Third Sunday of Lent March 3, 2013

The LORD secures justice and the rights of all the oppressed.

— Psalm 103:6

MARCH 3, 2013: THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

Cari amici in Cristo, La Santa Sede è ora vacante. Attendiamo ora il

risultato del Conclave (letteralmente, "con chiave", chiuso in). Ciò avverrà a breve. Nel frattempo, è senza dubbio che avete notato durante la preghiera eucaristica, non preghiamo per il Papa, perché la sede di San Pietro è sede vacante (letteralmente, la sede è vuota). Tra l'altro, la parola “See” (in inglese) in riferimento al “Santa Sede” deriva dalla sede, la parola latina per la sede (anche naturalmente in italiano).

Ci sono naturalmente molte domande su ciò che significa avere un Papa in pensione. Sappiamo che egli continuerà a essere chiamato ancora Benedetto VXI ed il suo titolo è “Papa Emerito” (un papa che ha compiuto il suo servizio). In ogni caso, continuiamo a pregare per lo Spirito Santo a guidare i Cardinali per l'elezione del nuovo Santo Padre, il loro compito più importante.

Dom Ambros, che è uno dei nostri confratelli, dà in questo periodo i colloqui per la Quaresima dal punto di partenza della sapienza del Papa in pensione, Benedetto XVI. Purtroppo non possiamo ospitarlo per le ultime due sessioni serali dei suoi discorsi – lui era qui fra noi Venerdì sera, perché nella nostra chiesa avevamo già due Messe memoriale il Lunedi e Martedì. Vi prego però, di andare ad ascoltare la sua presentazione a San Patrizio, che fa due volte al giorno dopo la Messa delle 9:00 e 19:30.

Questo Mercoledì dalle 19:00-21:00 si terrà un’altra Open House a tutti i Santi per le famiglie prospettive. Vi prego di consultare il bollettino per ulteriori dettagli. Facciamo molti cambiamenti e vogliamo dare un vantaggio per una buona educazione ai vostri figli e nipoti !

Poche reminiscenze: (1) la Quinta Conferenza Annuale degli Uomini Cattolici si terrà ad Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville Sabato, 9 Marzo. La conferenza offre la Messa con il Vescovo, relatori e la possibilità di andare a confessarsi. Questa è una grande opportunità per crescere nell'amore di Dio e della Chiesa. Per info: www.catholicmensministry.net

(2) La notte di raccoglimento Mercoledì, 13 Marzo, con Padre Carlo Mangano e di sua sorella, Laura Mangano. Con canti, preghiere e testimonianze, questa sera offre un bel modo in cui entrare nel significato più profondo della Quaresima. Vi prego di incoraggiare la vostra famiglia e gli amici a questo evento, che è aperto a tutti.

(3) la produzione drammatica della scuola “All Saints”, Bella e la Bestia, sarà effettuata a san Giacinto: Venerdì e Sabato sera (15 e 16 Marzo) e Domenica pomeriggio (dopo il corteo). (4) Lunedì, 18 Marzo, Mons. Murphy conferma i nostri cinquantuno candidati alle 16:00

Dear Friends in Christ,

The Holy See is now vacant. We now await the out-come of the conclave (literally, “con chiave”, locked in). This will take place shortly. In the meantime, you will doubtless notice that during the Eucharistic Prayer, we do not mention the Pope because Rome is sede vacante (literally, the seat is empty). By the way, the word “See” in reference to the “Holy See” derives from sede, the Latin word for seat.

There are naturally many questions about what it means to have a retired Pope. We know that he will be continued to be called Benedict XVI and that his title is Pope Emeritus (a pope having completed his service). In any case, let us continue to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide the Cardinals in the election of the new Holy Fa-ther, their most important duty.

Dom Ambros, who is one of our confrères, is currently giving talks for Lent based on the Wisdom of the retired Pope, Benedict XVI. Unfortunately we cannot host him for the last two evening sessions of his talks – he was here on Friday – because our church had already two Me-morial Masses on Monday and Tuesday. Do, however, go and listen to his presentations at Saint Patrick, which he offers twice daily after the 9:00 am and at 7:30 pm.

This Wednesday from 7:00-9:00 pm we will be hold-ing another Open House at All Saints for prospective families. Please see the bulletin for further details. We are making many changes and want your children and grand-children to benefit!

A few remainders: (1) the Fifth Annual Catholic Men’s Conference will be held at Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville on Saturday, March 9th. The conference fea-tures Mass with the Bishop, speakers and the chance to go to Confession. This is a great opportunity to grow in love of God and the Church. For info: www.catholicmensministry.net

(2) The Night of Recollection on Wednesday, March 13th, with Father Charles Mangano and his sister, Laura Mangano. With songs, prayers and testimonies, this eve-ning offers a beautiful way in which to enter into the deeper meaning of Lent. Please encourage family and friends to this event, which is open to everyone.

(3) All Saints’ theatre production, Beauty and the Beast, will be performed at Saint Hyacinth on Friday and Saturday evenings (March 15th and 16th) and Sunday af-ternoon (after the parade). (4) On Monday, March 18th, Bishop Murphy confirms our fifty-one candidates at 4 pm.

CHURCH OF ST. ROCCO, GLEN COVE, NEW YORK

Let us pray for the intentions of our Holy Father during the month of March…..

General Intention: That respect for nature may grow with the awareness that all creation is God’s work entrusted to human responsibility. Missionary Intention: That bishop, priests, and deacons may be tireless messengers of the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

The regular collection on 2 /24/2013 was $3,237.00 The sec-ond collection for Fuel was $1,148.00. May God bless you for your continued support and generosity. Thank you, Fr. Elias

BULLETIN REFLECTION The parable in today’s Gospel clearly warns that we, like the fig tree, will be judged by our fruit. While God mercifully provides us with time and opportu-nity, let us give witness to our faith with deeds of kindness and generosity.

LIVING STEWARDSHIP We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who love actively. How? By serving in a soup kitchen, food pantry, homeless shelter, hospital or assisted living facility.
