3rd Sunday of Lent
Family Prayer
L
oving and faithful God, through the years the people
of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and
love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war,
disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with
Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of
today against violence, murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a
community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives
respect to the life and dignity of all people.
Bless parents that they may form their children in faith.
Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers
of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved
ones through violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice
for life and human dignity in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy
family.

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
1. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast.'
I came to Jesus as I was,

2. Me envolvían redes de muerte,
caí en tristeza y en angus a,
invoqué el nombre del Señor:
"Señor, salva mi vida".

nuestro Dios es compasivo.
El Señor guarda a los sencillos,
estando yo sin fuerzas me salvó.

2. We must walk this lonesome valley;
We have to walk it by ourselves.
Oh, nobody else can walk it for us;
We have to walk it by ourselves.
3. You must go and stand your trial;
You have to stand it by yourself.
Oh, nobody else can stand it for you;
You have to stand it by yourself.
4. Jesus walked this lonesome valley;
He had to walk it by himself.
Oh, nobody else could walk it for him;
He had to walk it by himself.

1. Amo al Señor, porque escucha
mi voz suplicante,
porque inclina su oído hacia mi
el día que lo invoco.
4. I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus.

No turning back, no turning back!
Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley
1. Jesus walked this lonesome valley;
He had to walk it by himself.
Oh, nobody else could walk it for him;
He had to walk it by himself.
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till trav'ling days are done.
So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a res ng place,
And he has made me glad.
2. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live.'
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that lifegiving stream;
My thirst was quenched,
my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
3. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your day be bright.'
“God is rich in mercy . . .” Ephesians 2:4
4. Alma mía, recobra tu calma,
que el Señor fue bueno con go;
arrancó mi alma de la muerte,
mis ojos de las lágrimas,
mis pies de la caída.

Encuentro
Estribillo
Señor, permite que te hable hoy,
del dulce encuentro que me cambió,
la hora feliz en que yo escuche,
tu palabra de amor.
1. Dime como pudo suceder?
si en la luz que el sol vierte al surgir?
cuando el dolor me hace sufrir,
o fue una noche al volver?
February 28, 2016
3rd Sunday of Lent
2. Fue cuando una rosa deshoje,
en la fuente de agua que bebí,
o fue en el calor del tosco hogar
donde por fin te encontré.
Cantor Solo (recitado):
Nunca más me cansaré de
hablar con go, mientras pueda,
hablaré de nuestro encuentro,
encuentro de amigo con amigo,
que me cambió por dentro,
que me cambió por dentro.
(al estribillo)
Page 3
levantándose antes que el sol,
hacia los campos que lejos están,
muy temprano se va el viñador.
Sólo racimos de amargo sabor
ha encontrado en tu corazón.
Dime si puede esperar algo más
de su viña, el viñador.
Sois los pastores que han de guiar
al mundo por sendas de paz.
Sois los amigos que quise escoger,
sois palabra que intento gritar.
Sois reino nuevo
que empieza a engendrar
jus cia, amor y verdad.

3. Sois fuego y savia que vine a traer,
sois la ola que agita la mar.
La levadura pequeña de ayer
fermenta la masa del pan.
Una ciudad no se puede esconder,
ni los montes se han de ocultar,
en vuestras obras que buscan el bien
los hombres al Padre verán.
Canto Final
Id y Enseñad
1. Sois la semilla que ha de crecer,
sois estrella que ha de brillar.
3. No fue en esas horas de ilusión,
sino al decidir mirarme bien,
como amigo en mi alma te encontré,
Tú me esperabas ahí.

Return to God
1. From ashes to the living font
your church must journey, Lord,
bap zed in grace, in grace renewed
by your most holy word.
Comunión
El Viñador
1. Por los caminos sedientos de luz,
levantándose antes que el sol,
hacia los campos que lejos están,
muy temprano se va el viñador.
No se de ene en su caminar,
no le asusta la sed ni el calor.
Hay una viña que quiere cuidar,
una viña que es todo su amor.
Estribillo
Dios es tu amigo, el viñador,
el que te cuida de sol a sol.
Dios es tu amigo, el viñador,
el que te pide frutos de amor.
2. Él te protege con un valladar
levantado en tu derredor,
quita del alma las piedras del mal
y ha elegido la cepa mejor.
Limpia los surcos con todo su afán,
y los riega con sangre y sudor.
Dime si puede hacer algo más
por su viña, el viñador.
3. Por los caminos sedientos de luz,
Sois levadura, sois grano de sal,
antorcha que debe alumbrar.
Sois la mañana que vuelve a nacer,
sois espiga que empieza a granar.
Sois aguijón y caricia a la vez,
tes gos que voy a enviar.
Estribillo
Id, amigos, por el mundo,
anunciando el amor,
mensajeros de la vida,
de la paz y el perdón.
Sed, amigos, los tes gos
de mi resurrección.
Id llevando mi presencia;
con vosotros estoy.
2. Sois una llama que ha de encender
resplandores de fe y caridad.
Refrain
Return to God with all your heart.
Surrender and be free.
With humble hearts we cry to you:
Have mercy on us, Lord;
forgive our sin, we pray, we pray.
2. Through fas ng, prayer, and charity
your voice speaks deep within,
returning us to ways of truth
and turning us from sin.
3. From desert to the mountain top
in Christ our way we see,
so, tempered by tempta on's might,
we might transfigured be.
4. For thirs ng hearts let waters flow,
let fain ng souls revive;
and at the well your waters give
our everlas ng life.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
1. There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in God’s jus ce,
Which is more than liberty.
There is plen ful redemp on
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2. There is welcome for the sinner,
And a promised grace made good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in Christ’s blood.
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh crea ons
In that upper home of bliss.
Refrain
So be merciful,
just as our God is merciful.
Be merciful,
just as our God is merciful to us.
Let there be a wideness in our mercy.
Let there be a kindness in our hearts.
Oh, may our lives be merciful.
3. For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple,
We would know the living word;
And our lives would be thanksgiving
Page 4
In the kindness of our Lord.

And as you bow down

How many mes

And as you say, “Yes,”
leSng me love you,
I will be strength for the journey.

Dead became living,
life from your giving.
2. Something which we have known,
something we've touched,
what we have seen with our eyes:
this we have heard, life giving Word.
3. He chose to give of himself,
became our bread.
Broken that we might live.
Love beyond love, pain for our pain.
4. We are in the presence of God.
This is our call.
Now to become bread and wine:

SACRED HEART ENTHRONEMENT
Am I like the fig tree in today’s gospel reading? Do I
look great and sound good but bear no fruit for
Christ? Do I fit in everywhere but bring no one closer
to Him? If God is the Creator and I am the creature,
and I am bearing no fruit for Him, won’t He be tempted to give up on me? Even if He does, Jesus is my
Savior, my Redeemer and He will say to the Mighty
One, “Father, I know this does not look good but I
don’t want to lose her, look at how much I suffered
for her… See the wounds in my hands and my feet,
even my Sacred Heart was pierced for her. She has
so much potential, please give me some more time. I
will coax and guide her, I will instruct her Guardian
Angel to whisper words of encouragement in her ear;
and all the while I will bathe her in My mercy. If after
all this she still does not budge, then You may punish
her as You see fit… perhaps then she will get her act
together.”
This Lenten season you’re invited to experience Divine
Mercy Life Teen’s “Living Stations of the Cross” on
March 4, 2016, @ 7pm, in the church. Join us as the
teens briefly examine Christ’s Way of the Cross. Another “examination” or scrutiny is called for in today’s
Gospel (John 4:5-42) when Jesus has a conversation
with the Samaritan woman at the well.
An author on a website
(https://thesteppingstones.wordpress.com) suggests
that we are called to examine our lives and how we
are living them. Just as the Samaritan women and
Jesus discussed events in her life, at Life Teen and
Edge, teens look at themselves and their decisions in
their lives.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary lists the simple definition of scrutiny as: the act of carefully examining
something especially in a critical way: the act of scrutinizing something. This helps to explain why this
Gospel is also known as “the first scrutiny.” Come
join us this Lenten season and grow closer to Christ
as you carefully examine your life.
Abba Father, please do not ever give up on me.
Sacred Heart in your home, please contact AnneMarie d'Abadie at 443-2204 or email [email protected] (English), or Lynda Peña at 338-4306

de hoy? Me veo bien y sueno bien, ¿pero no dar
fruto para Cristo? ¿Encajo yo en todas partes,
pero no llevo a nadie más cerca de Él? Si Dios es
el Creador y yo soy la criatura, y no doy fruto para Él, ¿Él no va a tener la tentación a renunciar a
mí? Incluso si lo hace, Jesús es mi Salvador, mi
Redentor y dirá al Todopoderoso, "Padre, sé que
esto no se ve bien, pero no quiero perderla, mira
cuánto sufrí por ella. Mira las heridas en mis
manos y mis pies, incluso mi Sagrado Corazón
fue traspasado por ella... Ella tiene mucho potencial, por favor, dame un poco más de tiempo.
Yo la halagaré y la guiaré. Yo voy a instruir a su
Ángel Guardián a susurrar palabras de aliento
en su oído; y todo el tiempo la bañaré en Mi misericordia. Si después de todo esto todavía no se
convence, entonces puede castigarla como mejor Te parezca... tal vez entonces ella conseguirá
ordenar su vida."
Abba Padre, por favor no te des por vencido conmigo.

Este tiempo de Cuaresma te invita a experimentar Life
Teen de la Divina Misericordia “Estaciones Vivas de la
Cruz" el día 4 de marzo del 2016, @ 7:00pm, en la iglesia. Únete a nosotros mientras los adolescentes examinan brevemente el Camino a la Cruz de Cristo. Otro
"Examen" o escrutinio se hace en el Evangelio de hoy
(Juan 4: 5-42) cuando Jesús tiene una conversación con
la mujer samaritana en el pozo.
Un autor en un sitio web
(Https://thesteppingstones.wordpress.com) sugiere que
estamos llamados a examinar nuestras vidas y la forma
en que las estamos viviendo. Al igual que la mujer samaritana y Jesús discutieron los acontecimientos en su vida,
en Life Teen y Edge, los adolescentes se ven a sí mismos
y sus decisiones en sus vidas.
El diccionario Merriam-Webster enumera la simple definición de escrutinio que: el acto de examinar cuidadosamente algo especialmente de una manera crítica: el acto
de escrudiñar alguna cosa. Esto ayuda a explicar por qué
este Evangelio también se conoce como "el primer escrutinio." Únete a nosotros en este tiempo de Cuaresma y
acércate más a Cristo al examinar cuidadosamente tu
vida.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are in
the Blessed Sacrament. I love You
above all
things, and I
long for You in
my soul. Since I
cannot now
receive You
sacramentally,
come at least
spiritually into
my heart. As
though You have already come, I
embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be
separated from You.
Acto de Comunión
Espiritual
Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en
el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te
amo por encima de todas
las cosas y yo
Te deseo en mi
alma. Como
ahora no puedo recibirte
sacramentalmente, al menos ven a mi corazón espiritualmente. Como ya has venido, Yo te
abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti.
Nunca permitas que me separe de
ti.

Prayer for Vocations
God of Pentecost, you renew the Church
in every age by raising up men and
women outstanding in holiness.
We pray for the men and women—
priests, deacons, religious, married and
single—that your’re calling to lead the
New Evangelization and the New
Springtime.
We pray for their holiness, their ability
to hear your call, and the freedom they
need to say “yes” to you. Grant them
courage, vision and passion to serve
your people.
May their lives inspire us to respond to
the presence of the Holy Spirit as you
inflame the Church throughout the
world, raising up a generation of saints
on fire for you. AMEN
