Life is a Journey

Our life journey is meant to move everyone toward God ..our final des na on. Our first reading share an important moment in salva on history: the Jews are liberated by Cyrus and allowed to return to God-given home, Jerusalem. In our Gospel reading, John describes how Jesus moves from this me and place to his life of glory …and it is through his suffering on the cross. Our life as Chris ans, as disciples, parallels Jesus’ life in some way. Our journey is one of faith ..and we believe that Our Lord accompanies us on our journey ..as Paul reminds us that it is by grace that we are saved, in joys and in crosses. There is no success without Christ. And through our faith lives we bring Christ to others. St. Paul speaks of God’s grace “the immeasurable riches of his grace..”. We might consider “grace” to be like “energy”. That just happens to be this week’s theme in “Lent 4.2” …considering where our energy comes from for our appliances, hea ng and air-condi oning, etc. In the Gospel, Jesus says that He, God, is the light. Our “Prayer” for this week expresses this very well.

Fr. Bill

La Vida es una Jornada

Nuestro caminar por la vida debe acercarnos a Dios …nuestro des no final. La primera lectura presenta un momento importante de la historia de salvación: los judíos liberados por Ciro, y luego los permite regresar a Jerusalén, sus casas. En el Evangelio, Juan describe como Jesús mueve desde este empo y lugar hacia su vida de gloria …y es por medio de su sufrir en la Cruz. Nuestra vida como cris anos, discípulos,

paralela la vida de Jesús. Nuestra jornada es una de fe ..creemos que Nuestro Señor nos acompaña …como Pablo nos recuerda que es por la gracia que somos salvados, en alegrías y en cruces. No hay éxito sin Cristo. Y por nuestras vidas de fe llevamos a Jesucristo a los demás. San Pablo habla de “la incomparable riqueza de su gracia…”. Podemos considerar la “gracia” como “energía”. Por casualidad, este es el tema de esta semana en “Cuaresma 4.2” …reflexionar en cuanto dónde viene la energía para los electrodomés cos, la calefacción o aire-condicionado. En el Evangelio, Jesús nos dice que Él, Dios, es nuestra luz. La oración para esta semana lo expresa muy bien.

In our Lenten days of thoughtfulness and care for those in need, let us remember our

Haiti Medical Mission. We at St. Philip collect Extra Strength Tylenol or the generic equivalent, as

other parishes collect other needs that the Medical Mission uses. So as they

prepare for another Mission, we are invited to help them. Thank you if you are able to help. Thank you for

your prayer and care for the people of Haiti. You can place the Tylenol in the big box near the Haiti cards in

church. Thank you!

Una misión médica para Haití pide donaciones de “Extra Strength Tylenol”. Hay una caja en el

templo, cerca de las venta de tarjetas, donde puede depositar su donación. ¡Gracias!

Upcoming Roof Work on the Church - An evaluation of our nearly-80-year-old church roof has resulted in the determination that the six “barrel dormers” on the church roof need to be replaced. The existing dormers have been repaired and patched numerous times over the years, and with the input of multiple roofing professionals our Building & Grounds Committee and Finance Council have concluded that at this time to optimize the future performance of the roof we should have the multiple existing layers of roofing material removed, and replaced with standing seam curved copper panels. You will see this work taking place during the month of March. This roof work follows the snow guard work and the slate repairs completed on our roof in 2017. Further work is anticipated on other aspects of our roof in the future, but the roof work believed to be the most critically needed at this time is with the barrel dormers as described above. This project is being funded by a portion of a very generous bequest from the estate of Richard and Gladys Foley (who passed away in 2011 and 2004, respectively) upon the death of their daughter Jayne Foley in September 2017. We are extraordinarily grateful to the Foley family for their foresight and generosity to continue to support the ministry of St. Philip Parish. A bequest like this is a wonderful way to continue a family's legacy and we hope you and your family may consider to remember St. Philip in your planned giving and will. We wish to again thank the Foley family and wish to keep them in our prayers. This bequest comes at a time when significant repairs to the church are needed and it truly is a blessing this bequest allowed us to complete this work. Reparaciones al Techo del Templo - Una evaluación del techo de nuestro templo, un techo de 80 años, determine que debemos reemplazar las secciones en forma de barril sobre las ventanas. Han sido remendados con parchas varias veces; la recomendación es quitar las varias capas de parches y cubrir esta sección con cobre. Este trabajo está programado para este mes de marzo. El año pasado hicimos varias otras reparaciones en el techo, y anticipamos que en el futuro debemos darle suguimiento al tener el techo en buenas condiciones. Lo más urgente es el trabajo sobre las ventanas del templo. Vamos a cubrir el costo de este trabajo con fondos de un legado a la parroquia de la familia Foley; Richard y Gladys fallecieron en 2011 y 2004, su hija Jane falleció en septiembre del año pasado. Estamos sumamente agradecidos a esta generosidad de la familia Foley, y invitamos a que todos podamos dejar una parte de nuestra herencia a nombre de nuestra parroquia San Felipe.

4th Sunday of Lent

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” - J 3:16

Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask

us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we are grateful and generous with our

God-given gifts. That we nurture and develop them and return with increase.

4º domingo de Cuaresma

"Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo que le dio a su único Hijo ..."

- Juan 3:16

De todos los maravillosos regalos que Dios nos ha dado, el regalo de su propio Hijo es verdaderamente el más grande. ¿Cómo podemos agradecerle a Dios por

un regalo como ese? Dios no nos pide que sacrifiquemos a nuestro precioso primogénito, pero sí nos pide que seamos agradecidos y generosos con los dones que Dios nos ha dado. Que los alimentemos y

devolvamos con aumento.
