Saint Canera, patroness of Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat with an
oil lamp, the symbol of wisdom and virginity, with a monastery on
an island in the background where she sought spiritual rest. She
was refused entrance to the island but was given Eucharist just
before she died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

faith with and welcome others.
MISION DE NUESTRA PARROQUIA

Cristo, educar a los adultos y acompañar la educación de los
niños y jóvenes; y, como instrumentos de Cristo, compartir

Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas,
La Cuaresma contiene muchas imágenes de renovación,
las caóticas aguas de la inundación, el arca, el arco iris, el
desierto, entre otros. Tenemos todo esto en nuestras
lecturas bíblicas de hoy. La historia de Noé y el
Arca es una para empezar de nuevo, volver a crear las cosas, una vez más sin pecado. El Génesis
habla de la alianza que Dios renueva una vez más
con la gente.
Vemos a Jesús en el Evangelio, como nosotros
en todo menos en el pecado, pero que sigue luchando con las tentaciones del diablo en el desierto. Su conquista del diablo no es más que un
adelanto de su victoria sobre el pecado, la muerte
y el diablo en la cruz y la resurrección.
La Cuaresma nos lleva de nuevo a todos estos
fundamentos y nos llama a renovarnos una vez
más este año. Sumerjámonos una vez más en este tiempo santo para que podamos tener un poco
de la vida nueva en nosotros cuando recordamos
y celebramos una vez más la vida nueva que
Cristo ganó por nosotros en su
resurrección de entre los muertos en esta Pascua.
Con cariño,
P. Hank

camino pecaminoso y poder acercarnos a nuestro Señor.

miércoles de 6:30 PM a 7:30 PM durante este tiempo de
Cuaresma. Si tú has estado considerando y dudando hacer

tiempo o siempre se te ha hecho difícil llegar a las horas de
confesión los días sábados, esta es una maravillosa oportunidad para re-encontrarte y reconciliarte con Cristo y su
Iglesia.

allow all Catholics to avail themselves of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is a wonderful
opportunity to set aside our sinful ways and to draw
closer to our Lord.
Each Catholic parish in the Diocese of SpringfieldCape Girardeau has been asked to have confessions
available every Wednesday from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
during this Lenten season. If you have been reluctant
to come to the sacrament, have been away for some
time, or just find it difficult to get to a Saturday afternoon confession time, this is a wonderful opportunity
to reconnect with Christ and his Church.
Starts Wednesday, February 25 (6:30 PM-7:30 PM)

My dear sisters and brothers,
Lent contains many images of renewal, the
chaotic waters of the flood, the ark, the rainbow, the desert, among others. We have all of
these in our scripture readings today. The story of Noah and the
Ark is one of starting over, recreating things once again without
sin. Genesis speaks of the Covenant that God once again renews
with people.
We see Jesus in the Gospel, like us in everything but sin, but still
struggling with the temptations of the devil in the desert. His
conquest of the devil is but a preview of his victory over sin,
death, and the devil in his cross and resurrection.
Lent brings us back to all of these basics and calls us to renewal
once again this year. Let us once again immerse ourselves into
this holy season in order that we might have a little new life in us
when we remember and celebrate once again
the new life that Christ won for us in his resurrection from the dead this Easter.
With fond affection,
Fr. Hank
