St. Marguerite Middle Schoolers Have Fun in the SON (and the sun) At “Catholic Fest” This past Saturday, March 7th, Youth Director Sarah Stevens took a half dozen of our middle school students to Catholic Fest held at Notre Dame Academy—run by the Marist Brothers—in Duluth. The event packed an estimated 400 middle school students into the Notre Dame gymnasium for the main part of the Fest. The day’s events included two speakers each sharing a Lenten-centric faith message, a band that played upbeat praise and worship music, to which many present took to dancing! There were also giant blow-up basketball skill booths and blow -up obstacle courses to navigate through. The sun was shining, so the youth also took to the outdoor activities such as team volleyball games and games of Uno under the sun. You can tell by the smiles on the youth in the accompanying pictures that a great—and inspirational—time seemed to be had by all!

Though they have seen His For Mar 14-15 - mighty deeds, in their thirst they grumble and put God to the test in today’s First Reading—a 3rd Sunday of Lent crisis point recalled also in today’s Psalm. Jesus is thirsty, too, in today’s Gospel. He thirsts for Exodus 17:3-7 † Psalm 95 souls (see John 19:28). He longs to give the Samaritan woman the living waters that well up to Romans 5:1-2,5-8 † John 4:5-42 eternal life. These waters couldn’t be drawn from the well of Jacob, father of the Israelites and the Samaritans, but Jesus was something greater than Jacob (see Luke 11:31-32). The Samari- For Mar 21-22 - tans were Israelites who escaped exile when Assyria conquered the Northern Kingdom eight 4th Sunday of Lent centuries before Christ (see 2 Kings 17:6, 24–41). They were despised for intermarrying with non-Israelites and worshipping at Mount Gerazim, not Jerusalem. But Jesus tells the woman that the “hour” of true worship is coming, when all will worship God in Spirit and truth. Jesus’ Ephesians 5:8-14 † John 9:1-41 “hour” is the “appointed time” that Paul speaks of in today’s Epistle. It is the hour when the Rock of our salvation was struck on the Cross. Struck by the soldier’s lance, living waters flowed out from our Rock (see John 19:34–37). These waters are the Holy Spirit (see John 7:38 –39), the gift of God (see Hebrews 6:4). By the living waters the ancient enmities of Samaritans and Jews have been washed away, the dividing wall between Israel and the nations is broken down (see Ephesians 2:12–14, 18). Since His hour, all may drink of the Spirit in Baptism (see 1 Saturday— March 14 Corinthians 12:13). In this Eucharist, the Lord now is in our midst—as He was at the Rock of Horeb and at the well of Jacob. In the “today” of our Liturgy, He calls us to believe “I AM He,” 8:30 a.m. Steven Bovard (D) come to pour out the love of God into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. How can we continue 5:30 p.m. Samuel Addeo (D) to worship as if we don’t understand? How can our hearts remain hardened?
