The Final Pastor’s Point The last day of March will be the “Final Pastor’s Point” published each week in the parish bulletin. For three years I tried to make a point each week regarding Christian liv-ing as found in the Scriptures and Catholic teaching. It was never written to be entertaining. While everyone wants to be entertained, I don’t think that our Catholic Faith was in-tended for that. Yes, the Catholic Faith challenges us with living honestly and justly and that can make us uncomfort-able at times. It shouldn’t be compromised because of it. “The Pastor’s Point” was my way of supplementing my responsibility to preach, teach and sanctify the people I serve. It would seem like the point of the “pastor’s point” is often missed. Therefore, I will use the time it took each week to write it for something else. For those who did get “the point” I tried to make, es-pecially when it was about living the stewardship way of life, I hope it was helpful and if you got “the point” please continue to use it. I know with all my heart it will serve you well in living as a Disciple of Jesus Christ as it does me. I will always thank God for giving me the grace and in-sight to understand and embrace stewardship as our call to live closer to Him and the Church. For those who “get it,” good for you and may God bless you. For those who resist, ignore and reject it, I continue to pray for you which has always been my, your “pastor’s point,” and always will, even if it isn’t published in the bulletin. This concludes about 150 columns that I have written. But I pray that each week when the Sacred Scriptures are proclaimed, all of us will get our Lord’s point he is offering each of us. There are many other articles and announcements to read in the weekly parish bulletin that give you the latest news of what is going on in your Church family and ar-ticles that inform you about the Catholic Faith. Therefore, there is always “another point” out there for you to grasp.

vocation view—What stones are being moved away so you can be a minister of the Gospel? Who would you invite to consider being a sister, brother, priest, or deacon? Spread the good news: “Jesus is risen!” (John 20:1-9)

For too many of us, Lent is a season of doom and gloom, a time to feel bad about all the ways we are not “measuring up” in our spiritual lives. But this view could not be further from the truth. Lent is a season of refreshment and love, of awakening and rebirth. The Gospel Reading, the parable of the Prodigal Son, is filled with this theme of awakening and the extravagant, life-changing love that the Father has for each one of us. We are all familiar with this amazing story — the bratty younger son who has the audacity to ask his dad for his inheritance early, only to squander it sinfully away. It makes us bristle instinctively at his nerve when we read it. But isn’t that exactly what we do when we selfishly turn away from God (in big or small ways) in our own lives? We squander away the inheritance of grace He has given us. In desperation from the mess he had made of his life, the son finally “comes to his senses” — awakening to the truth that he is a beloved son of a loving and merciful father — and decides to return home. His contrition is faltering and imperfect and seems motivated in large part by his growling stomach. But it is enough for the loving father.

Sunday Readings and Backgrounds4th Sundaya of Lent • Week of March 31, 2019

Reading I : Joshua 5:9a, 10-12They ate the produce of the land.• The first reading recounts Israel’s rebirth in the land of

promise.• As the people crossed the Jordan River, they celebrated

Passover, just as they had when they crossed the Red Sea.• The period of wandering in the wilderness was over.Reading II : 2 Corinthians 5:17-21We are reconciled with God through Christ.• The main subject in Paul’s second letter to the Church

of Corinth is reconciliation.• Paul stresses reconciliation with God, with himself, and

with the Corinthian Community.• Through Christ, sinners are reconciled to God.Gospel : Luke 15:1-3, 11-32The son that was lost came back home.• In the presence of the Pharisees and Scribes, who are

outraged by Jesus’ treatment of sinners, Jesus tells the story of the return of the prodigal son.

• Today’s parable shows that God’s forgiveness is for everyone.

• God’s mercy and love is immeasurable and beyond human understanding.

In fact, as soon as the father catches sight of his son he is “filled with compassion for him” and immediately sets about preparing a feast and fine clothes for this son. What an extravagance of love! What a beautiful picture Jesus gives us of our Father’s love and mercy. Oh, how this should fill us with gratitude for such a Father! And how it should inspire us — with just the tiniest bit of spiritual “spring cleaning” we can be sure we will be swept up in our Fa-ther’s loving embrace and find ourselves feasting in His presence. That is what lent is all about.
