Second Sunday in Lent

February 21, 2016
“Adrift in Some Wasteland”
Alone, Empty, Aimless, Spiritually Parched
In the Opening Prayer (Collect) for this Second Sunday of Lent we prayed to God “to nourish us
inwardly…with spiritual sight…” What is it like to be “nourished inwardly with spiritual sight”?
While growing up, Emily Dickinson, the 19th Century American poet, felt alone, empty and aimless; spiritually parched and “adrift in some wasteland”. One author states: “She sensed she lived within a very fragile circle that could dissolve at any moment into nothingness” (Geoff Wood). Even though
not a very pleasant not desirable feeling, this was her entry into writing poetry as a way to pray. She
wrote: “I had a terror I could tell to none, and so I sing because I am afraid”.
To sing, to write, to garden, to paint, to draw, is creatively expressing an inner
life of prayer. It is being nourished inwardly with spiritual sight. It is a form of
transfiguration. Through her solitude, emptiness, dryness and aimlessness, Emily
Dickinson was able to write (to pray), “He touched me…and now I’m different
from before…transfigured now…tenderer…”
During this Lent, may God touch us, nourish us inwardly with spiritual sight, to
become transfigured, different than before, tenderer.
God’s Blessings. Fr. Rossi
How about family time as a Family
Lenten Practice?
We are up to week 2 of the Family/Friends Lenten
Challenge. You are encouraged to turn off all
electronics for 15 to 20 minutes
each week of Lent to reflect and
share on a particular quotation
on the topic of mercy. People
who have participated share that
the time was well spent and it was a great way to
share with one another. Think about joining us for
this great Lenten household practice. Contact Sr.
Mary Beth if you would like to participate.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Breathe into me Holy Spirit,
that all my thoughts may be holy.
Attract my heart, Holy Spirit,
that I may love only what is holy.
Strengthen me, Holy Spirit,
that I may defend all that is holy.
Protect me Holy Spirit,
that I may be holy. Amen.

Pastor: “Am I a true believer or what? The
answer comes from Jesus: ‘Wherever your
treasure lies, there your hearts will be’ (Luke
12:38)”
Parishioner: “I thank those people who helped me
to see that God never stops giving. That has become
my first thought before I give.”
Hasn’t this book given you a lot of
food for thought? It’s the type of book
that wants you to share your ideas and
hear from others. The Holy Spirit
works through all of us. Your
thoughts, comments, and observations
are important. Join us for Bagel
and Beliefs after the 9:00 am
Mass on Thursday for a light
breakfast and good sharing on the
chapters 11 through 20 of
Rediscover Jesus. Just let Sr.
Mary Beth know so she has enough bagels.

School News
Always nice to start the week with a day off on Monday and have the rest of the week go quickly and
smoothly. We held registration for 2016-17 and have a good strong kindergarten class and are happy
to be welcoming new families and students to the SSJ School family! There are still openings in
kindergarten and other grades, so if interested please call. On Wednesday evening we held our
second annual Middle School Open House - so helpful for those new to the school in grades 6-7-8,
but also helpful for current families who are taking their first step into middle school with their
oldest! The teenage adventure begins for them! We are grateful to the Chester County Foundation
for Catholic Education from whom we received a grant for $2,790 which is being applied to software
for the Advancement Office. So many blessings!

PREP HAPPENINGS !!
Pre-School:
The boys and girls do enjoy their special learning about God in the simplest of terms. The Volunteer teachers
continue to bring so many creative ideas to the classrooms. There will be a very exciting EASTER EGG HUNT on
Sunday, March 13th.
Elementary Levels:
The PREP staff will take time off on Monday night, February 29 to “leap” into a Lenten Twilight
Retreat. These teachers, aides and hallway security men and women will come apart to receive God’s
loving mercy and share in some reflection time. All our parish intentions will be remembered especially
those of the children and their families.
The boys and girls will welcome a Missionary priest, Father Miles Heinen, on Tuesday, February 23 and Wednesday,
February 24. They will learn the importance of caring for those who are less fortunate in other parts of the world.
This MISSIONARY SPIRIT that prepares the faithful to be present as Christians in the world is one of the six tasks of
catechesis. Do you know the other five tasks?
Looking ahead: On Sunday, March 6th, we will recognize all those teachers who have recently received awards for a
certain number of years. This will take place at the 12 Noon Mass. We journey on during these Lenten days and
discover Christ “anew.”
Retreat Morning for the Confirmation Candidates: The students and sponsors are preparing for a very special retreat
experience as part of their preparation for the Holy Sacrament of Confirmation. The date for this RETREAT is
Saturday, February 27 (with a snow date of March 12). Time is 8:45 am to 12:30 pm. The morning includes Mass,
presentations, prayer time, confessions, reflection, snacks and a craft/art activity. The morning will begin with
attendance at the 9:00 am daily Mass to be held in our main Church. If the sponsor cannot attend due to distance, then
the child’s parent is expected to accompany the child. Let us continue to pray for the parents, teachers, sponsors and
young people during this Year of Mercy as they prepare to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church.
7th and 8th Grade Youth Group:
The students will gather this Sunday, February 21 from 7:00 pm to 8:30
pm. Topics to be covered are: Lent, Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Plans are underway for group corporal work
SUMMER IS ON IT’S WAY... AND SO IS VACATION BIBLE CAMP!!
