Third Sunday of Lent
Belong More Deeply to Christ and His Church
A Message from Father Jim Drew
Dear Parishioners,
God always wants our future to be bigger than our past. As we arrive at the
halfway point of Lent, let us reflect on all the good ways God has blessed our lives in
the past and remind ourselves no matter how good our past was—God has a bigger
future planned for us.
That bigger future may include a new relationship, a new job, some new
insight, a powerful new habit, a pay raise, a dream vacation, or a love rekindled. It
will be different for each of us and it almost never is what we think it will be. God
loved to surprise us. The important thing is to pray imagining your bigger future. I
have found that using some powerful promises, first from Paul’s letter to the
Philippians—directed from God to you—can uplift your spirit and prepare you for a
better future:
1.
I AM a child of the living God—
“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.”
- Philippians 1:6
2.
“I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me!”
- Philippians 4:13
3.
I WILL decide today to make God’s dream for my life
my dream too!
“It is God at work in you, giving you the will and the power
to achieve His purpose.”
- Philippians 2:13
4.
I BELIEVE that with God’s help I can become the person
that He wants me to be!
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
- Jeremiah 29:11
Let us draw strength and courage from our faith in Christ our teacher and healer. Matthew
Kelly’s book “Rediscover Catholicism” is worth reading during these times of change. I encourage
you to pick up a copy and begin reading it—5 pages daily.
March 2013
Your Faith and Easter
St. Paul declared: “If Christ has not been
raised, then our preaching is in vain, and
your faith also is in vain” (1 Corinthians
15:14). Our faith is anchored in the good
news of the resurrection. The resurrection is
the Father’s response to the cross, his
defiant answer to a world that hoped
violence could keep Jesus in its hold.
If death had spoken the final word about
Jesus, it would have been only a matter of
time before everything about Jesus had
been reduced to a curiosity, a forgettable
footnote in the crowded history of lost
causes. But God had the last word.
In raising Jesus from the dead, God raised
every value that Jesus cherished, every
story that Jesus told, every preference that
Jesus made, every purpose that Jesus
followed. All this was given new life and
new significance.
The resurrection of Jesus was not a
hysterical invention of people who refused
to accept Jesus’ death. The Father’s act of
raising Jesus from the dead is the Father’s
way of accepting his Son’s death. Jesus is
wakened to glory by the applause of his
Father, by the sheer energy of his Father’s
love, by the loud shout of his Father’s
gratitude. The Father refuses to write RIP
over Jesus’ grave. Our faith focuses not on
an empty tomb but on the everlasting
presence of Jesus as Lord.
PRAYER
THE YEAR OF
FAITH
October 11, 2012—November 24, 2013
Here is one man’s story on becoming the best version of himself: Nick
Vujicic
MY FAITH IN ACTION
I have discovered time and again that when we ask for God’s
help and then take action, knowing in our hearts that He is watching
over us, there is no reason to be fearful. My parents taught me this,
mostly in the way they lived each day. They are the greatest
examples of faith in action that I have witnessed.
Though I arrived on this earth missing, as my mother says, “a
few bits and pieces,” I am blessed in many, many ways. My parents
have always been there for me. They did not coddle me. They disciplined me when I needed it and gave me room to make my own
mistakes. Most of all, they are wonderful role models.
I was their first child and definitely a surprise package.
Despite doing all the usual maternity tests, my mother’s doctor detected no indication that I would come into the world with neither arms
nor legs. My mother was an experienced nurse who has assisted in
hundreds of deliveries, so she took every precaution during her
pregnancy.
Needless to say, she and my father were quite stunned that I
arrived without limbs. They are devout Christians. In fact, my father
was a lay pastor. My parents prayed for guidance while I underwent
many days of testing after my birth.
Like all babies, I did not come with an instruction book, but
my parents sure would have welcomed a little guidance. They knew
of no other parents who’d raised a child without limbs in a world
designed for people with a complete set.
They were distraught at first, as any parents would be. Anger,
guilt, fear, depression, despair—their emotions ran away with them for
the week or so. Many tears were shed. They grieved for the perfectly
formed child they’d envisioned but did no receive. They grieved, too,
because they feared that my life would be difficult.
My parents could not imagine what plan God had in mind for
such a boy. Yet, once they’d recovered from their initial shock, they
decided to put their trust in God and then to put their faith in action.
They gave up their attempts to understand why God had given them
such a child. Instead, they surrendered to His plan, whatever it might
be, and then went about raising me as best they could, the only way
they could: pouring into me all their love one day at a time.
Look, we beseech you, O
Lord, upon the people of
this land who are called by
your holy name: grant to us
all that, laying aside our
divisions, we may be united
in heart and mind to bear the From the book Unstoppable– The Incredible Power of Faith in Action, by Nick

upon us and enjoy the new

life you grant us. This we
pray through the risen Lord. and buried. Perhaps. It is ironical and entertaining to consider

that at least once in the world’s history those words
might have been said with complete conviction, and
that was on the eve of the resurrection.”

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 a lifetime 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 newly scrubbed feet from
Holy Thursday night is to walk resolutely in
the footsteps of Christ to the cross.

We need to reiterate the parking situation
when there is plowed snow. We need your
cooperation when parking on Woodland
Avenue. Please park on ONLY ONE SIDE
of the street. Parking on both sides causes
a bottleneck. Vehicles— especially SUVs,
emergency vehicles and plow trucks,
cannot get through. Also, do not block
neighbors’ driveways, as you are subject to
being towed. It is necessary to be respectful of our neighbors under these extreme
circumstances.
