A Letter from Father... Page 2 March 6, 2016 Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan women: If you knew the gift of God! You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate everyone of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this though the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen Mass of the Anointing of the Sick March 12, 2016 at 8:00 am here at St. Francis de Sales Followed by a Continental Breakfast in the Multipurpose room For more information please contact: Cecelia Mcgrath (951) 682-4134 St. Francis De Sales Catholic School 4205 Mulberry St Riverside, CA 92501 Principal: Kathy Kothlow Phone: (951) 683 5083 Day Care: (951) 683 5006 www.sfdslions.com Next Sunday March13th,2015, begins Daylight Saving Time.

Fourth Sunday of Lent Page 6 March 6, 2016 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION One of the first steps to a Catholic wedding takes place in the parish rectory, as the newly engaged come forward to set a date. We owe this scenario to reforms made by the emperor Charlemagne late in the eighth century. He required that nobles and commoners alike have public weddings, and also required that marrying couples be examined for factors that would block a marriage, such as previous marriages or close kinship. The pope was more conservative, however, and resisted the emperor s creativity. It was enough for the pope that the couples exchange consent. That tradition is passed on to this day, to some couples surprise. In 866, Pope Nicholas ruled that a marriage was legal and binding even without a liturgy or public celebration. After that, it was the consent of the couple, not the blessing of parents or priest that make a marriage count. If consent was lacking, such as through abduction or fear, then the marriage could not take. Charlemagne got a great deal done, but he was a political flash in the pan, and the empire had virtually collapsed by the year 1000. Europe broke into a checkerboard of princedoms and languages, and at last all marriages came under the church, the glue holding the known world together. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuaresma es tiempo de reconciliación por medio del perdón. En este espíritu, el Papa san Juan Pablo II pidió perdón por pecados cometidos por la Iglesia. Uno de estos pecados es la manera como América fue cristianizada. La relación del latino con la religión católica ha sido entre buenas intenciones y antagonismos. Gracias a Dios, somos cristianos! Lamentablemente, nuestro bautizo, en la mayor parte de los casos, fue en agua bendita y sangre indígena a la vez, ya que América fue evangelizada con cruz y espada. Los pobres misioneros que con fatiga, predicaron en nuestras tierras venían acompañados por hombres poderosos en busca de riquezas. El filósofo romano-español Séneca (siglo I) afirmaba: "la religión es algo que para la persona común es verdad, para el sabio es falso y para el poderoso es útil". A su vez, el romano-judío Pablo de Tarso declara que en Cristo, Dios ha revelado que la persona común y necia derribará la falsedad de los sabios (1 Cor 1:18-31). El latino creyente reconoce que su fe nació del dolor de la conquista y no niega los abusos clericales, pero confía en el Evangelio reconciliador.
