A MESSAGE FROM
Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
“Seeing Ourselves as God Sees Us.”
The Blind Man said to them,
“He put clay on my eyes, and I washed,
and now I can see.”
The Sunday Stories of Lent from
The Temptation of Jesus (1st Lent),
The Transfiguration (2nd),
The Woman at the Well (3rd), now the
reveals the justice of God manifested in Compas-
sion, Courage, and the Commitment of Jesus in ful-
filling God’s will, framed as an example of what it
means, and how we can live our lives today.
Through these stories of Jesus, we accompany our
brethren who are preparing themselves to receive
the sacraments of the church, not just for the sake
of completing the rite and traditional practices, but
to “be with them” in deepening their understand-
ing of their spiritual, sacramental, and personal en-
counter with Jesus who also accompanies us in our
journey of faith as we prepare to commemorate the
Life, Death, and resurrection of Jesus.
These stories may be our own stories of Tempta-
tion, Glory, Conversion, Healing, and Resurrec-
tion. How we witness, is how we proclaim our
faith. After all, Baptism makes us one in Hope
and Dignity in Christ.
Fr. David Vivero
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
El ciego les dijo:
"Me puso barro en los ojos, y me
lavé, y ahora puedo ver".
Las historias dominicales de la Cuaresma desde
La tentación de Jesús (1ra Cuaresma),
La Transfiguración (2da),
La mujer en el pozo (3ra),y ahora
La curación del hombre nacido ciego(4ta)
y finalmente, La Resurrección de Lázaro (5ta) la próxi-
ma semana,
se revela la justicia que Dios manifestada en la Com-
pasión, el Valor y el Compromiso de Jesús al cumplir la
voluntad de Dios, dándonos como un ejemplo de lo que
significa y de como hoy podemos vivir nuestras vidas.
A través de estas historias de Jesús, acompañamos a
nuestros hermanos que se están preparando para reci-
bir los sacramentos de la iglesia, no sólo para completar
el rito y las prácticas tradicionales, sino para "estar con
ellos" profundizando la comprensión de su espirituali-
dad, encuentro sacramental y personal con Jesús, quien
también nos acompaña en nuestro viaje de fe mientras
nos preparamos para conmemorar la Vida, Muerte y
Resurrección de Jesús.
Estas historias pueden ser nuestras propias historias de
Tentación, Gloria, Conversión, Sanación y Resurrec-
ción. Como testificamos, es como proclamamos nuestra
fe. Después de todo, el bautismo nos hace uno en Es-
peranza y Dignidad en Cristo.

Gospel Meditation
For Your Day
Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
Jesus wants to motivate each one of us to
see the truth. After developing a relation-
ship with Jesus, the blind man “sees” as
someone very special. The Pharisees, due
to the blindness caused by their ignorance,
prejudice, and need for self-preservation,
still remain blind. Presuppositions, preju-
dices, assumptions, and our needs can
easily blind us to truth. We see what we
want or need to see and not what is really
there. In addition, our stubbornness con-
tinues to convince us that we are right and
that our vision is perfect. Only God can
complete the picture.
Look around at our world. So much of
what is happening today is due to the
reluctance of folks to allow themselves to
be stretched and brought to see what is
really there. Many react to what life pre-
sents to them more with the lenses of igno-
rance than lenses of clarity. The Gospel
carries great transformative value. With it,
God corrects our vision and replaces our
limited sight with the fullness of his sight.
God opens our eyes so that we can see that
it is not about preserving what we have
created but of living in the immensity and
wonder of God’s kingdom.
Through a simple,
loving relationship
with God, we can
break through the teth-
ers of prejudice, eradi-
cate fear, dispel the
darkness of hatred and
sin, discover freedom,
live in peace, work for
justice, be effective
stewards of creation,
assist the migrant and
the immigrant, and
We Serve...
The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) can be
stressful for people, and bring about fear and
worry. However, as the Bible tells us "Those who
sow in tears will reap with songs of joy." - Psalm 126:5 This passage is telling us that if we
help others when in difficult circumstances, we
will receive joy and fruit from the seed we plant.
Taking care of yourself, your friends, and your
family can help you cope with stress. Helping
others cope with their stress can also make your
community stronger. Below, are a few ideas for
how we can all do a some things to help others,
while also helping ourselves.
The elderly may not be able to get out as often,
or at all due to the high risk to their health. All
across the country neighbors are stepping up to
help out.
Focusing efforts on our local communities feels
more important than ever right now.
All Are Welcome Here If you are alienated or
upset, we welcome
you lovingly. If you are in need of
forgiveness, Jesus forgives you
completely—with unconditional
love. If you have been hurt by the
Church, we are truly sorry. If you
are angry, Jesus offers you peace. If
life has become burdensome, we are
here to support you. We are happy
you are here and want you to stay.
We would like to share our lives
with you. Come join us each week
so we can worship God together.
All Souls Loves Visitors! We accept anyone who wants to
share in the life of the parish
regardless of where they live.

your wish to share in the

WELCOME
safeguard our economic systems and poli-
cies so that they truly serve all of God’s
children. What we see is often an artificial
lie. Our truth is much bigger than what
our limited sight believes it to be. Allow
God to work in and through you. Do not
be afraid. Be open and be humble enough
to know that you need help. Many human
beings are living with severe cataracts
that produce sight that is at best blurred.

Covid-19 Acción Parroquial
Estimados feligreses de All Souls,
Los tiempos preocupantes que todos estamos experimentando debido al Coronavirus, han provocado algunos cambios necesarios a eventos y reun-iones planificadas. Su parroquia y pastor tienen su bienestar físico y espir-itual siendo lo más importante en mente y corazón. Por lo tanto, en-focaremos nuestros esfuerzos en llevar a cabo en el fin de semana los ser-vicios por el mayor tiempo posible, porque en Misa nos apoyamos mutua-mente sólo por nuestra simple presencia en estos tiempos inciertos, incluso cuando estamos todos más separados. Es en la presencia de Cristo que nosotros recordamos que debemos cuidarnos unos a otros y, al hacerlo, atender nuestras propias necesidades mentales y espirituales.
Por precaución, estamos tomando los siguientes pasos para continuar con nuestro esfuerzos preventivos de la nación, que están diseñados para ayudar a protegerlos.
Adoración
• Las Misas de fin de semana continuarán según lo programado el mayor tiempo posible. Las actualizaciones serán publicadas pun-tualmente.
• Las transmisiones en vivo de las misas de las 9:30 a.m. (inglés) y las 12:30 p.m. (español) estarán disponibles en sitio Web, como un ser-vicio para aquellos que están confinados en su hogar, enfermos o que no pueden asistir a misa. www.allsoulssanford.org
• Los siguientes están escusados de la obligación de asistir a misa:
Fieles en riesgo por una razón en particular o de edad o condiciones de salud existentes.
Fieles que están enfermos o experimentan síntomas de enfermedad.
• Invitamos a los fieles a recibir reverentemente la Eucaristía en sus manos. El recibir la Preciosa Sangre será suspendido indefinidamente. Estos protocolos están motivados por el cuidado y la preocupación por la salud de nuestra gente, especialmente aquellos que son más vulnerables.
• Nuestra Iglesia está siendo constantemente y completamente desin-fectada. Se pide a los feligreses que observen la hygiene, la regla de eti-queta y el distanciamiento social, según lo prescrito por los funcionarios de salud.
Eventos / Actividades
Para enfocarnos en lo que es más importante, todos los eventos y activid-ades parroquiales que involucren asistencia física serán suspendidos a partir del miércoles 18/03/20 (except las misas) hasta que haya pasado la crisis del Coronavirus.
Administración Parroquial
La oficina parroquial permanecerá abierta de 9:00 am a 4:00 pm (lunes a viernes), hasta nuevo aviso. Se le ha dicho al personal de suspender todas las citas en persona no esenciales hasta nuevo aviso.

PARISH & MINISTRY
Covid-19 Parish Response Dear All Souls Parishioners,
The uncertain times we are all experiencing, due to the Coronavirus, has
prompted some necessary changes to planned events and gatherings.
Your Parish and Pastor have your physical and spiritual well-being fore-
most in mind and heart. Therefore, we will be focusing our efforts on
conducting weekend services for as long as possible, because at Mass we
support each other just by our simple presence in these uncertain times,
even when we are all standing farther apart. It is in the presence of Christ
that we are reminded to care for each other, and in so doing, tending to
our own mental and spiritual needs.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are taking the following steps in or-
der to follow through with our nation’s preventative efforts, which are
designed to help protect you.
Worship
• Weekend Masses will continue as scheduled, as long as possible. Up-
dates will be promptly posted.
Live stream broadcasts of the 9:30AM (Eng) and 12:30PM (Spn) Masses
will be available on the Website, as a service for those who are home-
bound, ill, or cannot otherwise attend Mass. www.allsoulssanford.org
• The following are excused from the obligation to attend Mass:
Faithful at particular risk by reason of age or existing health conditions.
Faithful who are sick, or experiencing symptoms of sickness.
• We invite the faithful to reverently receive the Eucharist in their hands.
Receiving the Precious Blood will be suspended indefinitely. These
protocols are motivated by care and concern for the health of our peo-
ple, especially those who are most vulnerable.
• Our Church is being constantly and thoroughly sanitized. Parishioners
are asked to observe hygiene etiquette, and social distancing, as pre-
scribed by health officials.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will be suspended effective March
18th. The Adoration Chapel will be closed during this time as well.
Events/Activities
To focus on what is most important, all Parish events and activities in-
volving physical attendance, will be suspended as of Wednesday, 3/18/20
(except Masses) until the Coronavirus crises has passed.
Parish Administration
The Parish office will remain open from 9am to 4pm (M-F), until further
notice. The staff has been asked to suspend all non-essential, in-person
appointments until further notice.
Communications
For ongoing updates and critical information from your Parish, we ask
that you do just two things...
1. Stay in touch through email and/or text by signing up for our Parish
Flocknote service
2. Check our Parish website and/or Facebook page regularly (See information on next page for how to sign up or find these services)
No one can know the actual duration or extent of this trying period, ex-
cept our heavenly Father. It is in His hands that we must place ourselves
and trust in His care and love for us. Please join us in offering up a prayer,
especially for all those who have already had their health or well-being
impacted by the virus. (see next page)

A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’
pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede
for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those
charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to
conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen. Under thy protection we seek
refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver
us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen. Adapted from the prayer of Pope Francis
UNA ORACIÓN POR LA PROTECCIÓN EN TIEMPO DE PANDEMIA
Oh María, siempre alegras nuestro camino como señal de salvación y de esperan-
za. Nos encomendamos a usted, Salud del Enfermo, quien, en la Cruz, participó
en el dolor de Jesús mientras permaneció firme en la fe. Oh Madre amorosa, sabes
qué necesitamos, y estamos seguros de que nos proveerá como en Cana en Galilea.
Intercede por nosotros con tu Hijo Jesús, el Médico Divino, para los que han caído
enfermos, para los que son vulnerables y para los que han muerto. Interceda
también para aquellos encargados de proteger la salud y la seguridad de los demás
y para aquellos que atienden a los enfermos y buscando una cura. Ayúdanos, Oh
Madre del Amor Divino, a conformarnos a la voluntad del Padre y a hacer lo que
nos ordena Jesús, quien tomó sobre sí nuestros sufrimientos y llevó nuestras
penas, para llevarnos, a través de la Cruz, a la gloria de la Resurrección. Amén.
Bajo su protección buscamos refugio, oh Santa Madre de Dios. En nuestras nece-
sidades, desecha no nuestras peticiones, sino líbranos siempre de todos los
peligros, oh Virgen gloriosa y bendita. Amén. Esta es una oración adaptada del Papa Francis

Our Lenten Journey All Souls Catholic School students and staff began their Lenten jour-
ney as a community on Ash Wednesday. At that time, the alleluia
was symbolically put away in accordance with the lenten season, and will
be brought out again at the resurrection of Jesus. We were reminded that
Lent is a time to remember the sacrifices made for us, and to give up not only
some “thing”, but the heavier things we carry such as prejudice, judgement
and hate. We take these 40 days to ask God to help us replace these types of
burdens with grace, mercy, love, compassion and kindness. Our school com-
munity prays for our parishioners also, that we all may grow closer to God
during this Lenten journey.

And The Bible Says...
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" He answered and said, “Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him and the one speaking with you is he.” He
said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him. - Jn 9:35-38
Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD.
Supo Jesús que lo habían echado fuera, y cuando lo encontró, le
dijo: “¿Crees tú en el Hijo del hombre?” El contestó: “¿Y quién es,
Señor, para que yo crea en él?” Jesús le dijo: “Ya lo has visto; el que
está hablando contigo, ése es”. El dijo: “Creo, Señor”. Y
postrándose, lo adoró. - Jn 9, 35-38
Leccionario I © 1976 Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano.
L azarus, the friend of Jesus, the brother of Martha and
Mary, was the one of whom the Jews said, “See how
much he loved him.” In their sight, Jesus raised his friend
Lazarus from the dead.
Legends abound about the life of Lazarus after the death and
resurrection of Jesus. He is supposed to have left a written ac-
count of what he saw in the next world before he was called back
to life. Some say he followed Peter into Syria. Another story is
that despite being put into a leaking boat by the Jews at Jaffa, he,
his sisters, and others landed safely in Cyprus. There he died
peacefully after serving as bishop for 30 years.
A church was built in his honor in Constantinople and some of
his reputed relics were transferred there in 890. A Western leg-
end has the oarless boat arriving in Gaul. There he was bishop of
Marseilles, was martyred after making a number of converts, and
was buried in a cave. His relics were transferred to the new ca-
thedral in Autun in 1146.
It is certain there was early devotion to the saint. Around the
year 390, the pilgrim lady Etheria talks of the procession that
took place on the Saturday before Palm Sunday at the tomb
where Lazarus had been raised from the dead. In the West, Pas-
sion Sunday was called Dominica de Lazaro, and Augustine tells
us that in Africa the Gospel of the raising of Lazarus was read at
the office of Palm Sunday.
Sacraments
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) embrac-
es Isabella Weyh and Haylie Wisniewski, catechumens to
the “elect” of the Catholic faith. On Sunday March 1st dur-
ing the 11:00AM Mass Father David recognized these two
young ladies in the Rite of Sending to Our Lady of the Uni-
verse Basilica in Orlando. Isabella and Haylie signed the
Book of Elect which was then presented to Bishop Noonan
at the Rite of the Elect later that afternoon. Please pray for
Isabella and Haylie as they continue preparing to be fully
initiated Catholics during the Easter Vigil Mass here at All
Souls. God bless you Izzy and Haylie!
