Fourth Sunday of Lent (Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 — Ephesians 5:8-14 — John 9:1-14 ) Anointing — David was anointed with oil by Samuel, and “from that day on, the spirit of the Lord rushed upon David.” One of the many peaceful images in today’s Psalm is, “You anoint my head with oil.” Jesus made mud and spread it on the eyes of the blind man. Because of the material used, it is hard to rec- ognize this gesture as anointing. But it is hard to see it otherwise when we consider its purpose. Jesus says the man was born blind “so that the works of God might be made visible through him.” He adds, “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” St. Paul applies the same idea to us: “You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord... Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness.” At La Salette, Mary, who was “all light,” empowered two children to accomplish a mission. That, too, was a kind of anointing. And her message reminds us of our Christian identity, sadly neglected by so many of those she calls “my people,” but who are still caught up in darkness. All of us were anointed in the name of Christ, not once but twice, in the sacrament of Baptism, with the oil of salvation, so that we might “live always as a member of his body, sharing everlasting life.” Indeed, it is only through the Beautiful Lady’s Son that we can hope to produce, as St. Paul writes, “every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.” We can look to Jesus to guide us in right paths for his name’s sake. The story of the man born blind raises many questions—sixteen, to be exact—most notably: What do you have to say about Jesus? Do you want to be his disciple? Do you believe in the Son of Man? Who is he, that I may believe in him? We would do well to reflect privately on these questions. It might, however, be more interesting, stimulating and profitable to ask them of each other, perhaps in a time of faith-sharing. The “La Salette question” is: Do you say your prayers well? In prayer let us present ourselves to be anointed, so that, through us, “the works of God might be made visible.” A noble ambition, indeed! Fr. René Butler, M.S., and Wayne Vanasse

Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before me; your throne shall stand firm forever (2 Sam 7:16).

My Sisters and Brothers in Christ:

Throughout the Dioceses within the state of Florida, effective at the end of day, regularly scheduled celebration of Masses and other liturgical events for the faithful in parish churches and other public sanctuaries are suspended until further notice in cooperation with efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Visitation to the churches to pray is also suspended. Any parish event or ministry event – e.g. prayer groups, bible studies, etc. – are suspended or postponed.

Funerals, or other celebrations which perhaps cannot be postponed - baptisms or weddings - may be celebrated with immediate family members only who are not sick and are not advised by their doctors to self-quarantine.

Priests will celebrate daily Mass for the intentions of the faithful albeit without their presence. Also, priests and other parish staff – who are not sick or otherwise advised to self-quarantine – while exercising prudence and observing social distancing will be available to the faithful at the parish offices.

For emergency situations, parishioners are invited to communicate with a priest, deacon or available staff by phone or by email. Par- ish staff will work with parishioners to identify a priest for their pastoral needs such as sick calls, request for the Sacrament of Pen- ance, etc. Priests will respond to hospital calls or calls from other health facilities and will cooperate with that hospital or facility by following proper protocols as required (wearing of masks, gloves, protective clothing, etc.).

Catholics can make an Act of Spiritual Communion It has long been a Catholic understanding that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion which is a source of grace. Spiritual Communion means uniting one’s self in prayer with Christ’s sacrifice and worshiping Him in His Body and Blood. The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Resources are available to help the faithful remain in prayer and draw near to God during this holy season of Lent. These resources are posted below and this list will be updated as we learn more from our parishes.

Unción Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma 1 Samuel 16:1‐13; Efesios 5:8‐14; Juan 9:1‐41 David fue ungido con óleo por Samuel, y “desde aquel día, el espíritu del Señor descendió sobre David”. Una de las muchas imágenes de paz está en el salmo de hoy, “unges con óleo mi cabeza”. Jesús hizo barro y lo puse sobre los ojos del hombre ciego. Debido al material usado, es dicil reconocer este ges- to como una unción. Pero es dicil verlo de otro modo cuando consideramos su propósito. Jesús dijo del hombre que había nacido ciego “para que se manifiesten en él las obras de Dios”. Añade, “Mientras estoy en el mundo, soy la luz del mundo”. San Pablo aplica en nosotros la misma idea: “Ustedes eran nieblas, pero ahora son luz en el Señor... No parcipen de las obras estériles de las nieblas”. En La Salee, María, la que era “toda de luz” empoderó a dos niños para que cumplan una misión. Aquella, tam- bién, era una forma de unción. Y su mensaje nos hace conscientes de nuestra idendad crisana, tristemente descuidada por tantos de aquellos a los que ella llama “mi pueblo”, pero que todavía están atrapados en las nieblas. Todos nosotros fuimos ungidos en el nombre de Cristo, no una vez sino dos, en el sacramento del Bausmo, con el óleo de la salvación, “para que incorporados a su pueblo y permaneciendo unidos a Cristo, vivamos eterna- mente”. De verdad, es sólo por medio del Hijo de la Bella Señora que nosotros podemos producir, como San Pablo escribe, los frutos de “la bondad, la juscia y la verdad”. Podemos ver en Jesús, al que nos guía por los justos sende- ros. El relato del hombre ciego de nacimiento levanta muchas preguntas – dieciséis, para ser exactos – las más rele- vantes: ¿Qué dices de Jesús? ¿Quieres hacerte discípulo suyo? ¿Crees en el Hijo del hombre? ¿Quién es, para que crea en él? Haríamos bien en reflexionar estas preguntas en privado. Pudiera, sin embargo, ser más interesante, esmulante y de provecho hacérnoslas mutuamente, talvez en los momentos de oración y de comparr de fe. La “pregunta Saletense” es: ¿Hacen bien sus oraciones? En oración presentémonos para recibir la unción, para que así, por medio de nosotros “se manifiesten las obras de Dios”. ¡Una ambición verdaderamente noble! Traducción: Hno. Moisés Rueda, M.S.
