PARISH MISSION STATEMENT:

We are a Community of Disciples Gathering at the

Banquet Table Joyfully Proclaiming Jesus Christ

Celebrating our Gifts of Prayer,

Hospitality, Faith Formation and Service.

Readings:

Exodus 17:3-7 Psalm 95:1-2, 6-9

Romans 5:1-2, 5-8 John 4:5-15, 19-26, 39-42

The Israelites’ hearts were hardened by their hardships in

the desert.

Though they have seen His mighty deeds, in their thirst

they grumble and put God to the test in today’s First

Reading—a crisis point recalled also in today’s Psalm.

Jesus is thirsty, too, in today’s Gospel. He thirsts for souls

(see John 19:28). He longs to give the Samaritan woman

the living waters that well up to eternal life.

These waters couldn’t be drawn from the well of Jacob,

father of the Israelites and the Samaritans, but Jesus was

something greater than Jacob (see Luke 11:31-32).

The Samaritans were Israelites who escaped exile when

Assyria conquered the Northern Kingdom eight centuries

before Christ (see 2 Kings 17:6, 24-41). They were

despised for intermarrying with non-Israelites and

worshipping at Mount Gerazim, not Jerusalem.

But Jesus tells the woman that the “hour” of true worship

is coming, when all will worship God in Spirit and truth.

Jesus’ “hour” is the “appointed time” that Paul speaks of

in today’s Epistle. It is the hour when the Rock of our

salvation was struck on the Cross. Struck by the soldier’s

lance, living waters flowed out from our Rock (see John

19:34-37).

These waters are the Holy Spirit (see John 7:38-39), the

gift of God (see Hebrews 6:4).

By the living waters the ancient enmities of Samaritans

and Jews have been washed away, the dividing wall

between Israel and the nations is broken down

(see Ephesians 2:12–14, 18). Since His hour, all may

drink of the Spirit in Baptism (see 1 Corinthians 12:13).

In this Eucharist, the Lord now is in our midst—as He was

at the Rock of Horeb and at the well of Jacob.

In the “today” of our Liturgy, He calls us to believe: “I am

He,” come to pour out the love of God into our hearts

through the Holy Spirit. How can we continue to worship

as if we don’t understand? How can our hearts remain

hardened?

The Greenmount Cemetery will have the ANNUAL CLEAN-UP of the cemetery grounds from March 16-20. We ask families to remove all items by March 15 and not to replace them until March 21. This is a complete clean up — everything must be removed, except for the shepherds’ hooks/staffs, but all items need to be removed from the hooks.

Catholic Cemetery Clean-Up

CLEAN UP for 2020 for Calvary, St. Peter and St. Boni-face Cemeteries will be held March 23 thru 27. Every-thing has to off the graves by March 22. Please take this time to look at your shepherds’ hook and make sure they are not rusting. You may want to take them home and repaint them. Also, if they are rusting, they could damage the stone due to rust dripping on the stone. Please mark your flowers with the Name on the stone and your contact number so if they come off there is a better chance to have them returned to the right spot. (Markings should be weather proof if possible.)

Traditional Marriage Crusade

God’s marriage and the traditional family need our prayers. That is why you are invited to join our 2020 Traditional Marriage Rosary Rally.

In The Secret of the Rosary, Saint Louis de Montfort said: “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffer-ing.”

What: THE HOLY ROSARY

Where: St. Boniface Church (outside)

When: March 21 at 11:45 a.m. Rally begins at Noon

For more information, contact Parker Brown at email: fsacredheart@gmail.com

Anyone interested in gardening a plot (15’x5’) can help plan our garden this Monday evening (March 16) at 6:30 p.m. in the Gathering Room. Sarah Fernandez will be there with information of other community gardens in Quincy. You may get a little dirt on your hands, but the joy of seeing the fruit of our labor can be very rewarding. See what you can grow!!
