MMarch 3, 2019 ~ Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Remove the wooden beam from your eye first. (Luke 6:42) People love to judge other people and give advice, even when they don’t have much to offer. It can be kind of cute to see children spouting off about topics they

know nothing about, but it gets a little scarier when they grow up. Depending on how serious the topic is, it can become downright dangerous, like “the blind leading the blind.” As Jesus points out in today’s Gospel, we can be particularly prone to offering unnecessary, as well as ill-conceived, advice in the spiritual or moral realm. It can seem so clear to us what needs to happen in someone’s life that it’s hard to hold back. But when it comes to our own lives, we are more cautious because we see the big picture, and we know there is no quick and easy fix. Only God sees the true big picture. And because he does, he treats us with unending patience, grace, and mercy. What a comforting truth this is! You can rest peacefully, secure in the faith that your heavenly Father has you in the palm of his hand. But here too is where a major challenge lies: God sees everyone’s big picture. He has every person in the palm of his hand—even the people you understand the least. This means that you can leave everyone else to his care. You don’t have to worry about changing them! Of course, you should love the people around you and be involved in their lives. But try to do it by treating them with the same merciful, loving approach that God has. Seek to understand and empathize, not condemn and overadvise. Think of one person whom you are most tempted to judge or give advice to. Now try to isolate one conversation you have had in the last day or two when you gave in to the temptation to try to fix him or her. How could you have offered grace and love instead? Finally, watch for the next conversation, and lead with love rather than correction.

Wednesday, March 6th is Ash Wednesday. It is a day of Fast and Abstinence from meat. Ashes will be administered after the homilies at the 6:45, 9:00am, 12:15 & 7:00pm Masses

& at a prayer service at 4:00pm. A Lenten collection will be taken at all services to aid our Good Samaritan Fund. REGULATIONS FOR LENT The Church urges all the Christian faithful to offer special prayers, to perform works of piety & charity, & to mortify themselves by fulfilling their responsibilities more faithfully. They are likewise encouraged to perform acts of fast & abstinence. The Church especially singles out Lent as a penitential season.

FASTING: Requires that only one full meal a day be taken. Two smaller meals may be taken to maintain strength but these taken together should not equal another full meal. Fasting obliges from the 18th to the 59th birthday.

ABSTINENCE: Forbids the eating of meat. Abstinence obliges from the 14th birthday and continues to oblige throughout life.

Movie Night Returns March 7th

7:00pm in the Nativity Center The movie Indivisible, (David G. Evans) based on a true story, explores the life of Army chaplain Darren Turner, his wife Heather, and their children. This is also a movie about the men and women who go to war and are damaged by the experience. Army chaplain Darren Turner (played by Justin Brueing) has a wonderful marriage and three children. Heather (played by Sarah Drew) and Darren share a strong faith that reflects on their daily lives. This picture-perfect family’s life darkens when Darren is deployed to Iraq as an army chaplain. The deployment becomes the ultimate test for not only Darren’s faith, but also his marriage. While in Iraq, not only does Darren see why so many soldiers come home broken and disturbed, but also he himself experiences trauma and loss when the divine protection he promises the soldiers does not pan out. When he finally returns home after a long deployment, Darren is a different man, and Heather is a different woman. Their seamless relationship had started to rip in many places while Darren was in Iraq while Heather had to struggle raising three children while supporting other military families. Upon his return, as Darren closes himself to his family, Heather is left with the sad choice of leaving the man she loves or fighting the PTSD monster that threatens to claim yet another husband and a father. Those other films aren’t bad, but this movie has a sense of the real-life struggles that Christian families go through, especially this family and their military ministry. Married couples deal with various struggles, including PTSD and drinking. Families can discuss faith, friendship, and military service, as well as how committed the Turners are to preserving their marriage. Turners’ struggle is real and it is multiplied throughout the ranks of our military. Fortunately for them they do have a strong faith in Jesus Christ and it is this faith in Jesus that makes this a movie worth our time as Christians. PG 13 (2018) Runtime: 119 min
