Fifth Sunday of Lent March 18, 2018

I will place my law within them and write it

upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be

my people. — Jeremiah 31:33

Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Daily Prayer For Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests; For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests; For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: The priest who baptized me; The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me; All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially_________). O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity. Amen By St. Therese of Lisieux

Our Mission St. Charles is a Christ focused, diverse, family centered, Catholic community serving Imperial Beach and the South Bay. We believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and His saving grace received through the Sacraments. We believe in the Holy Catholic Church instituted by Jesus, the sanctity of life, the value of family, and lifelong Catholic education for all ages. We live to deepen our love of God, spread His Gospel and bring others to Christ. We are committed to a life of prayer, sacrifice, and service to those in need. With love, humility, and joyful obedience, we strive to be transformed and guided by the Holy Spirit until we are transformed in the eternal life of Heaven.

SAVED BY GOD’S LOVE

Because the people broke the old covenant, God promised a new covenant, not in the blood of oxen and other animals, but in the blood of the Son, Jesus Christ. This new covenant, foreseen from afar by Jeremiah and the prophets, was not to be engraved on stone, or written on paper, but carved on our hearts, so that we might know God intimately. Not by keeping many laws are we to be saved, but by the love of God, living and real in our hearts through the sacrifice of Christ. Our Eucharist is the pledge of that indwelling of Christ, and of our response of praise and thanksgiving to God for the mercy, love, and kindness shown to us in forgiving our sins and cleansing our hearts of everything evil. God issues this invitation to intimacy by of-fering us the chance to have our sufferings transformed into the per-fect love of the Savior, who first loved us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

That vessel is this image with the signature: "Jesus I Trust in You". (Diary of St. Faustina, 327) "The soul that will go to confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment . . . Let no soul fear to draw near to me, even though its sins be as scarlet. . . mankind will have no peace until it turns to the Fount of My mercy." (Diary 699) Our Lord's promise to grant complete forgiveness of sins and punishment on the Feast of Divine Mercy for the faithful who are in a state of grace, to confess all serious sins through the Sacrament of Penance, to receive Communion and to pray for the Holy Father's intentions by reciting the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, and end with the Ejacula-tion, "Merciful Jesus, I trust in You."

Oración Diaria por los Sacerdotes

O Jesús, Te ruego por tus fieles sacerdotes. Por tus ti-bios e infieles sacerdotes; Por tus sacerdotes que están con nosotros o en tierra de misiones. Por los sacerdotes que son tentados; Por los sacerdotes abandonados y en soledad; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes moribundos; Y por quienes sufren en el Purgatorio. Ante todo, pongo en tus manos a los sacerdotes que más quiero: El sacerdote que me bautizó; El sacerdote que me absuelve de mis pecados; Los sacerdotes que celebran la Misa a que asisto y me da en Comunión tu Cuerpo y Sangre; Los sacerdotes que me instruyen; Por quienes estoy en deuda, en espe-cial (por el Padre______). O Jesús, consérvalos siempre junto a tu corazón y bendícelos siempre hasta la eternidad. Amén. Sta. Therese de Lisieux

Nuestra Misión

San Carlos es una Iglesia enfocada en Cristo, diversa, centrada en la familia, sirviendo a la comunidad católica de Imperial Beach y South Bay. Creemos en la presencia verdadera de Jesucristo en la Eucaristía y Su Gracia salvadora recibida en los Sacramentos. Creemos en la Santa Iglesia Católica instituida por Jesús, en la santidad de la vida, el valor de la familia, y de la educación católica de toda la vida para todas las edades. Vi-vimos para profundizar nuestro amor a Dios, esparcir Su Evangelio y traer a otros a Cristo. Estamos compro-metidos a una vida de oración, de sacrificio, y al servicio a aquellos más necesitados. Con amor, humildad, y alegre obediencia, nos esforzamos para ser transformados y para ser guiados por el Espíritu Santo hasta que seamos transformados en la vida eterna en el Cielo.

SALVADOS POR EL AMOR DE DIOS

Después de que los israelitas quebrantaron la antigua alianza, Dios prometió una nueva alianza, no con la sangre de bueyes y otros ani-males sino con la sangre del Hijo, Jesucristo. Esta nueva alianza, que Je-remías y los profetas habían anticipado, no sería grabada en piedra ni es-crita en papel, sino que se escribiría en el corazón, para que pudiéramos conocer a Dios íntimamente. La salvación no está en obedecer muchos preceptos, sino en el amor de Dios, que está vivo y es real en nuestro co-razón gracias al sacrificio de Cristo. Nuestra Eucaristía es la promesa del Cristo que vive dentro nues-tro y de nuestra respuesta de alabanza y agradecimiento a Dios por su misericordia, amor y bondad al perdonar nuestros pecados y limpiarnos el corazón de todo mal. Dios extiende esta invitación a la intimidad al ofrecernos la oportunidad de que nuestro sufrimiento se transforme en el amor perfecto del Salvador, que siempre nos amó. Copyright © J. S.
