    (March 3, 2013)

    Third Sunday of Lent

    Living Faith in March: Luke 13:1-9

    Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.(Exodus 3:5)

    Do we recognize that all that God has given us is holy? Do we compartmentalize our lives and welcome God into some areas and shut the

    door on God in other areas?

    Where in your life do you need to open the door to recognize that God is welcome inevery part of your life and make every part of your life holy?

    (Insert Graphic 2404-0062.tif) Coffee and Donuts will be served today Sunday, March 3 in the school

    cafeteria. Stop on over following Mass and enjoy a treat before heading home to your busy day.

    324 Holy Hours were kept with Our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration last week. "Love cannot

    triumph unless it becomes the one passion of our life. Without such passion we may produce

    isolated acts of love; but our life is not really won over or consecrated to an ideal. Until we

    have a passionate love for our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament we shall accomplish nothing."

    (Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta) Do you have a passionate love for Jesus? If so, please consider

    making a holy hour on a regular basis, start by contacting Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926.

    It is not too late to attend Fr. Robert Barrons SEVEN DEADLY SINS, SEVEN LIVELYVIRTUES on Tuesdays from 7-8:30 pm in the school cafeteria. Remaining sessions are

    March 12 and 19. Each session stands on its own.

    EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE: Have I been cold to another or turned away when someone

    needed me? Have I remained stubborn like a rock when I should have compromised? When have I beentoo hard on someone who failed to meet my expectations? When have I let darkness put out the light of

    Christ in my life? What are some of the rough edges in my life that keep me from being the best I can be?What are some of the things I need to unload before I can be free of the heaviness in my heart? How haveI built walls between myself and God? What do I need to do to change my heart of stone into a heart offlesh?

    LENT COMMUNAL RECONCILIATION SERVICE: Monday, March 11, 7:00 pm in the

    Church.

    RCIA SCRUTINIES: For those who are making their final preparations for initiation, Lent is a

    time of purification and enlightenment. During this rite, the celebrant and congregation pray for

    them. These rites are for self-searching and repentance and have a spiritual purpose. They are

    meant to help allof us uncover and then heal all that is weak or sinful in our hearts, to bring outand strengthen all that is upright, strong and good in us. In the Scrutinies, we ask God to deliver

    the elect from the power of sin, to protect them against temptation, and to give them strength inChrist who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Please pray for our catechumens: Meghan andMichael Fair (RCIC), Jackie Knorr, and Kim Mullett.
