Breaking Open The Word

March 18, 2018 Fifth Sunday of Lent- Year A

First Reading: Ezekiel 37:12-14 This reading is a loving promise that the Lord will put His spirit into his people and will let them live. Second Reading: Romans 8:8-11 Paul reminds the Romans that they are not people of the flesh but people of the Spirit because the Spirit of God dwells in them. Gospel: John 11:1-45 In great detail, John tells the story of the raising of Lazarus to life. Upon learning of the death of Lazarus, his dear friend Jesus goes to comfort Martha and Mary. After proclaiming, “I am the Resurrection and the Life,” Jesus goes to the tomb of Lazarus and restores him to life. Consider/Reflect: We are drawing closer to the celebration of the Paschal Mystery, recalling the passion, the dying and resurrection of Christ. The prophet Ezekiel and the raising of Lazarus, allow us to focus more clearly on the promise made to us of Jesus giving us His spirit and foretelling our final destiny and life with Him. As we find comfort in the promise, may we also realize that we have to open our hearts to receive what the Lord offers. His spirit is not forced upon us, but is given to those who earnestly ask for it. Like a gift that is given, we must reach out to accept it. A small child opens arms wide to be picked up and held. May we become like that child, reaching out for the Lord, as we continue our Lenten walk. His spirit is given that we may live, and we wish to live that life in abundance. What darkness or sin keeps you from the love and life God promises?

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP

Tuesdays Beginning April 3, 2018 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

St. Theresa Faith Formation Center Losing someone we love through death is

one of the most painful of life's transitions. It is at times like this, that we need the love and support of family and friends. But sometimes even that is not enough. We need to be with others who understand and share our pain.

A BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP can be just the experience we need at this time. Sessions will contain input and optional sharing. This group is open to anyone who has lost someone in their lives and wishes to come and share their pain. For more information call Gwen at 609-335-5252

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament

Each Friday during the entire

Season of Lent, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in the Daily Chapel for private Adoration. The Blessed Sacrament

will be exposed following the Friday 8:00 AM Mass and will be reposed at 5:30 PM followed by Benediction. Weekly observance of the Stations of the Cross will follow in the Church each Friday beginning at 6:00 PM

Please consider giving an hour of your time to sit in the presence of the Lord on Fridays during the Holy Season of Lent.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Stations of the Cross will be held on the Fridays of Lent at 6:00 PM. We hope you will

join us for this traditional Lenten devotion. PLEASE NOTE: We have moved the

time for Stations of the Cross from 7:00 PM to 6:00 PM this year. We are hoping this earlier time will allow and encourage more people to attend this traditional and spiritual Lenten devotion.
