Temptation is a part of our lives. Even Jesus wrestled with March 13 temptation. Our faith tells us that we are meant to live our lives March 20 in service of God's kingdom. Yet, we often find ourselves April 3 pursuing our own desires rather than God's. The Gospel clearly April 10 tells us that true power is found in the embrace of virtue - living April 17 lives of non-violence, mercy, and forgiveness. Yet, we still are not convinced and seek things that will hurt us and retaliate against those who harm us. When Jesus faced temptation, he found security in who he was, which firmly rooted him in his mission and gave him the determination to trust in God. We, too, must learn to find security in our identity as a son or daughter of God, to live out our mission rooted in that truth, and to be confident in God's abiding presence.

From the Team Moderator’s Desk (Father Rick):

How Do We Teach Children – How to genuflect, what it means, and why people bless themselves before the reading of the Holy Gospel? – the bending of one or both knees as an act of reverence 1st—4th Grade Classes (6:30—7:30 p.m.) upon entering church or when encountering Our Lord present in the Holy Monday, March 11 Eucharist upon the altar, in the tabernacle, in the monstrance or in a pyx – is a time-honored liturgical mentioned as early as in the Psalms Monday, March 18 (Psalm 95:6). Genuflection happens to be the act of reverence Catholics Monday, March 25 of our time and country are most accustomed to, but a profound, devout Monday, April 1 bow can be equally reverent. Until about 300 years ago, was the Monday, April 8 common way of showing reverence for the Eucharist or to a crucifix. It Monday, April 15 was considered quite proper, in fact, and in former times, for young girls to Monday, April 29 “curtsy” to the Blessed Sacrament. The General Instruction of the Roman

Missal gives some idea of the proper signs of reverence in a church today and, for the most part, these directions are available in the Mass participa- 5th—8th Grade Classes (6:30—7:30 p.m.) tion aids found in our Breaking Bread Hymnal. My recommendation for Monday, March 11 parents and children is to encourage at an early age a full, intentional Monday, March 18 genuflection, dropping the right knee entirely to the floor (honoring Jesus Monday, March 25 who is seated at the right hand of the Father), pausing to make the sign of Monday, April 1 the cross, only then rising politely to take a seat for Mass, remembering to genuflect before leaving, too! Sometimes children and families are in such Monday, April 8 a hurry to get seated for movies and sporting events that they don’t entirely Monday, April 15 take in the special character that our places of worship have, as the Monday, April 29 emphasis in church is not on them but on God Who loves us and made us. Getting a family to church in time for children to make this gesture Parent Supervision Schedule intentionally can make a deep impression on them. I remember a little boy Monday, 3/11/19—6:30 to 7:30 p.m. once telling me that one of his favorite things to do at Mass was genuflect- Tom or Kate Tennies ing and kneeling because, as he saw it, even his mom and dad had some-

body to whom who they had to kneel down and honor! As to reverences in church done by priests/deacons, along with kissing the altar, they also 9th & 10th Grade Classes (6:30—8:00 p.m.) the Book of the Gospels after they read from it. Before reading the Sunday, March 10 Gospel, they bless their heads, their lips and their chests (hearts) with small signs of the cross; the people should be doing the same, making small 11th Grade Class (6:30—8:00 p.m.) signs of the cross on their foreheads, their lips and their hearts as a prayer Sunday, March 10 that the Good News of the Lord they are about to hear may be always on their minds, on their lips and in their hearts. Do it slow enough for children to observe and do themselves – “May the Lord be on my mind, on my lips, and in my heart.”

The Devil –Has been called the “Father of Lies” but yet in the late 20th and early 21st centuries I sometimes feel that we’ve been doing much of his work for him! While our human technological advances like the powerful EMMAUS SCHOLARSHIP internet are “morally neutral,” sin or virtue enter the picture when we choose how to use and how to relate through them. It is a source of good The Emmaus Scholarship Application is now available humor for comedians to note the highly idealized versions of ourselves that on our Parish website or by contacting Linda Heinecke we present as real online, in chat rooms, on employment or dating services. in the Religious Education office (629-1500). We choose to live virtually rather than enjoying the real lives given us by Eligible High School Seniors are encouraged to apply. God. I suspect the devil also has a finger in marketing. Did you ever Deadline for submission is March 31, 2019. notice how many advertising slogans make pseudo-supernatural promises? “There are some things money can’t buy; for everything else, there’s (a certain credit card).” It’s not quite God, but marketing makes it sound like St. Lawrence Fish Fry a fair substitute. How about “A diamond is forever?” or “(A certain soft Friday, March 15 drink) adds life?” Make this a good Lent by learning from Jesus how to 4 pm to 8 pm resist temptations that can be obvious or subtle and, like Him, trust “The 2-Piece $10 / 3-Piece $11

one true God – accept no substitutes!” St. Peter Spaghetti Dinner

Judge Not – “I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Saturday, April 13 heaven’s door, not by the beauty of it all, nor the lights or its décor. 4 pm to 8 pm. Home-made Spaghetti & Meatballs! But it was the folks in heaven who made me sputter and gasp –the thieves, the liars, the sinners, the alcoholics and the trash. There stood the kid from seventh grade who swiped my lunch money twice. Next to him was my older neighbor who never said anything nice. Herb, who I always thought was rotting away in hell, was sitting pretty on cloud nine, looking incredibly well. I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal? I’d love to hear your take, on how all these sinners got up here; there must be some Please remember in your prayers the family and friends of mistake. And why’s everyone so quiet, so somber, give me a clue.’ Mary Ann Priesgen, who passed away on February 26, 2019. ‘Hush, my child,’ Jesus said, ‘they’re all in shock. No one thought A Mass of Christian burial was held on March 4, 2019. they’d be seeing you!” ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO HER, O LORD. .
