These Rites are celebrated to help deliver the elect from the power of sin and Satan, to protect them against temptation, and to give them strength in Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (RCIA 141). The Rites of Scrutiny are meant to uncover, and then heal, all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the elects hearts and to bring out through repentance all that is upright, strong, and good. Three Scrutinies are celebrated in the parish community on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of Lent, after the homily. The Scripture readings for the Scrutinies come from Cycle A of the Lectionary. The celebrations of the Scrutinies also remind the whole parish community of the need to reflect on their own sins and the need for God s help. HOW MIGHT THE SCRUTINIES OF THE RCIA PROCESS HELP THE PARISH AS A WHOLE? On the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent we also participate in the Scrutinies. The universal Church hears the stories of the Samaritan woman, the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus. These readings were chosen to be the driving force of prayerful introspection, surrender, and conversion. They offer powerful images of sin, surrender, conversion, faith and healing. In our faith journey with those seeking Baptism, we must stir our souls, as if they were dying campfires, to expose any parts of ourselves that have not been purified by the burning love of the Holy Spirit. We are challenged with the Samaritan woman at the well when we thirst for the Lord, who knows what we need and provides it; we beg, with the man born blind, to see Jesus, who is the light and gives us sight; and finally we lie with Lazarus within the tomb of oblivion and death, built with the stones of our own sins, until Jesus reaches out his hand and pulls us from the pit. Take this gift of the Church and use this group of readings as Lenten reflections. 1st Scrutiny 2nd Scrutiny 3rd Scrutiny (3rd Sunday of Lent) (4th Sunday of Lent) (5th Sunday of Lent) Exodus 17:3-7 1 Samuel 16:1b,6-7,10-13a Ezekiel 37:12-14 Psalm 95:1-2,6-9 Psalm 23:1-6 Psalm 130: 1-2, 3-4, 5-7 Romans 5: 1-2, 5-8 Ephesians 5:8-14 Romans 8:8-11 John 4:5-42 John 9:1-41 John 11:1-45 Where are the readings found in our Gather Books?

5 DIOCESE OF ROCHESTER PERMANENT DIACONATE: HAVE FURNITURE YOU NO LONGER NEED? WE RECEIVE THE GIFT OF EVANGELIZATION FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY Saturday, March 3 at 10AM Parish Office-Large Meeting Room Prayer Shawl Ministry will begin meeting again from 10AM to noon on Saturday March 3 at St. Jude Worship Site. Come join members of our three parishes who gather the first Saturday of the month to knit and crochet prayer shawls and lap blankets for our sick and homebound parishioners. These lovingly created mantles serve as reminders of our prayers and God s love for those who are suffering and lonely. Free knitting and crocheting instruction is provided. Call Bethany Jobe at or knittingsensei@outlook.com (put prayer shawl ministry in the subject line) for more information. If you re downsizing or remodeling and have furniture in good condition you no longer need, we would appreciate it if you would consider donating it to the next-to-new sale. With winter weather upon us, pick-up will be on hiatus until the spring. Pick -up will resume in April... Or sooner if we have a mild winter... Here s hoping! The deacon is a man of faith, who is called from the community that already recognizes his dedication to service. He makes a lifetime commitment to serving the People of God by proclaiming the Word, assisting and presiding at liturgies, and ministering in the areas of charity and social justice. A deacon gives witness to his availability to the community by addressing present and emerging needs of the Church. The Diocese is inviting interested men of strong and active faith, who can demonstrate a record of service in the communities in which they live, work and worship, who may wish to explore a possible call to ordained ministry as a permanent deacon, to first speak with their pastor for an initial conversation. They may also contact Deacon Edward Giblin, Director of the Office of the Permanent Diaconate, at edward.giblin@dor.org, for additional information. A potential candidate must be at least 35 years of age and no older than 62 years of age at the time of ordination after a five (5) year period of formation. He must be in good health, emotionally mature, have stable relationships and must have the wholehearted support of his wife (if married) and family to enter the phase of inquiry. Because the parish is the primary experience of Church for most inquirers, the parish community is asked as well to invite from among its members men who exhibit strong faith and a spirit of service and encourage them to consider a possible vocation to the permanent diaconate.

8 FINANCIAL UPDATE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, JUNE 30, 2018 Weekly Collection for February 18, 2018 NOT AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PUBLICATION Budgeted Weekly: $16,779 This Week s Collection: Variance: HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT? "Creating a Legacy" What do I leave behind? How will I be remembered? To create a legacy you can begin by pre-planning your own funeral and conveying your wishes to your executor, spouse, children and loved ones. Have you taken some time to consider this? There are many worthy charities that hold great importance and personal connection to a family. For that reason, if a Catholic attends church every week and holds a great importance to have their life and death celebrated with a Funeral Mass, is it not also important to consider the church as a possible charity for a donation? As you make your arrangements, please take into account the significance your faith has held in your life. When you draw up your Last Will and Testament and plan for your funeral, remember the importance of including your church in those plans. Your devotion to your beliefs and church can be honored by making sure the Parish of the Holy Family is listed as one of your charities. Request that donation envelopes be made available at your Wake and Funeral Mass. Also when writing up the obituary for the newspaper (or website) include these words, "Please consider making a donation to The Parish of the Holy Family in lieu of flowers". Remember, the legacy of your gift, and gifts from family and friends will help provide the financial strength to continue the good works of the church you held so dear in sharing the Good News of our Lord. REGISTRATION REQUEST FORM It is always a great joy to welcome new members to our Community. Are you interested in becoming a member of the Holy Family Community or would you like further information on our parish? Please cut this coupon out and put it in the collection basket. We will then have a member of our Welcoming Committee contact you to complete the Registration Form and/or share information with you. Name Address Phone 8

9 SUNDAY READINGS - March 4, Third Sunday of Lent 1st Reading - Exodus 20:1-17 2nd Reading -1 Corinthians 1:22-25 Gospel - John 2:13-25 Signs and wonders capture our attention. Seeing is believing, or so the skeptics say. Though miraculous signs and wonders capture our attention seldom do they energize and sustain faith in the disbeliever. C.S. Lewis refers to this phenomenon in his book Letters to Malcomb, I have only known one person in my life who claimed to have seen a ghost. It was a woman; and the interesting thing is that she disbelieved in the immortality of the soul before seeing the ghost, and still disbelieved after having seen it. She thinks it was a ZZ hallucination. In other words, seeing is not believing. Jesus knew of this fickle aspect of humanity; we love to be amazed but hate to be convinced, when it comes to our religious beliefs. Don t confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up, and You can change my experience, but don t change my theology, seem to be common reactions. And so, though Jesus was moved with compassion to perform miracles on behalf of those in need, He chose not to play to the galleries. For believers, signs and wonders are frosting on the cake, so to speak. These miraculous manifestations do not convince us that the things of Christ are true, but rather because we are convinced that the things of Christ are true, miraculous manifestations simply become a validation of our already active faith. The people of Israel continually sought and asked for a sign, even though Jesus had performed so many of them. And though He was unwilling to pander to their unbelief, He did provide for them one final, convincing sign. A sign which most chose to ignore. Jesus crucifixion, burial and resurrection is the most convincing sign imaginable for those who are willing to believe. These people saw Him crucified and left hanging until they were convinced that there was no longer life in Him. They insured that He was buried and guarded by elite Roman soldiers. The guards knew that He had miraculously arisen, and they must have satisfactorily explained this to the leaders, or else they would have been put to death themselves for dereliction of duty. Instead, they were spared so that they could join in the misinformation campaign. They knew there was no battle at the tomb to steal His body away. If His body had been stolen surely one of the guards would have seen who did it. Yet, none of His disciples were ever pursued for grave robbing, though they walked about openly. Instead, they were only pursued for testifying to His resurrection. The Israelite leaders saw verification again and again that He was truly alive. In the immediate forty days after Jesus arose, witness after witness came forth in spite of the threatening environment, over five hundred people in fact, to confess that they had seen and talked with the risen Jesus. Do you think that there was a serious doubt in these leaders minds? The sign had been seen! But because they were disinclined to believe, the sign became meaningless to them. In our own life we must be honest and ask the question: Are there areas of my life that I am holding back under the false pretense of needing a sign from God? Surely He has given us all the signs that we need, and today is asking us to live by faith, following Him in a spirit of trust and surrender. Do not be afraid to open your hearts to Christ. Allow Him to come into your lives, into your families, into society. In this way, all things will be made new. CHECK OUT FORMED: for a different view point on this weeks Sunday readings...
