PARISH NEWS From our Pastor….

The Jewish people often linked sin with suffering: the Israelites lost battles because they had been unfaithful to God; the Galileans were often contentious rather than peaceful with the Romans, which got them in trouble or even killed. The tower in Siloam fell, supposedly because the Jews were building an aqueduct with temple money. Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D. because they did not accept Jesus’ words of “repent and reform your lives”—and Jesus had predicted it.

It is true that that individual sin and suffering are not necessarily connected. A person who steals may go to prison. On the other hand, many saints suffered at the hands of others.

National sin IS linked to suffering: When Americans as a collective whole (minus the minority who protest) choose consumerism over the well-being of people or the environment, the national debt and other problems increase. Likewise, if people choose abortion or euthanasia as a ‘quick fix’, it emphasizes a culture of death instead of a culture of life. If we don’t uphold our patriotism, the fabric of America will continue to unravel, and our identity will diminish.

This Lent, we are called to work on those areas of our lives that need redemption. As collective individuals, transformed by the love of God, we can bring more healing and life to our troubled world.

TRI-PARISH YOUTH MINISTER We need a new tri-parish youth minister. Job duties include coordinating the Youth Ministry program, Godparents program, retreats and trip opportunities, recruiting, training and forming volunteers and other related duties. If you are interested, submit a resume to Fr. Del Lape, Fr. Joe Miksch or Fr. Mike Swanton.

LENT During Lent we will have a 12:10 pm daily Mass, and on Mondays and Wednesdays we will NOT have an 8:15 pm Mass. Silence calls people to prayer in a more noticeable way. During Lent, there will be no music in the opening procession or closing recessional at Mass.

ABSTAINING For those over the age of 14: Every Friday is a day of abstinence. We must abstain from eating meat.

CONFESSIONS St. Bonaventure: Tuesday & Thursday 5:00-5:20 pm Saturday 3:30-4:30 pm St. Isidore: Thursday 5:30-6:30 pm Friday 6:30-8:00 am Saturday 3:30-5:00 pm

St. Anthony: Fr iday 7:00 pm (dur ing Stations) Saturday 4:00-5:00 pm

STATIONS Stations of the Cross: 7:00 pm in the Church and Spanish 5:30 pm in the church.

Youth Mission 2016 will meet next Sunday, March 6, 1:30-2:30 PM, in St. Isidore cafeteria. The Winnebago Indian Reservation, San Francisco, Brooklyn NY and Washington DC are the 4 locations chosen so far for next summer’s youth mission. Interested high school teens and parents can call Virgil at 402-285-2261, for more information.

ARCHBISHOP LUCAS WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU! As he seeks to more effectively shepherd the faithful of the Archdiocese of Omaha, Archbishop Lucas would like your input.

Over the next couple of months, Archbishop Lucas will host nine listening sessions to hear from as many people in the Archdiocese as possible as he discerns a Pastoral Priority Plan for our future. Following these sessions, the archbishop and his team will use your feedback to establish three overarching pastoral priorities and associated goals to foster more fruitful ministry throughout the archdiocese. Please keep this initiative in your prayers. Go to www.archomaha.org to rsvp.

NOTE: Each session runs from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Mar. 3 (SPANISH and ENGLISH) – Sacred Heart, Norfolk Mar. 28 – Scotus High School - Columbus

search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none.’” (Luke 13:7)

AROUND THE AREA

Apendiendo de la Fe… con el Padre Gregorio

La Semana Santa

Domingo de Ramos. Domingo de Ramos en la Pasión del Señor es el título litúrgico de este domingo que abre solemnemente la Semana San-ta, con el recuerdo de las Palmas y de la Pasión, de la entrada de Jesús en Jerusalén y la liturgia de la palabra que evoca la Pasión del Señor. La liturgia de las palmas anticipa en este domingo, llamado pascua florida, el triunfo de la Resurrección. La lectura de la Pasión nos invita a entrar conscientemente en la Semana Santa de la Pasión gloriosa y amorosa de Cristo el Señor. Jueves Santo. La liturgia del Jueves Santo es una invitación a profun-dizar concretamente en el misterio de la Pasión de Cristo, e iniciar nues-tra Semana Santa como la inició Jesús dando testimonio de la vocación al servicio del mundo. En este sentido, el Evangelio de San Juan presen-ta a Jesús "sabiendo que el Padre había puesto todo en sus manos, que venía de Dios y a Dios volvía" pero que, ante cada hombre, siente tal amor que, igual que hizo con sus discípulos, se arrodilla y le lava los pies, como signo de su amor a sus discípulos. Mandamiento del Amor, Institución de la Eucaristía y Ultima Cena. Aquella noche la entrega de Cristo llegó a hacerse sacramento permanente en un pan y en un vino que convierten en alimento su Cuerpo y Sangre. La misa de esa noche es la Cena del Señor. Hoy nuevamente se canta el Gloria. La Hora Santa: finalizada la Misa de la Institución de la eucaristía el Santísimo queda expuesto. En muchas comunidades se celebra entonces la adoración Solemne y luego se suceden distintos grupos que adoran al Señor en la custodia a lo largo de toda la noche del Jueves Santo, hasta la Adoración de la Cruz. Viernes Santo. La tarde del Viernes Santo presenta el drama inmenso de la muerte de Cristo en el Calvario. La cruz erguida sobre el mundo sigue en pie como signo de salvación y de esperanza. Con la Pasión de Jesús contemplamos el misterio del Crucificado, con el corazón del dis-cípulo Amado, de la Madre, del soldado que le traspasó el costado. Hoy no se celebra la Eucaristía en todo el mundo. El altar luce sin mantel, sin cruz, sin velas ni adornos. Recordamos la muerte de Jesús. Los ministros se postran en el suelo ante el altar al comienzo de la ceremonia. Son la imagen de la humanidad hundida y oprimida, y al tiempo penitente que implora perdón por sus pecados. Van vestidos de rojo, el color de los mártires: de Jesús, el primer testigo del amor del Padre y de todos aque-llos que, como él, dieron y siguen dando su vida por proclamar la libera-ción que Dios nos ofrece.
