Pastor’s Desk
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,,
I am so grateful for your initial and overwhelming response in pledges for our “We Are Living Stones” Capital Campaign.
Please see the flyer in today’s bulletin for the latest amount and for the dates of the remaining parish receptions we are holding
for you this coming week. I ask as many of you as possible to come to one of them to learn more about how you can help both the
parish and the Archdiocese in providing for some of the needs and challenges we can face together. Please reply to the rectory
with the date of your choice, so that we may be best prepared for you. Attending a reception will give you an opportunity to learn
more specific details and ask any questions you may have. I am asking every parish family to consider making a sacrifice for this
campaign. The more we are able to raise, the more we will be able to do for our parish!
+++
I remind you of our Lenten Penance Service with individual confessions next Saturday, March 21st, at 1pm in our Church.
Many priests from our Cluster parishes will be here to serve you.
Msgr. Richard Arnhols, Pastor
Reflection on Today’s Readings
Year B—All Masses except 9am and 10:30am
The image of the grain that must fall to earth and die before it can bear new life is both a powerful image of the Christian
dynamic of death and resurrection, and a potentially misleading one. It is powerful because it draws on a familiar image from
nature to show the logic of the Christian faith. It is potentially misleading for the same reason, implying that the pattern of death
and resurrection revealed in Jesus is somehow the same as the natural process of birth, death, and rebirth that we see in the
world around us. But this is not the case: the raising of Jesus from the dead in fact reverses the inexorable processes of nature
by which things are born and die. The Resurrection is about God’s kingdom breaking in upon our world. So the image of the
grain dying and rising only works as an image of the Paschal Mystery if we keep in mind that it is the Father who raises Jesus
from the dead, in defiance of all worldly logic.
It is through our learning to embody this new logic of death and resurrection that the law of God is, as Jeremiah says, written in
our hearts. It is when we come to see ourselves as joined to Christ in his dying and rising, in his falling to the earth and his
rebirth by the power of God, that we become God’s people. This is the new covenant that God makes with us in our Baptism.
Lent is the time in which we prepare ourselves to re-experience that which is most fundamental to our identity as Christians: our
identification through Baptism with the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Year A– 9am and 10:30am Masses
It is striking that, in the story of the man born blind, the man’s neighbors enter into a debate—once he is healed—as to whether
it is in fact the same man. It is as if they have difficulty recognizing him once the blindness that was for them his defining feature
is gone. It is also noteworthy that they refer to him as “the one who used to sit and beg.” For them, he was not a person with a
name and a story, but simply a part of the landscape, wholly defined by his blindness and his begging. Furthermore, despite the
fact that they know nothing about him, and seem to want to know nothing about him, they presume that his blindness must be the
result of sin—either his sin or that of his parents.
Part of the irony of the story is that it is the man’s neighbors who are really the blind ones. It is they who cannot see beyond their
presumptions and prejudices and truly perceive the blind man. Moreover, they cannot truly see Jesus, saying that they know that
he is a sinner. As Jesus heals the man’s physical blindness, he is also trying to heal the blindness of the bystanders by giving
them the eyes of faith, so they can see what the blind man now sees: that if Jesus were not from God, he would not be able to do
anything.
Though we might think of healing physical blindness as a great miracle, the Gospel of John seems to be saying that it is spiritual
blindness that truly needs to be overcome, and it is the healing of spiritual blindness that is the greatest miracle.
Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” John 3: 16
Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a
gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we be generous in making some
sacrifices for Him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ~ Spiritually Adopted Baby
Your spiritually adopted baby was born this month...nine
months after his/her mother concieved him/her. The only
change at birth is a change in the external life support system
of the baby. Your baby is no different now that he/she before
birth except breaths and eats differently and is truly a miracle.
Your baby began as a 46-chromosome cell and has grown over
the past nine months into this unique human baby we now can
see. Never before in history, nor ever again, will anyone exist
who is exactly like your spiritually adopted baby. Your prayers
saved his/her life. Thank you on behalf of all the little babies
and their mothers for your loving prayers that helped to bring
them to birth “so that they might have life and have it to the
full!”

Vatican Education Prefect: “Church Needs Faithful Catholic Schools”
“True and faithful Catholic education is necessary today given the crises of values and family life” explained Cardinal
Grocholewski. Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education.
His presentation titled “The Need for Catholic Schools and Their Identity.” focused on the prevalent cultual crisis and the dire
need for strong Catholic education, noting the crisis in moral values, which is the root of all educational problems.
The Cardubak stated that Catholic education in a primary means to renew family life. Parents must be recognized as the primary
educator of their children, and “we need Catholic schools that focus on the family: keep in mind the family’s needs, and defend its
dignity and the values on which to build its happiness. Our schools must teach people to build strong, responsible and long lasting
families.”“Yes, we need Catholic schools” he fimily declared
He further stated “We need schools that concern themselves with forming humanly and spirtually mature persons, discerning
people who want, and are able, to use what they have learned on for good.”
