The episode of the woman caught in adultery is a powerful story. We have perhaps all felt as the woman has at some point in our lives, surrounded by those who would condemn us. The beauty of Christ's mercy at the end is clear...and a welcome relief as we all struggle to be good and holy people. But have we ever imagined ourselves on the edge of the circle? Have we pictured ourselves in the sea of dusty robes? Perhaps, we hope, we're hovering at the edge of the circle of judgment. But we've all been there. How easy it is to be righteous when someone else's reputation is at stake. When the small child is acting up in the grocery store or on the plane. When another company has a scandal break or a major error sets back their profits. Could it be easy to pick up the stone and feel its weight and heft in our hands? Because if we've got a stone in our hands, our own righteous category is clear. Our judgment is our insurance that we won't be on the receiving end of the criticism. If we can point out a wrong, surely we are firmly in the right. "'Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her'... they went away one by one." This Lent, not only are we invited to receive God's mercy, but to show God's mercy. As the season begins to wind to a close, consider those in your life you tend to judge the most harshly. What is one concrete way you can drop your stone? Ladies ~ Happy Springtime! ALL WELCOME!

Our funds come mostly from the poor box at the back of Church. The society serves all persons within the area of the church regardless of religious affiliation. To be contacted by the St. Vincent DePaul Society, call or visit the Holy Sepulcher Church. Thank You. PATZUN NEWS The Holy Sepulcher Patzun Committee is in need of large duffle bags for our travelers to carry supplies to Guatemala this summer. These would be the large size duffles, that would hold up to 50 pounds. It looks like we have about 10 travelers and each can carry 2 duffles. If you have any that we could borrow for our trip in July, please contact Gretchen Cararie RUN ACROSS GUATEMALA The Run Across Guatemala 5K Run/1 mile Walk is being held at 9am on Saturday, April 27 at the Harmar Pavilion, near North Park Pool. This walk/run benefits our Mission in Patzun, Guatemala. Cost is $25.00 for runners and $15.00 for walkers. There will be Baskets and a Raffle and free refreshments after the race. To sign up, go to INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK We are all sinners, and we all need mercy. If met with sincerity and true repentance of heart, an encounter with God's unconditional and all-forgiving love will lead to true conversion and a new life of grace. There is no point to condemnation or excessive punishment. We do not need to wag fingers or make people feel inferior. Jesus met the woman caught in adultery with compassion. He did not condemn her. People have not always been faithful to God. We have not always been faithful to God. Yet, God waits for us to return and trusts that His seeds of forgiveness and mercy will take root. We do not know if the woman left Jesus and sinned no more. It's not important. CHURCH MINISTRY SCHEDULE Apr. 14, :00 am Apr. 13, :00 pm Eucharistic Ministers L. Fey M. Johnson K. King C. Loncaric K.

4 PAGE 4 SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONFESSION THIS WEEK: Please note that in addition to other opportunities, Tuesday of this week (April 9th), confessions will be heard for an extended period of time (from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm) at Holy Sepulcher Church and three priests will be available. This is our parish response to The Light is On Initiative of the Diocese. In addition, confessions will be heard at Saint Kilian Church on Wednesday, April 10th, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm (with three priests available) also as part of The Light is On initiative. It was our thought that having two different nights would provide more of an opportunity than having six priests hear confessions on one night.

Bober, Deacon Miller PASSION READING ON PALM SUNDAY AND GOOD FRIDAY This year we will utilize the shorter version of the Passion provided in the Lectionary for Palm Sunday. This shorter version will enable the other parts of the Palm Sunday liturgy to be celebrated without any need to rush. The Passion will be read entirely by three readers. The people s part will be a sung response at intervals in the narrative. This method of reading encourages us to listen to the powerful Gospel narrative without the distraction of searching for individual phrases to recite. This method of reading the Passion will also be used in the Good Friday liturgy.
