Fifth Sunday
of Lent
Quinto Domingo
de Cuaresma
Ask senior parishioners about this fifth Sunday, and they
will share memories of this Sunday years ago, when it
was known as “Passion Sunday.” In those days, the statues and crucifixes were draped in purple cloth, and a
deeply somber atmosphere infused worship. The structure is different today for good reason. The stunning
changes in the appearance of the church building drew
attention away from the twofold work of
Lent: reconciliation and preparing for initiation. Today, this Sunday is given to reflection
on the necessity to commit, like Jesus, to the
Father’s will. Wherever elect are present today, the “A” reading reveals Jesus’ compassion in the face of human suffering, and his
desire to call us from the tombs of sin, isolation, and even death itself.
As Lent draws to a close over the
next ten days, and before the beginning of the Easter
Triduum on Holy Thursday, we enter an ideal time for
celebrating the sacrament of reconciliation. Today’s old
title of “Passion Sunday” has migrated to next Sunday,
also called “Palm Sunday.” In many places, people prepare their own bundles of branches for next week’s liturgy: pussy willow, forsythia, dogwood. If your parish
schedules a procession, you may want to prepare these
branches at home and bring them along.
Basándose en las palabras de Jesús, Mariano de
Blas, compuso su canto: “Entre tus manos”. Este
hermoso canto nos recuerda que “hay que morir para
vivir”, es decir, que no es nada fácil ser discípulo de
Jesucristo. El mismo Jesús nos pide que nos
neguemos a nosotros mismos (Mateo 16:24); que
carguemos la cruz para seguirlo (Marcos 8:34); que
perdamos nuestra vida por su nombre
(Lucas 9:24). Todo esto porque Jesús
reconoce que el grano de trigo debe morir
para dar vida, para multiplicarse (Juan
12:24).
El canto: “Una espiga dorada por
el sol”, de Cesáreo Gabaráin, nos
recuerda que los cristianos somos trigo
del mismo sembrador. Es Jesús quien nos
siembra, nos cultiva, nos cosecha, nos tritura, nos
amasa, y nos hace un solo pan consagrado a Dios.
Somos granos de trigo que, unidos formamos el pan
de la comunión que es comunidad. Para esto, cada
uno debe morir a sus egoísmos y preferencias. Morir
a sí mismo tiene sentido cristiano, sólo si es para
trabajar unidos y en la misión de Cristo, la cual es
salvación del mundo y construcción del Reino de
Dios.

EDUCATION
NEWS
There will be No classes on
Sunday April 1st and 8th, and
No classes on Tuesday April 3rd
and 10th
Dear Parents,
April 1st is Palm Sunday. On that day we hear
the proclamation of the Gospel of Mark 11:1-10, this
tells of Jesus’ procession into Jerusalem. A beautiful
tradition at Mass is the blessing of the palms that we
will be taking home with us. The palms are symbols
that remind us of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, sacrifice of his life and the glory of His Resurrection. To
make blessed palms’ a special symbol in your
child’s life, help your child put your blessed palms
in a place of honor in your home: perhaps around a
crucifix, for example, or some other religious item.
These kinds of rituals in the home give substance
and roots to your child for years to come.
EASTER PLANT MEMORIALS
Once again we are offering Easter Plant Memorials
for your living and deceased relatives and friends.
Suggested donations are: $20 for a small plant, $25
for a medium plant, and $35 for a large plant.
PRINT CLEARLY, your name, the name of your
loved one to be remembered, and the donation
amount on a plain white envelope marked
“EASTER PLANT.” Drop it into the Sunday collection basket or send it to the Rectory. We will
then place a plant on the altar for Easter in memory
of your loved one. Cut off date April 1, 2012.
Adapted from Catechist March 2012
Hope to see you all on Sunday!

Fifth Sunday of Lent
In the Gospel today, Jesus says “Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant
be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.” When we help the poor we are truly followers of Jesus, servant
of the poor.This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to bring the mercy of Jesus into the hearts of the poor, by assisting
families in out community by providing food and financial help with utility bills.

COUPLES MARRIED 50 YEARS OR MORE
This spring, couples that have been married fifty
years or more will be honored at liturgies on Sunday, April 22 at the Church of Saint Lawrence the
Martyr in Sayville and on Sunday, May 20 at the
Church of Maria Regina in Seaford. Both liturgies
will begin at 2:30pm. Couples may register for
ONE liturgy. Registration forms and complete instructions can be obtained at the rectory during office hours. Registration must be received by the Office of Worship by April 5th for the April liturgy
and by May 3rd for the May liturgy. There will be
additional celebrations in the fall for those who may
find that more convenient. If you have any questions you may call 516-678-5800 ext 207.
[It] is imperative that the
entire Catholic community in
the United States come to
realize the grave threats to
the Church’s public moral
witness presented by a radical secularism which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural
spheres. … Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that
most cherished of American freedoms, the
freedom of religion. Many of you have
pointed out that concerted efforts have
been made to deny the right of conscientious objection on the part of Catholic individuals and institutions with regard to
cooperation in intrinsically evil practices.
Others have spoken to me of a worrying
tendency to reduce religious freedom to
mere freedom of worship without guarantees of respect for freedom of conscience.

Mary Anne Early @ 516-887-2894 to arrange collection.
Thank you for your continued prayerful
and financial support of the Life Center.
Please be assured YOU are making a big
difference in the lives of the many people

Ésta es la cuestión
fundamental que hay
que plantearse:
¿Quién es el hombre? El hombre es un ser que
alberga en su corazón una sed
de infinito, una sed de verdad
–no parcial, sino capaz de explicar el sentido de la vida–
porque ha sido creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios. Así
pues, reconocer con gratitud
la vida como un don inestimable lleva a descubrir la propia
dignidad profunda y la inviolabilidad de toda persona. Por
eso, la primera educación consiste en aprender a reconocer
en el hombre la imagen del
Creador y, por consiguiente, a
tener un profundo respeto por
cada ser humano y ayudar a
los otros a llevar una vida
conforme a esta altísima dignidad.

A Complex Request
Today’s Readings: Jeremiah 31:31–34; Psalm 51:3–4,
12–13, 14–15 (12a); Hebrews 5:7–9; John 12:20–33.
“We wish to see Jesus” (John 12:21)—a simple request but
with many levels of meaning. What motivated the Greeks who
ask Philip this favor? Had they heard of Jesus’ miracles? Were
they interested in his temporal power and eager to be closer to
an influential person?
And what do we want Jesus to do for us? Do we want to
find him in our most ordinary routines and circumstances? Are
we drawn by the power of his love, or by our self-serving concerns, wanting more to be “correct” in this life and rewarded in
the next?
Depending on the seeker’s motivation, Jesus’ response
could be disappointing or compelling. Here, at the beginning of
his Passion he says, “The hour has come.” On prior occasions,
such as Cana, his hour had not yet arrived. Now it is imminent.
Although troubled and even vulnerable, he
will do what he was born to do.
Scholars point out that Jesus’ response to
the request of the Greek-speakers signals his
eventual mission to a world beyond Judaism.
It is also a mission unlike anything the world
has seen, best described in metaphor. When
the grain of wheat falls to the ground, it begins
to disintegrate. Soon it becomes an empty
husk. But from that shell springs new life. It is
not recorded how the Greeks responded to this
puzzling image. More importantly, how do
we?
This Week at Home
Monday, March 26
Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord
Today’s Readings: Isaiah 7:10–14; 8:10;
Psalm 40:7–8, 8–9, 10, 11 (8a, 9a); Hebrews
10:4–10; Luke 1:26–38. To celebrate Gabriel’s announcement
to Mary, read Luke’s account of the Annunciation. Sketch the
scene you imagine or help children in your family act it out.
Pray the Angelus, a prayer drawn from the Gospel account, and
learn its history (www.ourcatholicprayers.com). Fly a kite, the
symbol of the Holy Spirit, or sing a Marian hymn.
Tuesday, March 27
“Who Are You?”
Today’s Readings: Numbers 21:4–9; Psalm 102:2–3, 16–18,
19–21 (2); John 8:21–30. You might well ask Jesus, as in today’s Gospel, “Who are you?” Take time to journal about this
question: Who was Jesus for you when you were a child? A
teenager? A young adult? What about now? How has your idea
of him changed? Conclude with Jesus’ prayer; it is also true for
your relationship with God: “The one who sent me is with me;
he has not left me alone” (John 8:29).
Wednesday, March 28
Seekers—Then and Now
Today’s Readings: Daniel 3:14–20, 91–92, 95; Psalm: Daniel
3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56 (52b); John 8:31–42. In today’s Gospel,
Jesus invites tentative seekers to continue their quest for him,
to “remain in him.” Today, people continue to seek. Some in
your community are preparing for Baptism and are called
“catechumens.” Some, already baptized, are seeking full initiation in the Catholic Church, and are called “candidates.” After
the Rite of Election, around the First Sunday of Lent, catechumens are called “the elect,” because they have been chosen for
a full celebration of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation at
the Easter Vigil. Welcome all seekers to your parish, honoring
their quest.
Thursday, March 29
Firmly Rooted Identity
Today’s Readings: Genesis 17:3–9; Psalm 105:4–5, 6–7, 8–9
(8a); John 8:51–59. Jesus seems rarely disturbed by those who
criticize him, even when they accuse him of having a demon.
We who try to live in union with him should also recognize
that people may criticize our ideas or opinions, but can never
touch our deepest identity in Christ. So we may be unpopular
for life advocacy, for solving problems through peaceful, nonviolent means, or for being good stewards of Creation. But no
amount of criticism can disrupt our deep intimacy with God.
Friday, March 30
Planning Next Week
Today’s Readings: Jeremiah 20:10–13; Psalm
18:2–3a, 3bc–4, 5–6, 7 (see 7); John 10:31–
42. The tension is escalating in the Gospel, as
Jesus’ enemies attempt to stone him, accuse
him of blasphemy, and arrest him. Jesus
pleads with them to share in his divinity and
recognize his good works. Some believe, but
others resist. How will you spend Holy Week?
How would an outside observer know that this
is the most special week of your year? Could
you set aside extra time for silence, adoration,
spiritual reading, and liturgies?
Saturday, March 31
Nearing the End
Today’s Readings: Ezekiel 37:21–28; Responsorial Psalm:
Jeremiah 31:10, 11–12abcd, 13 (see 10d); John 11:45–56. We
learn in today’s Gospel that in the final days of his life, Jesus
retreats from the public with his disciples. What happened
then? Did Jesus struggle with the brutal betrayal and pain that
lay ahead? Did his disciples try to deter him from the inevitable
end? Did they continue to nurse their hopes that he would overthrow the Roman occupation? If you had been there then, what
would you have done? Conclude your reflection on these questions by praying today’s Psalm from Jeremiah. What comfort
does it offer on the threshold of Holy Week?

envió está conmigo y no me deja solo, porque yo hago siempre
lo que le agrada”.
Domingo 25 de marzo de 2012
Una petición complicada
Lecturas del día: Jeremías 31:31–34; Salmo 51:3–4, 12–
13, 14–15 (12a); Hebreos 5:7–9; Juan 12:20–33. “Señor
queremos ver a Jesús” (Juan 12:21); una petición muy sencilla
pero con muchas implicaciones. ¿Qué motivó a los griegos a
pedir a Felipe este favor? ¿Habrían escuchado de los milagros
de Jesús? ¿Estarían interesados en su poder temporal y
dispuesto a estar cerca a una persona de influencia?
Y, ¿qué queremos que Jesús haga por nosotros?
¿Queremos encontrarlo en las cosas y circunstancias más
ordinarias de nuestra vida? ¿Nos mueve el poder de su amor o
nuestro instinto de preservarnos haciendo lo “correcto” en esta
vida y ser recompensados en la próxima?
Dependiendo de la motivación de quien busca, la respuesta
de Jesús puede ser desalentadora o convincente. Al
principio de su pasión dice: “ha llegado la hora”. En ocasiones
anteriores, como Caná, su hora no había llegado. Ahora es
inminente. Aunque perturbado y aún
vulnerable, hará lo que necesita hacer y
cumplirá la misión para la cual nació.
Los expertos en la Biblia dicen que la
respuesta de Jesús a las interrogantes de los
indagadores griegos es una indicación de su
misión eventual a un mundo más allá del
judaísmo. Es también una misión que el
mundo nunca había visto antes. Se describe
aún mejor con una comparación muy sencilla
y profunda. Cuando el grano de trigo cae a la
tierra, empieza a desintegrase. Rápidamente se
convierte en un recipiente vacío. Pero de la
cáscara emerge vida nueva. No se sabe cómo
respondieron los contemporáneos de Jesús a
esta comparación. No obstante, lo más
importante es reconocer de qué manera
estamos respondiendo nosotros mismos.
Esta semana en el hogar
Lunes 26 de marzo
Solemnidad de la Anunciación del Señor
Lecturas del día: Isaías 7:10–14; 8:10; Salmo 115:1–2, 3–4,
15–16 (1ab); Hebreos 10:4–10; Lucas 1:26–38. Para celebrar el
anuncio de Gabriel a María, lea el relato de la Anunciación de
Lucas. Dibuje la escena que imagina o dramatícela con niños;
rece el Angelus, una oración basada en el relato del Evangelio
y aprenda su historia en (www.ourcatholicprayers.com). Vuele
un cometa, símbolo del Espíritu Santo o entone un himno
mariano.
Martes 27 de marzo
¿Quién eres?
Lecturas del día: Números 21:4–9; Salmo 145:10–11, 12–13ab,
21 (Aleluya); Juan 8:21–30. Como en el Evangelio de hoy,
usted puede preguntarle a Jesús: “¿Quién eres?” Escriba acerca
de esta pregunta: ¿quién fue Jesús para usted en su niñez? ¿En
su adolescencia? ¿De joven adulto? ¿Qué tal ahora? ¿Cómo ha
cambiado su idea de Él? Concluya con la oración de Jesús, ya
que es también cierto de su relación con Dios: “el que me
Miércoles 28 de marzo
Aquellos que buscan, entonces y ahora
Lecturas del día: Daniel 3:14–20, 91–92, 95; Salmo 122:1–2,
3–4ab, 4cd–5 (Aleluya); Juan 8:31–42. En el Evangelio de hoy,
Jesús invita a aquellos que buscan tentativamente a que
continúen su búsqueda de Él, a ‘permanecer en Él’. Hoy día, la
gente sigue buscando. Algunos se preparan para el bautizo y se
les llama “catecúmenos”. Algunos ya están bautizados, pero
quieren iniciarse plenamente en la Iglesia Católica, y se les
llama “candidatos”. Después del Rito de Elección, celebrado
Primer Domingo de Cuaresma, los catecúmenos son llamados
“elegidos,” porque han sido escogidos para la celebración del
Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía en la Vigilia
Pascual. Dé la bienvenida a quienes buscan en su parroquia,
honrando su búsqueda.
Jueves 29 de marzo
Identidad firmemente enraizada
Lecturas del día: Génesis 17:3–9; Salmo 96:1–2a, 2b–3, 10 (3);
Juan 8:51–59. Jesús raramente se perturba
cuando lo critican, aún cuando es acusado de
estar endemoniado. Nosotros también
debemos reconocer que la gente puede criticar
nuestras ideas y opiniones, pero no pueden
tocar nuestra identidad más profunda en
Cristo. Puede que no seamos populares al
defender la vida, al resolver problemas
pacíficamente o al ser buenos administradores
de la creación, pero no habrá crítica que
rompa nuestra profunda intimidad con Dios.
Viernes 30 de marzo
Planeando la próxima semana
Lecturas del día: Jeremías 20:10–13; Salmo
57:8–9, 10, 12 (10a); Juan 10:31–42. La
tensión escala en el Evangelio a medida que
los enemigos de Jesús tratan de apedrearlo,
acusarlo de blasfemia y arrestarlo. Jesús les
ruega que compartan su divinidad y reconozcan sus buenas
obras. Algunos creen, otros se resisten. ¿Cómo podría un
observador saber que ésta es la semana más importante de su
año? ¿Podría dedicar más tiempo al silencio, la adoración,
lectura espiritual y participación litúrgica?
Sábado 31 de marzo
El final se acerca
Lecturas del día: Ezequiel 37:21–28; Salmo 100:1b–2, 3, 5
(2a); Juan 11:45–56. En el Evangelio de hoy nos damos cuenta
que en los últimos días de su vida, Jesús se aleja de la gente
con sus discípulos. ¿Qué pasó entonces? ¿Realmente tuvo
Jesús dificultad con la traición y dolor que le esperaba?
¿Trataron sus discípulos de convencerlo de que buscara un
final diferente? ¿Continuaron con sus esperanzas de que
derrocara la ocupación romana? Usted, qué hubiera hecho?

TODAY’S READINGS - LECTURAS DE HOY
THE NEW COVENANT
Today’s first reading is an enormously important
passage, not only in the history of the Jewish people, but
also for us as disciples of Jesus, who see in it a foreshadowing of the Christian dispensation. The prophet
announces that God has chosen to forgive the
people, and that as a sign of divine forgiveness a
new covenant will be established. Contrasting
the new covenant with the one made with Moses
on Mount Sinai, Jeremiah says that the new
covenant will be written on the people’s hearts
rather than on tablets of stone. No longer will
the community’s tradition be the sole bearer of
the covenant; henceforth, God will speak directly and personally to each individual, forgiving sin and
calling for a return to God in faithfulness. No longer will
mere outward compliance with the dictates of the Law suffice; henceforth, God asks for an obedience that springs
from the depths of one’s heart.
Precisely that kind of obedience is highlighted in
today’s second reading, where the author of the Letter to
the Hebrews describes Jesus as the mediator of the new
covenant whose obedience has made him the source of
salvation for all who, in turn, obey him.

EL NUEVO PACTO
La primera lectura de hoy es un paso muy
importante, en la historia del pueblo judío y también para
nosotros como discípulos de Jesús que ven en ella un
anuncio de la dispensación cristiana. El profeta
anuncia que Dios ha escogido perdonar al
pueblo, y que como un signo del perdón divino
se establecerá una nueva alianza. Contrastando
la nueva alianza con la que Dios hizo con
Moisés en el Monte Sinaí, Jeremías dice que el
nuevo pacto será inscrito en el corazón del
pueblo y no en tablas de piedra. Ya no será la
tradición de la comunidad la única portadora de
la alianza; a partir de ahora, Dios hablará
directa y personalmente a cada individuo,
perdonando el pecado y pidiendo un retorno a Él en
fidelidad. Ya no bastará el mero cumplimiento de los
dictados externos de la ley; a partir de ahora, Dios pide una
obediencia que brota de lo más profundo de nuestro
corazón.
Precisamente ese tipo de obediencia se destaca en
la segunda lectura de hoy, donde el autor de la Carta a los
Hebreos describe a Jesús como el mediador del nuevo
pacto, cuya obediencia ha hecho de él la fuente de
salvación para todos los que, a su vez, le obedecen.
