Fifth Sunday of Lent Page 2 Fifth Sunday of Lent March 13, 2016 I consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Philippians 3:8 STRAIGHT LINES God writes straight with crooked lines, the saying goes. The power of Paul s testimony that everything is junk but knowledge of Jesus and the power of his resurrection is a straight enough message. And, God knows, Paul had a crooked journey before his blinding insight straight from God. Through Isaiah, God reminds us all that the past great works were as nothing compared to the new creation. Can t you see it? we are asked, as if we are still wandering along our crooked lines. And there is no straighter line than that between the woman whose misery is intense and the God whose mercy in Jesus is deeper and more acute. You just can t beat this kind of good news. Copyright J.

Fifth Sunday of Lent Page 4 HAPPY ST. PATRICK S DAY 2016 St. Patrick s Day has helped the Irish celebrate who we are. Because of the success of the Irish in America, the Irish back home have a greater belief in themselves. From the early days after the Famine and after the American Civil War, when notices on nearly all places of employment said Irish need not apply, to President Kennedy in the White House and the two Fords who built automobiles and who made movies....the lot of the Irish in America gradually changed. Notre Dame, The Fighting Irish seems to have captured the spirit of Ireland no matter the odds, we have a fighting chance. 2016 is the centenary of the Irish Rebellion. In Ireland, the rebellion is known as The Easter Rising. It leadership was made up of teachers and scholars who wanted to preserve the Irish language and culture. Sixteen were executed by the British and they became the Martyrs whose blood won Irish freedom. During these last few years and under the encouragement of American politicians, Queen Elizabeth has brought peace to two neighbors. The process had moved us together but Queen Elizabeth helped us celebrate a new era of peace when she visited Ireland. This year Ireland celebrates its freedom, but like the United States, Ireland values its neighbor and ally. What has happened in our past cannot be forgotten, must be forgiven, and please God, be reflected in our future. The following poem tells of the hopes of a woman who was made homeless by the Famine. The poem was written by Padraic Colum, the Queen Mother s favorite poet. AN OLD WOMAN OF THE ROADS Oh, to have little house! To own the hearth and stool and all! The heaped-up sods upon the fire, the pile of turf against the wall! To have a clock with weights and chains and pendulum swinging up and down, a dresser filled with shining delph, speckled and white and blue and brown! And I am praying to God on high, and I am praying Him night and day, for a little house, a house of my own - out of the wind and rains way. God Bless, Fr. Mike ********************************************************************************************************** Giggles: If you can fool all the people some of the time that s enough to get elected. ********************************************************************************************************** March is a month you long for something green like money. ********************************************************************************************************** Murphy said, My wife eloped with my best friend.

March 13, 2016 Page 5 Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma 13 de marzo de 2016 Más aún pienso que nada vale la pena en comparación con el bien supremo, que consiste en conocer a Cristo Jesús, mi Señor. Filipenses 3:8 RENGLONES RECTOS Dios escribe derecho en renglones torcidos, dice el refrán. El testimonio contundente de san Pablo, cuando nos dice que todo es basura fuera del conocer a Cristo y experimentar la fuerza de su Resurrección, es un mensaje bien directo y claro aunque Dios sabe que Pablo anduvo por una senda bien torcida antes de recibir la luz cegadora del Señor. Isaías nos recuerda que los grandes milagros del pasado no son nada en comparación con la nueva creación que Dios va a realizar. No lo notan? nos pregunta el profeta, como si todavía anduviéramos perdidos por nuestras sendas torcidas. Y no hay renglón más derecho que la línea que conecta la intensa miseria de una mujer pecadora con la misericordia de Dios que se muestra en la persona de Jesús. Eso sí que son Buenas Nuevas!
