ALTAR FLOWERS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ($60 for one large bouquet or two small) No Altar Flowers During Lent VOTIVE CANDLES 3/12 In Loving Memory of Danny Sciarretta

ROSARY NOTE The rosary is said at 8:30 AM before the daily mass Monday through Saturday in Our Lady’s Chapel.

In the desert of our lives there are plenty of complaints. Bills are too high. Friends are too few. Health is too frail. Faith is too weak. In the desert of our lives there is plenty of blame. Our leaders are unconcerned. Children are too demanding. Society is sinful. Life is not fair.

In the desert, the people of Israel grumble against Moses. They have too little water, and they are blaming Moses. Moses blames God, and asks for some divine intervention.

God promises Moses, “I will stand in front of you on the rock.” Moses strikes that rock, and water gushes forth.

Life brings its share of struggle. We sometimes rebel against the very place where God has invited us to be. We forget that God has given us life, has entered into covenant with us, and stands ever before us. So we complain. We may not realize that we are standing right at the water for which we thirst.

The discomforts of your life will not be hard to name. Have you brought some of them on yourself? Has God placed some of them in your path? Do you trust that God stands with you, water at the ready? From where will that water come?

We remember in sympathy the following parishioner that passed away: 3/1/17 Jerome Bradley

Stations of the CrossStations of the CrossStations of the CrossStations of the Cross

Paul TurnerPaul TurnerPaul TurnerPaul Turner

The 14 Stations of the Cross adorn the walls of almost every Catholic Church and chapel. Many parishes commemorate the Fridays of Lent with a prayerful remembrance of the passion of Christ by walking the stations with him. Throughout our history, Christians have longed to literally walk in the footsteps of Christ. The shrines of the holy places in and around Jerusalem have drawn pilgrims inspired by the life and death of their master. However, not everyone is able to travel to the Holy Land. So, ever since the Middle Ages, churches and chapels began erecting images devoted to an aspect of the passion. By the 15th century, the Franciscans had developed a devotion they called “stations.” The word means a place where people stand still or gather together. So even though it implies something “stationary,” the service obviously must include the movement of pilgrims following the footsteps of Christ. It took a while to fix the number and the names of the stations, but in 1731 Pope Clement XII established the 14 we know today. We still find some variations on the number. Many places add a 15th station, for example, the resurrection of Jesus. Discontent with leaving Christ in the tomb when our faith expresses so much more, worshipers have found consolation in completing the story of the cross. Over the years our church has authorized various versions of the stations for different occasions. For example, Pope John Paul II altered the traditional stations for his Good Friday service in Rome. He eliminated some stations that derived from tradition, and substituted them with events from the Gospels. Here are the stations he used: 1. Jesus in the Garden of Olives; 2. Jesus betrayed by Judas; 3. Jesus condemned to death by the Sanhedrin; 4. Jesus denied by Peter; 5. Jesus judged by Pilate; 6. Jesus flogged and crowned with thorns; 7. Jesus carries his cross; 8. Jesus is helped by Simon of Cyrene; 9. Jesus encounters women of Jerusalem; 10. Jesus is crucified; 11. Jesus promises the kingdom to the good thief; 12. Jesus on the cross; 13. The mother of Jesus and his disciple at the cross; 14. Jesus is placed in the tomb. The stations inspire us all to follow Christ through suffering to peace.

Special Note: The first Lenten Dinner comes with a big THANK YOU and an apology. I want to thank all of the wonderful folks who came to the first Lenten dinner to help support our Church. It was a tremendous turn out. I thank all for their support, understanding, and patience. Unfortunately, we had a few key volunteers who were unable to attend due to illness. I have developed procedures which should rectify the difficulties that we experienced with service at the first Lenten Dinner. For those who waited an inordinate amount of time, please accept my humble apologies. As coordinator of this great event I accept full responsibility for any inconvenience you may have incurred. Trustfully in God, Don Vosnick.
