"To evangelize and share the Gospel, walk with one another on our journey of faith, and draw others into Christ's one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church." 3rd Sunday of Lent March 8, 2015 The Ten Commandments: A Compass for our Lives In God’s loving mercy he gave us a path to follow. A path that will guide us in this life, and lead us to our eternal happiness with Him. During this Lenten season let us examine our conscience, are we obeying His Commandments, or are we picking and choosing which ones to keep? Do we regard them as suggestions rather than commandments? It is our prayer that during this Lenten season we will awake to His calling and embrace His Commandments as we journey together on the path that will lead us Home. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Scrutinies and Presentation of The Creed On the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent the Church celebrates the “Scrutinies” for the Elect (the unbaptized adults preparing for Baptism at the Easter Vigil). (Cycle A Readings for the 9 AM & 11 AM Masses.) To “scrutinize” means to take a long and careful look at the ways we need to be healed and strengthened. In the Scrutinies, the Elect and the Community both acknowledge the power of evil that hinders them from following Christ, and the Elect give public witness to their ongoing conversion. Conversion is not about punishment for sin; it is about an all-loving, merciful God who offers to save us from sin. Conversion is an opportunity to change. The First Scrutiny celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of Lent asks us to reflect on the readings and consider the following questions. In what way have you experienced being an outcast? Who have you made an outcast and why? What are the deep thirsts of our world; Our society; Our Communities? What are my own deep thirsts? These are just a few of the questions the Elect have reflected on when they kneel before the altar today. During the week after the 3rd Sunday of Lent, the Elect are presented with the Creed. The word “Creed” comes from the first word of the Latin document: “credo” meaning, “I Believe.” It is an ancient statement of faith that tells us what the early church believed and what we continue to believe today. During this Rite, the Elect are presented with the essential mysteries of our faith professed in the Nicene Creed and we ask God to purify the Elect to make them worthy to receive the grace of Baptism. The Creed will be presented at 6:45 PM, Wednesday, March 11th in the Church. The Parish Community is welcome to join us to show your ongoing support.

March 1 We can’t put them into test tubes or subject them to psychoanalysis. The most that scientists can do is to observe the effects of demons on our physical world or on human behavior. And, sadly, the prevailing mentality among most of them is that they seek other explanations for demonic phenomena, even when those explanations are utterly inadequate. The second reason we believe in the existence of the devil is because several passages in the Bible testify to the existence of the devil and his evil allies. In particular, the Gospels record that Jesus conversed with the devil. As we heard in today’s Gospel and we read in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, our Lord’s debate with the devil in the wilderness was not some inner dialogue with Himself about temptation. Also, Jesus referred to the devil on several occasions and a huge and indispensable part of Jesus’ public ministry was casting evil spirits out of people who were possessed by them. Of course, some interpreters have claimed that when Jesus cast out evil spirits, Jesus was simply healing a physical or mental disorder misunderstood as demonic possession. But we only need to reply that on at least one occasion, at Christ’s command, the exorcised demons left their human host to take possession of a herd of pigs. You can’t cast a medical disorder out of a man into a pig. If Jesus, God’s Son, knew what He was doing—as we believe—and if the Gospel accounts are historically reliable—as we also believe—then we must conclude that the forces described in the Gospels as evil spirits are precisely that. Third, we believe in the reality of demonic powers because this belief has been the constant teaching of the Catholic Church ever since Jesus founded the Church. The Apostles and their successors repeatedly have written about the devil. Through the centuries, Popes, Councils, and great theologians of the Faith have consistently affirmed that the devil is real. Numerous saints whose moral integrity and mental health can hardly be debated have testified to personal battles with demons. Also, the devil is referred to in our Sacred Liturgy, especially in the last petition of the Our Father: “Deliver us from Evil.” The fourth reason we believe in the existence of the devil is from our own personal experience of human events. Something supernaturally evil gets into people to have them do the horrific, inhuman, evil things they do—whether you are speaking about the Nazi concentration camps and their brutal annihilation of the Jewish people and others, or, more recently, the horrific atrocities done by Islamic jihadist terrorists. So, who is this ENEMY we are battling? The Church teaches that Satan and the other demons were, at first, good angels, created by God before the creation of the world and the human race. They became evil by their own free choice, radically rejecting God, His Dominion, and His Plan of salvation. They cannot repent of their evil because the choice they made against God is irrevocable. Satan was the leader of the rebels. God used St. Michael and the good angels to defeat Satan and his evil cohorts and to cast them out of heaven. Now they make their influence felt in our world. Since demons are fallen angels, we know what they can and cannot do. Like humans, they have intellects and free wills. But, unlike humans, they are pure spiritual beings; they have no physical bodies as we do that would make them subject to death or physical ailments. Because they have an angelic nature, demons have certain kinds of superhuman powers. They are far superior to us in strength, skill, intelligence, and knowledge. And since they have no physical bodies, they don’t move through space or occupy space. But they can act on physical things and can shift their attention and their activity instantly from one place to another.

SUPPORT THE CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES COLLECTION Sunay, March 15 The Catholic Relief Services Collection funds six Catholic agencies that work to serve our suffering brothers and sisters around the world. Through humanitarian aid, resettling displaced individuals and families, and providing legal and advocacy services for migrants. Did you Know? 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.

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.

Paluch Co., Inc. 1-800-231-0805 Segunda parte del artículo del libro "Manual de Guerra Espiritual". No podemos ponerlos en los tubos de prueba o sujetarlos al sicoanálisis. Lo máximo que la mayoría de los científicos pueden hacer es observar los efectos de demonios en nuestro mundo físico o en comportamiento humano. Y, tristemente, la mentalidad que prevalece entre la mayor parte de ellos es que buscan otras explicaciones para los fenómenos demoníaca, aun cuando esas explicaciones sean completamente inadecuadas. La segunda razón que creemos en la existencia del diablo es porque varios pasajes en la biblia atestiguan a la existencia del diablo y de sus aliados del mal. Particularmente, los evangelios registran que Jesús conversó con el diablo. Como oímos en el Evangelio de hoy y leímos en los Evangelios de Mateo y de Lucas, la discusión de nuestro Señor con el diablo en el en desierto y no era un diálogo interno sobre la tentación. También, Jesús se refirió al diablo en varias ocasiones y una gran parte e imprescindible en el ministerio público de Jesús' era el de liberar a la gente que era poseída por espíritus malignos. Por supuesto, algunos intérpretes han dicho que cuando Jesús echó afuera a los espíritus malignos, era simplemente una sanación de un desorden físico o mental entendido como como posesión demoníaca. Pero necesitamos solamente contestar eso en por lo menos una ocasión, en el comando de Cristo, los demonios exorcistados salieron del ser humano y tomaron posesión de una manada de cerdos. Usted no puede echar un desorden médico fuera de un hombre en un cerdo. Si Jesús, Hijo de Dios, sabía lo que hacia—como nosotros creemos—y si el Evangelio es tán históricamente confiable— como nosotros también creemos—entonces que debemos concluir que las fuerzas descritas en los Evangelios como espíritus malignos son exactamente eso. Tercero, creemos en la realidad de las energías demoniacas porque esta creencia ha sido la enseñanza constante de la Iglesia Católica desde que Jesús fundó la Iglesia. Los Apósteles y sus sucesores han escrito en varias ocasiones sobre el diablo. Con los siglos, los Papas, los Consejos, y los grandes teólogos de la fe han afirmado constantemente que el diablo es verdadero. Numerosos santos de integridad moral y salud mental han atestiguado las batallas personales con los demonios. También, se refieren al diablo en nuestra Liturgia Sagrada, especialmente en la ultima petición del Padre Nuestro: “Líbranos del Mal.” La cuarta razón que creemos en la existencia del diablo es de nuestra propia experiencia personal de acontecimientos humanos. Algo malo supernatural entra en la gente y consigue que ella haga cosas horríficas, inhumanas, malvadas—si usted está hablando sobre los campos de concentración Nazis y su aniquilación brutal de la gente Judía y de otras, o, más recientemente, las atrocidades horríficas hechas por los terroristas Islámicos del jihadist. ¿Así pues, quién es este ENEMIGO que estamos luchando? La Iglesia enseña que Satanás y los otros demonios eran, al principio, buenos ángeles, creados por Dios antes de la creación del mundo y de la raza humana. Llegaron a ser malvados por su propia opción libre, rechazando radicalmente a Dios, Su Dominio, y Su Plan de la Salvación. No pueden arrepentirse de su mal porque la opción que hicieron contra Dios es irrevocable. Satanás era el líder de los rebeldes. Dios usó a San Miguel y los buenos ángeles para derrotar a Satanás y sus cohortes malvados y para echarlos fuera de cielo. Ahora se siente su influencia en nuestro mundo. Puesto que los demonios son ángeles caídos, sabemos lo que pueden y no pueden hacer. Como seres humanos, tienen intelectos y voluntad libre. Pero, desemejante de los seres humanos, son solo seres espirituales; no tienen ningún cuerpo físico como nosotros que los harían conforme a la muerte o a dolencias físicas. Porque tienen una naturaleza angelical, los demonios tienen ciertas clases de energías sobrehumanas. Son superiores a nosotros en fuerza, habilidad, inteligencia, y conocimiento. Y puesto que no tienen ningún cuerpo físico, no se mueven a través del espacio u ocupan espacio. Pero pueden actuar en cosas físicas y pueden moverse de lugar y poner su atención y su actividad instantáneamente. Continuara el próximo domingo...
