Both can be found under the MEDIA tab at www. Month of St. JosephThroughout the Gospels, St. Joseph remains silent, but his actions speak louder than words. He lives his life in service to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, in perfect conformity to the will of God. Therefore, it is appropriate that we ask St. Joseph to pray for us, so that we, too, may live the lives that God wills us to St.

6 Joseph, accept the offering I make to you. Be my father, protector, and guide in the way of salvation. Obtain for me purity of heart and a love for the spiritual life. After your example, let all my actions be directed to the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and your own paternal heart. Finally, pray for me that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death. Amen? Amen!THE CORNER3 MAR 42018 ALTAR G UILD SCHEDU LEFOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 5 -11 MONDAY 9 AMD. S.

Hearing God s voice amidst the noise and busy-ness of our lives can be difficult. But He is always there to guide and help us, and He has given us other people and resources to help us, as well.

Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy. -St. Isidore of SevilleEASTSIDE FA IT HCredo (I Believe)The Season of Lent, Part IWe began the Lenten season on Ash Wednesday, February 14. While many look forward to this time for opportunities for spiritual growth and renewal, quite o en many of us see it as a liturgical season to dread. We focus on What am I going to give up? How long can I live without whatever it is I am going to give up? How many more days before I don t have to give up whatever it is that I am giving up? Who wouldn t dread a liturgical season with such a narrow focus?

9 Over these next few weeks, we are all encouraged to begin reflecting anew on the real purpose of Lent, the power such a season can be for us, and the real potential for a deeper com-mitment to our Catholic faith, and most important, a deeper communion of love with God. Such a deeper understanding could give us a new attitude for Lent. Baptism is one of Lent s foundational focuses. At the Easter Vigil, the catechumens (referred to as the elect ) will be fully initiated as Catholics through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. It is no coincidence that on Easter Sunday, all the baptized will renew our baptismal promises. Note that I said we are going to renew our baptismal promises and not merely repeat them. Repeating simply recalls some-thing that happened in the past.

10 Renew is entirely different. Renewing our baptismal promises recognizes something still foundational in our life. Renewing our baptismal promises opens our hearts to God s grace. Grace reveals God s great love for us and God s purpose for our life. is great divine love energizes our own love and leads us to a deeper commitment to live these prom-ises more faithfully. Easter is one time in the liturgical year for us to remember that we are baptized once for a lifetime and not merely once in a lifetime. Lent is the time set aside to prepare us to make that renewal faithfully. Our world, our country, and our Church all need us to rediscover the beauty and power of baptism and our call to be co-redeemers with the Lord Jesus Christ. Our baptism calls us to a life of holiness that reveals Jesus great and merciful love to all humanity and all creation.
