May they experience God s healing love and comfort. March 24 th 2019, 3rd Sunday of Lent By Joan DeMerchant Introduction As we enter into the Third Sunday of Lent today s readings focus on water and on God s self-revelation to seemingly unworthy people. Those who are in most need of help, who appear to be unworthy, are those to whom life is given: the doubtful, the sinners, the impatient grumblers, the wanderers. We recognize our need for God s grace and humbly open our hearts toward this transforming love. Prayer of the Faithful Let us pray now for those in need of God s generous love. For the church: May all its members be a profound sign of God s love...as a penitent people, we pray, For those who are marginalized in any way...as a penitent people, we pray, For those whose voices are neither heard nor honored...as a penitent people, we pray, For places in the world where water is scarce or has become a source of conflict...as a penitent people, we pray, For those who are judged as unworthy, for whatever reasons...as a penitent people, we pray, For openness to changing our perception of others...as a penitent people, we pray, For the elect who are participating in the scrutiny rituals this Lent...as a penitent people, we pray, For those who are in any kind of need or pain, especially the sick, the dying and the grieving; and for those who have died... (names)...as a penitent people, we pray, Presider: God of life, we come to you as people seeking wholeness and fullness of life. We pray for ourselves and for those whose lives are fragile. Help us to not judge others and to be open to all you have to teach us. We humbly ask this in Jesus holy name. Amen. Pray that this will be the last snowflake Our parish offers Online Giving, a web based electronic contribution application. Check us out at...

5 'Simão, filho de João, tu me amas mais do que estes?' III Domingo do Tempo Pascal (Ano C): At 5,27b b-41; Sl 30(29); Ap 5,11-14; Jo 21,1-19. A aparição de Jesus ressuscitado nas margens do mar de Tiberíades revigora a missão dos discípulos de serem pescadores de gente (Lc 5,1-11). Pedro e os companheiros entram no mesmo barco, pescam a noite toda sem sucesso. Porém, de manhã, a confiança na palavra do Ressuscitado leva a encher a rede de peixes e a expressar a fé: é o Senhor. O número cento e cinquenta e três simboliza, sobretudo, o sentido universal da missão, cuja eficácia é assegurada pela comunhão com o Ressuscitado. O convite a participar da refeição, preparada pelo Senhor, abre os olhos da fé dos discípulos. Jesus, durante o ministério, havia abençoado e multiplicado pães e peixes para saciar a fome do povo (cf. Jo 6,9.11) e, agora, Pedro é chamado a apascentar e guiar as ovelhas do bom pastor. A resposta de Pedro à tríplice pergunta de Jesus revela o seu amor incondicional ao rebanho que o reconduz no caminho do discipulado, após a negação na hora da paixão (cf. 18,17-27). Segue-me é a exigência do Mestre. Os discípulos perseveram na difusão do evangelho, não obstante os desafios e perseguições, afirmando que é preciso obedecer a Deus antes que aos homens (1ª leitura). O salmista agradece a salvação recebida do Senhor, que transforma o sofrimento em festa. A 2ª leitura ressalta a soberania universal de Cristo ressuscitado, pois ele é digno de receber poder, riqueza, sabedoria, força, honra, glória e louvor. Estas sete expressões de louvor e adoração glorificam Jesus, o Cordeiro imolado, pela sua obra em favor da humanidade. A barca, as redes, os peixes, o cuidado das ovelhas, expressam o sentido missionário da Igreja. Como os discípulos, somos chamados a lançar a rede para a pesca, confiando na presença do Mestre Jesus, que nos alerta: Sem mim nada podeis fazer (Jo 15,5). Elevemos, também nós, o louvor, a honra, a glória e o poder ao Cordeiro Pascal vivo no meio de nós. Com Ele nós sentamos à sua mesa para partilharmos a sua Ceia pascal, participando plenamente da vida nova que irrompeu de sua Páscoa. Que Ele nos ajude a sermos disponíveis para servir com liberdade e alegria. Oração Deus, que o vosso povo sempre exulte pela sua renovação espiritual, para que, tendo recuperado agora com alegria a condição de filhos de Deus, espere com plena confiança o dia da ressurreição. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém.
