MARCH 30, 2014
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s first reading from the Book of Exodus, we hear of
the hardships endured by the people of Israel on their wilderness journey out of Egypt. The wilderness is a demanding place
for human life. Just trying to survive can seriously test our
faith. In the Israelites’ journey away from a life of slavery and
oppression, harsh conditions challenged their trust in the God
who liberated them. But their transition brings them closer to
God, and they are constantly reminded of the Lord’s gracious
provision and nurturing. Good stewards believe the Lord’s
presence transforms their own “wilderness” experiences into a
place of divine mercy and nourishment. Reflect on your own
“wilderness” experiences. How has God been present for you
and nourished you in times of transition?

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Saint Vincent’s Corner
In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives sight to the blind man. Through grace we are also transformed from not seeing, to
seeing and then Jesus sends us to help others see and to believe.
Through your almsgiving, you are giving signs of grace to others; far greater than you think. Know that
your nickel, dime or quarter is multiplied by the coins placed in the St. Vincent de Paul collection.
For more information about Saint Vincent de Paul, please visit www.svdprr.org.
Words of Life
When we see a neighbor who is created to the image and likeness of God, ought we not to say: Observe and
see this creature, how he resembles the Creator? Should we not weep over him with love and bless him a
thousand times? And why? For the love of him? No, for we know not whether he be worthy in himself; but why
then? For the love of God who has made him to his own image and likeness, and consequently capable of
participating in his goodness, in grace and in glory. The supreme love of the divine goodness of the heavenly
Father consists in the perfection of the love of our brothers and companions. ~ Saint Francis de Sales (t 1622)

conference (for teens grades 7-12), sponsored by the Diocesan of Austin—Office of Pro-Life and
Chaste Living, is on April 4, 6:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. at San Jose Church, 2435 Oak Crest Ave., Austin,

event, go to www.thrivetexas.org or call (512) 949-2486.
On this Sunday, we invite God to cure our
blindness and our tendency to see only the
appearance of things and people. Sin blinds us
and we need to be freed from sin in order to see
as God sees and live as God wills. Is there a
person or situation in our life that we need to
see differently? What new sight or what new
insight is God wishing us to see? How is God
working to heal blindness in us?
Hobby Lobby Challenges HHS “Contraceptive Mandate”
Hobby Lobby is challenging the legality of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) regulation that forces virtually all employers to include in their employee health plans
coverage of sterilization, contraceptives, and drugs and devices that may cause abortions, as well
as related education and counseling. As the US Conference of Catholic Bishops explained in its
amicus brief, it opposes "any rule that would require faithful Catholics and other religiously
motivated business owners to choose between providing coverage for products and speech that
violate their religious beliefs, and exposing their businesses to devastating penalties. These
penalties include "potentially fatal fines" of $100 a day per affected individual.
Este domingo, invitamos a Dios a curar nuestra
ceguera y nuestra tendencia a ver solo la
apariencia de las cosas y las personas. El
pecado nos ciega y necesitamos ser liberados
del pecado para poder ver tal como Dios nos ve
a nosotros y vivir como Dios desea que
vivamos ¿Hay alguna persona o situación en
nuestra vida que necesitamos ver de manera
distinta? ¿Qué nueva visión o que nueva
perspectiva Dios desea que veamos? ¿Cómo
trabaja Dios para curar la ceguera en nosotros?
Prayers—Please pray for wisdom for the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court who heard oral
arguments for the landmark case of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores on March 25
(the Feast Day of the Annunciation). To learn more about the mandate, go to the USCCB’s—HHS
Mandate Fact Sheets and Statements located at:
www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/hhs-mandate/hhs-mandate-fact-sheets-andstatements.cfm
Prayer Request
Please pray for mercy, healing, forgiveness and peace for the convicted killers, their victims, and
the families.
