NORBERT CATHOLIC CHURCH | WWW.STNORBERTCHURCH.ORG 2 Stewardship Second Sunday of Lent Great News! Jubilee Year of Mercy We are making progress! As of February 12, 2016, our parish loan balance is $160,678. Thanks to your generous support, we’re making progress on TWO major fundraising drives! Many icons depic ng Jesus’ transfigura on bear the Greek tle Metamorphosis, a technical term also for nature’s spring me transforma on. Fi ngly, this Jubilee Year of Mercy coincides with the Lec onary’s Year of Luke, for only Luke specifies Moses and Elijah speaking about Jesus’ “exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem” (Luke 9:31). Israel’s exodus liberated from slavery; Jesus’ exodus liberates from sin’s living death of selfishness. Pope Francis suggests that Lent’s prayer, fas ng, and works of charity can transfigure the world, if Chris ans translate Isaiah’s challenge into our daily lived experience of Jesus’ lifegiving exodus by releasing those bound unjustly, se ng free the oppressed, sharing your bread with the hungry, bringing the afflicted and homeless into your house, clothing the naked, not turning your back on your own. “If you remove from your midst oppression, and malicious speech . . . then light shall rise for you in the darkness . . . you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails” (Isaiah 58:9, 10, 11). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Hosted by St. Norbert Catholic School Junior High students. Quote of the Month from Pope Francis' General Audience on February 3, 2016 The Sacred Scriptures present God as infinite mercy, but also as perfect jus ce. When we think of jus ce, we think of its legal administra on, which seeks retribu on and exacts a penalty. Such legal jus ce does not conquer evil, but simply stems its de. The Bible presents true jus ce as a process which avoids a tribunal. It foresees the offended person going directly to the guilty party to invite them to conversion, by helping them to see the evil they have done, and by appealing to their conscience. In this way, the guilty person is able to see their wrong and be open to the forgiveness offered. This is how families forgive, how spouses and children show their love. This is not always easy, however; it requires that we be ready to forgive and desire always the salva on of those who offend us. This is God's jus ce. He does not seek our condemna on, but our salva on. By making us see the wrong we have done, the Father helps us to recognize our need for his mercy revealed in Jesus Christ. God's jus ce is his mercy. As God's children, may we be open to his divine mercy, and readily and generously share it with our brothers and sisters. ST.

Next week we begin the celebra on of the Scru nies for those adults and older children who are preparing for Bap sm at the Easter Vigil.

The Scru nies are prayers of exorcism asking God to dispel all evil and powers of darkness from the Elect and to fill them with light. It is also an invita on to those about to be bap zed to look deeply into their own hearts to discern where conversion is s ll needed. This week’s session on Thursday, February 25, for the Elect will focus on prepara on for the scru ny rite, based on the Story from John’s Gospel of the Woman at the Well. ________________________________________________________________________ Lenten Reflection Series Beginning this Wednesday, February 24, we will have a 3week series called Priest, Prophet, King, based on the video presenta ons of Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, Robert Barron.

Join us on Wednesday evenings during the heart of Lent to deepen our knowledge of Jesus through these presenta ons and group discussion. We will meet in the Ministry Center Library from 7:30 to 9 p.m. For those who wish, a workbook with addi onal reading and study ques ons will be available for $20.00. The series can also be beneficial without the workbook. ________________________________________________________________________ What was happening in the Fifth Century? Our English word “Pope” comes from Papa, which means father. Most Bishops in the first centuries of the church were called Papa. By the fourth century it came to be applied primarily to the five Patriarchs, the Bishops of Rome, Constan nople, An och, Alexandria, and An och. These bishops were considered equals. Among other things, one role of these Patriarchs was to se le theological disputes between bishops within their area. So, if two Bishops in North Africa, for instance, disagreed about the Nature of Christ, they would look for clarifica on to the Patriarch of Alexandria. When the Patriarch could not resolve an issue, the ques on generally was presented to a Council of the Church either made up of local bishops or an Ecumenical Council to which all bishops in the Church were invited to par cipate. The councils of Nicaea, Constan nople and Ephesus which have previously been discussed are examples of this process. In the middle of the fi h century, Pope Leo began to place primacy of authority in the Office of the Patriarch of Rome. He based this on scriptural and historical evidence. The Roman bishop was in direct succession from St. Peter, who had been Rome’s first bishop. And, in the Gospels, Peter had been given primacy among the Apostles directly by Christ. In Ma hew’s Gospel , Jesus says to Peter “upon this rock, I will build my church…whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” The name “Peter” means “rock.”John’s Gospel relates a post-resurrec on experience in which Jesus says to Simon Peter, “feed my lambs…tend my sheep…feed my sheep.” Both of these passages were understood to bestow the leadership of the church upon Peter a er Jesus ascends into Heaven. The “feed and tend my sheep” refers to pastoral care of the church, the authority to “bind and to loose” refers to governance. Pope Leo understood this authority given by Jesus as passing from Peter to his direct successors in the Office of the Patriarch of Rome. All the Patriarchs, indeed all the bishops, were direct successors to the Apostles, through the laying on of hands, but only the Bishop of Rome inherited the unique role of Peter. The other four Patriarchs did not necessarily agree with Leo on this point; however from this me, the Church in Rome began to take on more authority, at least in the Western Churches, in ma er of doctrine, morals, and governance. The Eastern and North African Churches tended to con nue to believe that the Patriarchs were equals. In an a empt to se le this dispute, Leo appealed to the Emperor, Valen nius III, who issued a decree on June 6, 445 which recognized the primacy of the Bishop of Rome based on its rela onship to the Apostle Peter. The issue was not to be se led so easily, however, and would centuries later be one of the primary causes of the schism between the Eastern and Western Churches which s ll exists today. Like his predecessors, Pope Leo ba led various heresies in the Church and it was his document on the dual natures of Christ in One Person, referred to as the Tome of Leo, which defined the Christological issues at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. At the reading of this Tome, most of the Western and Eastern Church Fathers shouted in agreement “Peter has spoken through Leo,” thus affirming the doctrine. However this defini on of the nature and person of Christ was not accepted by the Oriental Churches, including the Cop c, Ethiopian, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac, Eritrean, and Malankara (Indian) Churches which rejected the Council of Chalcedon and entered into schism (separa on) from the Western and Eastern Churches who accepted the teaching of the Council. Leo had many important theological and poli cal victories. One of the more interes ng of the poli cal ones, is his mee ng with A la the Hun who was on the verge of invading Rome, but under persuasion from Pope Leo, abandoned his plan of a ack and retreated. Leo was the first Pope to whom has been a ributed the tle “The Great.” And, so, the history of the Church con nues. LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA DE SAN NORBERTO | WWW.STNORBERTCHURCH.ORG 6 Ministerio Hispano Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Muchos iconos con la imagen de la transfiguración de Jesús enen un tulo en griego que dice Metamorphosis, una palabra técnica que también se refiere a la transformación natural de la primavera. Casualmente, este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia coincide con el Año C en el que los domingos se lee el Evangelio de Lucas, además solamente Lucas menciona que Moisés y Elías “hablaban del éxodo de Jesús, que él estaba a punto de cumplir en Jerusalén” (Lucas 9:31). El éxodo de Israel liberó de la esclavitud; el éxodo de Jesús libera de la muerte en vida del pecado del egoísmo. El Papa Francisco sugiere que en esta Cuaresma la oración, el ayuno y las obras de caridad pueden transformar al mundo, si los cris anos en la vida diaria interpretaran el desa o de Isaías de experimentar de Jesús el éxodo que da vida al liberar a los presos injustamente, dando libertad a los cau vos, compar endo el pan con los hambrientos, ofreciendo un techo a los desamparados y afligidos, vis endo al desnudo, no dándoles la espalda a los más necesitados. “Si quitas de en medio de el yugo, el amenazar con el dedo y el hablar iniquidad, y si te ofreces al hambriento, y sacias el deseo del afligido, entonces surgirá tu luz en las nieblas, y tu oscuridad será como el mediodía. Y el Señor te guiará con nuamente, saciará tu deseo en los lugares áridos y dará vigor a tus huesos; serás como huerto regado y como manan al cuyas aguas nunca faltan” (Isaías 58:9, 10, 11). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.
