CONGRATULATIONS TO

HOLY HUMOR The pastoral associate, the associate pastor and the pastor are taking a shortcut to a meeting. As they walk through a vacant lot, the trio stumbles on an ancient oil lamp. On a lark they rub it, and to their amazement a genie appears and offers to grant them each one wish. The pastoral associate cries out, "I want to be on an island paradise, lolling in the sun without a care!" The genie waves his hand and he disappears in a puff of smoke. The associate pastor jumps up and says, "I want to be walking through the halls of the Vatican, marveling at all the artwork and never have to go to another meeting as long as I live.” He too disappears. Scowling, the pastor says to the genie, "I want those two back in time for the meeting.” THE BOOK OF CATHOLIC JOKES, by Deacon Tom Sheridan published by ACTA Publications, Chicago,

PARISH-WIDE NEW PILLOW & CASE Project Achieve Ministry would like to thank all those who donated towards our Pillow and Case Drive for the Project Achieve Homeless Shelter. The following were collected on Sunday, March 11:

We invite our parishioners to spend some time before the Blessed Sacrament and pray for an increase in vocations and your own personal intentions. “The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this Sacrament of Love. Let us be generous

with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith… May our adoration never cease.” –

Saint John Paul II

TREASURE OF OUR TRADITIONS

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT St. Cornelius Spring Session

Bereavement Support The journey after the loss of a loved one can be difficult. Whether you have lost a spouse, sibling, parent, child, relative, friend, or experienced divorce, our six (6)-week psycho-educational bereavement program offers group and individual support. Each week coping techniques will be presented that can help you work through the pain of loss. Our Spring session will begin on Monday evening,

MARCH 19TH, at 7 o’clock PM

in the CONVENT CHAPEL St Cornelius Church

5500 E. Wardlow Long Beach, CA 90808

Come, learn, share, be comforted and garner support from the group. If you are interested, please call Nancy Himes (562) 928-2474.

Over the next two weeks, as we hear of the interior anguish of Jesus, we are led to the Garden of Gethsemane, the scene of a night of suffering, failure, and loss. In Hebrew, the word means “olive press,” and it was an olive grove, although only a few trees remain. Olives can’t be eaten off the trees, they need to be cured—knocked from the trees at harvest time, scooped into a stone basin, and cracked open by a heavy millstone. The crushing stone weight was itself called a “gethsemane,” and once it was lowered onto the olives, oil from the fruit and the inner stone would drip into a groove and flow into jars. The night before his death, Jesus experienced such anguish that scripture says his own blood perspired from him, an image no one who understands olive oil production could miss. Today, the Mount of Olives is within the city of Jerusalem and the site of the Church of All Nations, also known as the Basilica of the Agony. It was built in 1924, funded by Catholics in twelve different countries. An open-air altar on the grounds is used by Anglicans on Holy Thursday every year. Nearby is the Russian Church of Mary Magdalene, built by the czar in 1888, its magnificent golden domes a distinctive landmark. There is also another tiny Catholic Church, called Dominus Flevit, or “The Cry of the Lord,” built in a teardrop shape in the mid-1950s. For centuries, the Franciscan order has had the care of the shrines of the Holy Land, and our Good Friday collection helps sustain these precious sites. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S.
