Actors dread being typecast-becoming so identified

with a particular kind of role (such as villain) that they aren't offered other

kinds. But you don't have to be in show business to be typecast by others:

"That's my sister, the Gossip." "My husband is a Workaholic." "My friend is

the Late One. Never on time for anything." lt can be hard to break out ofthese molds.Typecasting has no place in the spiritual life, however. Saint Paul tells us

that everyone in Christ is a "new creation" and that, just as we have been

reconciled to God, we are also called to the "ministry of reconciliation."

The father in the Prodigal Son story is a remarkable model of such behavior.

He doesn't view his son as a sinful, wasteful ingrate; instead, he nearly trips

over himself running to greet his son and throw him a huge party. The father

is the "prodigal" one-extravagant and wasteful in his love and forgiveness

for his son. During Lent, we may identify particularly with that younger son

in our need for repentance and forgiveness. But what if we try to model

ourselves after the father, who releases his son from typecasting and

welcomes him as a new creation? Can we see everyone as redeemable no

matter how many times they've frustrated, annoyed, or wounded us?

Maybe we hold a childhood grudge against our parent. Maybe our spouse

lacks communication skills. Maybe our boss just seems plain crazy. Are they

forever typecast in our minds, or might we see them as a new creation in

God? Christ gives us the ministry of reconciliation-but will we practice it?

EOTH ANNIVERSARY-APriI 2O

Very soon after our Easter Triduum celebration, there will be an 8oth

Anniversary Mass on Saturday at 4 p.m. with Bishop Larry Silva with a dinner

to follow and entertainment provided by the parish.

PARISH SCFIIPTURE GROUP-Seder fi/leal

St. Jerome (+3zo) once said, "lgnorance of the Scriptures is ignorance ofChrist." One of the High feasts of the Jewish religion is the Passover. Much of

our faith comes from Jewish teachings and traditions. Have you ever been toa Seder Meal? Do you know why Jesus 'broke the bread' and 'shared the

cup'? Do you know why the apostles were gathered with Jesus at the Last

Supper? Come and see. The Liturgy of the Easter Triduum, especially the

readings of Holy Thursday will come alive. Sign up to join our own Passover

meal Wednesday, March zTth at 6:3o p.m. (24 spaces available)

P,A.INTING UPDATEplease pardon the inconvenience. The painting is delayed due to the extensive

repairs to the concrete before the final coat can be applied. We are very grateful for

your prayers and your patience. We hope to be completed by the end of this week.

d e ar PAD Rf,

ACathnlicfrirnd of rnine raua abuttler spiitual direcwr. T[utsounds uery New Agey to ftrc, not like something a traditionalCathalic would d.o. Should euery Catholic haue one?

A spirinral director helps us live according to the grace

of God, in the light and strength of the Holy Spirit. Theidea is hardly NewAge. Saint Teresa ofAvih (1515-1582)considered it important to have one, but Saint Th6rtsse ofLisienx (1873-1897) didn't think it necessary, sayingJesuswas enough guidance for her. Spiritual directors aren'tjust for laypeople. Many priests and religiou5-2nd svsnspiritual directors-have them.

At tirnes of confusion and crisis, having a spiritual directoris a blessing. The sacrament of reconciliation can includespiritual directiqn. But a spiritual director needn't be a

priest. And because you meet regularly and get to knoweach other, your spiritual director is in a better positionthan your pastor might be to sugpst ways to help youdiscern where God is at work in your life and to help youfigure outwhere God is callingyou to grovi.

As to whether every Catholic should have a spiritualdirector, that's a matter of individual preference. If youdecide you want to try one, askyour pastor to recommendsomeone.
