A PRAYER OF OFFERING BY THE SICK FOR THE UNBORN REV. FRANK PAVONE, NATIONAL DIRECTOR, PRIESTS FOR LIFE

God of love and consolation, You always draw us closer to Yourself. You ask us to trust You and You make us always more like Jesus Your Son. Through His cross, You give our human suffering divine mean-ing and purpose. I pray today for all my brothers and sisters, and especially for those most in need, the children living in their mothers’ womb.

Father, I offer my sufferings for them, in union with the sufferings of Jesus. Through my weakness, may they be protected, through my pain, may they be safe, through my loneliness, may they know the joy of life. God of Life, bring an end to abortion in our world, and bring peace and healing to me and to all who are sick. I pray through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MOSES AND JESUS Homily Summary — Fr. Andrew Wojtan — February 28, 2016

(Dt 18:15-18) Moses heard he was starting a prophetic office and it would be culminated in a Prophet like him. The more we know about Moses, the more we know about Jesus.

Moses was born to a poor mother in very poor circumstances; yet the woman who would be called the Queen of Egypt raised him. Jesus was born to a very poor woman, who at the end was declared the Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Moses’ life was in danger; Pharaoh wanted to kill all the boy-children of the Israelites. Jesus’ life was in danger; King Herod wanted to kill all the boy-children of Bethlehem.

Moses spent his childhood in exile from his family, living in a pagan palace. Jesus spent His exile in Egypt; living in poverty.

Stephen (Acts7:22) said: ‘Moses was taught all the wisdom of the Egyptians.’ St. Paul (Col 2:3): ‘In Jesus all the jewels of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.’

Moses wandered in the wilderness for 40 years to learn how to be a son of God and a Savior of his peo-ple. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness deciding what kind of Messiah He would become.

Moses’ ministry began with a meeting with God on Sinai. He was able to go back to Egypt. When Jesus came out of the wilderness, He brought the heart of God to the world.

Moses fought the power of evil in Egypt. Jesus fought the powers of evil that were holding the human race in their spiritual bondage.

Moses gave them manna from heaven. Jesus gave them Eucharist. Moses’ manna lasted 40 years. Je-sus’ Eucharist will last until the end of time.

Moses opened the sea. Jesus walked on the waters.

Moses led the people through the Passover; Jesus through the fulfillment of the Passover.

Moses led the people into the Covenant with God; Jesus became the Covenant with God which was carved in His own flesh.

Moses saw God ‘face to face’, but Jesus is God. (Jn 1:17-18): ’The Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.’

Multiplication of the loaves – the sign of manna. Immediately afterwards Jesus is walking on the water - a sign of Moses. Later the transfiguration of Jesus. Moses was transfigured on the mountain. Gospels show us that Jesus is a prophet like Moses and encourage us to go back to the OT, to read the prophecies that are there. It will open to you the spiritual meaning of the Gospels.

DIOCESAN & COMMUNITY NEWS CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES (CRS) COLLECTION—”Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did it for me” (Mt 25:40). Today, we’re reminded that Jesus identified himself with our poorest brothers and sisters. The CRS Collection serves Jesus in the victims of human trafficking, those who suffer from unjust laws, and those who need pastoral care and humanitarian assistance across the globe. Through supporting today’s collection, you help Jesus in disguise. Thank you for your generosity!

Four ways to build a special relationship with Jesus

What do Catholics believe are the Four Marks of the Church?

Discovering hope and joy in the Catholic faith. March 2016

The Marks of the Church are that it is 'one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.' The Church is one because all the members are united in Christ. The Church is holy because it shares in the holiness of Christ, who founded it.

It is catholic because of its universal mission to spread

the Gospel to all people. Finally, the Church is apostolic because it is founded on the teaching of the Apostles, which was handed on to their successors the bishops.

St. Casimir of Poland Born a prince of

Poland, St. Casimir was endowed with

a strong conscience by a great teacher, John Dlugosz. He was recognized for his holiness and integrity. He slept on the ground and spent nights in prayer. When his father sent him to take over Hungary, Prince Casimir assessed the odds against winning the war. Seeing he was outnumbered, he turned back out of concern for his troops, and resolved never to go to war again.

Act from Within Sometimes we can do the right thing for the wrong reason. For example, do we follow the Ten Commandments because we are afraid of being punished, or because it’s the right thing to do? Today, make a commitment to follow your conscience and act from within.

“We even boast of our af�ictions, knowing that af�iction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint”

(Romans 5:3-5).

Scripture clearly says that God wants to have an intimate relationship with each of us. Yet it can be challenging to feel close to one we can’t always see. It may help to remember that Jesus is a living person, still accessible and available. “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known” (Jeremiah 33:3). Picture him in detail. Imagine his clothing, his face, and the color of his hair and eyes. Recall that image whenever you talk to him. Learn his background. Read his biography (the Scriptures). Find out about his mother and father, his

friends, neighbors, how he spent his time on Earth and what he does now. Discover his likes, dislikes and qualities he looks for in his friends. Spend time with him. Imagine he is

sitting next to you. Tell him about

yourself. Share your struggles, what you hope

to accomplish, what makes you

happy, what saddens you. Ask

for Jesus’ help to get through your

day in a way that is pleasing to God.

Become comfortable with silence. Good friends don’t always

talk. Sometimes they sit in compan-ionable silence just to be together. Using your image of Jesus, spend time in silence with him, just for the sake of being together.

How could God send his only Son to die?

Because Adam and Eve sinned, we needed a Savior to pay the price and save us from sin and death. “For God so

loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life” (John 3:16). While it was not

easy for God to send his Son to die, he did it because he loves us and wants us to be with him in Heaven. However, this does not mean God the Son was forced to die for us. Jesus said, “No one takes [my life] from me, but I lay it down on my own” (John 10:18). Jesus’ sacri�ce was freely offered to the Father on our behalf. “Indeed, out of love for his Father and for men, whom the Father wants to save, Jesus freely accepted his Passion and death” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 609). The love of the Father and the Son for us was proved to the end on the Cross.

March 6 - St. Colette (1447). St. Colette was born in Corbie, France. She was orphaned at seventeen and gave her inheritance to the poor. She later became a Franciscan Tertiary and lived in solitude. St. Colette was told in a dream to reform the Poor Clares. Despite opposition, she founded seventeen convents under the reformed rule. March 19 – St. Joseph (1st century). Jesus’ earthly father and husband to the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph is a model of fatherhood and a protector of families. We know little about him, but the Bible

tells us he was a “righteous man” (Matthew 1:19). He is the patron saint of a happy death, because he died in the arms of Jesus and Mary. March 17 – St. Patrick (493). Born in Scotland, St. Patrick was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave. He escaped a few years later and became a priest. He was ordained the bishop of Ireland. He is credited for having established the Church there.

Easter is a Second Chance What if we could go back and undo all the misdeeds we regret from our past? Wouldn’t it be freeing not to just be forgiven for our mistakes but to be able to make things so right it is as if they never happened? That is actually the nature of God’s mercy. When Easter morning dawns, our new life begins and we start as new creations. Here’s how to make the most of your second chance: Start off on the right foot: Go to Easter Mass and renew your baptismal promises. Take to heart your vow to renounce evil

and embrace new life. Make an Easter resolution: Be a truly new

creation. Keep all your good Lenten habits going after Easter.

Take advantage of God’s bad memory. God’s perfect love means he does not bear grudges, keep track of wrongdoing, or hold

onto ill will. When he forgives, he forgets. Stay close to the Sacrament of Reconciliation

(Confession), and be con�dent that you are restored to full friendship with God.

When Mary Magdalene told the Apostles what she saw at the tomb, John and Peter raced to see for themselves. When John saw the burial cloths inside the tomb, he may have recognized his friend’s habits in how the cloths were arranged because “he saw and believed.” John realized that Jesus was resurrected as he had promised. On Easter morning, many truths were revealed to John. It was con�rmed that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus is the one anointed by God to reconcile us to God, and Jesus was raised from the dead and is now “judge of the

living and the dead." John was there after the Resurrection when

Jesus created the Catholic Church and commissioned

her to preach and bear witness to Jesus and to

God’s love for us. As followers of Jesus, we know that our love and our devotion to him will eventually reveal the truths of many mysteries to us.

Following Jesus as John did will help us to understand the beauty of God’s plan. The key is to love Jesus as his "beloved disciple" did.
