FEBRUARY 18, 2018 FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT 3 LENT AND THE NUMBER FORTY| by Sr. Barbara Rund, OP Today’s gospel for the First Sunday of Lent speaks about Jesus in the desert for forty days. Jesus is reliving the life of Israel. Israel came through the Red Sea and was tested and tempted for forty years in the desert. Jesus came through the waters of bapsm and was tested and tempted for forty days in the desert. Jesus experienced the same temptaons that Israel faced, yet Jesus resisted the devil. During these forty days of Lent, we can resist our temptaons through prayer, fasng and charity (almsgiving). In the Preface for the First Sunday of Lent we prayed: “By abstaining forty long days from earthly food, he consecrated through his fast the paern of our Lenten The number forty in the Scriptures is usually associated observance and, by overturning all the snares of the with an opportunity for people to experience God’s ancient serpent, taught us to cast out the leaven of transforming power. In the Liturgical Year, the Season malice, so that, celebrang worthily the paschal of Lent provides forty days as a me of retreat to reflect Mystery, we might pass over at last to the eternal upon our lives and to become more like Christ. The paschal feast” (2011 Roman Missal p80). Gospel for Ash Wednesday offers three tools for us to use during Lent: almsgiving or charity, prayer and Next Week: Lent and Prayer fasng. Lent is our opportunity to use these tools to foster transformaon in our lives. Lent is forty days, so let’s begin by reflecng on the number forty. In the Scriptures, the use of forty days or forty years is usually about a crical situaon in life. Below are some examples: • Noah’s flood lasted forty days (Gen 7:17). Pilgrimage with Fr.

  • The Correspondent
    The Correspondent Winter 2016 To our wonderful Christ Child Society Members, I continue to reflect on our theme this year, “Moments of God’s Grace,” and how our founder Mary Virginia Merrick discovered moments of grace in the beauty and people around her. In doing this I thought defining “grace” would be a good exercise. I looked to various writings on the subject of grace. In the mind of St. Ignatius, one aspect of grace is finding God in all things. Some have described grace as “God-drenched” moments, encountering the goodness of God and being mindful of how God speaks to us in our daily lives. These beautiful thoughts on grace encourage me to open my eyes a bit wider to see all that God is providing in the world around me. I believe God invites us all to be tuned into God’s grace and nearness. Those moments of God’s grace occur when we come together as Christ Child Society members at our various events and gatherings. A comment I have heard many times in my first few months as your CCS president is this, “One of the things I really love about our CCS of Pasadena chapter is the multi- generational nature of our group.” I have to say this was something I also found very attractive about our group when I joined. We have members who have been part of our Christ Child chapter for over forty years as well as members who have children still in diapers! When we attend events it is a blessing and grace to share stories of our chapter’s work over the years, share stories of our families and share stories of our faith.

  • HER LEGACY Mary Virginia Merrick Was a Parishioner of Blessed
    HER LEGACY Mary Virginia Merrick was a parishioner of Blessed Sacrament for over 30 years. In April of 2003 the Congregation of Saints in Rome declared Mary Virginia Merrick a “Servant of God.” In April of 2011, our Archbishop, Donald Cardinal Wuerl signed a decree initiating the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God, Mary Virginia Merrick, thus opening the diocesan phase of investigation to inquire into her reputation for holiness and virtue. After the diocesan investigation is completed and approved by the Archdiocesan Tribunal, we are hopeful that the cause will be sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints for the Roman phase of the investigation. Mary Virginia Merrick lived her entire life as a parishioner in the Archdiocese of Washington. She devoted her life to assisting poor and suffering children, regardless of race or creed. Remarkably this was all done from her bed or wheelchair, as the result of a spinal injury she received as a young teen. Mary Virginia Merrick serves as an example for us of a person of heroic virtue, with a deep love for the Christ Child, who served children in need in His name, who one day may become a declared saint from the Archdiocese of Washington and our parish, Blessed Sacrament. Upon her death on January 10, 1955 her funeral Mass was celebrated at Blessed Sacrament. The Mass was presided over by the Apostolic Delegate, the then Archbishop of Washington, Patrick A. O’Boyle and three other bishops serving on the altar, along with our then pastor Monsignor Roach and many priests from our Archdiocese.
