The blind man was willing to let Jesus minister to him and
willingly did all Jesus asked of him. The Pharisees were more resistant to His message, spending their time and energy to disprove the miracle. Which am I more like, the man born blind or
the Pharisees?
Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma
El ciego estaba dispuesto a dejar a que Jesús lo ayudara y de buena voluntad hizo todo lo que Jesús le pidió. Los Fariseos se resistieron más a Su mensaje, desperdiciando su tiempo y energía en
refutar el milagro. ¿A quién me parezco más yo, al hombre que
nació siego o a los Fariseos?

Iniciativa del Obispo de Adultos para del Rito de Confirmación
En el esfuerzo para “abrir las puertas a Cristo” para la gente de nuestra diócesis, el Obispo Kevin Farrell ha extendido el permiso a los párrocos para
confirmar adultos en sus parroquias el día de Pentecostés, el 8 de Junio, 2014. St. Mark the Evangelist a través del Obispo Farrell, les invita a nuestros adultos
católicos practicantes (de 18 años y hayan terminado la prepa) quien les falte el Sacramento de Confirmación, que sean sellados con la plenitud del don del
Espíritu Santo.
Si usted actualmente es miembro registrado en la parroquia de St. Mark the Evangelist y es un adulto practicante Católico en buena posición
y ha recibido los Sacramentos de Bautismo y Eucaristía, le invitamos a registrarse para asistir a unas clases de preparación en los siguientes días:
4/02/2014 miércoles y 4/09/2014 miércoles empezando a las 7:00pm en el McGivney Hall. También se les invita a los padrinos/
madrinas asistir las clases. Por favor de traer sus Biblia con ustedes. La celebración de la Confirmación de Adultos será el día de Pentecostés, 8 de Junio en la Misa de la 1:30 p.m.
