St. Mary’s Parish
Annapolis, Maryland
Dear Parishioners,
During these past almost three years, since his election as Pope back in March 2013, many people have
become a “pope-aholic” and a “Francisco-phile”. They just can’t get enough of Pope Francis!
“Mercy” and “compassion” are words that Pope Francis uses again and again to tell the world what Jesus
and the Gospel are all about. In his first Sunday homily as Pope, he told the group of Vatican employees who
were attending Mass in their little parish church just inside the Porta Sant’ Anna: “Mercy is the Lord’s
most powerful message.” He has declared this to be a Year of Mercy, we here at St. Mary’s, are a Door of
Mercy, and our parish theme this year is “Be A Witness of Mercy.”
As often as we celebrate Mass, we begin with the Penitential Act, asking the Lord for mercy: “Lord, have
mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord have mercy!” So mercy is first and foremost something that we ask for and
receive from God, in the form of the forgiveness of our sins.
But once we have experienced the Lord’s mercy in our own lives, the way that we express our gratitude to
the Lord is to show mercy to one another. Because the Lord has treated us with mercy, our proper response is
to be merciful towards others, particularly to our brothers and sisters in need.
Just before he was elected Pope, Cardinal Jorge Bergolio shared with the other Cardinals a reflection on
the image of Jesus knocking on door in the Book of Revelation. Usually he said, we picture Jesus outside the
door, knocking on the doors of our hearts, asking us to hear his voice and open the door so that Jesus can
come in. But Cardinal Bergolio suggested that there is another way to picture this scene. Picture Jesus inside,
knocking on the doors of our churches, asking us to let him out, so that he can reach out to the poor and the
oppressed, the people who are marginalized and neglected by society.
That image of Jesus, knocking on the doors of the church, asking us to let him out, is a powerful way to
understand what the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is all about. Each year at this time, the AAA reminds us
that we here at St. Mary’s in Annapolis are part of a much larger local church; we are part of the Archdiocese
of Baltimore. By our support of the AAA, we make possible the many programs and ministries by which the
local Church reaches out to our brothers and sisters in need.
This weekend is Commitment Weekend, when we ask you to make your commitment. As we look to
this year’s Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, please reflect on how you have personally experienced the love of
the Lord and consider participating again, or for the first time. Please be as generous as you can. It is through
your generosity that the ministries funded by this appeal are able to thrive and help more people see “A Light
Brightly Visible.” No gift is too small if it comes from your heart. What’s important is not how much you
give, but that you want to give whatever you can. And whatever you can give is greatly appreciated. I close
now with the prayer for this year’s appeal:
Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, that my life may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through
me, and be so in me. That every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look
up and see no longer me, but only Jesus! Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine, So to
shine as to be a light to others; The light, O Jesus will be all from You; none of it will be mine; It will be You,
shining on others through me. Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example, By the catching force of the sympathetic influence of what I do, The evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. AMEN.
God Bless Us All
Fr. Tizio

"God's Passion, Our Passion," by
Pierre Wolff, clearly and effectively
articulates how we are, and can
be,
connected to all humanity
through our connection with
God.
The author focuses on the
power of love as exemplified in the
actions of Jesus during his final
days, and draws ringing parallels to
our own life situations. Moving
through the events of the PassionResurrection story as recorded in
Scripture, Wolff shares timely
applications on such themes as non
-violence, the use of money, agony
and suffering, acceptance, Eucharist,
compassion, and salvation. Available
in the Christology section of the SJN
Parish Library.

Ranger Rosary
We have been sending our
rosaries to Walter Reed Army and
Bethesda Naval hospitals for 13
years. They have given thousands of
our Veterans hope for their healing.
With the shortage of chaplains the
prayers of the Rosary can give them
time to come to know our Blessed
Mother and receive her tender love
and comfort.
The Catholic TV station EWTN
offers the Rosary four times daily.
Here are a few of the prayers they
begin with: "From Mary, we learn to
surrender to God's grace in all things.
From Mary, we learn to trust even
when all hope seems gone. From
Mary, we learn to love Christ, her Son
and the Son of God. The Rosary is
the most beautiful and rich in grace of
all prayers", Pius X. When you say
the rosary the angels rejoice. The
Rosary is the most important weapon
for our times; through the Rosary
streams of grace flow down upon us.
Join the Rosary makers every
Wednesday, 9-12 at SJN. You can go

Second Sunday of Lent
A Successful Winter Relief at St. Mary's
Thank you to the many
volunteers who helped St.
Mary's parish host 28 of the
homeless of the Annapolis
area at Seelos Hall during the
past week (Feb 1-8, 2016).
We were privileged to serve a
great group of guests. You
who were able to contribute to
the meals or staffed the shifts during the week got to know
them as individual people and even understand a bit of
the reasons why they were with us during this week.
Please include them in your prayers for their success
during this year.
The Winter Relief week was made delightful by the
terrific meals provided by many parishioners. The
combined efforts of parishioners bringing the food items
and supplies to serve our guests was an outstanding
show of love. St. Mary's hospitality was also increased by
our talented parishioners who gave their time to provide
entertainment each evening for our guests and even
providing haircuts one night for any of our guests who
wanted one and manicures on another night. Many of our
guests expressed their appreciation for the kindnesses
they received from parishioners.
Thanks also to those
of you who agreed to be alternates to fill in for anyone
unable to make their shift. Fortunately it wasn't necessary
to call on many of you, (we again escaped flu epidemics
and snow that would prevent volunteers from arriving) but
it was especially comforting to know that parishioners
were available to call upon. We hope that you will be
available to participate in winter relief next year. Winter
relief could also not have been done without the tireless
work of St. Mary's maintenance staff and those
parishioners who provided, washed and returned the
linens.
St. Mary's parishioners also so generously responded
to the request for replacement linens for use by our
guests that we now have a complete set (enough for 40
people) that St. Mary's can use in future winter relief
weeks. There were enough additional linens that we
were able to give nearly an entire set to St. John the
Evangelist parish which plans to begin winter relief next
year. The response to the request for gift cards was
equally generous. We were able to provide gift cards as
bingo prizes for two nights of bingo and this really
generated enthusiasm among all our guests. There were
enough cards remaining to provide everyone a card one
morning as they left for the day and provided a grab bag
of gift cards to give one to each guest during Super Bowl
half time.
Thank you to each of you who gave your time, talent
and treasure so generously. It is a humbling experience to
be able to participate in winter relief for those in need. You
have done much this week to help carry out Christ's
direction to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and house
the homeless.
God Bless each of you.

Estimados Parroquianos,
Durante estos ultimos tres años, desde su elección como Papa en Marzo del 2013, mucha
gente se ha vuelto “papa-hólico” y un “Franciscófilo”. No se cansan de oir del Papa Francisco!
“Misericordia” y “compasión” son palabras que el Papa Francisco usa una y otra vez para decir
al mundo que ésto es lo principal que Jesús y el Evangelio nos enseñan. En su primera homilía
del Domingo como Papa, él dijo al grupo de empleados del Vaticano que fueron a Misa en su
pequeña Iglesia dentro de Porta Santa Ana: “La misericordia es el mensaje más poderoso de
Dios.” El Papa ha declarado que éste sea el año de la Misericordia, aquí en el Santa María, está
una Puerta de Misericordia, y el tema de nuestra parroquia es “Ser testigo de la Misericordia.”
Cuando celebramos la Misa, comenzamos con el Acto Penitencial, pidiendo misericordia a
Dios: “Señor ten piedad de nosotros; Cristo, ten piedad de nosotros; Señor ten piedad de
nosotros!” La misericordia es lo primero y lo principal que pedimos y recibimos de Dios, es la
forma de perdón por nuestros pecados.
Pero una vez que hayamos experimentado la misericordia de Dios en nuestras vidas, el modo en que expresamos nuestra
gratitud al Señor es siendo misericordiosos con los otros. Porque el Señor nos ha tratado con misericordia, nuestra respuesta
apropiada es ser piadosos con los otros, especialmente con nuestros hermanos y hermanas necesitados.
Antes de ser elegido Papa, el Cardenal Jorge Bergoglio compartió con los otros Cardenales una reflección con la imagen de
Jesús tocando la puerta en el Libro de las Revelaciones. Él dijo, que normalmente, nos imaginamos a Jesús afuera de la
puerta, tocando a la puerta de nuestros corazones, pidiéndonos que oigamos su voz y le abramos la puerta para que Él pueda
entrar. Pero el Cardenal Bergoglio sugirió que hay otro modo de imaginarse esta escena. Imagina a Jesús adentro, llamando a
las puertas de nuestras Iglesias, pidiendonos que lo dejemos salir, para que Él pueda llegar al pobre y al oprimido, a la gente
que esta marginada y abandonada por la sociedad.
Que esa imagen de Jesús, tocando en las puertas de las Iglesias, pidiéndonos que lo dejemos salir, es una poderosa manera
de entender de qué se trata el Llamado Anual del Arzobispo. Cada año en este tiempo nos recuerda que la Iglesia Santa María
es parte de una iglesia local mucho más grande; somos parte de la Arquidiócesis de Baltimore. Con nuestro apoyo al Llamado
Anual, hacemos posible los programas y ministerios por los cuales la Iglesia local llega a nuestos hermanos y hermanas necesitados.
Éste es un Fin de semana de Compromiso, es cuando te pedimos que hagas un compromiso. Mientras miramos al
Llamado Anual del Arzobispo, por favor, refleja como has experimentado personalmente el amor del Señor y considera participar de Nuevo, o por primera vez. Por favor, sé tan generoso como puedas. Es a través de tu generosidad que los ministerios
financiados por el Llamado pueden ser exitosos en ayudar a más gente a ver “Una Luz Brillantemente Visible.” Ningún regalo
es muy pequeño si se lo da de corazón. Lo importante no es cuánto das, sino que quieras dar todo lo que puedas. Y todo lo que
puedas dar lo valoramos muchisimo. Y ahora termino con una oración por el llamado de este año:
Querido Jesús, ayúdame a esparcir tu fragancia a donde quiera que vaya. Innunda mi alma con Tu Espíritu y vida.Penetra
y posee absolutamente todo mi ser, que mi vida sea solo un resplandor de la Tuya. Brilla a través de mí, y permanence en mí.
De modo de que cada alma que entre en contacto conmigo sienta Tu presencia en mi alma. Déjalos buscar y ver que ya no soy
yo, sino que eresTú, Jesús! Permanece en mi y así comenzaré a brillar como tu brillas, a brillar para ser luz para los demas;
La Luz, oh Jesús, vendrá toda de Ti; nada vendrá de mi; serás Tú brillando a través de mí. Déjame alabarte así, Tú el camino,
Tú el mayor amor, iluminando a todos los que me rodean. Permíteme predicarte sin predicar, no con palabras sino con mi
ejemplo, con la cautivante influencia comprensiva de lo que yo hago, La evidente plenitud de mi Corazón que late por Tí.
Amén
Dios nos bendiga a todos
Pe. Tizio
