TODAY: Metanoia by Gerald Darring We are prodigal children. We have in many ways squandered
our Father’s inheritance. Provided with a wonderful garden
to live in, we poison its air, we pollute its water, we erode its
topsoil.
Provided with a wonderful family with whom to share our
lives, we condemn many of our family members to survival-
level existence, we refuse to associate with many of them, and
we contribute to the death of many of them.
Lent is a time to ‘pass over,’ to pass from the world of
injustice we have created over to a world of reconciliation. It
is a time to “turn hatred to love, conflict to peace, death to
eternal life.”
We know that such a turn can take place because we have a
Father who sees us while we are still a long way off, who
catches sight of us and is deeply moved, who will run out to
meet us, throw his arms around our necks and kiss us.
We know that such a turn can take place because Jesus Christ
brought mankind the gift of reconciliation by the suffering
and death he endured.
The message of Lent, therefore, is clear: “We implore you, in
Christ’s name: be reconciled to God.”
The first step, of course, is to do what the younger son did: “I
will break away and return to my father, and say to him,
‘Father, I have sinned against you.’”
Such a confession will enable us to “hasten toward Easter with
the eagerness of faith and love,” and it will make possible the
rejoicing which today’s liturgy foretells and encourages.
“This kingdom and this salvation ... are available to every
human being as grace and mercy, and yet at the same time
each individual must gain them. ... through toil and suffering,
through a life lived according to the gospel, through
abnegation and the cross, through the spirit of the beatitudes.
But above all each individual gains them through a total
interior renewal which the gospel calls metanoia; it is a radical
conversion, a profound change of mind and heart.” Pope Paul
VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 10, 1975.

Archbishop Cordileone says, “Ultimately, the ‘light being on’

God’s desire for reconciliation with them and His great
delight in bestowing His mercy upon them.”

ARCHDIOCESAN ANNUAL APPEAL 2019
WE ARE CALLED TO CARE AND TO SHARE
We have recently begun our 2019 Archdiocesan Annual
Appeal, and everyone's participation is essential to the
success. Each of us is asked to make a return to the Lord for
His many gifts to us, with a special effort to give a
proportionate gift to support the works of the Church in
providing essential services to our parishes, providing
religious education to young people, and strengthening the
faith of our young adults.
I ask you to prayerfully consider supporting this year’s
Appeal. Your generosity makes a tangible difference in
people’s lives, and I thank you for your demonstrations of
faith that continue to inspire me." Our parish goal for this
year’s Annual Appeal is $170,727. We have collected
$37,355.
If you haven’t already received the AAA mailing and would
like to participate please either pick up an envelope in the
Church or visit the AAA webpage at sfarchdiocese.org/AAA
to donate. All envelopes should be mailed to the
Archdiocese directly. Thank you for your generosity.
