Mass IntentionsMass Intentions MARCH 21, 2021

In the Gospel, Jesus says “Whoever serves me must fol-low me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The

Father will honor whoever serves me.” When we help the poor, we are truly followers of Jesus, servant of the poor. As you place your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul poor box, know that you are a sign of God’s love to those who are suffer-ing, and you give them Easter hope and joy. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús dice: “Él que quiera servirme, que me siga, y donde yo esté, allí estará también mi servidor. Y al que me sirve, el Padre le dará un puesto de hon-or.” Cuando ayudamos a los pobres, somos verdaderamente seguidores de Jesús, el sirviente de los pobres. Cuando pones tu regalo en la Caja Pobre de la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl, ten en cuenta que eres un signo del amor de Dios para aquellos que sufren y a quién les das esperanza y júbilo Pascual.

Although common sense dictates that we encourage anyone who is not feeling well

or may have been exposed to someone who has Covid to continue to stays home and watch live stream Mass I wish to take this opportunity to encour-age those who can to prayerfully consider joining us in person for Sunday Mass. With Palm Sunday and Easter rapidly approaching, this offers a good opportunity for those who can to pray with us during these special days. Although the live-stream Masses have been a good alternative over the past year, we still have no way to receive Communion unless we are physically present. Aunque el sentido común dicta que alentamos a cualquier persona que no se sienta bien o que pueda haber estado expuesta a alguien que tiene Covid a que continúe en casa y vea la transmisión en vivo de la Misa, deseo aprovechar esta oportunidad para alentar a quienes puedan a considerar en oración unirse a nosotros. persona para la misa dominical. Con el Domingo de Ramos y la Pascua acercándose rápidamente, esto ofrece una buena oportunidad para que aquellos que puedan orar con nosotros durante estos días especiales. Aunque las Misas transmitidas en vivo han sido una buena alternativa durante el año pasado, todavía no tene-mos forma de recibir la Comunión a menos que estemos físicamente presentes.

By receiving forgiveness in the Sacrament of Rec-onciliation, that is the heart of our process of con-version, we spread forgiveness. Having received forgiveness, we can offer it through attentive dia-logue and giving comfort to those experiencing sor-row and pain. —Pope Francis
