Welcome the Visiting Madonna While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful is to turn to the Blessed Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As human beings, we can’t do everything. But the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do wonders. The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that every family may experience visitation for one week from our Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email him at [email protected].

Fourth Sunday of Lent CHRISTIAN FORMATION COMMUNITY BUILDING C F F R Let us pray for the Little Sisters of the Poor, that they can avoid bankrupting fines. "If this appeal is lost, government becomes head of every religious denomination in the country by its assumed authority to determine what is, in fact, a sin." Thomas More Law Center The Supreme Court will hear arguments on March 23 in the case of Little Sisters of the Poor to determine if they and other faith-based ministries can be forced to change their health-care plans "to offer drugs that violate their religious beliefs when those same drugs could be made available through healthcare exchanges," said Becket Fund For Religious Liberty. "After promising that the Little Sisters religious beliefs would be protected, the government created a new regulation requiring that the Little Sisters change their healthcare plan to offer drugs that violate Catholic teaching," the Becket Fund explained. "One third of U.S. workers are employed by secular companies (e.g. Exxon, Visa) that are exempt from having to provide these same drugs since their health plans are 'grandfathered'". www.WND.com 2/1/16; [email protected], 1/29/16 “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” Edmund Burke Upcoming events: (1) Friday, March 11, 2016 at 6:30PM in the CLC. Join CFFR for an evening of information and prayer supporting the Little Sisters of the Poor. For information contact Carol Jean Walters by email at [email protected] or by phone at (H)#843-236-0162 or (Cell)#631-926-0995.

Knights of Columbus Help Our ‘Special Kids’ Knights of Columbus Council 7122, Our Lady Star of the Sea, would like to offer a heartfelt THANK YOU to our Parishioners, Neighbors, Friends, and Visitors who contributed to our Columbus Hope Foundation Campaign in 2015. The Knights of Columbus, the Columbiettes, and students and adults from the various local schools and organizations collected $14,900 during our Columbus Hope campaign last year by giving away Tootsie Rolls at local businesses and after Mass at Our Lady Star of the Sea. The purpose of this campaign is to increase public awareness of the needs of these very SPECIAL CHILDREN, and to give the teachers and moderators additional resources necessary to help these children and adults. On February 17, 2016, checks were distributed to representatives of each of the Organizations at a special breakfast held at Hot Stacks in North Myrtle Beach. Recipients of these funds included the Special Ed departments of the Ocean Drive Elementary (NMB), Riverside Elementary (NMB), Waterway Elementary (NMB) and North Myrtle Beach Middle School as well as The Grand Strand Down Syndrome Society, ARC of Horry County (ARC helps young adults with intellectual disabilities), and Current Transitions. As you can see, the funds remain in our Community, and help our Special Children and young adults. Again, we really appreciate the tremendous support we receive from every one of you who have helped us in our efforts. We are all constantly being called to be Stewards of God’s Gifts by willingly sharing our Time, Talents, and Treasure. THANK YOU AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU.

This collection funds six Catholic agencies that work to serve Jesus in the disguise of our suffering brothers and sisters around the world. These agencies provide a broad range of services, including advocating for immigrants, providing humanitarian aid in the wake of natural disasters, resettling displaced individuals, and working for increased peace in our world. Your support of this collection is an opportunity to help Jesus in disguise. In 2005, in war-torn Afghanistan, Aazar* and Ali* lost their family due to their father’s political affiliations. The boys, ten and eight years old, fled to Pakistan, looking for safety amid the many threats to their lives. Shortly after they arrived in Quetta, Pakistan, they were separated, and despite days of searching, Aazar could not find his younger brother. Continuing to receive threats, Aazar was forced to keep moving, making his way through Pakistan and Iraq, and finally reaching an orphanage in Turkey, where he was granted refugee status. In 2012, he received a referral to be placed in the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) program, bringing him to the United States. Once here in the United States, Aazar reached out to the BBC, which held a nightly radio program broadcast in the Middle East to find missing persons, for help in finding Ali. Within one week, his brother was found alive in Pakistan, having lived with a family for the past seven years. However, he had been residing as a domestic helper and so did not attend school, nor did he have any friends. The USCCB’s Migration and Refugee Services (MRS) program began working with agencies in the United States and Nepal and with the United Nations to reunite the brothers, and ultimately, Ali was also referred to the USCCB URM program. After nine years of separation, the brothers were once again reunited and could begin to resettle and reconnect as family.

Guglielmone Bishop of the Diocese of Charleston SECOND COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND Capital Reserve Account Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar CUARTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA .PARABOLA DEL HIJO PRODIGO Y EL PADRE MISERICORDIOSO (San Lucas 15,1-32) Queridos Hermanos: Los escribas y fariseos quienes se creen puros y santos, critican a Jesús porque se reúne con prostitutas, borrachos y cobradores de impuestos; estas personas son tildadas como "desechables o indeseables", de lo más bajo de la sociedad. Por lo tanto; en este Domingo, Jesús nos presenta esta maravillosa parábola, para callar a quienes se creen santos y puros. Reflexionemos sobre cada uno de los protagonistas de esta hermosa parábola: 1. El hijo Menor. -Pide lo que no le pertenece. La Ley judía decía, que el hijo más joven debía de recibir una parte de la fortuna del papá. Y aunque la división de las propiedades del papá podía hacerse en vida, los hijos accedían a la herencia, solamente hasta después de la muerte del papá. -Derrocha la fortuna miserablemente. -Acaba con todo y tiene que cuidar cerdos. Entonces empieza a padecer hambre, sintiendo ganas de comerse la comida de los cerdos. (Para un judío era lo más terrible que le podía pasar, porque según la ley, no podía cuidar cerdos, ni mucho menos comer la comida de los cerdos, o carne de cerdo). - Reflexiona y decide volver a donde el papá aunque sea como jornalero, pues sabe que ha perdido los derechos como hijo. 2. El hijo mayor. -Se niega entrar a la casa. Está muy enojado con el papá, porque perdonó al hermano y además le hizo una gran fiesta. -No ha entendido a profundidad lo que es amar (Amor). El no está en casa con el papá por amor. El siempre trabaja esperando recompensa. Se queja porque el papá nunca le ha hecho ninguna fiesta. -Todo lo que hay en la casa del papá es suyo pero no sabe disfrutarlo. Es un hijo "malcriado", obedece solo por obligación y no por amor. Está centrado en su propio yo, y no en las cosas del papá, aunque siempre está con él, le falta mucho amor. -No quiere reconocer al hermano: "Ese hijo tuyo"...A lo que el papá le responde: "Este hermano tuyo"... 3. El padre. -Ante el regreso de su hijo, toma varias actitudes maravillosas: a)Lo vió de lejos. b)Se alegró. c)Salió corriendo para recibirlo. d)Lo abrazó y lo besó. -Después sin que el hijo terminara de pedirle perdón, aquel papá realiza tres actos maravillosos de acogida: a)Manda ponerle el mejor traje de fiesta. En Oriente esto significa dignidad, aprecio, invitado de honor. Significa reconocerlo de nuevo como hijo con todos sus derechos. Y según la Biblia, es símbolo de que ha llegado el tiempo de la salvación. b)Le coloca un anillo y sandalias. El anillo significa entrega y confianza total. Las sandalias son signo de libertad. Deja de ser esclavo para ser hijo. c) Realiza una fiesta matando un ternero cebado. Fiesta o banquete según la Biblia, significa alegría y comunión plena, recibimiento y acogida. d)El padre también, tiene una actitud maravillosa con el otro hijo que está enojado: Sale e intenta convencerlo para que entre, y ante el duro reproche del hijo, continúa demostrándole la misma ternura: "Hijo mío...Tú siempre estás conmigo y todo lo mío es tuyo...Este hermano tuyo...Teníamos que hacer fiesta y alegrarnos..."... Dios ama sin condiciones. Su Amor es total e infinito. Jesucristo Dios y Hombre Verdadero, se entregó totalmente por nosotros, muriendo en la cruz por nuestros pecados. Cuando Dios perdona al pecador, lo recibe con amor y le devuelve la dignidad de persona. Su Amor y su Misericordia no tienen límites. Dios quiere que todos nos alegremos cuando un pecador se convierte, y hagamos una gran fiesta de acogida, dándole un homenaje por su conversión. Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a experimentar y recibir la Gran Misericordia de Dios en este Año Jubilar. Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando.
