SCRIPTURE READINGS AND INTENTIONS

P A R I S H C A L E N D A R


Third Sunday of Lent

(Readings: Exodus 17:3-7 — Romans 5:1-2, 5-8 — John 4:5-42) Hallowed be… — Every time we recite the Lord’s Prayer, we say, Hallowed be thy name. This is raised as a concern by Our Lady of La Salette, in two distinct contexts. First she expresses her sadness at the abuse of her

Son’s name. Later, she encourages the children to say at least an Our Father and a Hail Mary in their night and morning prayers. This is also her way of reminding us of the Commandment: You shall not take the name

of the Lord, your God, in vain. Interestingly, the notion of “hallow” occurs in the next commandment: Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day. Our Lady reminds us of this commandment as well. ‘Hallow’ and ‘holy’ are what linguists call cognate words. Like ‘strengthen’ and ‘strong,’ one is a verb and the other an

adjective to express the same idea. In the Gospel, Jesus was angry that the Temple, his Father’s house, was being turned into a marketplace. The very place that contained the Holy of Holies was not being kept holy.

The sellers of sacrificial animals had forgotten God’s word to Solomon: “I have consecrated this house which you have built and I set my name there forever; my eyes and my heart shall be there always” (1 Kings 9:3).

The reading from St. Paul is from the first chapter of First Corinthians. The letter opens with Paul addressing “the church of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy.”

Coming so early in the letter, it states the theme of much that is to follow. Later In the same letter he writes: “The temple of God, which you are, is holy.” Without using those words, Mary surely has that same notion in

mind when she speaks of “my people.” There can be no doubt that she means the people ransomed by her Son, called to be “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own” (1 Peter 2:19). Jesus taught us to pray, “Hallowed be thy name.” This is a promise on our part to hallow it. In that same spirit of

commitment we might add: Hallowed be thy day; Hallowed be thy house; Hallowed be thy people.

"URGENT NEED FOR MINISTERS TO THE SICK FOR ORMC" Were you aware that Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharis c at Blessed Trinity go to the Orlando Health every Tuesday morning as Ministers to the Sick? Our parishioners been doing this for years. In 2017 several of these dedicated people have been compelled to leave this hospital ministry for various reasons including poor health and family needs. We thank those ministers for their long, devoted service. Currently, we are shorthanded and in dire need of ministers for Orlando Health. If you can devote one or more Tuesday mornings per month to this ministry, please contact Susan Tisdale at either [email protected] or via telephone at 410-336-3361 for more informa on about this ministry. Our goal is to send 3 ministers to the hospital every Tuesday morning. Thank you for considering this call to service and may God bless you.

Please join Bishop John Noonan in prayer for the 40 Days for Life!

Saturday, March 10th 9:30 - 10:30 AM

Altamonte Springs 40 Days for Life vigil site

431 Maitland Ave, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701


At the 10:00am Mass this weekend, our elect at Blessed

Trinity celebrated the First Scru ny. Three scru nies are

celebrated on the Third, Fourth, and Fi h Sundays of

Lent. The scru nies are meant to help uncover and heal

all that is weak, defec ve, or sinful in the lives of the

elect, as well as bring out and strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good. They are celebrated

in order to deliver the elect from tempta on and evil, 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. Each year, the texts and scripture readings for the scru nies come from Cycle A of the

lec onary, because these help expose our growing need for God. The gospel readings are the

gospel of the Samaritan woman at the well for the first scru ny, the gospel of the man born blind

for the second scru ny, and the gospel of the raising of Lazarus for the third scru ny.

The Transforming Power of Authen c Love Have you ever longed for something “more” in your life? Would you like Jesus to encounter you in a deep way this Lent? During this mission we will delve into the powerful truths of Christ’s love for us, His desire to heal us and set us free and how He empowers us to bring His love to others. Through Scripture, catechism, art, and beauty we will journey to the heart of our deepest desire: communion with the One who loves us. Please make plans to join us March 5-7 for St. James Cathedral Lenten Parish Mission featuring Sr. Miriam James SOLT!

Santificado sea… Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma Génesis 9:8-15; 1 Corintios 1:22-25; Juan 2:23-25 Cada vez que recitamos la Oración del Señor, decimos, Santificado sea tu nombre. Esto se nos presenta como una preocupación por Nuestra Señora de La Salette, en dos contextos distintos. Primero ella expresa su tristeza por el mal uso del nombre de su Hijo. Luego, ella anima a los niños a decir por lo menos un Padre Nuestro y un Ave María en sus oraciones por la noche y por la mañana. Es también una manera de hacernos recordar el Mandamiento: No tomarás el nom-bre del Señor, tu Dios, en vano. De manera interesante, la noción de “santificar” se presenta en el próximo mandamiento: “Acuérdate del Sábado para santificarlo (consagrarlo)”. Nuestra Señora nos recuerda del mismo modo este mandamiento. “Santificar” y “Santo” son lo que los lingüistas llaman palabras relacionadas. Como “fortalecer” y “fuerte”, una es el verbo y la otra es un adjetivo para expresar la misma idea. En el Evangelio, Jesús estaba enojado porque el Templo, la casa de su Padre, se haya convertido en un mercado. El mismísimo lugar que contenía el Santo de los Santos no se mantenía santo. Los mer-caderes de los animales para el sacrificio se habían olvidado de la palabra de Dios a Salomón "Yo he santificado esta casa que tú has edificado, para poner mi nombre en ella para siempre; y en ella es-tarán mis ojos y mi corazón eternamente. (1Reyes 9:3). La lectura de San Pablo viene del primer capítulo de la Primera Carta a los Corintios. La carta comienza con Pablo dirigiéndose a “la iglesia de Dios que está en Corinto, a ustedes que han sido santificada en Cristo Jesús, llamados a ser santos”. Al comienzo mismo de la carta se establece el tema de la mayor parte de lo que continua. Más tarde en la misma carta escribe: “El Templo de Dios, que son ustedes, es santo” Sin usar estas palabras, María con seguridad tiene la misma noción en su mente cuando habla de “mi pueblo” no hay duda de que ella se refiere al pueblo rescatado por su Hijo, llamado a ser “una raza escogida, un sacerdocio real, una nación santa, el pueblo de su herencia” (1Pedro 2:19) Jesús nos enseñó a rezar, “Santificado sea tu nombre”. Esta es una promesa a ser santificada por nosotros. En ese mismo espíritu de compromiso podríamos añadir: Santificado sea tu día; Santificada sea tu casa; Santificado sea tu pueblo.

para enviar a las tropas. *Galletas *tarjetas de juego *Palomitas de maíz *Libros de cómicas *Queso curls/Beef Jerky *Paquetes individuales de klenex *Bolsitas de frezar *Paquetes de limpiador de manos *Paquetes pequeños de galletas o maní *Paquetes pequeños de nueces, pretzel *Dulce duro/coma de mascar *paquetes pequeños de crema bronceadora *Sobres de sabor para poner en el agua *protección labial *Tarjetas en blanco *Ayuda económica para el gasto de envió Estas cosas tan insignificantes que muchos tomamos por dado, son las que pueden hacer a nuestros hombres y mujeres sirviendo en el ejército sentirse más cerca de sus hogares. Si conoces algún soldado que este sirviendo fuera del país, y te gustaría que recibieran un paquete, por favor dar su nombre y dirección a Pat Matteson 407-733-3069 o en la Oficina Parroquial. Por favor pongan donaciones en las cajas rojas o traerlas al Centro de Bienvenida Margadas “Troop Care Packs” para el 16 de marzo. Las cajas serán empacadas el sábado marzo 17 de manera que le lleguen para Easter. ¡Que el Señor los Bendiga y gracias por su apoyo!

Colecta Cuaresmal de Zapatos En esta Cuaresma, la Oficina de la Misión está solicitando que los feligreses gener-osos de la parroquia consideren dar a los niños de nuestra diócesis hermana en la Re-publica Dominicana un segundo par de zapatos escolares. Los estudiantes van desde los 4 años hasta los 17. Los caminos de las montañas se comen los zapatos mientras recorren grandes distancias. Intentan guardar sus zapatos escolares (los que envían) para la es-

cuela y usar sandalias la mayoría de las veces. Pero, los caminos de montaña son difíciles para los zapatos. Ellos aprecian tu generosidad. Pueden dejar los zapatos nuevos en el Narthex de la iglesia o llevarlos a la oficina de la parroquia durante las horas de oficina. ¡Muchas gracias por su continua generosidad!

Servicio Penitencial Cuaresmal Martes 13 de marzo a las 7 p.m. Toda la parroquia está invitada a venir y tomar parte en el sacramento de la Reconciliación. La Cuaresma es un empo de penitencia y renovación. Dios quiere lavarnos de nuestros pecados y restaurar la vida espiritual dentro de nuestras almas. Cuando llega la Pascua, Cristo puede en-trar más libremente en nosotros y permi r que el Espíritu Santo nos fortalezca a través del don de la gracia. Habrá un buen número de sacerdotes ofreciendo confesión en inglés y español.
