Day by Day through THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL, by Pope Francis
The Fifth Sunday of Lent,
5th Sunday of Lent, March 22nd: paragraphs 197 – 201
Pope Francis worries that his paragraphs on the Church’s preferential option for the
poor “may give rise to commentary or discussion with no real practical effect.” Living here in
the Conejo Valley, what is one practical way that I can “be close to the poor”? (“No one must
say that they cannot be close to the poor…”. Par. 201)
Monday, March 23rd: pars. 202 – 208
“Politics, though often denigrated, remains a lofty vocation and one of the highest forms of charity, inasmuch as it
seeks the common good… I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society,
the people, the lives of the poor!... Why not turn to God and ask him to inspire” government and financial leaders and their
plans? (par. 205) OK, I will. Right now.
Tuesday, March 24th: pars. 209 – 216
In these paragraphs--in which Pope Francis urges me to “draw near” to the vulnerable, the poor, the slow, the
weak—he writes: “Let us not look the other way!” (par. 211). But that is exactly what I tend to do…when I see someone
begging at an intersection, when I pass by a profoundly handicapped person, when I’m around someone who I know is going
through an excruciatingly difficult time. Can I “draw near” with at least a smile or a greeting next time?
Wednesday, March 25th (the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord): pars. 217 – 221
Pope Francis insists (pars. 219, 220) that peace is not simply the pause between wars, but is “fashioned by efforts
directed day after day toward the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God.” So “responsible citizenship is a
virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation.” Do I take an active part in the political life of my city and/or
my country?
Thursday, March 26th: pars. 222 – 225
Am I willing to give people my precious time? Am I patient with a process of change or growth in my family or in
co-workers? Am I patient with myself as God and I work together that I might change and grow?
Friday, March 27th: pars. 226 – 230
The last time I was arguing with a family member or a brother-or-sister-in-Christ, did I allow the surface conflict to
overwhelm the deeper connection of Family and Faith? Does the argument or disagreement make me forget, however
temporarily, the connective tissue that God has established between us?
Saturday, March 28th: pars. 231 – 233
God doesn’t wait ‘til I get to some ideal state of life or growth before he loves me; he loves me right now in all of
my sometime shabbiness…with all my gifts and goodness, and with all my faults and fallenness, he loves me. Do I love the
people in my life the same way? Or do they need to measure up to an ideal that I’ve set for them before I decide to love
them?

From Msgr. Joseph V. Brennan,
Moderator of the Curia/Vicar General
SB 128 would legalize physician-assisted suicide in
CA. Pope Francis reminds us, "The biblical commandment to honor our parents reminds us in a broader sense of
our duty to honor all elderly people.” Take action now to
protect the elderly and those with disabilities.

Adult Faith Formation Center —
Beginning May 19th
St. Jude’s is hosting an Adult Faith
Formation Center through the
Archdiocese Office of Religious
Education. The course covers a variety
of topics from Revelation to Catholic Social Teaching
through a series of sessions running from May 19th
through June 13th: Tuesday and Thursday evenings
form 6-9:30 p.m. and 2 Saturdays from 9-4 p.m.
The class is the first step in certification for faith
formation or liturgy, but is open to everyone as a way
to reflect on a variety of topics in our Catholic
faith. The course will be taught by Deacon Dave
Smith from St. Julies, Linda Smith and Cindy
Kozal. For questions contact Cindy at 818-889-0612
or [email protected]
Children’s Liturgy
Children’s Liturgy is held during the 10 a.m. Mass.
We truly need more volunteers to help in
this ministry! Will YOU be one of them?
Please contact Amy Simons at [email protected]
Please Pray for
our Elect as they
enter into their final time of
spiritual preparation before
entering into the full
sacramental life at the
Easter Vigil. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults designates three
Scrutiny Rites as a major component of their Lenten Journey. For the
Third, Fourth and Fifth Sundays of Lent, we celebrate these “scrutinies”
for the elect. The scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal, all that is
weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out, then
strengthen all that is upright, strong and good. The Catholic faithful are
called to walk with the elect in their journey of spiritual cleansing and
growth. Through the ancient penitential practices of prayer, fasting, and
charitable works, we search our own hearts and souls for those areas of
darkness still in need of God’s bountiful mercy and healing. As the elect
pray that their sins and weaknesses be removed to embrace the life of
faith, so we make the same journey, removing any spiritual darkness in our
own lives. At Easter the whole Church stands renewed in the waters and
the promises of baptism for our salvation and the salvation of the world.

Blessed Mother
The Confirmation program at Saint Jude celebrates the Holy Spirit
working in the hearts of our teens. Confirmation preparation is a time of
discernment for our teens to explore, challenge, grow and eventually
take ownership of the Catholic Faith. It is a process that involves our
teens, families, and the entire parish community.
This is an exciting and powerful study that
reveals Mary's unique role in God's kingdom and in
our lives. Experience the Gospel through the eyes of

created at home before bringing your plant
to the church. Please just be sure to
confine it to a size that will fit on the pot
cover. If you prefer to make your
dedication at the donation site, labels will
be available for your use.
You may bring your lily donations
to the stage in the hall on Holy
Thursday or Good Friday from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. or you may bring them to the
church vestibule on Holy Saturday from

Still have last year’s Prom
Dress?
SCHOOL
How about donating it for
another round this year!
St. Jude the Apostle Elementary School
Our Kids Helping Kids ministry has
learned that some of the migrant
workers in our area have girls attending
local high schools who would love to go
to the Prom—if only they could afford
the formal dress, the shoes and the pretty handbag every girl
wants to wear. And we thought maybe some of our girls could
make that happen—if they would be willing to part with the
still-lovely dresses they wore themselves.
If that someone is you, simply bring your dress (or
dresses) to the Pastoral Office any time before April 11th.
Donations will be given to MICOP, an organization in Oxnard
that serves migrant families. Call Rose at 805-217-0154 or
Sue Cass (818) 735-7946 for more information.

Find a Need . . . And Fill It!
Most of us have experienced the stress of looking for a job —
interviewing, trying to make a good impression, putting our best
foot forward! Our Clothes Closet ministry helps ease some of this
stress for women in transitional housing who are trying to enter the
work force—a major step to earning a living so they can live on
their own.
Working with local organizations, we provide interviewappropriate and/or work clothing that is clean, currently in style
and gently-used. Looking and feeling good builds self-confidence
and provides for a better chance for success!
Admissions for 2015-2016 School Year
We are now accepting applications!
The school is expanding our outreach and marketing
program. If you have little ones with you in church, please
see our new St. Jude School coloring book and
complimentary crayons in baskets at the back of the church.
School tours are available throughout the school week
and can be scheduled by calling or emailing me at:
[email protected] or 818-889-9483.
