ANNOUNCEMENTS

Movie-“Power in My Hands” Bishop Brendan Cahill has generously paid for the license (permission) for showing the movie: The Power in My Hands, in our diocese. This movie uncovers the beauty, timelessness and power of the prayer of the rosary.

Why would intelligent, successful people give up careers, alienate friends, and cause havoc in their families . . . to become Catholic? As he was considering his own move into the Church, Donald Johnson traveled around the country to get answers from some of today’s most prolific Catholic converts. Hear their stories and be reminded of the treasures we are given in our Church.

GOD’S ACTIONS NOW

When Jews celebrate the Passover, they always tell the story of the Exodus in

present terms, as if they themselves experienced those events: when we were

prisoners in Egypt; when God brought us out of slavery and through the waters of

the sea. We would do well to follow their example and see the works of Jesus and

his sacrifice as being in the present, as happening to us now. We believe that Christ’s

work, his teachings, and his sacrifice on the cross were not just for his followers in the past, but for all people at all times. When we think of this in our prayers, we

become one in faith with that great cloud of witnesses, the saints.

We have been striving through Lent to repent of our sins and failings, and to follow

Jesus more closely. Today in the story of the woman caught in adultery, we see Jesus

forgiving the woman, saving her from a horrible death, and urging her not to sin any

more. This is new, and brings out something for which the law had not allowed—

forgiveness. Of course one can sin no more if one is dead, caught in one’s sins forever. But Jesus introduces the concepts of forgiveness and reconciliation.
