March_30th bulletin - St. Brendan the Navigator
Fourth Sunday of Lent March 30, 2014 The Navigator El Navegante St. Brendan the Navigator Catholic Church Cumming, GA Go… Baptize… Teach… Teens Leave a Legacy at St. Brendan’s Proceeds from the recent Cardboard Box City event were distributed with an eye for impacting the future of St. Brendan’s while addressing pressing human needs at the same time. Some $1600 collected during the CBC event were divided up among the Food Pantry, the Good Samaritan Fund, the Garden Ministry—which grows fresh vegetables for the clients of our Food Pantry, and for the long term benefit of our parish through a $500 contribution to the St. Brendan’s Endowment Fund. This particular gift will be noted in the history books of the parish as a gift from these remarkable teens. Thanks St. Brendan’s teens! Your generosity will live on into the future! Look for this symbol throughout the Lenten bulletins. This symbol marks each of the upcoming events that are part of St. Brendan’s “Passport to Paradise” series. Remember to bring your passports to these events and ask to have them stamped or initialed at the event. If you haven’t yet picked up your Lenten Calendar or Passport, more copies are available in the Narthex.

It is a special event that gives an opportunity to reach out and touch the lives of many families in need. This year, we plan to provide 280 families with what they need for a nice Easter meal. When our clients come to the market, it is in addition to their regular monthly visit. Envelopes will be available in the Narthex if you would like to sponsor an Easter meal at a cost of $35.00. We will also give each child attending with their parent a filled Easter basket. The pantry has collected stuffed animals throughout the year, however, we do need nice, gently used, small toys/trinkets, left-over party favors, kid’s meal’s toys and wrapped candy. You may leave donations in the food collection bins in the Narthex. Please join us on April 15th to set up and April 16th for distribution. There is lots to do and will take about 100 volunteers to make the market happen! Need: Nothing! Due to the fabulous donations from the Good Shepherd Food Drive and Cardboard Box City, the pantry shelves are full!!!

Fourth Sunday of Lent Light for the Journey Father of light, you see differently than humans. You chose the young David as your anointed king of Israel. Anoint us with the oil of gladness, we pray, and help us learn what is pleasing to you. Your Son, our gentle Shepherd, leads us out of darkness, awakening the light of our faith, and gives us strength to keep our Lenten disciplines. Illumine the path as we continue our journey to the holy mountain of Easter. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen. Sunday, March 30, 2014 “Surely we are not blind, are we?” Today’s Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6 –7, 10 –13a; Psalm 23:1– 3a, 3b – 4, 5, 6 (1); Ephesians 5:8 –14; John 9:1– 41. Today’s Gospel is about choosing between spiritual blindness and spiritual sight. The Pharisees cannot move beyond their limited worldview. They bully the blind man in order to find fault with Jesus. Perhaps in some areas we cannot move from limited views either. Lent is the time to remove blinders that hinder us from acting out of the light of Christ, from recognizing the beauty of each human person — a reflection of the face of God. Jesus wants to give both physical and spiritual sight. Catechumens have been gradually moving from the darkness of a life not illuminated by the light of Christ to a life of Christian radiance. In another public ritual of the Church called the second scrutiny, we pray for light for their continuing journey toward faith in Christ. We, too, continue our own movement from the darkness of sin and selfabsorption. We commit ourselves once again to the Good Shepherd, who chooses and sustains us in his light, even when we find ourselves in the “dark valley.” Consider lighting a candle each evening at the family dinner table and talking about living in the glow of Christ. For a deeper appreciation of light, first spend a few moments sitting in complete darkness and silence. Go around the table, letting each person describe the experience of light after darkness. How does Christ bring light to your life? This Week at Home Monday, March 31 New Life Today’s Scriptures are filled with images of new life and second chances. In the midst of weeping, sickness, and death, the Lord provides life. For believers, this new life flows from faith in God’s providence through the healing hand of Christ. Are you called to minister to the sick and homebound in your community? Consider training to bring Holy Communion and God’s Word to the sick. Today’s Readings: Isaiah 65:17– 21; Psalm 30:2 and 4, 5 – 6, 11–12a and 13b (2a); John 4:43 – 54. Tuesday, April 1 Wade in the Water! Jesus poses a question in today’s Gospel: “Do you want to be made well?” The waters of Bethseda and those flowing from the threshold of the Temple in today’s Ezekiel reading remind us of our Baptism. We all strive for wholeness, wellness, and holiness. Let us continue to walk with the elect on the holy road to the Easter sacraments. Find the words to the Gospel spiritual “Wade in the Water” at http://www.azlyrics.com /lyrics/pattygriffin/wadeinthewater.html and reflect on its baptismal imagery. Today’s Readings: Ezekiel 47:1– 9, 12; Psalm 46:2 – 3, 5 – 6, 8 – 9 (8); John 5:1–16. Wednesday, April 2 Passing from Death to Life Just as Isaiah speaks God’s words of a future comfort and restoration, John describes Jesus saying that soon the dead in their tombs will hear his voice and come out! Defending his healing work against those who protest that he does it on the Sabbath, he says, “My Father is still working, and I also am working.” Who in your life needs to anticipate Easter through these hopeful words? How could you be a source of comfort and hope to them? Today’s Readings: Isaiah 49:8 –15; Psalm 145:8 – 9, 13cd –14, 17–18 (8a); John 5:17– 30. Thursday, April 3 Losing Trust We hear much about Moses during Lent. He followed God’s instructions and led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness. He brought the Ten Commandments to the people, who promised to be faithful to them. In today’s episode, the people have quickly lost trust in God and are worshipping a golden calf! God calls them a stubborn, “stiff-necked” people and plans to punish them. But Moses implores and God relents. In what ways do we sometimes lose trust in God? Have you ever implored God? What happened? Today’s Readings: Exodus 32:7–14; Psalm 106:19 –20, 21– 22, 23 (4a); John 5:31– 47. Friday, April 4 Saint Isidore Isidore was born around the year 560, and was educated in the cathedral school of Seville, Spain. He became a learned bishop who promoted education and compiled a famous encyclopedia. In the Gospel, Jesus responds to those who are sure he’s only an imposter from Galilee: “You know me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true.” What do you think Jesus was sent to do? What especially has he been sent to do for you today? Today’s Readings: Wisdom 2:1a, 12 – 22; Psalm 34:17– 18, 19 – 20, 21 and 23 (19a); John 7:1– 2, 10, 25 – 30. Saturday, April 5 Let Justice Reign! In today’s Gospel we hear about plots against Jesus. The authorities are alarmed over his growing popularity; arguments break out about who he might be. Nicodemus defends Jesus, citing the law that no one should be condemned without “a hearing to find out what they are doing.” Do we condemn others without hearing the complete story? Let us act with justice and upright hearts. Today’s Readings: Jeremiah 11:18 – 20; Psalm 7:2 – 3, 9bc –10, 11–12 (2a); John 7:40 – 53. © Liturgy Training Publications. 1-800-933-1800.

Reproducibles for Lent-Triduum-Easter 2014 Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma Luz para el camino Padre de la luz, tú miras de modo diferente a los humanos. Tú escogiste al joven David para ungirlo rey de Israel. Úngenos con el óleo del regocijo, te pedimos, para que aprendamos lo que te es grato. Tu Hijo, nuestro Pastor bueno, nos sacó de las tinieblas, para alumbrar la luz de nuestra fe. Él nos fortalece en las prácticas cuaresmales. Ilumina el sendero para continuar nuestro caminar hasta tu monte santo de la Pascua. Te lo pedimos por Cristo nuestro Señor, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. Domingo, 30 de marzo de 2014 “¿Acaso somos ciegos?” Lecturas del día: 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6 –7, 10 –13a; Salmo 23:1– 3a, 3b – 4, 5, 6; Efesios 5:8 –14; Juan 9:1– 41. El evangelio trata sobre la decisión entre ver o ser ciegos. Los fariseos no pueden ir más allá de su mundo cerrado. Y agreden al curado queriendo descubrir alguna falta en Jesús. Quizá en algunas áreas no podamos salir de nuestras visiones cortas. Pero la Cuaresma es tiempo para remover lo que nos impide actuar a la luz de Cristo, reconocer la belleza de cada persona, verdadero reflejo del rostro de Dios. Jesús nos da vista física y espiritual. Los catecúmenos se han ido moviendo desde la oscuridad de una vida sin la luz de Cristo, hacia el esplendor de la vida cristiana. En otro acto público de la Iglesia, el segundo escrutinio, oramos para que la luz guíe sus pasos hacia la fe en Cristo. Quizá nosotros también andamos en oscuridades de pecado y auto-complacencia. Seamos fieles al Buen Pastor que nos elige y sostiene en su luz, incluso si estamos en el ‘valle de tinieblas’. Durante la cena, usted puede encender una vela cada noche y platique sobre cómo vivir en el resplandor de Cristo. Para una más profunda valoración de la luz, pase unos cuantos minutos sentado en completa oscuridad y silencio. Puede colocar la vela en su ventana como signo de seguridad y hospitalidad para quienes pudieran enfrentar algún peligro en la oscuridad de la noche. La semana en casa Lunes, 31 de marzo Vida nueva La Escritura rebosa imágenes de nueva vida y de segundas oportunidades. En medio del llanto, la enfermedad y la muerte, el Señor nos da vida. Para el creyente, esta nueva vida fluye de la providencia de Dios mediante la mano sanadora de Cristo. ¿Se siente usted llamado al ministerio de atender a los enfermos de su comunidad? Usted puede capacitarse para llevarles la Comunión y la Palabra de Dios. Lecturas del día: Isaías 65:17– 21; Salmo 30:2, 4, 5 – 6, 11–12a, 13b; Juan 4:43 – 54. Martes, 1 de abril ¡Agua de salud! Jesús pregunta: “¿Quieres sanarte?”. Las aguas de Betesda y las que fluyen del umbral del templo en la visión del profeta Ezequiel nos recuerdan nuestro bautismo. Todos nos esforzamos por el bienestar, la salud y la santidad. Continuemos con los elegidos, esta ruta santa hacia los sacramentos pascuales. Puede buscar en Internet alguna canción bautismal o que tenga imágenes de ese sacramento. Lecturas del día: Ezequiel 47:1– 9, 12; Salmo 46:2 – 3, 5 – 6, 8 – 9; Juan 5:1–16. Miércoles, 2 de abril De la muerte a la vida De parte de Dios, Isaías anuncia el alivio y la restauración futura, en tanto que Jesús proclama que pronto los que están en las tumbas escucharán su voz ¡y saldrán de ellas! A quienes lo acusan de trabajar en sábado, les dice: “Mi Padre trabaja y yo también trabajo”. ¿Podría usted ‘adelantarle’ la Pascua a alguien? ¿Cómo puede usted dar alivio y esperanza con las palabras de Jesús? Lecturas del día: Isaías 49:8 –15; Salmo 145:8 – 9, 13 cd – 14, 17–18; Juan 5:17– 30. Jueves, 3 de abril Desconfianza En Cuaresma, escuchamos muchas cosas de Moisés; seguía las instrucciones de Dios y conducía a los hebreos por el desierto. Les acercó los Diez mandamientos, y ellos prometieron fidelidad. Pero hoy escuchamos cómo el pueblo pronto desconfió de Dios para ¡adorar un becerro de oro! Dios los llama necios y ‘cabezas duras’, y se propone castigarlos. Pero Moisés suplica y Dios se calma. ¿Alguna vez ha desconfiado usted de Dios? ¿Qué sucede cuando usted le suplica a Dios? Lecturas del día: Éxodo 32:7–14; Salmo 106:19 – 20, 21– 22, 23; Juan 5:31– 47. Viernes, 4 de abril San Isidoro Nacido hacia el año 560, Isidoro fue educado en la escuela catedralicia de Sevilla, España. Fue un obispo erudito, promotor de la educación y autor de las Etimologías, su obra enciclopédica más conocida. En el evangelio, Jesús responde a quienes dicen conocerlo bien: “A mí me conocen y saben de dónde vengo. Pero yo no vengo por mi cuenta, sino que me envió el que dice la verdad”. ¿A qué piensa usted que fue enviado Jesús? ¿Qué va a hacer Jesús por usted hoy? Lecturas del día: Sabiduría 2:1a, 12 – 22; Salmo 34:17–18, 19 – 20, 21, 23; Juan 7:1– 2, 10, 25 – 30. Sábado, 5 de abril ¡Que reine la justicia! Escuchamos sobre complots contra Jesús. Las autoridades están alarmadas por su popularidad creciente, y hay discusiones sobre quién pueda ser él. Nicodemo defiende a Jesús al citar la ley que señala que nadie debe ser condenado “sin haberlo escuchado antes y saber lo que hizo”. ¿Hemos condenado a alguien sin haberlo escuchado? Obremos con justicia y rectitud. Lecturas del día: Jeremías 11:18–20; Salmo 7:2 –3, 9 bc – 10, 11–12; Juan 7:40 – 53.
