2016 Lenten Message of Pope Francis
“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice” (Mt 9:13)
For all of us, then, the season of Lent in this Jubilee
Year is a favorable time to overcome our existential alienation by listening to God’s word and by practicing
the works of mercy. In the corporal works of mercy we
touch the flesh of Christ in our brothers and sisters who
need to be fed, clothed, sheltered, visited; in the spiritual
works of mercy – counsel, instruction, forgiveness, admonishment and prayer – we touch more directly our
own sinfulness. The corporal and spiritual works of
mercy must never be separated. By touching the flesh of
the crucified Jesus in the suffering, sinners can receive
the gift of realizing that they too are poor and in need.
By taking this path, the “proud”, the “powerful” and the
“wealthy” spoken of in the Magnificat can also be embraced and undeservedly loved by the crucified Lord
who died and rose for them. This love alone is the answer to that yearning for infinite happiness and love that
we think we can satisfy with the idols of knowledge,
power and riches. Yet the danger always remains that by
a constant refusal to open the doors of their hearts to
Christ who knocks on them in the poor, the proud, rich
and powerful will end up condemning themselves and
plunging into the eternal abyss of solitude which is Hell.
The pointed words of Abraham apply to them and to all
of us: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them” (Lk 16:29). Such attentive listening will best prepare us to celebrate the final victory over sin and death
of the Bridegroom, now risen, who desires to purify his
Betrothed in expectation of his coming.
Let us not waste this season of Lent, so favorable a
time for conversion! We ask this through the maternal
intercession of the Virgin Mary, who, encountering the
greatness of God’s mercy freely bestowed upon her, was
St. Charles Borromeo Parish—celebrating 225 years of faith!
the first to acknowledge her lowliness (cf. Lk 1:48) and to
call herself the Lord’s humble servant (cf. Lk 1:38).
Lenten Prayer of the Week
Lord Jesus, on a mountainside
You taught Your disciples, and us, how to pray.
In the treasured words of the prayer we call Your own,
we pray to be forgiven
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
Lord, forgive our loveless thoughts and words
and our stubborn refusal to forgive others.
Teach us to forgive, as on a mountain called Calvary,
You forgave even those who crucified You.
Amen.

Joke of the Week
While working for an organization that delivers
lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4 year old
daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly
intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I
found her staring at some false teeth soaking in a glass.
As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, “The tooth fairy
will never believe this!”

Our Parish Family
Honduras—Hungering to Learn
Two years ago, Mayra was not a star student. She was very shy in
the classroom and struggled with simple math and reading lessons. She often missed homework assignments and, some days,
did not go to school.
Her teacher noticed and enrolled Mayra in the school’s tutoring program. In the months that followed, Mayra and Fabricio, her tutor and classmate, spent many afternoons practicing reading and
writing stories together. They made up games to practice math. And when they were done, they
jumped rope and played in their neighborhood. In the process, the two became good friends.
“Fabricio never looked down on me because I had trouble learning,” says Mayra. “He always treated me well.”
The extra attention was what Mayra really needed. She lives with her grandmother, Lucia, who works hard to take care of
Mayra. She picks coffee on a nearby farm and does laundry to earn money to put food on the table. But this means she
doesn’t always have time to help Mayra with her school work. In fact, like many people her age, Lucia cannot read.
That’s why Fabricio’s help was so important. Today, Mayra is proud of her reading and math skills. She does her homework and goes to class on time. She is more confident and has a new group of friends.
Mayra wants to be a teacher one day. But first, she will become a tutor so she can help her classmates-just as Fabricio
helped her.
Facts to Consider:
 Nearly 65% of Hondurans—more than 5 million people—live on less than $2 a day. In response, CRS Honduras is
working on projects ranging from agriculture to education.
 The Food for Education project, which helped Mayra, benefits 53,863 children enrolled in 1,046 pre-primary and primary schools. The project improves literacy, attendance, retention and attentiveness.
 By providing regular meals at school, students are more likely to go to school—and have the energy to learn. For
many students, this may be the best—and only—meal they receive all day.
 The project supplies basic educational materials, trains teachers to better support students and provides transportation
so students can get to school.
 The project is improving the school with better classrooms, restrooms and safer environments. School gardens are
being built to teach students about the importance of healthy food.
Catholic Social Teaching: Call to Family, Community and Participation
Human beings are social by nature—we need each other. We, like the early disciples, are called to come together and
grow as a community—whether that community is in our classroom, workplace or family.
Let us pray: For students, young and old, that they be given the opportunities and support they need to pursue their passions, and use their knowledge and skills for the betterment of their community.

WE THANK EACH OF YOU
for the great love you show to our Borromeo Family carrying on the work of Jesus and to those in need by the generosity you display when you share your Treasure, and all
God’s gifts to you, given for others.
“No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that
year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.”
(Joshua 5: 12)
Over the forty years that the Israelites journeyed through
the desert, God provided them with manna to eat. As
soon as they were able to enjoy the fruits of the Promised Land the manna ceased. Likewise, God’s blessings to
us may change over the years but it is important to trust
that God will always provide us with all that we need.
We pray that we may put our complete trust in God to
provide all that we need, just as God provided the Israelites with manna until they arrived in the Promised Land.
Ladies Sodality meeting will be March 8 at 6:30pm

the bidding. Anyone with a Birthday in March be sure to

We are also putting together Easter baskets to sell at
the Fish Fries. We need your help!! Please bring Easter
candy to the meeting on March 9—anything individually
wrapped, such as candy bars, chocolate bunnies, etc.

The St. Charles Borromeo Journey
1818
St. Charles Borromeo had been without a full time pastor since the departure of Fr.
Dunand in 1814. During one of his visits to St. Charles, Bishop Dubourg called a
meeting of the town’s leaders, both Catholic and Protestant, to discuss the construction of “a Seminary for female education on a large scale.” The woman Bishop Dubourg had in mind to run the girl’s school was Philippine Duchesne. However, he had not notified the 49-year-old nun of this plan until she arrived in St.
Louis in August of 1818. With her had come four French-speaking nuns, 36-yearold Octavie Berthold, 26-year-old Eugenie Aude, 40-year-old Catherine Lamarre
and 40-year-old Marguerite Manteau.
In Paris Bishop Dubourg had promised Philippine that she would work with Native
Americans in or near St. Louis. Nevertheless, when they reunited in St. Louis, he claimed that more good would come
from the education of white children than of Indians, and insisted that the nuns move
twenty miles west to St. Charles. Philippine fought his decision with every argument she
could muster but the bishop refused, leaving them only the choice between St. Charles and
Florissant. Philippine reluctantly chose St. Charles.
In September 1818, Dubourg rode out from St. Louis beside the nun’s carriage over the
dusty, hot roads to St. Charles. Accompanying them was Borromeo’s new pastor, Fr. Benedict Richard. He was one of Dubourg’s early Benedictine recruits and with whom the nuns
had traveled north from Louisiana. His ministrations at St. Charles Borromeo began Sept.
1818 with his first baptism in the log church Fr. Richard also served as the nuns’ confessor
and spiritual advisor, and on days of the week when attendance was likely to be low, he
said Mass at their residency in Madame Duquette’s house which had been converted to
accommodate the nuns. In return, the Sisters included among their chores cooking for their
confessor/chaplain.
By sending both Fr. Richard and the Sacred Heart community to St. Charles, Bishop Dubourg aimed to do more than just shore-up Catholicism in the town: he intended nothing
less than the improvement of society through the education (both secular and religious) of
the upper classes, reasoning this arrangement would eventually “trickle down” to the poor.
Philippine contested this logic, not only because she longed to work with the poor but also St. Rose Philippine Duchense
(mosaic in the New Cathedral)
because it further thwarted her dream to live near the Indians.

after the 8:00am Mass on Mondays through Fridays. During this special period of time in the Church, Pope Francis calls
all Catholics to be profound witnesses to mercy and to “find the joy of rediscovering and rendering fruitful God’s mercy,
with which we are all called to give comfort to every man and every woman of our time.” Please join us!

Lenten Family Reflection
“What is God’s plan? It is to make of us all a single family of his children, in which each person feels that God is
close and feels loved by Him.” —Pope Francis
■
Paul says, “So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if
God were appealing through us.”
How am I called to bring God into my community?
Where can I allow God to speak through me?
■
“I no longer deserve to be called your son,” says the
prodigal, but his father sees things differently. As a
member of the family, he has an important role that
no one else can fill—and his father calls him back to
it.
As members of God’s family, do we recognize and
live out our unique roles?

In today’s Gospel, the prodigal son repents and finds mercy in the heart of his father. Know that your
penance during Lent can give the poor the grace of finding the merciful heart of God the Father.
Through your almsgiving you are performing a good work; far greater than you think. Know that your
nickel, dime or quarter is multiplied by the coins placed by others in the St. Vincent de Paul collection
next weekend.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Cuaresma es tiempo de reconciliación por medio del perdón. En este espíritu, el Papa san Juan Pablo
II pidió perdón por pecados cometidos por la Iglesia.
Uno de estos pecados es la manera como América fue
cristianizada.
La relación del latino con la religión católica ha
sido entre buenas intenciones y antagonismos. Gracias
a Dios, ¡somos cristianos! Lamentablemente, nuestro
bautizo, en la mayor parte de los casos, fue en agua
bendita y sangre indígena a la vez, ya que América fue
evangelizada con cruz y espada. Los pobres misioneros
que con fatiga, predicaron en nuestras tierras venían
acompañados por hombres poderosos en busca de
riquezas.
El filósofo romano-español Séneca (siglo I)
afirmaba: "la religión es algo que para la persona común es verdad, para el sabio es falso y para el poderoso es útil". A su vez, el romano-judío Pablo de Tarso
declara que en Cristo, Dios ha revelado que la persona
común y necia derribará la falsedad de los sabios (1
Cor 1:18-31).
El latino creyente reconoce que su fe nació del
dolor de la conquista y no niega los abusos clericales,
pero confía en el Evangelio reconciliador.

El Camino de St. Charles Borromeo
1818
Sn. Carlos Borromeo había estado sin pastor de tiempo completo desde la salida del p.
Dunand en 1814. Durante una de sus visitas a San Carlos, el obispo Dubourg convocó
una reunión de líderes tanto católicos como protestantes de la ciudad, para discutir la
construcción de "un seminario a gran escala” para la educación de las mujeres. La mujer
que el obispo Dubourg tenía en mente para la escuela de niñas, era Filipina Duchesne.
Sin embargo, no había notificado a la monja de 49 años de edad de este plan hasta que
llegó a St. Louis en agosto de 1818. Con ella habían venido a cuatro monjas de habla
francesa, Octavie Berthold de 36 años de edad, Eugenie Aude de 26 años, Catherine Lamarre de 40 años y Margarita Manteau de 40 años.
En París, el obispo Dubourg había prometido a Filipina, que ella trabajaría con los indígenas nativos de o cerca de St.
Louis. Sin embargo, cuando se reunieron en St. Louis, el afirmó que sería mejor educar a los niños blancos que a los indios e insistieron en que las monjas fueran veinte millas al oeste, a San Carlos. Filipina
lucho lo más posible pero el obispo lo rechazó, dejándoles solamente la opción entre Sn
Carlos o Florissant. Filipina de mal ganas eligió Sn. Carlos.
En septiembre de 1818, Dubourg montó hacia fuera de St. Louis al lado del carro de la
monja sobre los caminos polvorientos y calurosos hacia Sn. Carlos. También las acompañaba el nuevo pastor de Borromeo, el Padre Benedict Richard. Fue uno de los primeros reclutas de benedictinos de Dubourg y habían viajado hacia St Louis con que las
monjas desde de Luisiana. Sus ministraciones en St. Charles Borromeo comenzaron septiembre de 1818 con su primer bautismo en la iglesia de troncos. Padre Richard también
sirvió como asesor espiritual y confesor de las monjas, y en los días de la semana cuando
la asistencia probablemente fuera bajo, dijo Misa en su residencia en casa de Madame
Duquette, que la había convertido para dar hospicio a las monjas. En cambio, las hermanas incluyen entre sus quehaceres, cocinar para su confesor/capellán.
Al enviar el p. Richard y la comunidad del Sagrado Corazón a Sn. Carlos, el obispo Dubourg intentaba hacer algo más que asegurar el catolicismo en la ciudad: tenía la intención más que nada mejorar de la sociedad a través de la educación (ambos seculares y
religiosos) de las clases altas, razonando que, de esta forma que filtraría finalmente "gota
a gota" a los pobres. Filipina disputaba esta lógica, no sólo porque ella deseaba trabajar
con los pobres sino también porque frustraba su sueño de vivir cerca de los indios.
