JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH / ORLANDO, FL GOSPEL MEDITATION 7th Sunday of Easter/The Ascension of the Lord GOSPEL MEDITATION ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE God remains where love remains. When a believer Life can easily erode our faith. Think of your life over the realizes without doubt that God is love, it is a powerful last couple of weeks. What challenged your faith and moment. Being able to place our resurrecon trust in this distracted your divine glance? Even being overly fundamental truth allows us to experience God’s smulated with technology and social media can erode presence in all of our experiences: the good and the bad, our sense of confidence and cause us to forget who we posive and negave, life enriching and destrucve really are. We need to distance ourselves from the world events we encounter. It is no wonder that St. Paul so in order to experience the joy that Christ offers. The accurately tells us that it is love that endures all things world will never like the word of God. It is too and lasts. How can God not endure or ever fade away? challenging and too perplexing. The world mistakenly Because he is God, Jesus also guarded and protected his believes that it can survive on its own. It is a mistaken disciples as the endearing shepherd who always had their judgment that may cost people a lot in the end. It is all so best interest at heart. very simple: God remains when we love one another. If in all the business of our lives and all that each day If we become too immersed in the world, we lose touch brings, the good and the bad, we follow the call and path with these deeper realies. We can become so of love, we will walk with God. There is nothing to fear preoccupied with preserving what we have created or and anxiety finds no home. think that we need, forgeng that it is not building our city that really maers, but God’s. Jesus clearly did not ©LPi belong to the world and, by virtue of his resurrecon, he tries to get us to understand that we do not either. The truth brings us to other worldly, more divine places and takes our eyes off of the concerns that o en capvate our fears and storm our senses. 3 ST.

  • Lent & Easter Season
    LENT/EASTER SEASON February 22, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? At its root, Lent is a name for Spring, and is a 40-day period of preparation for Easter Sunday and one of the major liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. A penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence, and almsgiving, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The color of Lent is purple; The six Sundays in Lent are not part of the Lenten fast, and thus we say there are 40 days of Lent – a biblical number – while there are really 46; The Stations of the Cross are a devotion imitating a pilgrimage with Jesus to commemorate 14 key events around the crucifixion; Because of the solemnity of Lent, the Gloria and Alleluia are not said or sung. March 1, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? During Lent the Church is called to embrace a spirit of repentance and metanoia (“a change of heart”) or conversion. There are many opportunities for prayer – communally or individually – such as: Daily Mass (communal) Stations of the Cross (communal and individual) The Rosary (communal and individual) Liturgy of the Hours (individual) Reconciliation (communal and individual) Adoration of the Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel every Friday (individual) Free web Lent program offered by Dynamic Catholic—sign up at BestLentEver.com. March 8, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? The next four weeks of “What’s This” will be highlighting specific components that lead up through the Easter Vigil. Palm Sunday – March 29: The liturgical color of Palm Sunday is red. Red signifies Christ’s Passion; The Palm Sunday liturgy begins with an additional Gospel highlighting the jubilant entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem; The palms are ancient symbols of victory and hope, as well as new life; The Palm Sunday liturgy takes on a more somber tone with the second Gospel reading of Christ’s Passion; The blessed palms received this day should be discarded as other blessed articles.

    Happy Easter May your Easter be happy, May your day be bright, May you enjoy the treats, And sweets delights. But remember the meaning, Remember God’s gift, Remember the resurrection, May your soul uplift. Easter Message Easter morning bright and fair Tells me of God’s loving care. Flowers that were gone from view Now awakening, bloom anew. Though God’s face I do not see, I will trust His care for me. Jesus Lives Just because He loved us so Jesus died once long ago. But He rose on Easter Day, Now let all his children say: “Jesus lives! Jesus lives! Oh, I’m happy! Jesus lives!” Just because He loved us so Jesus died once long ago. But He rose on Easter Day, Now let all his children say: “Jesus lives! Jesus lives! Oh, I’m happy! Jesus lives!” Easter Day Christ the Lord is risen today!

CATECHETICAL RESOURCES IX. APPENDIX I. WHY ST. JOSEPH? WHY NOW? On December 8, 1870, The Sacred Congregation of Rites promulgated the following decree, which communicated the decision of Pope Pius IX to declare St. Joseph Patron of the Universal Church, and which also raised St. Joseph’s feast of March 19 to the rank of double of the first class. Quemadmodum Deus Pope Pius IX As almighty God appointed Joseph, son of the patriarch Jacob, over all the land of Egypt to save grain for the people, so when the fullness of time had come and he was about to send to earth his only- begotten Son, the Savior of the world, he chose another Joseph, of whom the first had been the type, and he made him the lord and chief of his household and possessions, the guardian of his choicest treasures. Indeed, he had as his spouse the Immaculate Virgin Mary, of whom was born by the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ our Lord, who deigned to be reputed in the sight of men as the son of Joseph, and was subject to him. Him whom countless kings and prophets had desired to see, Joseph not only saw but conversed with, and embraced in paternal affection, and kissed.
