On Stations of the Cross. Every Friday of Lent, we follow the Lord on his path to
Calvary. This devotion allows us to be close to Jesus and share in his sufferings. It also allows
us to do penance.
The devotion evolved over time. Tradition has it that the Mother of God, the Blessed
Virgin Mary, visited daily the scenes of our Lord’s passion. When Constantine recognized
Christianity as the empire’s official religion, the pathway was marked with stops or stations.
Pilgrims visit these stations and followed the way of the Cross.
The number of stations vary according to who does or promotes the devotion. These
stations vary. But as it is developed, stations of greater significance were emphasized.
William Wey, an English pilgrim popularized 14 stations.
When the Franciscans took custody of the Holy Sites, they introduced prayers and
indulgences when following the footsteps of Christ. The devotional prayers became popular
in the 16th century and was translated into different languages.
“At the end of the 17th century, the erection of stations in churches became more popular. In 1686, Pope
Innocent XI, realizing that few people could travel to the Holy Land due to the Moslem oppression, granted the right to
erect stations in all of their churches and that the same indulgences would be given to the Franciscans and those affiliated
with them for practicing the devotion as if on an actual pilgrimage. Pope Benedict XIII extended these indulgences to all
of the faithful in 1726.
Five years later, Pope Clement XII permitted stations to be created in all churches and fixed the number at 14. In
1742, Pope Benedict XIV exhorted all priests to enrich their churches with the Way of the Cross, which must include 14
crosses and are usually accompanied with pictures or images of each particular station. The popularity of the devotion
was also encouraged by preachers like St. Leonard Casanova (1676-1751) of Porto Maurizio, Italy, who reportedly
erected over 600 sets of stations throughout Italy.
To date, there are 14 traditional stations.” (Fr. William Suanders)

Year of Mercy. This March, the corporal work of mercy that we are enjoined to participate in is to forgive
offenses and admonish sinners.
On the cross, where Christ was hanging, he did not condemn his persecutors. He called to God saying, “Father,
forgive them for they not what they do.” Forgiveness is easy for a heart filled with the love of God. Jesus is filled with
the Father’s love. With that love, Jesus cannot help not to share love and forgive sinners.
Love impels us to admonish the wrong doing of our fellow human beings. Love is not tolerance. Love is courage
to tell the other what needs to be told in the light of the truth of the Gospel.
This Jubilee year, specifically this month of March, we are asked to forgive the offenses of those who hurt us
and admonish those who hurt us.
En las estaciones de la cruz. Todos los viernes de Cuaresma, seguimos al Señor en su camino al Calvario. Esta
devoción nos permite estar cerca de Jesús y compartir sus sufrimientos. También nos permite hacer penitencia.
La devoción evolucionado con el tiempo. La tradición dice que la Madre de Dios, la Virgen María, visita
diariamente las escenas de la pasión del Señor. Cuando Constantino reconoció el cristianismo como la religión oficial del
imperio, la vía estaba marcado con paradas o estaciones. Los Peregrinos visitan estas estaciones y siguen el camino de la
cruz.
El número de las estaciones varían en función de que hace o promueve la devoción. Estas estaciones varían. Pero
a medida que se desarrollaba, se hizo hincapié en las estaciones de mayor importancia. William Wey, un peregrino
Inglés popularizó 14 estaciones.
Cuando los Franciscanos tomaron la custodia de los Santos Lugares, introdujeron oraciones e indulgencias al
seguir las huellas de Cristo. Las oraciones devocionales se hizo popular en el siglo 16 y fue traducido a diferentes
idiomas.
"A finales del siglo 17, la construcción de estaciones en las iglesias se hizo más popular. En 1686, el Papa
Inocencio XI, al darse cuenta de que pocas personas podrían viajar a Tierra Santa debido a la opresión musulmana, el
concede el derecho de instalar estaciones en todas sus iglesias y que las mismas indulgencias se les daría a los
(continua en la pagina próxima)
Franciscanos y a los afiliados a ellas para la práctica de la devoción como si estuvieran en un peregrinaje real. El Pap
Benedicto XIII amplió estas indulgencias a todos los fieles en 1726.
Cinco años más tarde, el papa Clemente XII permite que se crearán en todas las iglesias y se fija hasta el número
14. En 1742, el Papa Benedicto XIV exhortó a todos los sacerdotes a enriquecer sus iglesias con el Camino de la Cruz, el
cual debe incluir 14 cruces y son por lo general acompañados de fotografías o imágenes de cada estación en particular.
La popularidad de la devoción también se sintió alentado por predicadores como San Leonardo Casanova (1676-1751) de
Porto Maurizio, de Italia, que según se informo hizo más de 600 conjuntos de estaciones en toda Italia.
Hasta la fecha, hay 14 estaciones tradicionales. “(Padre William Suanders)

Año de la Misericordia. Este mes de Marzo, la obra de misericordia corporal que estamos obligados a participar
es en perdonar delitos y amonestar o advertir a los pecadores.
En la cruz, donde Cristo fue colgado, no condenó a sus perseguidores. Llamó a Dios diciendo: "Padre,
perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen." El perdón es fácil para un corazón lleno del amor de Dios. Jesús está lleno de
amor del Padre. Con ese amor, Jesús no puede ayudar a no compartir el amor y perdonar a los pecadores.
El amor nos impulsa a amonestar el mal hechos a los demás seres humanos. El amor no es la tolerancia. El amor
es el valor de decirle al otro lo que necesita ser contada a la luz de la verdad del Evangelio.
Este año jubilar, en concreto este mes de Marzo, se nos pide perdonar y amonestar los delitos a los que nos hacen
daño o nos han lastimado.

“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did
for me” (Mt 25:40). Today, we are reminded that Jesus identified himself with our
poorest brothers and sisters. The Catholic Relief Services Collection serves Jesus in the
victims of human trafficking, those who suffer from unjust laws, and those who need
pastoral care and humanitarian assistance across the globe. This weekend we are
taking up a collection for CRS; if you were not able to participate you may return your donation to the office
or through next week’s collection, marking your donation “CRS” in the memo line. Please be generous as
you help Jesus in disguise.
“Yo les aseguro que, cuando lo hicieron con el más insignificante de mis hermanos, conmigo lo hicieron” (Mt
25:40). Hoy se nos recuerda que Jesús se identificó con los más pobres de nuestros hermanos y hermanas.
The Catholic Relief Services Collection sirve a Jesús en las víctimas del tráfico humano, en los que sufren por
leyes injustas y en los que necesitan cuidado pastoral y asistencia humanitaria en todo el mundo. Al apoyar a

Extended Confession Times Thru Lent
The Lenten Season is all about God’s Mercy and how we can make things right with God. It’s all because of God’s
Mercy and desire for us to be as close to Him as we can get that He gave us His Son as a sacrifice. Jesus wanted us to
be his brothers & sisters, to share in the Kingdom, so he gave his life for us. As hard as it may sometimes be, our part is
to accept the patient love they offer, set aside our own chagrin and go to confession to receive the Grace He is oh so
patiently waiting to give us.
For the rest of Lent, Father has extended confession times to the same business days and hours as the parish office, so
if you wish to receive confession Tuesday - Friday from 9:30am-Noon & 1-4pm, please stop by St Mary’s, go into the
chapel entry and to the right is a counter with a phone. Above the phone is a sign. If the sign is turned to show the
priest is in doing confessions, have a seat and he will come through to find you. If the sign is turned saying to call the
office, follow the directions and we will be with you shortly.
The usual confession times around the masses are still in place as is the reconciliation service on March 15th at 7pm.
Stations of the Cross - Fridays only - At your convenience
If you wish to come to the church to do Stations of the Cross on your own, as long as there isn’t already a Mass or other
event going on - Come on in! Late morning, lunch break, late afternoon - come in through the Chapel entrance, pick up
a Stations guide and head into the church. There are still the regularly scheduled evening Stations lead by various
church groups (see schedule on the front page).

7:00pm. Please plan to join us on March 18. If you would like further information about this ministry contact Carol

that continue to support this ministry through your generous donations of funds and supplies. We are blessed to
have a community of faith that has and continues to support our efforts throughout these many years. Without

MEN'S SATURDAY BIBLE GROUP
For the weeks of Lent at least, please consider joining the St.
Mary' Men's bible group that meets once a week each
Saturday at 9.30 AM in the St. Maximilian Kolbe room; the entrance faces the children's Play Land beside the church parking
lot. The group reads and reflects on the gospel of the Sunday
mass. We use a lectio divina approach, rather than studying the
gospel academically. Lectio divina, or "sacred reading" is an ancient Church practice of praying by reading the scriptures. This
method has been revived in the Church today and has become
very popular.
Here's what we do: The gospel text is read slowly and deliberately two or three times with short periods between each reading for prayerful silence and reflection, with pointers on how to
better listen to what the Lord says to each in the silence of the
heart. For more information about the group, contact either of
the following group members:
Rich Amos at, AMOSR@ME.COM,
Brian Badger at badger7566@comcast.net and
