MARCH 8, 2015
From The Pastor’s Desk
Our bodies are temples, sanctified for prayer, dwelling places of the Holy Spirit and the place where we are to offer spiritual worship in Spirit and truth. “God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.” (Jn 4,24)
In our interior being we are meant to have a holy place, a sanctuary, where God dwells and where we withdraw to spend
time with the Lord in prayer. St. Paul reminds us that our bodies are temples: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased
at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.” (1Cor 6,19f) He also urges us to be a living liturgy that is constantly being
offered to God: “I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your
mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Rom 12,1f) The unique gift
of our interior castle (as St. Teresa of Jesus would name it) provides us with a beautiful place to find our rest in God. The
psalmist speaks to us of our desire to remain always in this place of communion with our Lord: “One thing I ask of the
Lord; this I seek: to dwell in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, to gaze on the Lord’s beauty, to visit his temple. For
God will hide me in his shelter in time of trouble, will conceal me in the cover of his tent; and set me high upon a rock…I
will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.” (Ps 27,4-6) This dwelling place,
this temple, this shelter of peace, this interior castle is as close as our own hearts when we seek the Lord in prayer. Our
interior temple should be a house of continuous prayer.
What is your experience when you enter into your interior sanctuary to seek the Father, Abba, in prayer? I know that
too often in my own interior Dwelling Place there is a whole marketplace of activity going on constantly. I enter into this
sanctuary space hoping for some peaceful time of prayer and communion with the Father but too often I am met with distractions and a thousand different projects that vie for my attention. There is so much noise that I can’t begin to hear the
voice of God speaking to me in his small whisper. Even worldly allurements try to capture my attention. The distractions
in prayer can become quite frustrating. As I enter into the interior temple of my heart I also notice at times that my mindset is one of commerce. I need something from the Father and so I set about negotiating with him over my desires. I often
haggle over the price of something because I fear that it is too costly for me and that I cannot pay the price that God is asking. I am frustrated to find that my interior temple, the Father’s house, my place of prayer, has become a marketplace. My
temple needs a cleansing! “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.” (Jn 2,16)
Lent is a time for spring cleaning in the interior temple of our Dwelling Place. We need to drive out the beasts and the
vendors of God’s grace and reclaim our house of prayer. St. John Chrysostom writes about prayer: “Prayer is the light of
the spirit, true knowledge of God, mediating between God and man. The spirit, raised up to heaven by prayer, clings to
God with the utmost tenderness; like a child crying tearfully for its mother, it craves the milk that God provides. It seeks
the satisfaction of its own desires, and receives gifts outweighing the whole of nature. Prayer stands before God as an honored ambassador. It gives joy to the spirit, peace to the heart. I speak of prayer, not words. It is the longing for God, love
too deep for words, a gift not given by man but by God’s grace…Practice prayer from the beginning. Paint your house with
the colors of modesty and humility. Make it radiant with the light of justice. Decorate it with the finest gold leaf of good
deeds. Adorn it with the walls and stones of faith and generosity. Crown it with the pinnacle of prayer. In this way you
will make it a perfect dwelling place for the Lord. You will be able to receive him as in a splendid palace, and through his
grace you will already possess him, his image enthroned in the temple of your spirit.”
Do a little “home improvement” for our Lord in the sanctuary of your heart this Lent. Get rid of whatever is causing
that stench and throw open the windows of your heart to the fresh breath of the Spirit. See a spiritual director if you need
some professional advice on interior decorating. Toss out the squatters that you have tolerated for too long. Make your
heart a suitable Dwelling Place for the Father.

We are happy to list parishioner’s names who request our prayers in the bulletin. However, we have trouble in keeping the list up-to-date. Many people
forget to let us know when to take a name off the list and, as a result, our list becomes HUGE and outdated. We will list names for prayer request for
one month. After the last Sunday of the month the name on the list will be taken off and a new prayer request list will be published the first Sunday of
the month. If someone wishes to have a name remembered again, please call Alma at (858) 271-0207 ext. 1206 or email:
[email protected].
REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
All of us wish we could be holy, we say, if only Jesus would come and do to the temple of our faith what he
did to the temple of Israel’s faith: cast out what doesn’t belong, because we don’t seem to be able to do it for
ourselves, at least not with much effectiveness. We try to pray and find ourselves daydreaming about what to
make for supper, about the latest family argument, about the meeting we’re going to attend, about where
we’re going to spend our money.
We try to simplify, but we also like our lives the way they are. We like the cut of style, the thick of our lawn,
the escape of vacation, the high from shopping or chocolate or daytime soaps or whatever catches our fancy.
We wish we would love better, care better, have more compassion or patience, be more generous, but original sin always gets in the way—only we don’t call it original sin. We say we don’t have willpower or the energy.
So what are we to do? John’s Gospel promises that God will come and drive such stuff from our lives. In
fact, the promise is that God will do it whether we wish God to or not, which is probably a good move on
God’s part simply because most of us are a bit fearful of what God may clear away. —Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis

Pope Francis has declared a brand new
Doctor of the Church: St. Gregory of Narek!
The title “Church Doctor” is given by the Church to holy
men and women who particularly contributed to the
Church’s learning in a meaningful way. St. Gregory (9511003 AD), an Armenian poet and monk, entered a prominent
Armenian monastery in Narekavank from a very young age
and was ordained a priest at 25 years old. He composed
great works including theological treatises, chants, melodies,
letters, and prayers. His most famous work, the Book of
Lamentations, is made up of 95 prayers, each titled
“Speaking to God from the Depths of the Heart,” and is
considered one of the greatest works of Armenian literature.
Prayer 33 of this work is recited daily in Armenian liturgies
throughout the world! His feast day is October 13th.
Adapted from www.churchpop.com

Art and Faith Connection
Third Sunday of Lent | Gospel of John 2:13
2:13--25
“Jesus Chasing Merchants From the Temple” by the Flemish 16th
century master Quentin
Matsys showcases his
renowned caricature style
and commentary. The
scene includes the range
of characters noted in
today’s Gospel story.
Christ is in the center,
driving out the merchants
with his rope whip, three
merchants receiving his
blows. One of them,
perhaps a money
changer, lies on the
ground, his table flipped,
his coins scattered.
Another merchant is just
making his escape with a
lamb on his back, while
the most grotesque one
on the left is trying to get away with his goods under his arms. In
the back left, three distinguished-looking men observe—these are
perhaps the Jewish leaders who debate with Christ about the
Temple in John’s Gospel. To the right of the scene are three
additional onlookers: one more merchant partially concealed by a
sack, a seated figure, and a Temple-goer, whom we see in profile.
Gather as a family to see where you are in this Lenten journey:
The painting invites us to see ourselves in it as well, to see and
acknowledge honestly those areas of our lives needing a major
cleaning. The variety of faces offer several entry points for us—the
person on the ground, the one escaping, the one looking on, the
one hiding, the one at a critical distance—where do we find ourselves in
this image? Together, ask God for the grace to help each of you offer
wholehearted prayer and worship. Close by praying the Psalm used
in today’s Liturgy (Psalm 19).

LENTEN CONFESSION
Our Parish communal celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation will take place Wednesday,
March 25 beginning at 7 pm. We are called to experience the forgiveness of God and his abundant mercy in our lives and to purify our hearts of sin through the sacrament of reconciliation in
the spirit of Jesus. Our Lenten journey is not complete without this beautiful experience of
God’s love. There will be 30 priests available that evening for individual confession in several different languages. Please make every effort to be n time and to make this a family priority. Don’t
wait until the last minute when priests may not be available and you missed your opportunity for
confession before Easter.
