SAVED BY GOD'S LOVE Because the people broke the old covenant, God promised a new covenant, not in the blood of oxen and other animals, but in the blood of the Son, Jesus Christ. This new covenant, foreseen from afar by Jeremiah and the prophets, was not to be engraved on stone, or written on paper, but carved on our hearts, so that we might know God intimately. Not by keeping many laws are we to be saved, but by the love of God, living and real in our hearts through the sacrifice of Christ. Our Eucharist is the pledge of that indwelling of Christ, and of our response of praise and thanksgiving to God for the mercy, love, and kindness shown to us in forgiving our sins and cleansing our hearts of everything evil. God issues this invitation to intimacy by offering us the chance to have our sufferings transformed into the perfect love of the Savior, who first loved us. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Saint Paul Parish The Catholic Community of Princeton

Welcome A Message from Msgr. Joe As Lent moves into its final days, our celebration today gives us an opportunity to reflect on how our Lenten practices have brought us closer to God. Where were you when Lent started? How do things stand now? What can yet be done? Our opening prayer invites us to “walk eagerly in that same charity” out of which Jesus gave his life for us. May that indeed be our prayer today. As we celebrate the final scrutiny with our elect before their celebrations of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil, we proclaim with them the gospel of Jesus raising Lazarus from dead. In these final days of examining our lives, may I suggest that if you did not already avail yourselves of God’s grace through sacramental reconciliation to do so before Easter. In this miracle Jesus unbinds Lazarus from the consequences of sins, invites him out of the tomb and into new life. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, we are forgiven letting go of patterns of sin, to grow in the life of virtue, and witness to a joyful conversion. We, your parish priests are eager to help you if you experience difficulty, hesitation, or uncertainty about approaching the Lord in this sacrament. If you have not received this healing sacrament in a long time, we are ready to welcome you. We, whom Christ has ordained to minister this forgiveness in his name, are also approaching this sacrament, as both penitents and ministers. Next Sunday, March 25, we will gather to celebrate Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord and enter into Holy Week. On this Sunday, we recall the Lord’s triumphal entry into

Jerusalem and listen to the proclamation of the Passion of the Lord so that we might enter into this week mindful and aware of the Lord’s great love for us. You are invited as we gather for mass next week to join in the procession that is unique to next Sunday’s liturgy. Weather permitting we will gather outside of the main doors of the Church, where our palms will be blessed and we will listen to the gospel of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem before our procession into the church. Thanks to all who participated in our Parish Mission. They were good days. As Lent comes to a conclusion, let us continue to be fervent in our prayer for one another especially our Elect. God bless

Spiritual Direction Tending the sacred rela onship

Spiritual direc on is an on‐going rela onship between a “directee” (person seeking) and a “director” (qualified person giving guidance) wherein a sacred space is created for the explora on and deepening of the spiritual life. Through conversa on and reflec on, the directee becomes more a uned to God's presence and can respond more fully to the Divine as it is revealed in all areas of life. Direc on typically takes place in a

confiden al one‐on‐one se ng and may include some form of prayer experience to increase awareness of the movement of the Spirit in the directee’s life. If you are interested in more informa on, please contact Jennifer Hinton at 609‐558‐0985 (cell) or [email protected] or Teresa Knipper at 609‐558‐0582 (cell) or [email protected]. Teresa is available for appointments during the day.

For our sake he was crucified under Pon us Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

Faith Formation A Message from John Michael McGuire Have you ever found yourself extremely frustrated when you couldn’t remember the password for a seldom used web account? Even if that page is vital to your life, and what you have to accomplish, it just isn’t your top priority. It’s a great analogy for our faith life. There are many things in life that need our immediate and full a en on; our careers, caring for our families, and keeping our houses are all top priori es. These are like our online banking apps, work email, and our Amazon accounts. We remember the passwords for these, or have them saved on our computer, and don’t ever find ourselves locked out. Our faith life, private prayer me, and spiritual reading may find themselves taking a backseat because they aren’t generally an emergency situa on. When we finally find ourselves needing to tap in, and access our faith, perhaps we find ourselves out of sync, disconnected, or unable to log‐in. The place where this analogy falls apart is that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life, the password to our faith. If we know Christ and seek him, even the most forge ul of us can get back into the journey. Unlike that stubborn webpage we struggle to access we’ll never have to request a new password or missing username because we are all sons and daughters of God our Father. This week let’s pray that the remainder of this Lenten season can be an opportunity to reconnect, and

repriori ze this aspect of our life that can some mes find itself lost in the busyness of life. God Bless and have a great week!

Summer Academy Dates Summer Academy for the 2017‐2018 Parish Religious Educa on Program year is Monday, July 23 to Friday, July 27, and Monday, July 30 to Friday, August 3. This program covers a year’s catechesis requirements over 30 hours in a two week period, and also provides many liturgical and spiritual opportuni es unique to this program.

Sacrament Policy Reminder It is expected that children begin preparing for the Sacrament of First Reconcilia on/First Holy Communion in first grade, and that young people begin preparing for Confirma on in seventh grade. This policy allows for a child to receive an adequate

amount of prepara on and catechesis in order to experience and understand the sacraments they will be celebra ng.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a special opportunity for children at 10:00 am Mass to share the Word of God in an

age appropriate reflection. Children from 4 years old up to second grade will be invited to come forward after the Collect to receive a blessing and process to the Spiritual Center where they will celebrate a Liturgy of the Word accessible to children. They will return and join their families at the Preparation of the Gifts. New volunteers are always welcome.

Sense Sensitive Mass Our Parish welcomes families with special needs to attend our weekly 5:00 pm Sunday Mass. Music, sounds, and sights will be welcoming to those with challenges. We gather as a community to celebrate Successes, Uniqueness, and Challenges of all God’s Children. For further information please contact Barbara Conforti at: [email protected].

Adult Volunteers We are looking for adult volunteers for our religious educa on programs. Roles include subs tutes (with the op on to be a catechist in the summer or fall), hall monitors, retreat teams (dedicated volunteers to set‐up and leadership) and those interested in beginning a parent group. Please call the Office of Religious Educa on or contact us by email.

Sacraments for Children in Private Catholic Schools If your child a ends a Catholic School other than St. Paul School, your family is registered at St. Paul Parish and wishes to celebrate First Reconcilia on/First Eucharist or Confirma on, please contact the Parish Office of Religious Educa on.

Thank you Shamrock Volunteers! Thank you to all our parent volunteers who made personal sacrifices to ensure our largest fundraiser of the school year was an incredible success! A very special thank you to Betsy Thielmann, our PTA President and Karen Weed, Gala chairperson for their leadership. It was a beau ful evening of kinship and fundraising in support of our beloved school.

Our Parish School A Message from Dr. Ryan Killeen Over the next few days we celebrate two special feast days, St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th and St. Joseph’s Day on March 19th. These days have par cular significance for me as my middle name is Patrick and the name I chose at Confirma on is Joseph. We all walk through this life with the Saints by our side. Looking to the lives of the saints as models of faith and humility serves as a grounding

compass. My parents chose the name Patrick in honor of my Irish heritage. I’m of Irish descent which I realize comes up fairly o en. I cherish, and celebrate my personal history as should we all. I chose Joseph in honor of St. Joseph and also the Sisters of St. Joseph who taught me throughout my twelve years of Catholic school. Each year on the Feast of St. Joseph as kids we a ended mass and were welcomed into the convent by the good sisters for punch and dessert. As a father I can think of no be er model to follow than that of St. Joseph. As I am sure you are all aware the Irish community has a long tradi on of celebra ng the Feast of St. Patrick and the Italian community has an equally long tradi on of celebra ng the Feast of St. Joseph. As a parish these communi es are central to our history and founda on. The Irish came to Princeton as builders especially of the canal and many Italian families traveled here to create the beau ful Gothic stone work of the University. Our Catholic community was central to the day to day life of these immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th Century. In 1880 Msgr. Moran welcomed a small band of Irish nuns to Princeton and the story of our Catholic school began. Church and school provided community and respect in a some mes intolerant world.

The narra ve doesn’t end there. Our parish becomes richer and more vibrant each day as we celebrate the diversity of so many cultures and tradi ons as one parish family. You can keep up with Dr. Killeen’s blog posts “SPS Voice” and also listen to our new podcast series St. Paul Cast by visi ng our website, spsprinceton.org and follow on twi er @Dr.RyanKilleen.

Fake News Series This series explores the Good News of Jesus, not Fake News. It looks at

who Jesus really is – the God who became man, died for our Redemp on, and rose from the dead. It dispels myths that Jesus is just a good guy, who teaches us how to be good, is tolerant of our life choices, and chooses the path of least resistance. His Passion and Death is certainly not a path of least resistance and we are called to follow in His footsteps.

Surfer Jesus 3/18 @ 6:00pm in the St. Tim Room. This week, we'll aim to develop a deeper understanding of who Jesus is, leading us beyond their ini al “nice guy” impression and into an in mate rela onship with Jesus, the Son of God and Savior of the World.

Movie Night 4/8 @ 6:00pm in the St. Tim Room That’s right: another movie nights! Following the One8 Session and 5:00pm Mass, all 9th‐12th graders are invited to come to next movie night. We’ll be watching a movie together that encourages us to ask deeper ques ons. Pizza dinner & drinks provided!

This year, the event will take place on May 20. Youth and their families are invited to join us!

Mark your calendar with all our upcoming dates now! Any adults who are interested in ge ng involved and helping out on a regular or intermi ent basis, please email Kait for more informa on.

Choices Series All of our decisions in life lead us in one direction or another. Even choosing not to choose is making a decision. Choices dives into the very beginning of decision making and morality. It will cover what it means to make a good decision and why humanity has the ability to make decisions. The youth will learn about the consequences of

actions as well as what it looks like to live a life of virtue and how the way we live affects society as a whole.

Power Up 3/22 @ 6:0pm in the St. Tim Room. Tonight we'll discuss the spiritual realities of grace and justification and how all of the merits of Christ’s death on the cross are accessible to us through the Church.

Game Night! 4/12 @ 6:0pm in the St. Tim Room. Tonight we’ll take a break from our series to cut loose with some games.

Goose is a work of the Holy Spirit, which is awakening in the hearts of all those par cipa ng God’s love and transforming power. This is a love that

has been revealed to us by Jesus Christ and that leads us to our heavenly Father. As we walk through this series, we’ll be praying for the Spirit to breathe life into our hearts. Future dates: 4/10, 5/1, 5/22, 6/26

Magnify: The Sorrowful Mysteries Mar 27 @ 7:00 pm in the St. Tim Room. "Magnify" is a series that we developed to help us all look closer at the mysteries of the Rosary and to slow down as we pray them together. During Holy Week, we’re diving deeper into the Passion of Christ with the Sorrowful Mysteries. Join us for a night of discussion and prayer as we explore these mysteries in art, music, and wri ng while praying through the rosary.

Theology on Tap Apr 3 @ 7:00 pm at Triumph Brewery. We’re back at the brewery! Join us this month for a night food (and drink!), friends, and fun! Mark your calendar now and bring some friends ‐ the more the merrier!

Pastoral Hispana Mensaje del Padre Miguel Valle El evangelio cuenta la historia de los “adoradores” griegos que deseaban “ver” a Jesús; Jesús ya había anunciado a la mujer samaritana que el Padre buscaba adoradores que iban a adorar en Espíritu y verdad. Estos adoradores griegos, para San Juan, representaban al mundo pagano que venia a Jesús para recibir los frutos de su pasión. Mientras los griegos buscaban a Jesús con fe, los judíos seguían en su incredulidad. Esa falta de fe de los suyos es lo que causa la profunda angus a y turbación de Jesús; en ellas ve San Juan una especie de reflejo de la agonía de Jesús en el Huerto de Getsemaní que Narran los otros tres evangelios y que San Juan omite. Como aquellos griegos del evangelio, los cris anos también deseamos “ver” a Jesús, por lo menos en la Gloria; aquí ya lo vemos por medio de la fe en la Eucaris a, en los pobres, y en los que nos guían en la iglesia. Ante el deseo de aquellos gen les, Jesús responde con una oración que resume su vida y misión, y nos llama a imitarlo. Jesús a venido a darnos vida, dando su vida por nosotros. Su “hora” era la oportunidad para dar el mayor servicio a la humanidad, mostrando su amor hasta el final de modo brillante y ejemplar, en su sacrificio en la cruz.

San Juan ha escrito con sumo cuidado la respuesta de Jesús a la no cia de que deseaban verle. En medio de las dos referencias a su sacrificio y muerte, San Juan repite en el mismo versículo tres veces el verbo servir, diakoneo, en griego. El sacrificio de Jesús fue su mayor servicio para la salvación de la humanidad. La repe ción de la misma palabra tres veces es una invitación a meditar sobre su significado mas profundo. Todos estamos llamados a seguir a Jesús en el servicio. Jesús no vino a ser servido sino a servir y dar la vida para la salvación de todos. Al Cris ano, como a Jesús, le llega su “hora” cuando se presenta la ocasión u oportunidad para servir y a sacrificarse; esa hora será su oportunidad para mostrar su amor y “lucirse” o ser luz. El servicio no siempre es fácil; puede a veces parecer duro y conver rse en un

verdadero Calvario; pero cuando el servicio va inspirado y animado por un amor como el de Jesús, se convierte en algo glorioso. Nosotros los cris anos, mas que ante el dolor propio, debemos conmovernos y angus arnos ante el dolor de los demás y ante la falta de fe que nos rodea; el mirar a Jesús y el meditar en su pasión es lo único que nos dará fuerzas para sobrellevar nuestros propios dolores.
