ARCHDIOCESE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Prayer Chain Phone # 694-4771
Readings: Exodus 3:1–8, 13–15, Psalm 103:1–4, 6–8, 11, 1 Corinthians 10:1–6, 10–12, Luke 13:1–9 In the Church, we are made children of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God who makes known His name and His ways to Moses in today’s First Reading.
Mindful of His covenant with Abraham (see Exodus 2:24), God came down to rescue His people from the slave drivers of Egypt. Faithful to that same covenant (see Luke 1:54–55, 72–73), He sent Jesus to redeem all lives from destruction, as to-day’s Psalm tells us.
Paul says in today’s Epistle that God’s saving deeds in the Ex-odus were written down for the Church, intended as a prelude and foreshadowing of our own Baptism by water, our libera-tion from sin, our feeding with spiritual food and drink.
Yet the events of the Exodus were also given as a “warning”—that being children of Abraham is no guarantee that we will reach the promised land of our salvation.
At any moment, Jesus warns in today’s Gospel, we could per-ish—not as God’s punishment for being “greater sinners”—but because, like the Israelites in the wilderness, we stumble into evil desires, fall into grumbling, forget all His benefits.
Jesus calls us today to “repentance”—not a one-time change of heart, but an ongoing, daily transformation of our lives. We’re called to live the life we sing about in today’s Psalm—blessing His holy name, giving thanks for His kindness and mercy.
The fig tree in His parable is a familiar Old Testament symbol for Israel (see Jeremiah 8:3; 24:1–10). As the fig tree is given one last season to produce fruit before it is cut down, so too Jesus is giving Israel one final opportunity to bear good fruits as evidence of its repentance (see Luke 3:8).
Lent should be for us like the season of reprieve given to the fig tree, a grace period in which we let “the gardener,” Christ, cultivate our hearts, uprooting what chokes the divine life in us, strengthening us to bear fruits that will last into eternity. —Scott Hahn

One Bread One Body Second Collection March 23-24
In an effort to reduce the amount of parish funds needed to pay our remaining balance of the 2018 One Bread One Body Archdiocesan Annual Appeal Campaign, we will have a second collection this weekend. Our approach has continually been, and continues to be, to increase our total participation. Currently 25% of registered families have contributed.
Envelopes for contributions for contributions are availa-ble in the narthex and you are encouraged to use them so that we are able to track participation. However, contri-butions do not require envelopes.
This will be the last opportunity to contribute to the 2018 appeal, as contributions after March 31 will ap-ply to the 2019 appeal.
WILD GOOSE—“I am baptizing you with water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Matt 3:11
Join your fellow parishioners in enriching your spiritual life this Lent with a weekly video series on the Holy Spirit presented by Fr. Dave Pivonka. Mondays at 6:30pm in the Narthex refreshments will be provided. All are invited!
