Deadline for accepting food donations is March 25 th. May 13 th Annual Memorial Mass and Dinner. 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. SAVE THE DATE Mount Carmel-St. Ann parishioners are invited to the Diocese of Worcester's Annual Mass for Life on Tuesday, March 25 (Feast of the Annunciation) 10:00 a.m., St. Paul s Cathedral, 19 Chatham Street, Worcester.

(John 4:13) Jesus reminds us that material things, even something as basic as water, can never satisfy us for long. When we build our lives around material possessions we always want more. True satisfaction only comes when we follow Jesus.

6 THE THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT MARCH 23, 2014 TAKE FIVE FOR FAITH Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will deepen and grow a day at a time. SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2014 THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT; FIRST SCRUTINY OF THE ELECT It s a time for revealing In many places of worship today those preparing to be baptized, confirmed, and receive their first Eucharist this Easter will participate in something called a scrutiny. In the church s liturgy this rite is formally known as a minor exorcism, but don t let that scare you. The scrutinies, the ritual says, 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. If you are in church today, you will be part of that strengthening, but you also might be reminded of some parts of your own life in need of scrutiny and healing. Lent is the perfect time to do that. TODAY S READINGS: Exodus 17:3-7; Romans 5:1-2, 5-8; John 4:5-42 (28). He told me everything I have done. MONDAY, MARCH 24 LENTEN WEEKDAY Not your way but God s Often when people pray they ask for something to turn out a certain way. The key to prayer, however, lies not in getting what you want but in putting things in God s hands. God is not a vending machine of divine favors: prayer in, end-of-problem out. Thy not my will be done, says the most famous prayer of all. God will respond to your prayers, but in God s way and according to God s limitless wisdom. Have faith: The outcome will be the best for all involved. You only have to listen for it. TODAY S READINGS: 2 Kings 5:1-15b; Luke 4:24-30 (237). Go and wash seven times in the Jordan... and you will be clean. TUESDAY, MARCH 25 SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD Art imitates life The Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus, has been a popular theme in Christian art through the centuries. Depictions go back to the earliest catacombs in Rome, and many great artists through the ages have taken up the theme. Rays of light falling on Mary, typically through a window, are a frequent metaphor for her virginal conception of Jesus. Every age expresses the miraculous story in its own way. Spend some time with the image in your mind and find a way to express its essential truth: that God is with you. TODAY S READINGS: Isaiah 7:10-14; 8:10; Hebrews 10:4-10; Luke 1:26-38 (545). Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26 LENTEN WEEKDAY School is in session In his sixth-century Rule, Saint Benedict, one of the founders of monasticism, described a monastery to be a school of the Lord s service. Now, schools are not everyone s favorite places. In the best sense of the term, however, a school is a good place to learn, and the Catholic Christian tradition offers a number of them. The liturgy, for example, is a school for prayer think of all the different kinds of prayer in the Mass and also for life: You learn to make yourself a living sacrifice in communion with Jesus. Scripture, the saints, and the church s moral teachings also offer learning opportunities to explore. It s time to get up and go to school! TODAY S READINGS: Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9; Matthew 5:17-19 (239). Hear the statutes and decrees which I am teaching you to observe. THURSDAY, MARCH 27 LENTEN WEEKDAY Heal the breach If you spend any significant time working or volunteering in a church community, you are likely to encounter conflicts and divisions. Churches may be divinely inspired, but they are run by all-too-human men and women, which means they are vulnerable to misunderstandings and division. Nothing is more distressing than a community divided. If you find your faith community in a time of crisis, be a reconciling spirit. Forgiveness and reconciliation take a little work it is so much easier to disagree! but they are well worth the effort. TODAY S READINGS: Jeremiah 7:23-28; Luke 11:14-23 (240). Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. FRIDAY, MARCH 28 LENTEN WEEKDAY; DAY OF ABSTINENCE Make an act of reparation On Lenten Fridays you might downplay the penitential nature of abstinence. That is because your no isn t entirely a negative value: It creates a place to fill with positives like spiritual reading, contemplation, and empathy. It would be unwise, though, to dismiss the penitential dimension of this act. There s plenty of sin in the world and in people. Jesus takes it away, but we re still the culprits. To do penance for sin, to share one pang of the suffering it causes, is a vital part of Christian tradition. Consider today s abstinence a full-body prayer asking for God s mercy on the sorrowing world. TODAY S READINGS: Hosea 14:2-10; Mark 12:28-34 (241). Return to the Lord. Say to him, Forgive all iniquity, and receive what is good. SATURDAY, MARCH 29 LENTEN WEEKDAY Good for others, good for yourself You may think of Lent as a time of penance and often assume that penance means doing something special out of love of God and for the good of others. Penance, however, is also an act of conversion, a turning around to a new direction, paying attention and seeing what you have been blind to. A bit of humility may be valuable in this conversion. Instead of I am not like other men, you might say, Welcome to the human race. You are not a special case and go home right with God. TODAY S READINGS: Hosea 6:1-6; Luke 18:9-14 (242). Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted by TrueQuest Communications. TakeFiveForFaith.com; ; mail@takefiveforfaith.com. All rights reserved.
