"Mothering Sunday" was on the Fourth Sunday of Lent. Long ago, people were freed from work to travel on this day to the parish where they were baptized, their "Mother Church." Often, people were reunited with their mothers on this day. Employers would release their workers and servants for this visit. The American celebration, while based on this custom, really has to do with an anti-war movement of mothers in Civil War times. They crusaded for better sanitary conditions for their sons. When President Wilson instituted the first Mother's Day in 1912, it was a day to fly the flag in honor of mothers whose children had died in battle. Knowing the tradition is a good balance to our celebration today. We can enfold in prayer the mothers who have suffered the loss of their children in war. Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S.

In the Acts of the Apostles Peter leads the assembly in prayer that the Lord will choose and commission the person to replace Judas among the Twelve. In the Gospel Jesus prays that his chosen disciples might be consecrated, or made holy. Jesus does not ask his Father to keep the disciples separate from the world, but instead sends them out into the world. While we might think that holy people are set apart from the world, we cannot hear today s scriptures without realizing that God s holy, chosen people are commissioned to live in the midst of the world, where they can reveal the love of God that makes the entire world holy. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. In honor of Our Lady of Fatima, the parish will have an additional Sunday Mass tonight. There will be a candlelight procession and 7:00pm Mass with a light reception to follow.

4 Religious Education Religious Education has now finished Wednesday evening classes.
