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).

The For Christ Forever Campaign, the first ever diocesan-wide campaign, was launched
in 2013 to fund local parish support, Catholic educa on, diocesan ministries, priests’
re rement, and the renova on of our future Christ Cathedral campus.
Know, Love and Serve, the 2016 Pastoral Services Appeal, funds ten vital diocesan
ministries. Any funds collected by St. Norbert Parish in excess of our diocesan
assessment are returned to us in the form of a rebate. We are currently using these
rebates to pay down our parish debt from the remodel of the Family & Youth Center.
If you have not yet made your pledge to PSA 2016, you can s ll do so. We welcome your
pledge or one- me dona on, in any amount—small or large—to assist these important
fundraising efforts. You can find pledge envelopes in the back of the church (ves bule),
in the Ministry Center, or you can go to our parish website: www.stnorbertchurch.org
and click on the PSA bu on to make your pledge online.
Every Pledge counts, and we are coun ng on EVERYONE to help!

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.

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.

________________________________________________________________________
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.

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. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
