Jesus satisfies our thirst for eternal life. Through his Spirit his grace

has been poured into our hearts. God satisfies the thirst of the Israelites whose hearts had become hardened and rebellious.

Lenten Bible Study

"...for us men and for our salvation." Just what does that mean, "Salvation"? Join us this Spring for an inspiring video series and discussion to find out!

Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber will offer a thorough, deeply Catholic and deeply biblical answer through the Lectio: Salvation video series available on FORMED. Based on the best-selling book, Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know, this 10-part series is inspiring, engaging, and accessible to anyone. Group discussion will follow each showing. Marybeth Schombert will facilitate.

The series runs for 10 weeks. All sessions are held in the Parish Center. Tuesday sessions begin at 10:30 am and Wednesday sessions begin at 6:30 pm.

No preregistration required. All are welcome.

Every Friday of Lent

Prayer Shawl

10:00 am – 12:00 noon The Prayer Shawl Ministry Group has knitted and crocheted prayer shawls for those in emotional or physical need. Please stop by the office to pick one up for yourself or someone else who would appreciate having one. If you like to knit or crochet or would like to learn, join us every Friday during Lent, from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon in the St. Mary room of the Parish Center.

Lenten Soup Lunch

1:00 pm The Church of St. Mary is offering our “Lenten Soup Lunch” after the 12:15 Mass each Friday of Lent. You are invited to join us in the Parish Center for a bowl of soup and an opportunity to meet and greet fellow parishioners who share this Lenten journey with you. Donations to Catholic Relief Service’s “Rice Bowl” will be accepted during each lunch.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

7:00 pm Join us each Friday of Lent at 7:00 pm for Stations of the Cross and Benediction. It is a powerful way to enter into the Lord’s Passion and Death – His journey to Calvary and His dying on the Cross for our sins. This Lenten season consider participating in this truly meaningful Lenten devotion as a family.

Liturgical celebrations &

public health concerns

A message from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Divine Worship:

We continue to monitor with concern the questions that are arising about the spread of the Corona virus. You may recall that this office offered similar advice in 2009 in connection with the pandemic of the influenza virus (H1N1 or “swine flu”).

Fundamentals that always apply:

• assure the faithful that if they are sick or are experiencing symptoms of sickness they are not obliged to attend Mass, and even that out of charity they ought not to attend.

Precautionary measures:

• the sign of peace will be exchanged without physical contact. • the Our Father will be recited without physical contact. • the distribution of Holy Communion to the faithful via the chalice is suspended.

Excerpted from USCCB Memo dated February 28, 2020.

Please do not bring flowers

into the church during Lent.

† III domingo De Cuaresma †

Jn 4, 5-15. 19b-26. 39a. 40-42 En aquel tiempo, llegó Jesús a un pueblo de Samaria, llamado Sicar, cerca del campo que dio Jacob a su hijo José. Ahí estaba el pozo de Jacob. Jesús, que venía cansado del camino, se sentó sin más en el brocal del pozo. Era cerca del mediodía. Entonces llegó una mujer de Samaria a sacar agua y Jesús le dijo: “Dame de beber”. (Sus discípulos habían ido al pueblo a comprar comida). La samaritana le contestó: “¿Cómo es que tú, siendo judío, me pides de beber a mí, que soy samaritana?” (Porque los judíos no tratan a los samaritanos). Jesús le dijo: “Si conocieras el don de Dios y quién es el que te pide de beber, tú le pedirías a él, y él te daría agua viva”. La mujer le respondió: “Señor, ni siquiera tienes con qué sacar agua y el pozo es profundo, ¿cómo vas a darme agua viva? ¿Acaso eres tú más que nuestro padre Jacob, que nos dio este pozo, del que bebieron él, sus hijos y sus ganados?” Jesús le contestó: “El que bebe de esta agua vuelve a tener sed. Pero el que beba del agua que yo le daré, nunca más tendrá sed; el agua que yo le daré se convertirá dentro de él en un manantial capaz de dar la vida eterna”. La mujer le dijo: “Señor, dame de esa agua para que no vuelva a tener sed ni tenga que venir hasta aquí a sacarla. Ya veo que eres profeta. Nuestros padres dieron culto en este monte y ustedes dicen que el sitio donde se debe dar culto está en Jerusalén”. Jesús le dijo: “Créeme, mujer, que se acerca la hora en que ni en este monte ni en Jerusalén adorarán al Padre. Ustedes adoran lo que no conocen; nosotros adoramos lo que conocemos. Porque la salvación viene de los judíos. Pero se acerca la hora, y ya está aquí, en que los que quieran dar culto verdadero adorarán al Padre en espíritu y en verdad, porque así es como el Padre quiere que se le dé culto. Dios es espíritu, y los que lo adoran deben hacerlo en espíritu y en verdad”. La mujer le dijo: “Ya sé que va a venir el Mesías (es decir, Cristo). Cuando venga, él nos dará razón de todo”. Jesús le dijo: “Soy yo, el que habla contigo”. Muchos samaritanos de aquel poblado creyeron en Jesús por el testimonio de la mujer: ‘Me dijo todo lo que he hecho’. Cuando los samaritanos llegaron a donde él estaba, le rogaban que se quedara con ellos, y se quedó allí dos días. Muchos más creyeron en él al oír su palabra. Y decían a la mujer: “Ya no creemos por lo que tú nos has contado, pues nosotros mismos lo hemos oído y sabemos que él es, de veras, el Salvador del mundo”.

Help for Those with Hearing Loss

St. Mary Parish has purchased three Listen Display Receivers which are connected to the church’s sound system. By plugging in a set of earphones, ear buds or head phones, a parishioner will get assistance to hear what is going on in the Mass. The devices will be available to be checked out for use before each Mass and would need to be returned at the conclusion of Mass. Anyone wishing to check out a receiver must sign up ahead of time in the Parish Office.

Due to the cost of each receiver, only a limited number are available so they will be handed out at each Mass on a first come first serve basis. Anyone wishing to contribute to the purchase of more receivers should contact Marybeth in the Parish Office at 541-342-1139.
