Romero Celebration - March 13th - 12:30pm
On Sunday, March 13th our Salvadoran Community will
host our parish’s annual celebration in honor of Blessed
Bishop Oscar Romero. Mass will begin at 12:30pm and
Bishop Gregorio Rosa Chavez will celebrate the Mass.
Bishop Gregorio Rosa Chávez is the Auxiliary Bishop
from San Salvador. Bishop Rosa Chávez feels a deep
personal connection to Blessed Romero. Many see him
as the carrier of Romero’s torch of justice and peace.
Bishop Rosa Chávez is profoundly connected to the
struggles of his people. Bishop Rosa Chávez has been
the guest speaker at the Romero Celebrations in
Kansas City in 2008, 2010 and 2013. We are humbled
that he accepted the invitation once again to join us on
this 36th anniversary.
Blessed Óscar Arnulfo Romero (August 15, 1917 March 24, 1980) was a prominent Roman Catholic
priest in El Salvador during the 1960s and 1970s,
becoming Archbishop of San Salvador in 1977. After
witnessing numerous violations of human rights, he
began to speak out on behalf of the poor and the
victims of repression. This led to numerous conflicts,
both with the government in El Salvador and within the
Catholic Church. After speaking out against U.S.
military support for the government of El Salvador, and
calling for soldiers to disobey orders to fire on innocent
civilians, Archbishop Romero was shot dead while
celebrating Mass at the small chapel of the cancer
hospital where he lived.
Bilingual Story Time
The Belton Library is coming to St. Sabina the second
Thursday of every month to present story time in
English and Spanish for pre-school age children.
Please plan on joining us on March 10th at 10am in the
Juan Diego Room in the Education Wing. You are
invited to bring a toy and stay for an hour of play after
Story Time.

Parish Happenings and Information

Stations of the Cross will be
prayed on Fridays during Lent, February 12 - March
18th. They will be prayed in English at 6pm each Friday
and in Spanish at 7pm. All parishioners are invited to
attend.
Lenten Reconciliation Service Our Parish Lenten
Reconciliation Service will be Tuesday, March 8, 2016
at 7:00 PM. Lent is a time when we reflect on the ways
we have fallen short of living our baptismal call. During
this Year of Mercy, it is an especially good time to
recognize that God continually calls us back to Him. He
offers us the gifts of mercy and forgiveness. Please join
us as we celebrate this mercy during the sacrament of
Reconciliation.
Catholic Jewelry and Religious Article Sale The
Altar Society of St. Sabina is offering a beautiful
selection of medals, crucifixes, rosaries, bracelets, and
necklaces after Masses on March 5/6 and 12/13.

Stop by the table early for the best selection! All
proceeds benefit St. Sabina Parish. Cash, checks and
credit cards will be accepted.

The Sacred Triduum - The Story of Salvation
Told by Word and Symbol - March 10 at 7pm
Comprising Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the
Easter Vigil, the Triduum is one celebration leading us
into the heart of our identity as the Catholic Church. Yet,
we do not merely recall a historical event. Through our
own dying and rising with Jesus Christ, we are
challenged to re-enter Christ’s paschal mystery, that by
dying to ourselves, we may receive the promise of
Easter and rise to new life in Christ!
The rituals of the Triduum use word and symbol to
speak to each of us in a unique way. By sharing what
the symbols mean to each of us and exploring how they
came to be used in our liturgy, each of us can have a
richer celebration of how God is using them to speak to
us anew this year.
This session is being facilitated by Rob Kottenbrock and
it will be held on Thursday, March 10th at 7pm in the
church. To register please contact Biagio at 816-9793153 or the parish office at 816-331-4713 or sign up in
the gathering space.

An estimated 86 million American adults are pre-diabetic; they have Tuesday:
higher than normal blood sugar levels that, barring intervention, will
put most of them on track to develop full-blown type 2 diabetes in the Wednesday:
next ten years. The good news: Even if you’re in this group, it’s not
too late to shift course, says Elizabeth Venditti, PhD, a principal Thursday:
investigator with the National Institutes of Health’s Diabetes
Prevention Program Outcomes Study. Take this quiz to get healthier.
Friday:
1. You’re out to dinner. What should you order?
A. Salad with salmon
B. Chicken and veggies
Saturday:
C. Chicken, veggies, and a quinoa salad
ANSWER: C There’s a lot of talk about plant-based and carb-free
diets being the healthiest, but when it comes to type 2 diabetes, the
most important thing is calorie control and proportions, “Half your plate should be fruits and vegetables, a quarter
can be starches and grains, and another quarter should be protein,” says Venditti. Keep in mind that consuming
protein and vegetables before carbs may lead to lower insulin spikes, according to recent research.

Stewardship/Pastor’s Note
“So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were
appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of
Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made
him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might
become the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5: 20-21
Then, as now, an ambassador was one who
represented a ruler, at that time most likely a king, in
dealing with others. Paul’s meaning is that we are
called to represent our King, the Lord, here and now
in our dealings with others. We do things
representing our Lord and Savior, and we need to
recognize both that fact and the responsibility which
goes with it. It is what being a steward means —
someone who is placed in charge of gifts which
come to us from God and which are to be used in
God’s behalf. That should be part of our Lenten
efforts. — See more at www.catholicsteward.com/

A Note from Fr. Jeff
Easter is rapidly approaching and I pray that we all are sacrificing material needs during this Lenten season. The
more we realize how these things of this world do not matter much in the eyes of God, the better we can live as
sons and daughters of God. The money we save by not purchasing everything we see and want actually frees us
to understand better what Pope Francis is requesting all of us to do; to think about the needs of others. I have
noticed that our special collections have been very low during my three and a half years here at St. Sabina. For
this reason, we have decided to return the second collection after communion. This allows us to focus not just on
the needs of our parish, but also the many needs that our church deems necessary for second collections.
Already we have noticed an increase in the first second collection we had. We are going to continue having
second collections every week until the summer. On weekends when there is not a mandated collection for the
diocese, we will designate all funds for our buildings and maintenance upkeep. This will allow us to set aside
funds for the needs around our parish. Our sidewalks are crumbling and the pot holes in our parking lot are
increasing. The carpeting in the school of religion and some of the offices is dismal. I am hoping that we can raise
the funds in the next few months to offset most of these expenditures. As my good friend in the heart of Chicago
always says to his parish, “God loves a cheerful giver!”

Reflection on the Readings
The fourth Sunday of Lent is traditionally known as Laetare or Rejoice Sunday, focusing on
the anticipated joy of Easter at the heart of the baptismal and penitential season of Lent. This
Sunday the priest can wear rose colored vestments indicating our anticipated Easter joy.
Reflecting on this Sunday’s readings, the theme of joy that comes from reconciliation and from
having been fully restored to God’s loving relationship come through powerfully. Reconciliation
involves a willingness to change by letting go of the past and being fully open to the
transforming presence of God and others. With the catechumens, those preparing for baptism
at the Easter Vigil, we resolve to renew our own baptismal promises and recommit ourselves
once more to live and act like Jesus.
The refrain of responsorial Psalm 34 encourages us to partake in that joy by asking us to “Taste and see the
goodness of the Lord.” The psalm invites us to bless and praise the Lord because of God’s attentive ear to our
pleas for help. The psalmist assures us that no matter what, we can trust in the Lord who does hear our cry for help
and delivers us. This Sunday, we take great joy in our attentive and life-giving God as we begin our communal
gathering with the invitation to rejoice, laetare.
The first reading from Joshua celebrates the reality that the Israelites are in the Promised Land after God “removed
the reproach of Egypt” from their midst. They are no longer in bondage in Egypt. With God’s help, they have
journeyed through the desert with all its difficulties. Finally, they are camped on the land of promise, and can
partake fully of the land’s rich food and drink. Such nourishment assures them that God does keep promises and
can be relied upon. God heard their cries and did marvelous deeds on their behalf, restoring them once more to
fullness of relationship. In many ways, the Israelites can now literally “taste and see the goodness of the Lord.”
Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians calls us “a new creation” brought about by God’s reconciling action in Christ.
God did not look upon our deeds or what we deserved. Rather God chose to let go of our past offenses and begin
anew in Jesus. God’s reconciling action through Christ makes us a “new creation.” We begin our new life in Christ
by committing ourselves to the “ministry of reconciliation,” to become living models of reconciliation to the world.
What God has done for us, we commit ourselves to do for one another. In this way all “taste and see the goodness
of the Lord.”
In the loving father/prodigal son parable, Luke emphasizes the reality that God’s love knows no boundaries, loving
all equally, completely and totally without restrictions, reservations or hesitations. The loving father does not dwell
on the past but rather begins anew, giving new life to his now restored son.
This image of God presents many challenges for us simply because it is so different from the way we express love.
Often our love is like that of the elder brother – restrictive, resentful, limited and retributive. Yet, we are called to
imitate God in our manifestation of love. With Paul, we are all called to the “ministry of reconciliation” without limits
or restraints.
Today, take time to rejoice in
that love, and commit yourself
to modeling that love to all,
without any prejudice or
restrictions. Laetare Sunday is
indeed full of joy, allowing us
to fully “taste and see the
goodness of the Lord.” How
will you make that joy your
own?

Reflexión Sobre las Lecturas
El cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma se conoce tradicionalmente como Laetare o Domingo
de Alegría, centrándose en la alegría anticipada de Pascua en el fondo de la temporada
bautismal y penitencial de la Cuaresma. Este Domingo el sacerdote se puede usar
vestiduras de color rosa que indican nuestra alegría anticipada de Pascua.
Al reflexionar sobre las lecturas de este Domingo, se nota claramente el tema de la
alegría que viene de la reconciliación y de haber sido completamente restaurado a la
relación amorosa de Dios. La reconciliación implica una voluntad de cambio al dejar ir el
pasado y ser totalmente abierto a la presencia transformadora de Dios y otros. Con los
catecúmenos, los que se preparan para el bautismo en la Vigilia de Pascua, decidimos
renovar nuestras propias promesas bautismales y comprometernos una vez más a vivir
y actuar como Jesús.
El estribillo del Salmo responsorial 34 nos anima a participar en esa alegría al pedirnos que "gustemos y veamos
que bueno es el Señor." El salmo nos invita a bendecir y alabar al Señor por el oído atento de Dios a nuestras
peticiones de ayuda. El salmista nos asegura que no importa qué, podemos confiar en el Señor que oye nuestro
grito de ayuda y nos libera. Este Domingo, sacamos gran alegría de nuestro Dios vivificador y atento a medida que
comenzamos nuestra reunión comunitaria con la invitación a la alegría, laetere.
La primera lectura de Josué celebra la realidad de que los Israelitas están en la tierra prometida después de que
Dios "quita el oprobio de Egipto" de encima de ellos. Ya no están en la esclavitud en Egipto. Con la ayuda de Dios,
han viajado sobre el desierto con todas sus dificultades. Por fin, se asentaron en la tierra de la promesa, y pueden
participar plenamente de la rica comida y bebida de la tierra. Tal alimento les asegura que Dios cumple las
promesas y se puede confiar en Él. Dios escuchó sus gritos e hizo obras maravillosas en su nombre,
restaurándolos una vez más a la plenitud de la relación. En muchos sentidos, los Israelitas pueden, literalmente,
"gustar y ver que bueno es el Señor."
La segunda carta de Pablo a los Corintios nos llama "una criatura nueva" provocada por la acción reconciliadora
de Dios en Cristo. Dios no se fijaba en nuestros hechos o lo que merecíamos. Más bien Dios escogió dejar de lado
nuestras ofensas del pasado y empezar de nuevo en Jesús. La acción reconciliadora de Dios por medio de Cristo
nos hace una "criatura nueva". Comenzamos nuestra nueva vida en Cristo comprometiéndonos con el "ministerio
de la reconciliación", para convertirnos en modelos vivos de la reconciliación para el mundo. Lo que Dios ha hecho
por nosotros, nos comprometemos a hacer uno por el otro. De esta manera todos "gustan y ven que bueno es el
Señor."
En la parábola del padre amoroso/hijo pródigo, Lucas enfatiza la realidad de que el amor de Dios no tiene límites,
amando a todos igualmente, completamente y totalmente sin restricciones, reservas ni dudas. El padre amoroso
no se detiene en el pasado, sino comienza de nuevo, dando nueva vida a su hijo ahora restaurado.
Esta imagen de Dios presenta muchos desafíos para nosotros, simplemente porque es tan diferente de la forma en
que expresamos el amor. Muchas veces, nuestro amor es como el
del hermano mayor - restrictivo, resentido, limitado y retributivo. Sin
embargo, estamos llamados a imitar a Dios en nuestra
manifestación del amor. Con Pablo, todos estamos llamados a la

La Pascua se acerca rápidamente y oro para que todos
nos estemos sacrificando en las necesidades materiales
durante este tiempo de Cuaresma. Mientras más nos
demos cuenta las cosas de este mundo no importan
mucho en los ojos de Dios, mejor podemos vivir como
hijos e hijas de Dios. El dinero que ahorramos al no
comprar todo lo que vemos y deseamos realmente nos
libera a entender mejor lo que el Papa Francisco está
solicitando a todos a hacer; pensar en las necesidades
de los demás. Me he dado cuenta de que nuestras
colectas especiales han sido muy bajos durante mis tres
años y medio aquí en Santa Sabina. Por esta razón,
hemos decidido volver a la segunda colecta después de
la comunión. Esto nos permite centrar no sólo en las
necesidades de nuestra parroquia, sino también a las
muchas necesidades que estime necesarias nuestra
iglesia para una segunda colecta. Ya hemos notado un
aumento en la primera segunda colecta que tuvimos.
Vamos a seguir teniendo segundas colectas cada
semana hasta el verano. Los fines de semana cuando
no hay una colecta mandataría de la diócesis,
designaremos todos los fondos para nuestros edificios y
mantenimiento. Esto nos permitirá dejar a un lado
fondos para las necesidades alrededor de nuestra
parroquia. Nuestras banquetas se desmoronan y el
número de hoyos en nuestro estacionamiento está
aumentando. La alfombra de la escuela de la religión y
algunas de las oficinas es pésima. Tengo la esperanza
de que podemos conseguir el dinero de los próximos
meses para compensar la mayor parte de estos gastos.
Como mi buen amigo en el corazón de Chicago dice
siempre a su parroquia, "Dios ama al que da con
alegría!"
