"The Ten Commandments" is a post-biblical, phrase that developed along with an image of God as police officer that is not found in today's passage from Exodus. The first phrase is the key: God is the one who brings us out of slavery; following God's law or commands is our path to freedom. The moneychangers whom Jesus drove from the temple were not explicitly breaking any of the commandments, but neither were they helping people to find God's path to freedom as they came to worship at the temple. This is an important Lenten lesson for us. We need to stop asking ourselves whether or not we are breaking specific rules or regulations and instead examine our lives to see if we are truly following a path to God's freedom through Christ. PRAYER & WORSHIP DURING LENT Stations of the Cross Fridays at 7:00 p.m. (Bilingual) in the Church Fish Fry & Lenten Soup Fridays from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. in Madonna Hall *Freewill offering to help cover the costs of dinner* Reconciliations here at St. Genevieve Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Parish Penance Service on Tuesday, March 24th at 7:00 p.m. We will have several visiting priests present to hear confessions. Reconciliations at other Parishes Tuesdays at 6:15 p.m. in Our Lady of Peace, North Hills Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. in St. Elisabeth, Van Nuys Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. in St. Jane Frances, North Hollywood Thursdays at 6:15 p.m. in Our Lady of Peace, North Hills Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. in St. Jane Frances, North Hollywood Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. in Mary Immaculate, Pacoima Penance Services at other Parishes Thursday, March 19th at 7:15 p.m. in Our Lady of Peace, North Hills Wednesday, March 25th at 7:00 p.m. in St. Elisabeth, Van Nuys Thursday, March 26th at 7:00 p.m. in Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Sun Valley Pray for our Elect The Scrutinies These very special rites are celebrated on the middle three Sundays of Lent, at liturgies where the Elect are present. The Elect are those in our midst who are preparing for Baptism. The adults and children of our parish who will be received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil are: Lisbeth Gaspar, Sayuri Geronca, Refugio Gutierrez, Jr., Miriam Ivon Juarez, Phoebe Phillips, Sebastian Peralta & Manuel Villalpando Coronado. Even if these rites are not celebrated at the liturgy we attend, or not celebrated in our parish or congregation at all, it can be wonderful to reflect upon the journey these Elect are making during Lent, as an inspiration and source of renewal for us in our journey. These are ancient rites and they may, at first, seem strange to us. But they are profoundly rooted in our human experience. We need to examine (scrutinize) how we are, the areas of our lives where we are tempted, or seriously sin - in what we do and what we fail to do. Please keep the Elect in your prayers as you continue your Lenten journey. 3 Third Sunday of Lent March 8, 2015 In your charity, please pray for the sick of our Parish Fortunado Abrera, Josefina Alcala, Dominga Alvarado, Angel Angeles, Angelina Arreola, Adela Ayala, Ma Conception Ayala, Nenette Fabiosa Becker, Constante Batugo, Jennifer Batugo, Mario Batugo, Arielle Jules Bautista, Dean Joseph Bellio, Bessie Beltran, Catalina Bolankos, Beatriz Bolante, Bernarda & Mario Bonilla, Sandy Bonilla, Pureza Bueno, Adelaida Capote, Miguel Capote, Jonah Carpio, Blanquita Carrillo, Manuel Carillo, Maria Guadalupe & Ramon Cervantes, Juan Cervantes Godinez, Rene Charles, Eligio Chavez, Jelen Chiong, Vincent Colarossi, Kay Crain, Carlos Cruz, Sergio Cruz, Susie Cruz, Carol Cueto, Andromeda Dacumos, James Daley, Celia De La O, Frank B.

"Los diez mandamientos" es una frase post-bíblica, que se desarrolló junto con una imagen de Dios como 'policía' la cual no se encuentra en el pasaje de hoy del libro del Éxodo. La primera frase es clave: Dios es el que nos sacó de la esclavitud; cumplir las leyes o mandamientos de Dios es nuestro camino a la libertad. Los cambistas a quienes Jesús echó del templo no estaban violando ninguno de los mandamientos, pero tampoco estaban ayudando a la gente a encontrar el camino hacia la libertad de Dios cuando llegaban al Templo a rezar. Esta es una lección de la Cuaresma importante para nosotros. Tenemos que dejar de preguntarnos si estamos o no violando alguna regla o reglamento específico, y en cambio examinar nuestra vida para ver si verdaderamente estamos siguiendo un camino hacia la libertad de Dios por medio de Cristo.

Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is healthy Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is not sex education. There are many safety issues we teach children: bike safety, water safety, fire prevention, driver's training, etc. Personal safety programs should have age appropriate lessons that give children the skills they need to protect themselves without frightening them. Keeping children unaware of the dangers around them does not keep them safe. Predators count on children not knowing what to do.

Heaven is at present out of sight, but in due time, as snow melts and discovers what it lay upon, so will this visible creation fade away before those greater splendors which are behind it. --John Henry Newman 6 Third Sunday of Lent From the Parish Center Easter Flower Envelope Our Holy Week/Easter decor budget comes from the generous donations received through the Flower Envelope.

Es saludable enseñar a los niños sobre la seguridad personal y los límites del contacto físico con otros Enseñar a los niños sobre los límites y cuando un contacto físico con otros es seguro no es educación sexual. Hay muchos temas de seguridad que enseñamos a los niños: seguridad en las bicicletas, seguridad en el agua, prevención de incendios, entrenamiento para conducir, etc. Los programas de seguridad personal deben contar con lecciones apropiadas para la edad, que les brinde a los niños la información que ellos necesitan para protegerse sin asustarlos. Mantener a los niños sin el conocimiento de los peligros a su alrededor no los mantiene seguros. Los predadores cuentan con que los niños no saben lo que hacen.

Uno de sus ministerios es "Pauline Books & Media", una libreria ubicada en Culver City, donde se pueden encontrar libros, DVDs, y música para ayudar a su familia crecer en su fe y expresar su identidad Católica. Ellas van a traer libros para todas las edades, las vidas de los Santos en DVD, música por el coro de las Hijas de San Pablo, y recursos para la Cuaresma. Queremos agradecer a todos ustedes que han dado generosamente a Unidos en Mision en los últimos años. Estos fondos han ayudado, literalmente, no sólo para proporcionar el ministerio, sino también para mantener las puertas abiertas en 80 parroquias y 63 escuelas en toda la Arquidiócesis de Los Angeles con el apoyo de la campaña. Su donación nos permite proveer los recursos y ministerios esenciales que enriquecen la vida parroquial, fortalecen las familias, promueven el liderazgo en la Iglesia e inspira y educa a las futuras generaciones de nuestra fe. Unidos en Misión tiene un nuevo sitio web en Español donde se puede ver más información: www.unidosenmision.org Este sitio web también facilita hacer su donativo a traves del internet.
