Adult Faith Formation
Please join us every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish
Hall as we explore the word of God.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Lent is a call not just to “give up something” but more important to “give something for the poor.” Wherever you live in
the parish, there are poor families within walking distance of your home. When in need, they ring the rectory bell. The
are, in effect, ringing your doorbell.
Your gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box will help the poor to celebrate the grace of God’s love this Easter.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (St. Monica Conference) is looking for bilingual members to join the Ministry. If you want to be
part of the very important Ministry in the parish please contact Glenn Gonzales at 832-287-7608. Thank you and God bless you all
for your willingness serve God, through your service to the people in the community.
The Promise of Giving
In an effort to keep from depleting our food supply at our Food Pantry we need your help. Beginning next month, April, we will
begin “The Promise of Giving” food collection project. This project enables everyone in the parish to play an active part in ending
the dreadful epidemic of hunger in our community. Every first Sunday, we will provide brown bags with a list of items we need in
our pantry for that particular month, attached to the bag. There will be someone distributing the bags after each Mass. This is strictly
on a volunteer basis, so please don’t feel obligated. The Word of God says, “Give according to the blessings of your life.” If you feel
that you’ve been blessed, then we ask that you please be a blessing to someone else by taking a bag, purchase the items included on
the list, place the items in the bag, and at some point during that month when you come to Mass, place the bag in the St. Vincent de
Paul food box located in the vestibule of the church. We can’t beat God’s giving no matter how we try. Let’s unite together and
eliminate hunger in our Community.

From The Pastor’s Desk:
Lent has always carried with it the dual character and call for purification and enlightenment. Our response to the call for repentance
always leads to God’s forgiveness, and the realization of how abundant his compassion, mercy and love are. We see this, in the first
reading, in his willingness to set his people free from bondage by the leadership of Moses.
In the gospel, Jesus calls his compatriots to repentance and fruitfulness in holiness of life. And Paul reminds us that the Israelites of
old lived under the cloud (God’s presence) and God’s providence, but they were blinded from seeing his love and giving him
thanks. We are called to be a people who are grateful for God’s care, his mercy and his love. What is the one thing in life that you
think came to you by God’s providence?
The Cardinals of the universal Church are going into Conclave soon, to elect a new pope, the leader of the Church. Just as the Israelites of old needed a leader, the people of God in this age need a leader. So, keep this process in your prayer. Our Parish Lenten Retreat is next Saturday, beginning with the 8a.m. Mass. I strongly encourage all parishioners to attend this retreat. This year, the retreat is in English only, I encourage our Hispanic brothers and sisters who speak and understand English to attend the retreat also.
The Lenten Penance Service is scheduled for Wednesday, March 13, 2013, at 7 p.m. The service will be bilingual. Please, continue
to pray for our sick brothers and sisters, for God’s healing mercy. God bless you today and everyday.
Fr. John Ayang, S.O.L.T.
Sunday Spiritual Thoughts
The Gospel of Luke tells us about the conversation between Jesus and a crowd of People, who narrated Pilate’s brutality to the Galileans who had come to the temple to make a sacrificial offering. Pilate was not a tender-hearted man. There were several bloody
events attributed to him.
In this conversation, Jesus was expected by the people to consider himself like any Galilean, who harshly condemned Pilate’s brutality, and was expected to use his prophetic role against Pilate. The people were just simply waiting for his words, his stand and conviction.
Instead of vengeance and violence obviously seen in the hearts and minds of the people, Jesus appealed to the people around him to
repent; he lifted up the conversation to a higher plane, appealed to the conscience, so that people around him would know what he
was advocating and that was what he was after; namely, conversion of their hearts, which was what they needed, because in their
hearts forces of hate were at work.
Just as Jesus has invited the people around him to repent, he is inviting us to reexamine ourselves, our thoughts. Jesus uses the parable of the Fig tree to implant in our hearts and consciences that conversion of our hearts is urgent, because life and time is precious
in God. This Lenten season is God’s appointed time for us all to rediscover God’s overflowing mercy and loving kindness; it is
God’s time and it is the right time to return to God and bear much fruit in as much as His mercy. We can ask ourselves this question: What attitudes in life do I need to change so to tune up myself according to the ways of God?

Feligreses Enfermos y Ancianos!
Si ustedes saben de algunos enfermos en la casa o en el hospital, llame al Padre John. Por favor deje la siguiente información: nombre de la persona o número del teléfono, dirección de la casa o el hospital.
Del Escritorio de Pastor:
La Cuaresma siempre ha llevado con ello el carácter dual y llamada a purificación y aclaración. Nuestra respuesta a la llamada al
arrepentimiento siempre lleva al perdón de Dios y la realización de qué abundante su compasión, piedad y amor son. Vemos esto, en
la primera lectura, en su buena voluntad de liberar a su gente de la esclavitud por el mando de Moisés.
En el evangelio, Jesús llama a sus compatriotas a arrepentimiento y fecundidad en la santidad de la vida. Y Paul nos recuerda que los
israelitas de viejo vivieron bajo la nube (La presencia de Dios) y providencia de Dios, pero se cegaron de ver su amor y darle gracias.
Nos llaman para ser una gente que está agradecida por el cuidado de Dios, su piedad y su amor. ¿Cuál es una cosa en la vida que
piensa vino a usted por la providencia de Dios?
Los Cardenales de la iglesia universal entran en el Conclave pronto, para elegir a un nuevo Papa, el líder de la iglesia. Como los israelitas de viejo necesitaron a un líder, la gente de Dios en esta edad necesita a un líder. De este modo, guarde este proceso en su rezo.
Nuestra Parroquia Marcha atrás Cuaresmal es el próximo sábado, comenzando con 8:00. Misa. Fuertemente animo a todos los feligreses a asistir a esta marcha atrás. Este año, la marcha atrás está en inglés sólo, animo a nuestros hermanos y hermanas hispanos que
dicen(hablan) y entienden inglés para asistir a la marcha atrás también.
El Servicio de la Penitencia Cuaresmal se programa para el miércoles, 13 de marzo de 2013, a las 7:00. El servicio será bilingüe. Por
favor, siga rezando por nuestros hermanos y hermanas enfermos, por la piedad de curación de Dios. Dios te bendiga hoy y diario.
Padre Juan Ayang, S.O.L.T.
Domingo Insperaciones del Espiritu
El Evangelio de Luke nos dice sobre la conversación entre Jesús y una muchedumbre de la gente, que relató la brutalidad de Pilate a
los galileos que habían venido al templo para hacer un ofrecimiento de sacrificio. Pilate no era un hombre bondadoso. Había varios
acontecimientos sangrientos atribuidos a él.
En esta conversación, la gente esperó que Jesús se considerara como cualquier galileo, que severamente condenara la brutalidad de
Pilate y se esperara usar su papel profético contra Pilate. La gente esperaba simplemente sólo(justo) sus palabras, su soporte y convicción.
En vez de venganza y violencia obviamente vista en los corazones y las mentes de las personas, Jesús apeló a la gente alrededor de
él para arrepentirse; levantó la conversación a un avión más alto, apeló a la conciencia, de modo que la gente alrededor de él supiera
(conociera) por qué abogaba y esto era lo que era después; a saber, la conversión de sus corazones, que era lo que necesitaron,
porque en sus fuerzas de corazones del odio estuvieron en el trabajo.
Como Jesús ha invitado a la gente alrededor de él a arrepentirse, nos invita a reexaminar a nosotros, nuestros pensamientos. Jesús
usa la parábola de la Higuera para implantar en nuestros corazones y conciencias que la conversión de nuestros corazones corre
prisa, porque la vida y tiempo es preciosa en Dios. Esta temporada Cuaresmal es el tiempo designado de Dios para todos nosotros
para descubrir de nuevo la piedad desbordante de Dios y la bondad de cariño; es el tiempo de Dios y es el momento oportuno para
volver a Dios y dar mucho fruto en tanto como Su piedad. Nos podemos hacer esta pregunta: ¿Qué actitudes en la vida tengo que
cambiar así para templarme según los caminos de Dios?
Padre Lauro Bejo, S.O.L.T.
Sociedad de St. Vincent de Paul
La Cuaresma es una llamada no sólo(justo) para “dejar algo”, pero más importante para “dar algo para los
pobres. ” Dondequiera que viva en la parroquia, hay familias pobres dentro de la distancia a pie de su casa. Cuando en la necesidad, tocan la campana de la rectoría. Ser, en efecto, tocando su timbre.
Su regalo en San Vicente de Paul Caja Pobre ayudará a los pobres a celebrar la gracia del amor de Dios este Easter.

Reflexión de la mayordomía
La parábola en el Evangelio de hoy claramente advierte que, como la higuera, seremos juzgados por nuestra fruta. ¡Mientras Dios
misericordiosamente nos provee de tiempo y oportunidad, vamos a dar a testigo de nuestra fe con hechos de bondad y generosidad!
Por favor no comer caramelos o masticar chicle durante la Misa.
Por favor no pegue goma bajo las
bancas.
NO BASURA DE LA CASA DE DIOS
Para la Reflexión!
Para embridar su lengua, dé a
Dios las rienda de su corazón.
