days and nights, making his way to Horeb, the mountain of God, where he was also attended to by an angel of the Lord. Remembering the signifi-cance of these events, we also set aside 40 days for the season of Lent.

Continued….

In Mark’s Gospel, the desert marks beginning of Jesus’ battle with Satan; the ultimate test will be in Jesus’ final hours on the cross. In a similar way, our Lenten observances are only a beginning, a preparation for and a reinforcement of our ongo-ing struggle to resist the temptations we face in our lives. Dur-ing Lent, we are led by the Holy Spirit to remember the vows of Baptism in which we promised to reject sin and to follow Jesus. Just as Jesus was ministered to by the angels, God also supports us in our struggle against sin and temptation. We succeed because Jesus conquered sin once and for all in his saving death on the cross.
