5 THE SIXTH SUNDAY OF LENT APRIL 6, 2014 GRADUATION DAY GRADUATION DAY! Not only could this happen, but with God s love for us, it DOES happen. We just don t stop long enough sometimes to see it. During these days of lent, hold on to this message and give thanks to God for everything. May we always have eyes to see what wonders God has prepared for us today. A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study, told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed him a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible behind. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old. He thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. But before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to him. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important documents and saw the Bible, new, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?" As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...paid IN FULL. How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? LENT~SCRUTINIES & RCIA Lent is a period reflection, repentance and renewal in preparation for the celebration of the Pascal Mystery (Easter). This is a period of more intense spiritual preparation, consisting of a more interior reflection and is intended to purify our minds and hearts. Our RCIA catechumen and candidate will be entering this period in a special way as well. They have been receiving catechetical instruction since October and are now entering this period of purification and enlightenment. This period is intended to purify their hearts and minds with a deeper knowledge of Christ the Savior, as we all are called to do during the season of Lent. On the third, fourth and fifth Sundays of Lent, our parish will be celebrating certain rites a series of Scrutinies. The celebration of these rites brings about the process of purification and enlightenment and extends it over the course of the entire Lenten season. The Scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong and good. During this season, all of us are called to take part and scrutinize our own lives--to allow God to seek, uncover and then heal all that is weak and separates us from Him. Our Triune God then will bring out and strengthen all that is good in us. We invite you to take part in and support our catechumen, Natalie Schinco and our candidate, Jarisca Vargas in the celebration of the scrutinies during the 11:30 am Mass and continue to pray for them and each other during this Lenten season.

6 THE SIXTH SUNDAY OF LENT APRIL 6, 2014 TAKE FIVE FOR FAITH Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will deepen and grow a day at a time. SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 2014 FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT; THIRD SCRUTINY OF THE ELECT Take a look at your life The Scrutinies of the third, fourth, and fifth Sundays of Lent are ancient rites that are part of the process that brings those who have asked for Baptism into the church. Though they may seem foreign, they are rooted in human wisdom cultivated over the ages. Examining scrutinizing how you live day to day, you discover areas of your life where you fall short as well as areas where you have been kind and loving. The best support you can offer those who are joining the church is to engage in an honest scrutiny of your own life. In this way the entire faith community is built up. TODAY S READINGS: Ezekiel 37:12-14; Romans 8:8-11; John 11:1-45 (34). If one walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. MONDAY, APRIL 7 When hypocrisy looks like piety American composer Carlyle Floyd retells the story of the biblical Susannah in his opera set in rural Tennessee. Susannah is accused of bathing naked in a river, a sin in the eyes of Christian men who spy on her. Distraught, Susannah asks her brother, Sam, What s it all about? It s about the way people is made, I reckon, he responds. An how they like to believe what s bad. / How short they are on lovin kindness. / It must make the good Lord sad.... / At seein how men treat one another / An say they re doin it all fer His sake. TODAY S READINGS: Daniel 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, or 13:41c-62; John 8:1-11 (251). Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone. TUESDAY, APRIL 8 No complaints, please! Do you ever find yourself complaining about abundance? Too much food, too many t-shirts, too many gadgets, too many events on the calendar! The grumbling of the ungrateful has a long biblical tradition. In the desert years, the Israelites complained about the wretched food they were forced to eat daily. It s shocking to realize they were complaining about manna, once celebrated as bread from heaven and now consumed with contempt! If you re tempted in the upcoming weeks to grumble about so many extra liturgies in church, take a minute to recall what these services are commemorating, and give thanks. TODAY S READINGS: Numbers 21:4-9; John 8:21-30 (252). Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9 Is your response programmed? Pavlov s dog taught a humbling lesson: how easily behavior can be manipulated and controlled. Ring the dinner bell, you salivate. Pass the donut shop and you reel at the thought of a Bavarian cream. In the biblical book of Daniel, citizens were obliged to worship a statue each time the king s band played the Idolatry Theme Song. Most folks got into the rhythm. Three men said no and wound up in the furnace. Do you trust heaven enough to just say no when everyone around you embraces the patterns of fashion or materialism? TODAY S READINGS: Daniel 3:14-20, 91-92, 95; John 8:31-42 (253). Be ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made, whenever you hear the sound of the... musical instruments. THURSDAY, APRIL 10 And now for the moment of truth... The big reveal is an important plot device used to add an unexpected twist to a storyline. Examples include Star War s Luke Skywalker hearing the words: I am your father, spoken by Darth Vader, his sworn enemy. Or Breaking Bad s chemistry-teacher-turned-drug-kingpin Walter White telling his wife, I am the one who knocks in response to her concerns about danger at the door. But no reveal in any story ancient or modern is more stunning than when Jesus tells his detractors: Before Abraham came to be, I AM. In that one moment the truth of Jesus full identity is revealed: He and Yahweh (I AM), the God of Israel, are one. And this big reveal comes with an even bigger payoff: life everlasting. TODAY S READINGS: Genesis 17:3-9; John 8:51-59 (254). Whoever keeps my word will never see death. FRIDAY, APRIL 11 MEMORIAL OF STANISLAUS, BISHOP, MARTYR An unimpeachable witness One of the engaging things about saints from centuries ago like Stanislaus (b. 1030) is the legends that spring up about them perhaps not true in a literal way but often carrying kernels of wisdom of a deeper order. Bishop Stanislaus is said to have brought a man who had been dead three years back to life in order to foil a land-grabbing plot of a nefarious king. Given three days to produce a witness to the church s claim on the land, he prayed ceaselessly before calling the seller of the land from the grave to testify on his behalf. The take-away? God hears and responds to your fervent prayers. TODAY S READINGS: Jeremiah 20:10-13; John 10:31-42 (255). If I... perform my Father s works... even if you do not believe me, believe the works. SATURDAY, APRIL 12 Life is more than getting from point A to point B An ancient Greek philosopher said you can t dip your toe in the same river twice. Once a moment in time passes, it s gone for good. Human beings, however, have also recognized time as cyclical. Easter reminds you of that view. It teaches you that life isn t an inexorable forward march toward death. Christians get to step out of linear time, not only at the end of life but during it as well. TODAY S READINGS: Ezekiel 37:21-28; John 11:45-56 (256). Now the Passover... was near, and many went up... to Jerusalem... to purify themselves by TrueQuest Communications.
