TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Today, “Laetare Sunday,” breaks the somberness of Lent for a little rejoicing, and the readings all summon us to an
awareness of reconciliation. One of the best-loved stories of our tradition is today’s Gospel story of the runaway son and the
prodigal father. Prodigal, of course, is an adjective meaning “spendthrift or extravagant to a degree bordering on recklessness,” and although the boy maxes
out the credit cards, it is really the father who is prodigal with forgiveness. Part of the excitement of this Laetare Sunday is rooted in the ancient
catechumenate. Long ago, midway through Lent, the “elect” were focusing more and more on the gift of reconciliation accomplished for them by Christ and about to be
realized in the Easter sacraments they were preparing to celebrate. In some places, the elect were even bedecked with roses on this day. A person bedecked
with roses sticks out in a crowd; a person formed by the Eucharist and committed to living a life of reconciliation does, too. That’s you!
From the Desk of the Pastor
Father Salvatore DeStefano
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Pope Francis has spoken out about the war in Ukraine calling the senseless massacre an abuse of power and sacrilegious. He recently asked the bishops worldwide to join consecration of Ukraine and Russia. Below is an article from the website National Catholic Reporter (ncronline.org) dated March 18, 2022. Let us join with the Pope and people world wide in praying for a peaceful end to this war and for the people of Ukraine and Russia.
Pope Francis has asked bishops around the world to join him March 25 in consecrating Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, something bishops in every part of the globe had started announcing the minute they heard what the pope had planned. “Pope Francis has invited the bishops of the whole world, along with their priests, to join him in the prayer for peace and in the consecration and entrustment of Russia and of Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary,” Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office, said March 18. Three days earlier, the Vatican had announced the pope would lead the prayer in St. Peter’s Basiclica during a Lenten penance service and that, on the same day, the feast of the Annunciation, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, the papal almoner, would lead a similar act of consecration at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal.”
I am sure you could find the prayer service which was held on the 25th of March by googling; Pope Francis Lenten penance service; feast of the Annunciation. I know that many of you along with Father Kwan and I, have been praying for an end of the aggression and for peace for the people of Ukraine and Russia.
REST IN PEACE Eternal Peace Grant Unto Them,
O Lord
