From The Pastor
Holy Week Mass Schedule
Neither Do I Condemn You…
To the woman caught in adultery, Jesus was literally a
savior. She was about to suffer the death penalty, according to the law of Moses, by being stoned to death. But
the Lord preserved her life. He did not pretend she was
innocent or excuse her behavior. Rather, for Jesus,
“everyday” was his “Year of Mercy”. His love and forgiveness became an opportunity for her conversion. The
woman’s physical life was spared, and if she chose to
follow Jesus’ instruction to abandon sin, her spiritual life
was also saved as a result of this beautiful encounter.
We also have access to this mercy and freedom. In just a
couple short weeks, we will read from the Passion account of Jesus’ suffering and death. When he died on the
cross for us, Jesus became our savior too. Instead of condemning us, He set us free from the power of sin. But
like the woman in the Gospel, we have a choice to make.
We, ultimately, have to decide: will I follow the path of
Jesus, who has saved me, by striving to sin no more? Or
will I depart from my savior, and return to the same old
self-destructive patterns?

FiŌh Sunday of Lent A Stewardship Moment
Strong words come from Saint Paul in today’s second
reading. He reveals in no uncertain terms that life in
Christ is our goal. Everything else, he maintains, is
“rubbish.” Junk. Trash. Garbage. Is that true? Is everything else “rubbish” compared to deepening our relaƟonship with the Lord? What about puƫng recreaƟonal
acƟviƟes ahead of aƩending Mass? Or preferring uninterrupted hours playing the latest video games or watching TV to spending Ɵme in a bible study group, choir
pracƟce or serving in a soup kitchen? Or keeping late
hours at work over sharing the gospel with friends and
neighbors? To what extent do we exercise stewardship
over our relaƟonship with Christ?
