STEVEN J. ALBERO, O.PRAEM., PASTOR PARISH.STNORBERT.ORG REV. JAMES C. RODIA, O.PRAEM., PAROCHIAL VICAR SCHOOL 6 GREENLAWN ROAD, PAOLI, PA 19301 DEACON HANK FILA PHONE: 610.644.1670 DEACON JOHN P. LOZANO FAX: 610.644.0201 MARY KAY HENNESSY, PRINCI PAL DEACON STEVE MARTINO SCHOOL.STNORBERT.ORG DEACON WILLIAM M. MASAPOLLO (RETIRED) Fifth Sunday of Lent The prophet Jeremiah, in today’s first reading, is looking beyond the often-messy history of Israel and Judah to a time when the people will no longer be disobedient to God, because God’s law will be “written on their hearts”—that is, their natural inclinations and desires will be oriented toward God’s will. The psalmist gives voice to the sorrow that Israel and Judah experienced in their separation from God “Have mercy on me, O God . A clean heart create for me.” According to Saint Paul, the earthly Jesus, “son though he was,” like his ethnic ancestors, he “learned obedience from what he suffered.” The Gospel reading is part of Jesus’ discourses not long before the Last Supper. Instead of a social encounter with Philip’s friends who had come to see him, Jesus is grappling with his approach- ing death and its ultimate meaning for the world. JEREMIAH: LOOKING BEYOND EXILE AND SUFFERING The readings today remind us how close we are to Easter—only two weeks from now. They also remind us that the path to resurrection and Easter always includes suffering and death. The prophet Jeremiah spent his whole life proclaiming the word of God to kings who would not lis- ten. As an old man, he saw Jerusalem defeated and the inhabitants tak- en into exile. Jeremiah himself suffered in being left behind, but in to- day’s reading, he is looking beyond those sufferings to a time when the previously disobedient people would be transformed and live in harmo- ny with God’s law. LOOKING FOR JESUS, FINDING THE CROSS In the Gospel reading, friends of Philip come to him and ask about meet- ing Jesus. When Philip and Andrew take the request to Jesus, he begins a cryptic discourse on discipleship, transformation, and divine judg- ment. We never hear whether Philip’s friends got to personally meet Je- sus. Perhaps they simply blended in with the crowd. Jesus says, “[W]hen I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” The narrator says that Jesus’ words indicate how he will die; the readers already know Jesus will be crucified. Jesus also speaks of divine judgment driv- ing out the world’s rulers and of the need to be transformed, like a seed growing into a productive plant. He warns about loving our life and losing it. Unlike Jeremiah’s detailed vision, Jesus only hints at what kind of transformed life his death will bring. What if we, like Philip’s friends, want to get close to Jesus? Does that mean that the discourse on death and judgment is addressed to us? If Jesus will draw everyone to himself as he is “lifted up,” does being closer to him mean joining him on his cross? (Do we want to be that close to Jesus?) Do we want to be transformed? If we say “yes,” the liturgy these next two weeks can show us the only way the Church knows to get closer to Jesus: to be willing to be “lifted up” with him in his suffering—and in our own. Today’s Readings: Jer 31:31–34; Ps 51:3–4, 12–13, 14–15; Heb 5:7–9; Jn 12:20–33 Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

  • Dear Parents and Guaarddians
    May 2011 Volume Twenty Number 9 Dear Parents and Guardians, Can you believe that another school year is about to past into history? Due to the school’s pace, things around here seem to pass all too quickly. I wish you and your son a most successful end to this year and a wonderful summer. I look forward to seeing many familiar faces when fall arrives. Special congratulations to our Senior Class who will bring their Lasallian education to a completion on June 5, 2011. The class will gather for two final celebrations at their Baccalaureate Mass on Friday, June 4, 2011 and Commencement Exercises the following morning at 10:00 am. The Class of 2011 has truly been a special group. They are a class that has accomplished much, while building a strong bond among them. It is a pleasure to see how they respect one another and encourage the various God-given talents found in each other. Without question the faculty, staff and administration are going to miss the Class of 2011. I wish each senior only the best as they move on to yet bigger challenges in their lives. I cannot forget the underclassmen that have completed their respective academic years as they have risen to academic challenges and proven their worth. Congratulations to these young men as they prepare for their “promotion” day. I also wish to express my appreciation to our many coaches and moderators on yet another successful season. Often we forget the successes of our students both on and off the fields. This year, La Salle can proudly boast of our success in regional band competitions along with the ever growing successes of our student Lab Manager Program and their Microsoft certifications.

MASAPOLLO (RETIRED) The Epiphany of the Lord When I tell a story, I have a friend who prefers the “nutshell version” first. After that she’ll listen to me ram- ble, but she wants to know the main point right off the bat. When reading and hearing Sunday scriptures one may often find the nutshell by looking at the responsorial psalm or the Gospel acclamation.
