3 Feb 25, Page 3 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 25th Saturday, March 3rd FEBRUARY 25 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT We can confess to know Jesus but then act like he is merely an acquaintance. Through our baptism, we stand with the entire communion of saints who can testify to the power of Jesus. Yet, our baptism can at times seem like an event many years ago without any real bearing on our lives today. This Lent, make no mistake: Jesus is alive and well and standing in unity with all the saints. We have the baptismal call to testify to that reality. As we enter into these Lenten mysteries- although we may not fully understand the power of Our God we must be mindful that he is Our Lord yesterday, today and forever. What does my baptismal call really mean to me? FEBRUARY 26 During Lent, we are called to repent and turn back toward God. That is only made possible by the mercy that our Father has for each of us. No one is too far away from God to return. No one has sinned to the point where God pulls back His mercy. We are all sinners before God, but by His grace, we can all be saved. Take God up on His offer of mercy. Return to Him and rest in His love. When was the last time I received the Sacrament of Penance? FEBRUARY 27 Humility does not mean we are not created as special beings. In fact, by virtue of being created in the image of God, we are special. Humility means that we know who God is and that we are not God. We do not try to raise ourselves above each other for we are all created as sons and daughters of God. Humility means we recognize that all we have and all we are is because of God. We are special, but we are nothing without God. Have I truly been humble in my relationships with others and with God? FEBRUARY 28 Kindness should know no limit. Whether we are engaged in systematic kindness towards others or looking for ways to perform random acts of kindness, we need to do so freely and without reservation. The kindness we show to one another will come back to us from Our Lord multiplied many times over. When we are kind to one another, we acknowledge and honor the Jesus within him or her. Who is a person I need to show extra kindness toward before this Lent is over? MARCH 1 Almsgiving is an important part of Lent. Hopefully, we are generous throughout the year. But during Lent, we are asked to keep the poor in the forefront of our minds. If you are still looking for a way to practice almsgiving during this Lenten season, it is not too late to get a Rice Bowl from Catholic Relief Services. Most parishes have them available, and it is a great way for the entire family to share a little with those in our world who need our help the most. How am I sharing my gifts this season with those in need? MARCH 2 Jesus gave his very life for us. He suffered ridicule, was beaten, and then led to Golgotha to be crucified. Those events were a long time ago, but during Lent, we focus on his sacrifice and what it means for the world. We must never reserve those events to history lessons and religion classes. We must enter into the story and reflect on these greatest actions of love for all of us. Have I considered attending Stations of the Cross in my parish this season? MARCH 3 Throughout our lives, we can find ourselves either closer to or further from God depending on our circumstances. Sometimes we are the prodigal; sometimes we are the faithful one. Either way, God loves us and longs for us to be even closer to Him. He will continue to run towards us each and every time. Where am I today in my relationship with God? Steve & Melinda, Walker Champion, Refugio Cardenas, Catherine Mendoza, Cristo Alfaro, Flora Saragosa, Jorge Martinez, Vera Leon, Rose Browning. Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the world, you have shouldered the burden of our weakness and borne our sufferings in your own passion and death. Hear this prayer for our sick brothers and sister whom you have redeemed. Strengthen their hope of salvation and sustain them in body and soul, for you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen. Maria Nhung Tuyet Tran, Maria Lucille Linh Lu, Dominico Ngo Van Bich, Cecilia Pham Thi Yen, Anna Anne Chau, Daminh Dinh Tran Viet, Maria Tran, Hoang My Tran, Maria Trinh Thi Tich. God, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for our departed brothers and sisters. Cleanse them of their sins and grant them the fullness of redemption. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

4 Feb 25, Page 4 St. Barbara s Parish News St. Katharine Drexel ( ) Founding of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament Katharine Drexel was born in Philadelphia on November 26, 1858, the second child of Hannah and Francis Anthony Drexel. Hannah died five weeks after her baby's birth. For two years Katharine and her sister, Elizabeth, were cared for by their aunt and uncle, Ellen and Anthony Drexel. When Francis married Emma Bouvier in 1860 he brought his two daughters home. A third daughter, Louise, was born in The children grew up in a loving family atmosphere permeated by deep faith. The girls were educated at home by tutors. They had the added advantage of touring parts of the United States and Europe with their parents. By word and example Emma and Francis taught their daughters that wealth was meant to be shared with those in need. Three afternoons a week Emma opened the doors of their home to serve the needs of the poor. When the girls were old enough, they assisted their mother. When Francis purchased a summer home in Torresdale, Pa., Katharine and Elizabeth taught Sunday school classes for the children of employees and neighbors. In 1889 Bishop O Connor agreed Katharine was called to be a religious, but in spite of her preference for a cloistered life, he urged her to found a congregation to work with the Black and Indian peoples. She hesitated, but, after taking it to prayer, accepted this as her vocation. She pronounced her vows as the first Sister of the Blessed Sacrament on February 12, She and thirteen companions moved into St. Elizabeth Convent in Bensalem in On the property they had erected a boarding school for black children that was connected to the chapel by a covered walk. Katharine began building schools on the reservations, providing food, clothing and financial support. Aware also of the suffering of the black people, she extended her love to them. During her lifetime, through the Bureau of Colored and Indian Missions, she supported churches and schools throughout the United States and abroad. Following the miraculous healing of Robert Gutherman s eardrum, St. Katharine was beatified in The healing of little Amy Wall s deafness opened the way for St. Katharine s canonization by Pope John Paul II on October 1, RECongress 2018 March 15 (Youth Day) & March 16-18, Congress Theme "Rise Up!" / " Levántate!" / "Hãy Đứng Lên!"

6 Feb 25, Page 6 COMUNIDAD HISPANA PROMESAS DE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRIS- TO A LOS QUE REZEN EL VIACRUCIS Yo concederé todo cuanto se me pidiere con fe, durante el rezo del Vía Crucis. Les concederé gracias especiales en esta vida, en la hora de la muerte gozarán de una gloria extraordinaria en el cielo. Los Viernes de Cuaresma les invitamos a rezar el Vía Crucis después de la Santa Misa de las 7:00 pm. Hagan extensiva esta invitación a sus familiares y amigos, para que nos acompañen a recorrer junto a la Santísima Virgen María, el camino de la Pasión y Muerte de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Por todas las personas afectadas por el ataque a la escuela de Parkland; por quienes murieron, por los heridos y por los que sufren la pérdida de un ser querido, oremos al Señor. Por la gracia para regresar a Dios, dador de la vida y origen de la verdad, oremos al Señor. Por la gracia ser signos vivos del consuelo y sanación de Dios, oremos al Señor. Por la gracia de alejar el corazón humano de la violencia y la venganza, oremos al Señor. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Regresando a los tres pilares de la conversión, el ayuno es mucho más que el simple hecho de no comer, es aprender a negarme a mí mismo para que ya no sea yo quien vivo, sino Cristo que vive en mí. Es el negarme de ciertas cosas para dar vida a los demás. El ayudar es poner en práctica la caridad y la justicia social. Es buscar el cargar con nuestra propia cruz y ayudar a los demás con la de ellos. En otras palabras, es practicar la misma generosidad de Dios quien hace caer la lluvia sobre los buenos y los malos, es amar sin distinción de personas. Contemporáneamente, el orar es entrar en conversación con Dios, es recogerse para entrar en la presencia de Dios, con todo lo que uno es y todo lo que uno tiene, poniendo todo en las manos misericordiosas del Padre que nos ama. Esta Cuaresma procuremos hacer lo que debemos hacer todo el año: ayunar, ayudar y orar. Es difícil, pero no nos desanimemos porque el Espíritu Santo viene a nuestro alcance porque donde somos más débiles, Cristo es nuestra fuerza. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM
