FORUM Third Sunday of Lent

March 23, 2014

Suddenly, we find ourselves entering into the third week of our Lenten Journey with Jesus. Are you still on course? Have you begun to Feel the Hunger? We hear in John’s Gospel today that a lengthy dialogue took place between Jesus and a Samaritan woman. Jesus entered Samaria on his way to Galliee, it was around noon and he was tired from his journey. He went and sat by the well. Soon, a lone Samaritan woman approached to draw water from the well. Jesus began to engage her in a conversation asking her to “Give me a drink.” The Samaritan woman responded with a question “How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” She knew that it was taboo for a Jewish man to speak to a woman in public and also the animosity and rivalry that lies between the Jews and the Samaritans. Jesus continued the conversation referring to himself as “the gift of God,” insinuating his identity as the source of “living water”, but the woman misses his meaning and the conversation continues. She questions the fact that he doesn’t even have a bucket and the well is deep. Jesus continues his self–revelation telling her that “everyone who drinks this water will thirst again; but those who drink the water I shall give will never thirst.“ Soon, by Jesus questioning her, we learn that she is an outcast with nothing to lose. She has lived with many men to whom she was not married and is not afraid to take on this man, who she’s convinced, already feels superior to her. The high point of the conversation is when Jesus reveals himself to her as the Messiah. Having come to know Jesus, the Samaritan woman becomes an evangelist to her own people. Feel the Hunger – Jesus will be water that requires no bucket, for he will bubble up like a “spring” within the believer’s heart. The Samaritan woman is, herself, converted to believe in Jesus the Messiah because he knows her sin and speaks with her just the same. His “food,” he says, is doing God’s will. In one sentence, Jesus summarizes his ministry and our mission. Jesus speaks urgently on the theme of evangelization. Feed with Prayer – In our Lenten booklet “Journey to Joy”, our Spiritual Practice for today is: “Spend a few minutes in prayer taking an inventory of the gifts of life and grace that you have been given. Hold these gifts in your heart, thanking God for all that has been given to you. “ Soon, you will hear Jesus’s words directly and, through your own experience, know that he is the “savior of the world.” Move Forward In Faith – In our Little Black Lenten Book, we read today about discipleship. “Being a disciple involves motion. It means walking with the Lord. It is a verb, not simply a card in my wallet. So, in what direction are the various parts of my life moving…towards sin or towards God…or just drifting nowhere in particular? Discovering in which direction I am moving takes much thought, and usually the help of someone else who can tell me if I am being honest with myself. The final stage in the process calls for the celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation. I need to take a look at that sacrament.”

Quilters The Quilters would like to make a St. Lawrence quilt using t-shirts or any shirts with the St. Lawrence school logos on them. The shirts must be in good condition without holes or stains; any items not used will be donated to charity. The raffle for this quilt will take place in the fall when we display our quilts that we send to World Relief.

As Catholics, we are called to put the Two Feet of Christian Service -- Charity and Justice --- into action! We step with the foot of charity when we work to assist others with their immediate, short-term needs. We step with the foot of justice when we work to address the root causes of problems facing our communities.

We are also in need of large size material to use as backs for our quilts. Flat sheets are great as are any large pieces 80” x 64”. You may turn in shirts, sheets or like items to the Parish office.

Give Me a Break! Many families in our community are struggling to take care of a loved one at home. For these full-time caregivers, a break to run errands, go to their own doctor appointment, or just relax for an hour is often impossible because their parent or spouse cannot be left alone. If you have a few hours, once or twice a month, to just sit with an older or disabled adult, your gift of time will make a huge difference for these families. No hands-on care or nursing experience is needed. For more information, call the Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers at 586-757-5551. Learn more their work at www.ivc.info.org.

Thank you! Sandy Barg

Spring is right around the corner, so we must think flowers! We are having the Perennial Exchange on May 10, 2014, from 9:30 am to 11:00 am. This is a good time to separate your perennials and exchange them for some new ones.

WE WILL NOT HAVE A PRAYER MEETING THIS WEEK, WEDNESDAY, 3-26-14. SEE YOU AT THE MASS WITH HEALING PRAYER ON THURSDAY, 3-27-14.

Ladies, there has been a change in our meetings. We are trying to schedule them when there is more daylight and no snow on the streets.

Remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and our salvation. Remember too that we are called daily to carry our cross and die to ourselves that we may serve Him and come to know Him in a more intimate way. We can do this through studying His Word, receiving the Sacraments, Praying, and Fasting especially during this Lent.

See you in church!

Please join us for a day of prayer, sponsored by The Council of Catholic Women.

C.R.E. Classroom Updates

C.R.E. Classroom Updates (con’t)

Kindergarten ON FIRE FOR LIFE was another way to enrich your lives this past month. Sr. Kathleen Matz was an inspirational speaker, who spoke on the topic Prayer. We need to help our young students to understand the importance of prayer and faith and to teach them that it is for the rest of their lives, not only while they are attending their CRE classes.

Grade 4 Lent began on Wednesday, March 5th. During the coming weeks the 4th graders will be talking and learning about the importance of prayer, fasting (giving up food we really enjoy) and Almsgiving (sharing with others) and their relevance to the Lenten season. In particular, the 4th graders will learn how these acts bring us closer to Jesus, in part by making our hearts more charitable. Also in the next few weeks we will attend church to pray the Stations of the Cross. This is a great prayer to say as a family during Lent as well as providing an opportunity to discuss as a family how you will pray, fast and give alms this Lenten season.

Lent is a time for change and during this time, we are showing the children that even at a young age they can participate by trying their very best at everything they do or be kinder to their siblings and others. May God Bless you.

In addition to our Lenten related discussions, we will also be talking about our relationship with the Holy Spirit as our leader and guide and the Sacraments of the Church. God’s blessings this Easter season.

Grade 1 This month the 1st graders are going to learn the difference between good habits and bad habits. They'll learn that the good habits come from the Holy Spirit and are called "Fruits of the Holy Spirit". They will learn that the Holy Spirit is their teacher and helper throughout life and how they can pray to the Holy Spirit. We will also talk about what Lent means and what they can do as a follower of Jesus. They will learn that Lent is a time for sacrificing and giving. They will get a 40 day "Journey to Joy" Lenten roadmap that asks them to perform different tasks throughout Lent.

Grade 5 As the earth prepares for new beginnings in the season of spring, so too do we prepare to renew ourselves in the glorious Resurrection of our Savior. We will be celebrating the renewing of our hearts through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. As new life springs forward we will be beginning our final unit of study of the Sacraments!

Grade 2 We have been working our way through the Eucharist Books. Hard to believe we are almost complete. Please take the time as a family to do the home section with the children. They have been asking many questions with regard to their preparation for their First Eucharist. All of the classes have been practicing how to receive communion. Please encourage practicing at home. Also, don’t forget to discuss with them good behavior for Mass. As time allows, we have discussed how we should be preparing ourselves during Lent for Easter. Don’t forget to turn in your felt person as soon as you have finished it.

Every baptized Christian has a vocation. Bishops, priests, and deacons have a special call to leadership in the Church. Married couples are the leaders of the “domestic church,” the family. The Church celebrates two sacraments in which the participants vow to serve others. These sacraments are Matrimony and Holy Orders. Through these sacraments, husbands and wives, clergy, and religious vow to bring forth community through service. Grade 6 Continuing on our Faith journey through the Hebrew Scriptures, we have resumed with our regular class lessons, learning more about the many prophets and leaders of the Old Testament. We will be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation during class time on March 24 & 25 respectively allowing the students to prepare themselves for Easter.

Grade 3 In Unit 4 we will be covering lessons 13 thru 16. We are called to share our faith just as the Apostles did. We have talents that we can share with others. We can share stories we have learned about Jesus. We can do this through prayers, receiving the sacraments and being faithful to our commitment. We will be completing Unit 4 and will go into Unit 5 which is the last unit in our book.

Let’s continue keeping our Faith alive by sharing of ourselves and praying for the needs of others. Also continue praying for vocations – for God has called all of us to a vocation in life. On behalf of all the 6th grade CRE teachers we would like to wish the students and their families a Blessed and Happy Easter.

We ask parents to keep reviewing prayers with their child every day or as often as possible. The more we say the formal prayers we will soon know them by memory.

3RD SUNDAY OF LENT

School News

C.R.E. Classroom Updates (con’t) Grade 7 We hope everyone enjoyed the On Fire for Life sessions. We are again back to the Visions and Blest Are We curriculum. Reconciliation is scheduled on Tuesday, March 25th and Monday, March 31st during class for 7th and 8th grades. McRest donations are requested to be dropped off by March 24 and 25 to the Parish office. Seventh grade students are asked to donate snack size bags of chips.

School Mission We are a Catholic School family dedicated to nurturing and celebrating a love for Jesus Christ and educating the whole child with academic excellence.

Grade 8 The 8th grade students have been learning about the Rite of Confirmation and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The On Fire for Life session earlier this month was a perfect complement to the season of Lent. If you did not attend the first Evening of Reflection session, the second one is coming up April 3 rd. In the coming weeks we will be going to Reconciliation and writing letters to the new pastor asking permission to be confirmed. March seems to be flying by and with it, Lent. Soon it will be Easter. Keep in mind that all projects and papers are due by Easter. Go over the class requirements with your student to see if they are missing any of them. The class service project is to work at a Friday Fish Fry. If additional service projects are needed, the kids may work extra Fridays as well. As for the spiritual growth project, there is no better opportunity than Holy Week. Attendance at any of the services and completion of the spiritual growth form will fulfil that requirement. The Holy Thursday Mass is one of the most underappreciated services of the year; celebrating the Last Supper and ending with the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The youth group presents a very moving portrayal of the Stations of the Cross; and the Good Friday service is steeped in tradition. The Easter Vigil may be long, but is worth every minute, starting after sunset in complete darkness until lit by the Easter candle. Easter is the culmination of our faith and the source of our eternal life. See you in church!

3RD SUNDAY OF LENT

A Word … from the D.R.E.

A Word … from the D.R.E. (con’t)

In the year 384, Bishop Cyril preached a series of homilies to his newly baptized parishioners in Jerusalem. With each sermon, he explained parts of the Mass so that the people would grow in their understanding of the Liturgy.

2. Partners in Faith http://www.stlawrenceparish.com/ slschool/Partners%20In% 20Faith.html.

As part of our “Journey to Joy” to feed our hunger for the Lord with prayer, we will reflect on St. Cyril’s description of the four short phrases of the “Introductory Dialogue” before the Eucharistic prayer – one phrase per week. This exchange between the priest and people directs our focus to the imminent miracle of consecration: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Only one session each night Parents/Families attend together.

Let us lift up our hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord. It is right and just.

Notice that we continue to say the same prayer today! How beautiful are the words of the Mass: #2) “Then you answer: We have lifted them up to the Lord. By these words of assent you declare you are at one with him. Now no one should stand there saying with his lips, ‘We have them lifted up to the Lord’, while in his mind he is preoccupied with worldly thoughts. We must be mindful of God at all times, but if human weakness makes this impossible we should try especially hard at this time.” [Edward Yarnold, SJ. The Awe-Inspiring Rites of Initiation – The Origins of the RCIA, (Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 1994), 91]

Our readings this week have a common theme of flowing water and the outpouring of God’s providence as salvation and Spirit. Even when the Israelites complained and lacked focus, God provided water for them. Even while we are still sinners, Jesus forgives us and pours His Spirit upon us. And even when we misunderstand or distrust God’s Word, God gives us Jesus as living, flowing water to nourish and sustain us on our journey. In the midst of the details of daily living, we are challenged to “lift our hearts” to the Lord and focus on prayer – our conversation with God. May this Lent be a season of renewal so that we can be truly focused on our Lord and say “yes” to him!

Mustang Roundup

Mustang Roundup cont’d...

Basketball

Saturday 3/9/14, they needed only 3 points to win the CYO 7th/8th Grade Division C Championship. The team responded great, bowling their season best Baker Game - a nice 135. They bowled over average in game 2 and game 3, a great team effort, taking all 7 points and winning Championship. They finished the season with a great 53-17 record! 3/16, our Mustangs bowled in the CYO 7th/8th Grade Bowling Finals against 42 other teams. Our team did well but did not win the Finals. Thank you, John, Sophia, Andrew, Anthony and A.J for a great season!

The 7/8th Grade Varsity Girls #2 ended its season, as the last one standing in our Program, with a hard fought loss to their year-long nemesis, Our Lady of the Lakes #2, 23-20, in the 3rd Round, Eastside Finals of the CYO Tournament. The teams traded baskets during the first quarter with Lindsey Michol scoring all of her 4 points but when the dust settled, OLL held lead, 5-4. The Mustang defense played hard, keeping the high scoring Lakers off the board. The second quarter did not go well as Lakes was able to outscore the Mustangs 7-2 and take a 12-6 lead at the half. With half a game to go there was no panic and that proved to be true as the team cranked up the pressure. They cut the lead to just 3 entering the fourth quarter, down 18-15. During the 3rd quarter Mustang run, Marissa Muglia scored her 4 points and Riley Reese made the first of her two 3 point shots. The final quarter saw many fans on their feet, as Calise Stepp, who finished with 6 points, cut the lead to one point with a basket. The Mustangs were able to take the lead 20-18 on Reese’s second 3 pointer. St. Lawrence quickly stole the ball and attempted another 3 that just missed going in. Unfortunately, the Lakers would not go away, and made a 3 pointer of their own to take a 21-20 lead. St Lawrence was unable to convert and the Lakers got another 2 point basket for the final 3 point margin. With the Mustangs down 3 and less than a minute on the clock, the team had several good shots, a few of which were blocked by the Lakers. Every girl on the team stepped up their game to compete and the Program was very proud of the way they played and also the way they conducted themselves off the court. Though they were not the actual champs, they played like champions. The team players were Natalie Vollmar, Lindsey Michol, Calise Stepp, Riley Reese, Marissa Muglia, Abbie Johnston, Maria Schudt, Sabrina Mullins and Valentina Giulianelli, coached by Doug Lock and Gary Selasky.

On 3/1, the JV took on St. Anne, needing five points to take over first place. In a very close match, the Eagles took 3 points and the Mustangs 2. Game two went right down to the wire. With the help of Justin Hozeska and David Balanon we won by 17 pins. Game 3 was another tight game right down to the tenth frame. St. Anne got a double from their leadoff man and a couple more marks in the tenth, and our Mustangs could not match them. St. Anne took the game by 23 pins and totals by 6 pins, extending their lead to 4 points over the Mustangs in the standings. 3/9, our Mustangs bowled St. Thecla, who took 12 of a possible 15 points from the Mustangs throughout the season. With first place still a possibility our Mustangs, led by Balanon, won game 2 easily. We never trailed. Then with solid bowling from Giovanni Polsinelli, Hozeska and Noah Jusko, the Mustangs again never trailed, winning game 3 easily. When St. Anne lost their game 2, it gave the Mustangs hope until an Eagle win in their last game of the season gave them the Division wins by 2 points. The Mustangs record was 2921 for the season. A very exciting season came to an end. Thank you Justin, Noah, David and Giovanni for a great season! Coach Bill Costie wanted to thank the parents for getting the kids to practice, especially on those very nasty days, and to getting them to the games on time. He wanted to acknowledge our lone 8th Grader, John Reichenbach, who will be moving on to Bishop Foley next year. It was a pleasure having John on the team the last four years and he will be missed! Hopefully the eight remaining bowlers will return next season and again, congratulations on a great season. You all made St. Lawrence proud.

Bowling Saturday 3/1, our Varsity started their match with a four point lead over St. Anne’s for first place, taking on St. Isaac Jogues. The Mustangs started out losing the Baker Game by four pins. Game two was a very close game as Andrew Rowinski, A.J. Konarzewski and Anthony Marcopoli all bowled over average, but it wasn’t enough. The Chargers bowled very well, winning the game by 12 pins. Game 3 saw the Mustangs take off and never lose the lead. There was some fine bowling by John Reichenbach and Rowinski, taking the game by 58 pins, and then totals, which won them 3 points. Combined with St. Anne only taking 2 points, the Mustangs extended their lead for first place to 5 points.

Stephen Ministry Stephen Ministers Are Ready to Care! The winter weather we’ve had recently can be symbolic of what may sometimes happen in life. A Crisis hits, and we feel like we’re buried beneath a drift of snow. Relationships can become icy, or we can feel frozen by life circumstances. Little difficulties build up like slush, making us slip and slide, causing every decision to seem treacherous. Life seems dreary, and we begin to doubt that spring will ever come. We can wonder, “Is God even there?”

A FREE DINNER IS PROVIDED ALONG WITH BEVERAGES! The Knights of Columbus is an international Catholic family fraternal service organization with more than 1.8 million Catholic families in more than 14,300 local councils. Last year, the Knights donated more than 70 million volunteer hours and more than $155 million sponsoring benevolent and charitable projects to benefit their Church, their communities, their families, their councils, the culture of life and young people.

Stephen Ministers are trained to provide confidential Christian care, giving you the emotional and spiritual support yu need to make it through a winter in your life. To learn more about how a Stephen Minister can help you or someone you know, contact one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders at 586-731-5347. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you.
