CLERGY FATHER ANTONIO CACCIAPUOTI Pastor FATHER ALBERT BAHHUTH Priest-In-Residence FATHER TONY MARTI, OFM Cap. Weekend Presider DEACON AUGIE WON Permanent Deacon The New You Lent is our chance to leave our old ways behind and adopt a new way of life. When Easter comes, what will the new you be like? Be a more positive thinker. This is the keystone habit that will help you form the other important habits. Squash negative thinking and trust that God will work with you to accomplish goals you set that are in harmony with his will. Focus on what’s important. First, identify what is most important to you – family, friends, faith, and so on. Then eliminate everything else. Not only will you be free to focus on what is most important, this habit will spill over into other areas of your life, such as tasks, projects, and communication. Find a powerful prayer routine. The best prayer routines are the ones we follow every day. A firm, daily routine helps you focus on what’s important, not just what comes up. Make sure to concentrate on Scripture and add time to listen, too. Add kindness. Kindness is genuinely caring for others, wanting the best for them, and taking action to demonstrate that caring. Each day, make a decision to add an act of kindness to your day. Let someone go ahead of you in line, give a sincere compliment to a stranger, praise a coworker’s effort, greet a passerby. Jesus Always Gives More Than We Ask During his time on Earth, Jesus exceeded people’s expectations. He always gave more than was asked – but exactly what was needed. A paralyzed man sought a cure for his body but Jesus cured his soul (Mark 2:1-12). A man’s friends brought him to Jesus to heal his body, but Jesus forgave his sins. As God, Jesus has the power to heal. As man, he identifies with our deepest needs and gives us what is required to overcome them. A widow needed strength to bury her son but Jesus gave him life (Luke 7:11-17). God’s love for us is bigger than we can imagine and moves him to shower us with miracles. Invited to attend a wedding, he elevated the marriage to a Sacrament (John 2:1-12). At his Mother’s request, Jesus blessed a new marriage by replenishing their empty wine stocks with better refreshment than they could have imagined. When we ask for her help, she makes sure her Son gives us what we need and more than we can imagine. “Please Forgive Me!” Throughout history, there has been only one person who never made mistakes. The rest of us make plenty but few of us are comfortable with asking for forgiveness for them. Yet owning up to our mistakes is a big step toward preventing their recurrence. Try this: Start by looking at the other person when you apologize. This communicates that you know you have caused harm and are ready to accept the consequences of your behavior. Name the actions for which you are sorry. Be specific. Assure the other person that the actions won’t happen again and detail the steps you will take to rectify any harm you caused. Remember – true contrition involves making amends for your sin. Give some visible sign that you are sincerely sorry. Shake hands or give a touch on the shoulder. Such an action will help start the healing of your relationship. Taking steps to achieve sincere contrition and forgiveness will help you grow in holiness as you work to eliminate an occasion of sin.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY IS CELEBRATED IN PARENT ED
Children celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by making shamrock shakers. The decorated shakers were then used in performing the “St. Patrick’s Pokey”
You shake your shamrock high, You shake your shamrock low, You shake your shamrock high; then you shake it to and fro. You do the St. Patrick’s Pokey and you turn yourself around. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Welcome Back Fr. Matt! Former student Father Matt Elshoff returned to St. Bede School to accept a $1,000 gift from the students at St. Bede to St. Lawrence of Brindisi School in Watts, where Fr. Matt is currently the Pastor. The check was presented to Fr. Matt by the Student Council. The check was presented after First Friday Mass that was prepared by the 3rd grade class. Fr. Matt shared with the students the everyday struggles that the students at St. Lawrence go through and how fortunate they are to be at a Catholic School.

Sharing the Gospel One night when Jesus prayed, Jesus showed Peter, James and John what he would look like in heaven. Jesus' face changed and his clothes glowed brightly. Jesus even talked to Moses and Elijah, who had gone to heaven many years earlier. Jesus was different. He was from God! Prayer Dear Jesus, I can hardly wait to see what Find something that glows in the dark. you really look like in heaven. As you see it in a dark room, imagine how Amen. brightly Jesus must have glowed. Around the Campus — Cont.
