"Encounter the Joy of the Gospel

and Set the World Ablaze"

EVANGELIZED PEOPLE…

Are continuously working toward putting on the mind of Christ.

FATHER’S CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Adults: When has the message of the Cross not made any

sense to be? When has it?

Children: Which Gospel story fills me with hope? Why?

LITURGY AND MINISTRY

Today’s Readings: Exodus 20:1-17 or 20:1-3, 7-8, 12-17; 1 Corinthians 1:22-25; John 2:13-25 In the first reading, God presents the Ten Commandments to Moses. In the Letter to the Corinthians, Paul declares Christ as the power and wisdom of God for Jew and Gentile, alike. Today’s Gospel displays Jesus’ zeal for his Father’s house, as he drives the money changers and animal sellers out of the Temple.

Please Remember in Prayer our Sick and Homebound

Carole Bridges, Phil & Margaret Castner,

John Creamer, Tom Gatti,

Joan and John Gray, Sharon Lewandowski,

PRAYER AND VOCATIONS

Gospel Focus: Jesus performed many signs, but it was in his death and resurrection that God’s glory was fully revealed and made manifest.

Stations of the Cross

Take time to contemplate the Passion of Christ by participating in Stations of the Cross on the Sunday mornings and Friday evenings of Lent.

During each Sunday, Stations of the Cross will take place in the church at 8:30 am. Groups of five are encouraged to sign up to lead. The sign up sheet is located on the Liturgy Committee bulle-tin board near the drinking fountain in the Commons. This oppor-tunity is in addition to the 7:00 pm. Stations of the Cross on the Fridays of Lent which will be led by various ministries and groups of the parish.

All are encouraged to take advantage of these wonderful oppor-tunities to deepen your relations with Christ!

Message of the Holy Father Francis for Lent

False prophets

Let us listen to the Gospel passage and try to understand the guise such false prophets can assume.

They can appear as “snake charmers”, who manipulate human emotions in order to enslave others and lead them where they would have them go. How many of God’s children are mesmer-ized by momentary pleasures, mistaking them for true happi-ness! How many men and women live entranced by the dream of wealth, which only makes them slaves to profit and petty interests! How many go through life believing that they are sufficient unto themselves, and end up entrapped by loneliness!

False prophets can also be “charlatans”, who offer easy and im-

mediate solutions to suffering that soon prove utterly useless.

How many young people are taken in by the panacea of drugs,

of disposable relationships, of easy but dishonest gains! How

many more are ensnared in a thoroughly “virtual” existence, in

which relationships appear quick and straightforward, only to

prove meaningless! These swindlers, in peddling things that

have no real value, rob people of all that is most precious: digni-

ty, freedom and the ability to love. They appeal to our vanity,

our trust in appearances, but in the end they only make fools of

us. Nor should we be surprised. In order to confound the human

heart, the devil, who is “a liar and the father of lies”(Jn 8:44),

has always presented evil as good, falsehood as truth. That is

why each of us is called to peer into our heart to see if we are

falling prey to the lies of these false prophets. We must learn to

look closely, beneath the surface, and to recognize what leaves

a good and lasting mark on our hearts, because it comes from

God and is truly for our benefit.

(Part 2 of 5)
