GOD FORGIVES The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you.” After forty years of wandering in the desert, this hard-headed people have finally reached the Promised Land. No more do they eat the manna in the desert, but they partake of the fruits of their new homeland. God has kept the prom-ise to their parents in Egypt. Even though they were a sinful people, many times questioning God and even worshiping false gods, God has forgiven them and fulfilled the promise. The “take-away” for us is that there is no sin that is unforgivable. We may have of-fended our neighbors, given a bad example to some-one, even worshiped the false gods of money and power. But God is a merciful God, true to the words spoken to us. God forgives all and calls us back to love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES

Sunday: Fourth Sunday of Lent; Second Scrutiny Monday: April Fool’s Day

Tuesday: St. Francis of Paola Thursday: St. Isidore of Seville Friday: St. Vincent Ferrer; First Friday; Abstinence Saturday: First Saturday

What are the Scrutinies?

The scrutinies are mainly for the “elect” (catechumens become “elect” after the Rite of Election at the beginning of Lent). But the faithful are encouraged to join in the scrutinies (observed the Third, Fourth and Fifth Sundays of Lent) to also benefit from them. We are all in need of conversion throughout our lives, so we join with the “elect” in scrutinizing our lives and pray for the grace to overcome the power of sin that infects our hearts.

The scrutinies, which are solemnly celebrated on Sundays and are reinforced by an exorcism, are rites of self-searching and repentance and have above all a spiritual purpose. The scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good. For the scrutinies are celebrated in order to deliver the elect from the power of sin and Satan, to protect them against temptation, and to

give them strength in Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. These rites, therefore, should complete the conversion of the elect and deepen their resolve to hold fast to Christ and to carry out their decision to love God above all."

In order to inspire in the elect a desire for purification and redemption by Christ, three scrutinies are celebrated. By this means, first of all, the elect are instructed gradually about the mystery of sin, from which the whole world and every person longs to be delivered and thus saved from its present and future consequences. Second, their spirit is filled with Christ the Redeemer, who is the living water (gospel of the Samaritan woman in the first scrutiny), the light of the world (gospel of the man born blind in the second scrutiny), the resurrection and the life (gospel of Lazarus in the third scrutiny). From the first to the final scrutiny the elect should progress in their perception of sin and their desire for salvation.

This information is from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) document.

Bishop W. Shawn McKnight invites you to attend our annual Chrism Mass at Cathedral Church of St. Joseph, 2215 W.

The Oil of the Sick and the Oil of the Catechumens are blessed and the Sacred Chrism is consecrated at this time. These Holy Oils impact the lives of those who are preparing to enter into the Church, those who are ill, and all preparing for Confirmation and Holy Orders.

Three listening sessions with Bishop Shawn McKnight will be held in our Diocese, including one in Spanish, to assist the bishop in preparing for a special report to the Holy See on the state of the diocese. Please consider attending one of these sessions to provide Bishop McKnight with your reflections in a facilitated conversation around a series of questions which you can find at http://bit.ly/DIOJC-Q. You can find more information in the Catholic Missourian and on the diocesan website at diojeffcity.org. The English-language sessions are March 28, 6:30 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Joseph, 2215 W. Main St., Jefferson City, and March 29, 6:30 p.m.: Immaculate Conception Church, 402 N. Rollins, Macon. The Spanish-language session is April 5, 7 p.m.: St. Peter Church, 1801 S.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today, “Laetare Sunday,” breaks the somberness of Lent for a little rejoicing, and the readings all summon us to an awareness of reconciliation. One of the best-loved stories of our tradition is today’s Gospel story of the runaway son and the prodigal father. Prodigal, of course, is an adjective meaning “spendthrift or extravagant to a degree bordering on recklessness,” and although the boy maxes out the credit cards, it is really the father who is prodigal with forgiveness. Part of the excitement of this Laetare Sunday is rooted in the ancient catechumenate. Long ago, midway through Lent, the “elect” were focusing more and more on the gift of reconciliation accomplished for them by Christ and about to be realized in the Easter sacraments they were preparing to celebrate. In some places, the elect were even bedecked with roses on this day. A person bedecked with roses sticks out in a crowd; a person formed by the Eucharist and committed to living a life of reconciliation does, too. That’s you!
