MARCH 24, 2019 THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT MID-LENT CHECK-IN God says to Moses, This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you.

As Jesus would later say, God is not a God of the dead, but of the living, and so we believe that the dead will one day rise.

Part of our repentance involves working to secure justice for all and helping our neighbor to live in God s ways.

2 MARCH 24, 2019 THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT MID-LENT CHECK-IN God says to Moses, This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you... The L, the God of your [ancestors], the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob (Exodus 3:14, 15). As Jesus would later say, God is not a God of the dead, but of the living, and so we believe that the dead will one day rise. At this midpoint of Lent, we pause to consider how our repentance is leading us to the Resurrection, to our reunion with the great I AM. Part of our repentance involves working to secure justice for all and helping our neighbor to live in God s ways. We encourage each other and nurture each other, like the compassionate gardener of today s Gospel, who tells the owner of the orchard that he will nurture the tree, fertilize it, and perhaps it will bear fruit. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. YOUNG LADIES INSTITUTE PRESENTATION Members of the Young Ladies Institute from District #1 San Francisco City and County, District #5 Marin County, and District #14 San Mateo County, will be celebrating today on March 24th at the 12:00 PM Noon Mass.

Our past Grand President and District Deputy Virginia Keegan will present the check. Please join us for this joyous occasion!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Hollywood has given us an image of Moses slipping off his shoes before a burning bush. God has just called Moses by name, and so that Moses doesn t miss the meaning of this breakthrough in human history, God requires that all barriers to the experience be eliminated. If you ve ever tried to maneuver barefoot across hot sand, or pick your way along a rocky beach, you know how sensitive feet can be. Within the Church, there are religious orders with a custom of going barefoot, not merely to show poverty, but to be an outward sign of a desire for connection with creation, a desire to go through life alert to what God is doing. In early days, when reconciliation was a once-in-alifetime possibility, penitents often went barefoot for a long period of time as a sign of their conversion. Even today, people follow an ancient practice of slipping off their shoes to walk in the procession to the cross on Good Friday. It is striking that the first use of our newlyscrubbed feet from Holy Thursday night is to walk resolutely in the footsteps of Christ to the cross. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

We affirm Pope Francis recent statement against anti-semitism, intolerance, and "excessive and depraved hate" In his remarks during a March 8th meeting with leaders from the American Jewish Committee, Pope Francis stressed the value of interreligious dialogue to promote peace, mutual respect, and the protection of life values Catholic Charities puts into practice every day as we serve people of all faiths and backgrounds in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties. Recent expressions of these values: For the full text of Pope Francis remarks to the American Jewish Committee visit pope-francis-receives-ajc-leadership-delegation-atvatican-strongly-denounces-anti-semitism.
