WRITTEN IN STONE The rules written on the stone tablets given to Moses are easy to remember, if not so easy to follow. Today we learn that the rules are no longer outside ourselves but that God has written them on our hearts. God says, "I will be their God and they shall be my people." We are now bound in a relationship with God and are not just following God's rules. The model for the relationship is Jesus. Jesus, Son though he was, was made perfect through his suffering and became the source of salvation for all of us, who are far less than perfect. Jesus describes this relationship as a grain of wheat, whole unto itself, that falls into the embrace of the earth and is broken in order to produce the life-sustaining wheat.

ESCRITO EN PIEDRA Las reglas escritas en las piedras que le fueron dadas a Moisés

son fáciles de recordar, pero no fácil de seguir. Hoy aprendemos que las reglas no están afuera de nosotros, sino que Dios las escribió en nuestros corazones. Dios dice "Yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo". Ahora esta-mos unidos en una relación con Dios y no sólo estamos siguiendo las reglas de Dios. El modelo para una relación es Jesús. Jesús, aun cuando es el Hijo, fue perfecto por medio de su sufrimiento y se hizo el origen de la salvación para todos nosotros que estamos lejos de la perfección. Jesús describe esta relación como un grano de trigo, entero en sí mismo, que cae en las entrañas de la tierra y se abre para producir el trigo que sustenta la vida.

Saint Ann 8AM| March 18, 2018 ENTRANCE: Soul of my Saviour Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast; Body of Christ, be thou my saving guest; Blood of my Saviour, bathe me in thy tide, Wash me with water flowing from thy side.

Strength and protection may thy Passion be; O blessed Jesus, hear and answer me; Deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me; So shall I never, never part from thee.

Guard and defend me from the foe malign; In death's dread moments make me only thine; Call me and bid me come to thee on high, Where I may praise thee with thy saints for aye. Acclamation: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ King of Endless Glory; We Praise you, we bless you, we worship and adore you Lord Offertory: Offertory: Servant song Will you let me be your servant? Let me be as Christ to you. Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.

We are pilgrims on a journey. We are trav'llers on the road. We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ light for you in the night-time of your fear. I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping. When you laugh, I'll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow till we've seen this journey through

When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony, borne of all we've known together of Christ's love and agony.

Will you let me be your servant? Let me be as Christ to you. Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too. COMMUNION : Sumasamba Sumasamo Sa iyo iaalay ang buhay at kalakasan. Sa pagkat ito ang nararapat sa katulad mong matapat; Dahil sa pag-ibig mo ang buhay ko ay nagbago

Sa t’wina ang ninanais ko ay laging maglingkod sa iyo Sumasamba sumasamo naghahandog sa ngalan mo Pagkat sa’yo ay nadama ang pagmamahal ng ama Sa iyong kabanalan, biyaya mo ay nakamtan Sa iyo ay may kagalakan at buhay na walang hanggan.

Tunay kang maginoo namalas ko sa kalbaryo buhay man inalay mo o kristo upang maligtas ang tao

Sumasamba sumasamo naghahadog sa ngalan mo ‘pagkat sa’yo ay nadama ang pagmamahal ng ama. COMMUNION 2: Now We Remain We hold the death of the Lord deep in our Hearts. Living, now we remain with Jesus, the Christ.

Once we were people afraid, lost in the night. Then by Your Cross we were saved, Dead became living, life from Your giving.

Something which we have known, something we've touched. What we have seen with our eyes, This we have heard, life-giving Word.

He chose to give of Himself, became our bread. Broken that we might live, Love beyond love, pain for our pain.

We are the presence of God; this is our call. Now to become bread and wine, Food for the hungry, life for the weary, For to live with the Lord, we must die with the Lord. Recessional : Time to Change It's time for us to make our dreams come true. A guiding voice will tell as what to do. It's a time to change ourselves and show the world. That we still care for men and will lead them there.

We'll lead them to aplace beyond the sea. A place of love where everyone is free. Don't despair the path to happiness is wide. If we must change our ways call on God for our guide.

Urge kids not to keep secrets from trusted adults Abusers o en encourage their vic ms to keep secrets from their parents or other trusted adults, and reinforce secrecy through bribes, threats or by making it seem fun and exci ng to keep a secret. Parents should talk to their kids about secrets, and teach them the difference between fun secrets like a birthday surprise and bad secrets like unsafe touches. Kids should know that adults should never ask them to keep secrets from their par-ents, and if an adult does ask them to keep secrets, to talk to their parents immediately.
