The parable in today’s Gospel clearly warns
that we, like the fig tree, will be judged by our
fruit. While God mercifully provides us with
time and opportunity, let us give witness to our
faith with deeds of kindness and generosity.

OUR SEMINARIAN
Recently, the seminarians of our diocese
were asked if they needed anything.
Their overwhelming request was to be
remembered in prayer by each person in
the diocese.
Each parish has been
assigned a seminarian to pray for and the
young man for St. Mary Church is
John Daniel. The diocese also asks
that we keep all the seminarians in our
prayers. In the narthex of the church you
will find a board with all the seminarians
pictures and a special prayer that can be
said for them. Also if you want to contact John Daniel, you can
do so at [email protected]. The emails for the
other seminarians can be found on the board in the narthex.

Dear Men & Women of the Parish,
The Men & Women’s CRHP Planning
Teams are praying that your hearts and
minds will be open to the possibility of
participating in our parish’s Spring CRHP
retreats. The men will meet April 2/3 and
the women April 24/25.
Here is what parishioner, Kathy Curry had to say about her recent
retreat experience.
“Attending Christ Renews His Parish was a wonderful opportunity to
meet other women in the parish who were looking to deepen their
relationship with Jesus. I treasure the relationships that I have made
with the women that I attended the retreat with. It was a great way to get
away for a retreat without going very far from home.”

website at www.saintmarychurchfwb.org.

Cuaresma
"YO SOY"
Lo que el pueblo esclavizado de Israel necesitaba era la bondad y misericordia de Dios, y esas dos cosas llegaron bajo la forma de
una liberación. Llegaron por medio de un caudillo, Moisés, que cuando niño fue salvado de las aguas del Nilo, y ahora estaba
pastoreando las ovejas de su suegro en el desierto. La zarza que ardía sin consumirse nos muestra que Dios es un misterio
inagotable.
El temor y respeto de Moisés están mezclados con una confianza conmovedora, cuando trata de averiguar el Nombre del Señor. Y
Dios le responde dulcemente con un Nombre -YO SOY- que distingue al Dios de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob de los diosecitos de las
naciones, que "no-son". Esos diosecitos de nada son impotentes e inútiles. Moisés tiene que avanzar hacia un futuro increíble, y Dios
lo espera allí con mano poderosa y brazo extendido. Es como si el Señor le dijera, "Ve, y verás".
