The Chrism Mass in the Diocese of Orlando will be celebrated on Wednesday, April 8 at 6:30 PM at St. James Cathedral in Orlando. This is when the bishop, joined by the priests of the diocese, gather for Mass to manifest the unity of the priests with their bishop.

Here the bishop blesses three oils — the oil of catechumens (oleum catechumenorum or oleum sanctorum), the oil of the infirm (oleum infirmorum) and holy chrism (sacrum chrisma) — which will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the diocese for the year. These oils are then brought back to our parish and presented during the Holy Thursday Mass. All are invited to attend the Chrism Mass.

Beloved in Christ, this weekend of the 5th Sunday of Lent, marks the Third and Final Scrutiny of our Elect. Even in the midst of our present challenges of the Corona Virus, with the suspension of public liturgies, God brings us

tremendous hope of restoration. The scrutiny readings, each time, show us a new opportunity, new beginning and new lease on life. The Samaritan woman received a new understanding that changed her life. The man born blind received the gift of sight that transformed his relationships. Today, with the physical resurrection of Lazarus related in the Gospel Passage (John 11:1-45), we see beyond any

reasonable doubt, that not even death can frustrate the plan of God for our wellbeing and salvation. Our Elect and the unbaptized, in as much as they still have Original Sin, are in a metaphysical condition of primordial death: “For the wages of sin is death” (Rom 6:23). But I have good news for them: God declares in the First Reading (Eezk 37:12-14) “O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them…. I will put my spirit in you that you may live.” God is the Father Who Keeps His promises. So Jesus will prevail for our Elect at Easter. He will proclaim those powerful words from above: “Take away the stone!” Such would be the command empowering the Church to celebrate with the Elect the Sacraments of Christian Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist); and therefore to remove the metaphysical stone entombing them. The Elect will hear Jesus cry out, “Lazarus, come out!” “Thomas, come out!” “Margaret, come out!” “Unbind him; let him go! Unbind her, let her go!” They will receive the gift of a new beginning, a new understanding, a new relationship; and they will never be the same again (cf. 2Cor 5:17). BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK: “I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean …. A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you” (Ezek 36:25-26). OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL 2020: Many thanks to those who have made their pledges. If you have not, please, call the office to mail you an Appeal envelope (321-725-3066) or kindly use the online donation option on our website: ourladyofgracechurch.com. We need you! God bless you. Desde el Escritorio del Pastor Amado en Cristo, este fin de semana del quinto domingo de Cuaresma, marca el tercer y último escrutinio de nuestros elegidos. Incluso en medio de nuestros desafíos actuales del Virus Corona, con la suspensión de las liturgias públicas, Dios nos brinda una tremenda esperanza de restauración. Las lecturas de escrutinio, cada vez, nos muestran una nueva oportunidad, un nuevo comienzo y una nueva oportunidad de vida. La mujer samaritana recibió un nuevo entendimiento que cambió su vida. El hombre ciego de nacimiento recibió el don de la vista que transformó sus relaciones. Hoy, con la resurrección física de Lázaro en el Pasaje del Evangelio (Juan 11:1-45), vemos más allá de cualquier duda razonable, que ni siquiera la muerte puede frustrar el plan de Dios para nuestro bienestar y salvación. Nuestros elegidos y los no bautizados, en la medida que todavía tienen el pecado original, están en una condición metafísica de muerte primordial: “Porque la paga del pecado es muerte” (Rom 6:23). Pero tengo buenas noticias para ellos: Dios declara en la Primera Lectura (Ezek 37:12-14) “Pueblo mío, yo mismo abriré sus sepulcros, los haré salir de ellos…. Entonces les infundiré mi espíritu y vivirán.” Dios es el Padre que cumple Sus promesas. Entonces Jesús prevalecerá para nuestros elegidos en la Pascua. Él proclamará esas palabras poderosas de arriba: “¡Quiten la losa!" Tal sería el mandato que faculta a la Iglesia para celebrar con los elegidos los sacramentos de iniciación cristiana (Bautismo, Confirmación y Sagrada Eucaristía); y por lo tanto para eliminar la piedra metafísica que los sepulta. Los elegidos oirán a Jesús gritar: “¡Lázaro, sal de allí!” “¡Tomas, sal de allí!” “¡Margaret, sal de allí!” “Desátenlo, para que pueda andar. Desátenla, para que pueda andar.” Recibirán el regalo de un nuevo comienzo, una nueva comprensión, una nueva relación; y nunca volverán a ser los mismos (cf. 2Cor 5:17). VERSO BÍBLICO DE LA SEMANA: “Los rociaré con agua limpia y quedarán limpios…. Les daré un corazón nuevo y pondré un espíritu nuevo dentro de ustedes” (Ezeq 36:25-26). NUESTRO LLAMADO CATÓLICO 2020: Muchas gracias a quienes han hecho sus promesas. Si no lo ha hecho, llame a la oficina para enviarle un sobre de Apelación (321-725-3066) o utilice la opción de donación en línea en nuestra página electrónica: ourladyofgracechurch.com. ¡Te necesitamos! Dios te bendiga.

Pastor’s Corner


Our parish goal for 2020 is $102,026. Once we achieve our

goal, 2/3 of the additional funds will be returned to the parish with the other third supporting the priest retirement fund. These funds can then help us sup-port our needs such as new roofs on SVDP and the white house, updating narthex bathrooms, and other future needs. These additional funds will not cover all of these costs, but will help in some ways. Nuestra meta parroquial para 2020 es $ 102,026. Una vez que logremos nuestra meta, 2/3 de los fondos adicionales serán devueltos a la parroquia con el otro tercio apoyando el fondo de jubilación del sacerdote. Estos fondos pueden ayudarnos a satisfacer nuestras necesidades, como nuevos techos en SVDP y la casa blanca, actualizar los baños narthex y otras necesidades futuras. Estos fondos adicionales no cubrirán todos estos costos, pero ayudarán de alguna manera.

Blessed Be God! Who Calls You By Name!

Holy and Chosen One! Please keep in prayer the “Elect” who were called to the Easter Sacraments by Bishop John Noonan at the Rite of Election on the First Sunday of Lent. They will celebrate Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil. Por favor, mantenga en oración a los "elegidos" que fueron llamados a los Sacramentos de Pascua por el Obispo John Noonan en el Rito de Elección en el Primer Domingo de Cuaresma. Celebrarán el Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Sagrada Comunión en la Vigilia Pascual.

Have you heard the words Easter Triduum and wonder what it really means? The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery. The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil. The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:

• Mass of the Lord's Supper—Thursday, April 9 7:00 PM • Good Friday of the Lord's Passion—Friday, April 10 3:00 PM • Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord—Saturday, April 11 8:30 PM ¿Has escuchado las palabras Triduo Pascual y te preguntas qué significa realmente? La cumbre del Año Litúrgico es el Triduo Pascual, desde la tarde del Jueves Santo hasta la tarde del Domin-go de Pascua. Aunque cronológicamente son tres días, un día litúrgicamente nos están revelando la unidad del misterio pascual de Cristo. La celebración única del Triduo marca el final de la temporada de Cuaresma y conduce a la Misa de la Res-urrección del Señor en la Vigilia Pascual. Los servicios litúrgicos que tienen lugar durante el Triduo son: · Misa de la Cena del Señor: jueves 9 de abril a las 7:00 p.m. · Viernes Santo de la Pasión del Señor: viernes 10 de abril a las 3:00 p.m. · Misa de la resurrección del Señor: sábado 11 de abril, 8:30 p.m.

Saint Francis of Paola; 27 March 1416 – 2 April 1507) was an Italian mendicant friar and the founder of the Roman Catholic Order of Minims. Unlike the majority of founders of men's religious orders, and like his patron saint, Francis was never ordained a priest. Pope Leo X canonized him in 1519. He is considered to be a patron saint of boatmen, mariners and naval officers. His liturgical

feast day is celebrated by the universal Church on April 2nd, the day on which he died. In 1963, Pope John XXIII designated him as the patron saint of Calabria. Though his miracles were numerous, he was canonized for his humility and discernment in blending the contemplative life with the active one.

GIVE GLORY TO GOD On the Fifth Sunday of Lent, just before we begin to enter Holy Week, we are summoned to Bethany. If we had been friends of Mary, Lazarus, and Martha, and found out that Lazarus was gravely ill, we probably would have dropped everything to be with them. This was what was so surprising about the behavior of Jesus. Although he was their close friend, he chose to stay away, that God’s glory would be manifested. This is a persistent theme in John’s Gospel. Right to the very end, Jesus’ works were meant to give glory to the Father. As our Lenten journey reaches a crescendo, let us be mindful that, as people who have “put on Christ” in baptism, we are also called, by our attitudes and actions, to give glory to God.

DA GLORIA A DIOS En el Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma, justo antes de en-trar en la Semana Santa, somos llamados a Betania. Si hu-biéramos sido amigos de María, Lázaro y Marta, y nos hu-biéramos enterado que Lázaro estaba gravemente enfermo, probablemente lo habríamos dejado todo para estar con ellos. Eso es lo más sorprendente del comportamiento de Jesús. Pese a que era su amigo cercano, eligió mantenerse alejado, para que la gloria de Dios se manifestara. Este es un tema persistente en el Evangelio de Juan. Hasta el mis-mo final, las obras de Jesús son para dar gloria al Padre. A medida que nuestra jornada de Cuaresma llega a su apo-geo, recordemos que, como personas que “se han revestido de Cristo” en el Bautismo, también somos llamados a dar gloria a Dios en nuestras actitudes y acciones.
