In today’s gospel, as his passion draws near, he reiterates this same condition: "Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit." To be a Christian is to be where Christ is: "Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be." And where is Christ? He is always pouring out his life for others on the cross, giving himself for the good of others through self-forgetful love. This is why in every Catholic church there is to be a crucifix with the figure of Christ hanging on it; to remind us of Christ's self-sacrifice on Calvary. If you walk into most Protestant churches, instead of a crucifix, you’ll see an unadorned cross with no figure of Jesus or a depiction of the Resurrected Christ. Protestants emphasize the power of the resurrection as assurance of life beyond the power of death. The use of a bare cross emphasizes that Jesus overcame his suffering and death and is Risen. Catholics, on the other hand, while not denying the power and importance of the Resurrection to our faith, use the image of Christ on the cross to emphasize the healing, redeeming power of Christ's suffering and death. When we see Jesus on the cross whenever we enter a church it serves as a constant reminder to us that his Passion was an act of total love, a complete giving of self—even to the point of death. By contemplating Christ on the cross, we are also reminded of Christ’s invitation to pick up our own crosses daily and follow him. As a consequence of sin, suffering and death entered the picture. But we can find meaning in our suffering by contemplating Christ’s Passion and death on the Cross and uniting our suffering to his. We also need to remember that God doesn’t leave us hanging. Through our baptism, we were baptized into Christ’s death but also into his Resurrection as Saint Paul reminds us in the Letter to the Romans. Although we do have to undergo pain and suffering in this life, our suffering is not without hope. Because Christ willingly offered his life for us on the Cross, we live always in the promise of new life ahead, and that promise gives us the courage and strength to bear our own crosses. We adore you O Christ, and we praise you, because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world! Today is Mayonnaise Sunday A simple meal has always been at the heart of the Catholic Worker - a meal served with dignity to all who dine at the Hospitality Kitchen. Your donations for our monthly Mayonnaise Sunday play a true role helping to make this possible. Thank you all at St. Cyril for your love and generosity in serving our poor.

We are still looking for volunteers, male or female, young or old, who wish to participate in the Holy Thursday liturgy by having their feet washed. If you would like to be part of the foot washing ritual please call the rectory. Friendship Circle The next dinner meeting of St. Cyril's Friendship Circle will be at Café Cordiale at 6pm on Monday, March 23rd. The address is 14015 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks. Please call Pat Kane at 818-784-4414 for reservations. All are welcomed and encouraged to join the camaraderie. Saint Faustina and the Message of Divine Mercy Join us in the Parish Hall after Mass on Saturday, March 21, & 28th at 5:15pm for DVD presentations on the amazing connection between the image of Divine Mercy and the Shroud of Turin. A 1st Class relic of St. Faustina will be present. For more information please contact Claudia at 818-342-6626. Join the school community on Tuesday, March 24th at Antonio’s Pizzeria, 13619 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks for a fundraiser. 20% of your check will be donated to the school. You can dine in or take out anytime from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. On Thursday, March 26th, the 7th Graders under the direction of Mrs. Susan Durham will be performing the Noh Stations of the Cross at 2:00 pm. Noh Theatre is a 500 year-old theatrical practice using silent actors in large costumes and white masks, moving so deliberately that they seem to float before your eyes. There are also ninjas, dressed all in black from head to toe, who carry and hold any objects involved in the presentation. These ninjas are also silent, and after a few minutes they "disappear" from your awareness, leaving you to focus on each Station. Since there is no speaking by the Noh Theatre actors, student narrators read reflections on each station after it is introduced by a teacher or other adult reader. The presentation is underscored by the solemn, moving music of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings." The parish community would like to thank Father Mac and the Music Ministry Program, under the direction of Mr. William Beck, for the beautiful and well attended Benediction of the Most Holy Sacrament, which was accompanied by Sir John Stainer's "The Crucifixion." This beautiful and sacred event allowed our community to delve more deeply into the meaning of Lent, and experience the traditions which bring beauty and goodness to our Faith and parish. We are especially grateful to the many volunteers and participants who made this event possible, especially Mr. Robert Brennan, the altar servers: Max Grushesky, Daniel Berrelez, Vin Vara and our exceptional choir, which includes our talented soloists: Daniel Plaster, Mark Kelley, David Rakita, Aaron Sternberg and Kyle Stephens. In addition to the many active participants, we would like to acknowledge and thank the many individuals who support our Music Ministry Program through their generosity in making events like this available to our community. We pray that all our parishioners will continue their Lenten journey with a renewed sense of the sacred as we approach Holy Week and the great Feast of Easter.
