MASS INTENTIONS Monday, March 9 A Word From Our Pastor 7:00 a.m. Donald Pollvogt Tuesday, March 10 Dear Friends, 7:00 a.m. Fr. Charles Burgoon Wednesday, March 11 Each year as Lent begins, a lot of old reactions take place. I think Lent is 7:00 a.m. Sharon Angello supposed to be a time when I do something to please God. I know that Thursday, March 12 really isn’t the meaning of Lent, but it has been kind of ingrained in me 7:00 a.m. Patricia D. Vogt and I imagine in many of us. Friday, March 13 7:00 a.m. Chuck Korpics A Lenten Preface, the prayer before the Holy, Holy, Holy says, 8:00 a.m. Mary Ann Barry “Each year you bid your faithful people cleanse their hearts and prepare Saturday, March 14 with joy for the paschal feast. By more faithful prayer and works of charity 5:00 p.m. Joyce O’Neill Flynn and by celebrating the mysteries of our rebirth, we are led to the fullness Sunday, March 15 of grace as your sons and daughters.” 7:30 a.m. Pro Populo 9:00 a.m. Charles & Marie Hayden This sets the tone for Lent and what God can do with us rather than what 11:00 a.m. Heidenfelder Family we can do for God. We are asking God to cleanse our minds and hearts as 5:00 p.m. Hank Luepke we prepare with joy, joy for the high feast days to come. It is the “fullness of God’s grace” that leads us “eagerly intent” on prayer to the saving mysteries that have made us “born again”. I think you get the spirit and Lenten Resources promise of Lenten observance. Develop your spiritual life and relationship with God by focusing on Pray, Rather than what I give up maybe I need to see what I receive. By being Fast and Give! Use websites and apps more intent on prayer and works of charity I discover the fullness of grace- to optimize your Lenten practices. God’s life with me. By experiencing the Readings and Liturgies of Lent I am reliving the mysteries of my rebirth and salvation. Maybe this is what (Links are provided ‘I do” during Lent and this gets me closer to experiencing what God wants on the ucitylourdes.org website) to give me, rather than what I try to give God.

Welcome to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish | 3 Second Sunday of Lent March 8, 2020

Rediscover the Saints - Week 2 Chapters 1 - 5 The Saints are people who chose to live lives of boldness and passion as they continually sought opportunities to be the person God created them to be. Let’s continue our weekly endeavor to rediscover the saints and how they can lead us to that relationship with God.

Read a chapter every other day this week; take time to think and reflect on our lives as saints.

St. Augustine: Augustine led a life of self-indulgence and promiscuity, persistently rejecting the Christian faith, eloquently arguing against the Church’s teachings and following the duality of Manicheanism which disputed the power and omnipotence of God. However, under the instruction of St. Ambrose and through the prayers of his mother, St. Monica, Augustine converted to Christianity and became a Bishop and prolific writer on faith and morals, the human condition and God’s love and forgiveness. Reflection: What do you believe about your past that is keeping you from your future? & In what areas of your life have you abandoned God? Why? & Did you have a turning point in your life, like St. Augustine? Do you still need one now?

Walter: There is nothing as miraculous, empowering, humbling or terrifying as becoming a parent. In the first moments of the new life, now our responsibility and privilege, source of joy and heartache, we can catch the slightest glimmer of the overwhelming, all-encompassing love that God has for us. Find a quiet place and allow God to love you. Experience that of which our love is but a shadow. Reflection: Have you ever allowed yourself to rest in God’s love? & In what ways does God show you the power of his love? & When were you first drawn into a relationship with God? & Are you being called into a deeper relationship with him now?

Irenaeus: “The Glory of God is man fully alive.” These words of St. Irenaeus, who lived in the second century, are relevant and revealing even today. God is concerned with all aspects of our lives - physical, emotional, intel- lectual and spiritual. When we accept the invitation to be fully alive, we find ourselves in the company of a God who meets us where we are and walks with us through our lives. Reflection: When was the last time you felt fully alive? And why? & What is preventing you from being fully alive? & How do you think living life to the fullest glorifies God?

Benedict: Written in 516, the Rule of St. Benedict meticulously directs the lives of the Benedictine monks, teaching how to live in community by routine, and prayer and work. Routine is important in grounding us in proper behavior, consistency in relationship, and fortitude in action. By adapting these routines to our faith lives, all aspects of our lives will flourish. Reflection: Do your daily routines reinvigorate you? & Have you ever experienced the effects of a good daily routine? What was it like? & How can you incorporate the motto “Ora et Labora” (“Pray and Work”) into your everyday life?

Teresa of Avila: Although she was a Carmelite nun and a mystic, Teresa was very aware of the world and the struggles of the day to day lives of everyday people. Her relationship with God was personal - she considered God her friend and spoke with Him through prayer, conversationally and intimately. Once, when complaining in prayer to Jesus about the suffering she was enduring, she observed, “If this is how you treat your friends, no won- der you don’t have many!” Reflection: Have you ever been taught how to pray? & How does thinking about prayer as a conversation with God change the way you approach prayer? & When you pray, do you do all the talking or do you spend time lis- tening?
