Good measure pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into the fold of your garment. For the measure you measure with will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 Pope Benedict to be 'pope emeritus' or 'Roman pontiff emeritus' By: Cindy Wooden Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI will continue to be known as Pope Benedict and addressed as "His Holiness," but after his resignation, he will add the title "emeritus" in one of two acceptable forms, either "pope emeritus" or "Roman pontiff emeritus." Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, said decisions about how the pope would be addressed and what he would wear were made in consultation with Pope Benedict and with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the chamberlain of the church, along with others. After Feb. 28, Pope Benedict will continue to wear a white cassock, but it will be a simplified version of the papal vestment, mainly without the little white cape piece on the shoulders, Father Lombardi told reporters Feb. 26. Pope Benedict will leave behind his emblematic red shoes, Father Lombardi said. Instead, he will wear brown shoes, beginning with loafers he was given as a gift last March during a visit to Leon, Mexico. The Jesuit said the pope has found the zapatos to be very comfortable. The safety of the pope emeritus will be ensured by the Vatican police, Father Lombardi said. Three hours before his pontificate ends, Pope Benedict intends to fly by helicopter to the papal summer villa at Castel Gandolfo. At 8 p.m. Feb. 28 -- the exact moment Pope Benedict has said he will cease being pope -- the Swiss Guards stationed at the main doors of the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo will withdraw and close the doors, Father Lombardi said. The Vatican gendarmes will take over. Pope Benedict also will give the College of Cardinals his "fisherman's ring" and seal to be broken, as is usually done upon the death of a pope, the spokesman said. The pope will go back to wearing an episcopal ring he wore as a cardinal. March 3, 2013 - Third Sunday of Lent - Page 3 ‘JUBILEE COMMONS’ UPDATE Dear Parishioners, families, and friends, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of the Elementary and Middle School. As an important ministry of the Church, striving to evangelize and offer salvation to many, the school is often forgotten as ‘the church’ to many of its students. Many students do not worship regularly on Sundays, some are not baptized Catholics and yet because we are, it is ever more important that we educate all children for and from the Catholic faith perspective. As you have probably noticed, the façade upgrade to the school is well under way. You may remember some of my earlier bulletin writings describing the ‘Jubilee Commons’ project to you all. It was initially planned to be constructed in order to commemorate the school’s Golden Jubilee in 2011, but due to several unforeseen issues and a couple of sizeable ‘brick walls’ that needed to be scaled, we finally commenced the project in December. The goals for the upgrade were to: improve the Elementary & Middle School’s aesthetics and curb appeal; formalize the drop off and pick up gathering area for the school families; create an outdoor working space for children; and provide a needed upgrade to the campus as a whole. Included in the project are more trees than were previously growing there, seating, landscaping, lighting, ‘green’ bio-filtration drainage, expanded Pre School play area, with new fencing and synthetic turf, and an information board for community members. The Jubilee Commons is on course for an end of March completion. Everyone will be invited to a Blessing of the Jubilee Commons once completed and a day and time assigned. One of the components of this project is a means by which parish and education center members and alumni can be a part of this new area. Several aspects of the development are going to be made available as a donor component. As the school is funding the whole project itself, one way to recoup some of the expenditure is through donations. Several items will be offered to the community and will include: Pavers and bricks Trees Plinths that mark the walkways Benches Community members may then purchase these by way of a donation in order to memorialize or honor someone special, recognize children and/or families, give as a graduation gift, commemorate an important event (First Eucharist, Marriage, etc.) or other personal reasons. Additionally, some of the benches will be offered to church ministries to donate towards commemorating the work of a particular ministry in the parish and one of the benches will be designated as a bench for your donations in honor of our founding pastor, Rev. Wilkiemeyer. I will update you all in a couple of weeks with the final details and procedures necessary if you would like to donate to some of the items in this project. Many thanks again for your support.

Ricken of Green Bay, 5) Wisconsin, chairman of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), offers “10 Things to Remember for Lent”: 2) 3) Remember the formula. The Church does a good job capturing certain truths with easy-to-remember lists and formulas: 10 Commandments, 7 sacraments, 3 persons in the Trinity. For Lent, the Church gives us almost a slogan—Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving—as the three things we need to work on during the season. It’s a time of prayer. Lent is essentially an act of prayer spread out over 40 days. As we pray, we go on a journey, one that hopefully brings us closer to Christ and leaves us changed by the encounter with him. It’s a time to fast. With the fasts of Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, meatless Fridays, and our personal disciplines interspersed, Lent is the only time many Catholics these days actually fast. And maybe that’s why it gets all the attention. “What are you giving up for Lent? Hotdogs? Beer? Jelly beans?” It’s almost a game for MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY 1-408-296-0208 M.

Journey to the Foot of the Cross: Bishop Ricken Offers 10 Things to Remember For Lent 1) CATECHETICAL OFFICE SUNDAY SCHOOL OF RELIGION 1-408-296-0208 M. Eleanor de Paz Catechetical Director [email protected] 6) 7) It’s a time to work on discipline. The 40 days of Lent are also a good, set time to work on personal discipline in general. Instead of giving something up, it can be doing something positive. “I’m going to exercise more. I’m going to pray more. I’m going to be nicer to my family, friends and coworkers.” It’s about dying to yourself. The more serious side of Lenten discipline is that it’s about more than self-control – it’s about finding aspects of yourself that are less than Christ-like and letting them die. The suffering and death of Christ are foremost on our minds during Lent, and we join in these mysteries by suffering, dying with Christ and being resurrected in a purified form. Don’t do too much.It’s tempting to make Lent some ambitious period of personal reinvention, but it’s best to keep it simple and focused. There’s a reason the Church works on these mysteries year after year. We spend our entire lives growing closer to God. Don’t try to cram it all in one Lent. That’s a recipe for failure. Lent reminds us of our weakness. Of course, even when we set simple goals for ourselves during Lent, we still have trouble keeping them. When we fast, we realize we’re all just one meal away from hunger. In both cases, Lent shows us our weakness. This can be painful, but recognizing how helpless we are makes us seek God’s help with renewed urgency and sincerity. 9) Be patient with yourself. When we’re confronted with our own weakness during Lent, the temptation is to get angry and frustrated. “What a bad person I am!” But that’s the wrong lesson. God is calling us to be patient and to see ourselves as he does, with unconditional love. Reach out in charity. As we experience weakness and suffering during Lent, we should be renewed in our compassion for those who are hungry, suffering or otherwise in need. The third part of the Lenten formula is almsgiving. It’s about more than throwing a few extra dollars in the collection plate; it’s about reaching out to others and helping them without question as a way of sharing the experience of God’s unconditional love. 10) Learn to love like Christ. Giving of ourselves in the midst of our suffering and self-denial brings us closer to loving like Christ, who suffered and poured himself out unconditionally on cross for all of us. Lent is a journey through the desert to the foot of the cross on Good Friday, as we seek him out, ask his help, join in his suffering, and learn to love like him. Source: www.usccb.org March 3, 2013 - Third Sunday of Lent - Page 9 Prayer By: Fr. Thuc Si Ho and Deborah Ferry - Liturgy Corner Poverty - Part 3 By: Jim Balquist - Social Concerns (portions of this article ran previously) The three pillars of Lent are Prayer, Almsgiving, and Fasting. We will explore these themes for the next three weeks. Prayer was an integral part in Jesus’ life and ministry. On Ash Wednesday, Jesus teaches the Apostles how to pray. The opening lines of the Gospel from the 2nd Sunday of Lent tell us that Jesus took Peter, John, and James to the mountain to pray. Jesus leaves with us a model that clearly shows our Christian life depends upon prayer. What we will accomplish in a busy day may depend on what we do early in the morning, besides breakfast! Again the Gospel on Ash Wednesday highlights Prayer, along with fasting and almsgiving. Jesus instructed us: “When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you” (Matthew 6: 6). In following passages, Jesus gave us the so-called the Lord’s Prayer. We pray that the Lord’s Prayer is our daily prayer as well. The Catechism of the Catholic Church devotes Part Four on Christian Prayer. “What is Prayer?” is highlighted from number 2559 to 2565. It summarizes: “Prayer is the elevation of the mind and heart to God in praise of his glory; a petition made to God for some desired good, or in thanksgiving for a good received, or in intercession for others before God. Through prayer the Christian experiences a communion with God through Christ in the Church” (Second Edition, 2000, page 894). The Church at Saint Lawrence gathers every Sunday for the Eucharistic Prayer and celebration. Besides, there is also daily mass at 8:30 in the morning. In addition, please check the bulletin for other communal Prayers. This continues Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 “Causes of Poverty” speech: “The war on poverty is not a struggle simply to support people, to make them dependent on the generosity of others. It is a struggle to give people a chance. It is an effort to allow them to develop and use their capacities, as we have been allowed to develop and use ours, so that they can share, as others share, in the promise of this nation. We do this, first of all, because it is right that we should… We do it also because helping some will increase the prosperity of all. Our fight against poverty will be an investment in the most valuable of our resources-the skills and strength of our people…It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty.” As we approach the Lenten Reconciliation Rite, we recall some the words: “Forgive me for what I have done and what I have failed to do”. As we look at poverty in our community and what it will take to significantly reduce it, let us focus on the last part of that phrase in a reflective and non-judgmental manner. What gifts has the Creator given us that could help reduce poverty and what would it take for each of us to use more of those gifts … and/or to use those gifts more. Each of us already has done some things and each of us could do more. We may not be called to be Saint (Mother) Teresa, but couldn’t each of us do just a little more this year? And if we did, what might poverty in our community look like next year at this time? And while we are reflecting on this, let us include the inevitable question: “What will Jesus say?” when we invite Him into our reflection? “Forgive me for what I have done and what I have failed To comment on poverty in our community, comment on service, charity and justice in general, and suggest future topics of interest, contact: [email protected]. March 3, 2013 - Third Sunday of Lent - Page 10 SLEMS’StudentsWriteLettersofLove Saint Lawrence’s February service project, Letters of Love, was unusual in that it did not involve raising funds in any way, but asked each student to write a letter to a patient at O’Connor Hospital, introducing themselves and expressing compassion and thoughtful support. Although not intended as a Valentine greeting, February was chosen as a fitting time for sending letters of love. Students wished good health, peace, and encouragement to people they didn’t know, learning that the words of a stranger could help someone in their community. Some called upon their own experiences in hospitals, one recalling, “I know what it’s like to feel so alone.” The youngest children drew cheerful pictures of rainbows and hearts. The eighth grade service project, led by middle school math teacher Matt Wheeler and religion coordinator Monica Argenti, provided students with the opportunity to reach out to others, and brought a smile and a happy diversion to patients at O’Connor Hospital. Saint Lawrence Elementary & Middle School does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, sex or disability in the admission of students, the administration of educational policies, scholarship, and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

GETTING TO KNOW THE ACADEMY FACULTY A NDREW “A NDY ” W ARD Here’s your chance to learn a little bit about Academy faculty member, Andrew “Andy” Ward. Ten quick pieces of information about Andy: Andy is the father of three young sons: Peter, Billy, and Matt. He teaches Accelerated English 2, English 2, and American Literature-Z at the Academy. If Andy were an ice cream flavor, he would be Vanilla. It’s not flashy but it reliable, solid and a classic. He wishes he was more talented in the area of art (drawing, painting, sketching) so he could express his thoughts in these artistic ways. Andy serves as the Assistant Athletic Director. This year Andy has been contributing his talents to the Campus Ministry Advisory Team. Andy’s favorite treat is a cup of Peet’s coffee. If Andy was not a teacher, he would want to be a writer or a bookstore owner. His favorite person is his wife because she is positive, strong and supportive. Andy works both the Academy’s tennis teams and the baseball team.
