He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." His disciples recalled the words of scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me. (John 2:12-14)." Scripture for the week of March 8, SUN Ex 20:1-17 or 20:1-3, 7-8, 12-17/1 Cor 1:22-25/Jn 2: Mon 2 Kgs 5:1-15b/Lk 4: Tue Dn 3:25, 34-43/Mt 18: Wed Dt 4:1, 5-9/Mt 5: Thu Jer 7:23-28/Lk 11: Fri Hos 14:2-10/Mk 12: Sat Hos 6:1-6/Lk 18: SUN 2 Chr 36:14-16, 19-23/Eph 2:4-10/Jn 3:14-21 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Sunda y MARCH 8, 2015 Readings The first reading is taken from the Book of Exodus 20:1-17. When God had freed the Chosen People from the slavery of Egypt, He led them to Mount Sinai. There he made a Covenant with the Israelites through which He promised to make them His own people, to lead them into the Promised Land, and to protect them from their enemies there. The Israelites were to reverence Him and Him only as their Lord, and they were to obey the moral and cultic laws which He laid down for them. The second reading is from the letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 1: In these few sentences St. Paul gives us the basic reasons which motivated opposition to the gospel message on the part of Jews and Gentiles. The Jews because Christ did not fit the preconceived ideas they had formed of the Messiah and the Gentiles because they looked to philosophy or human "wisdom" for the solution of man's problems. The Gospel is from St. John 2: If we had only the Synoptic gospels (Mt., Mk., Lk.) we could easily conclude that Jesus spent almost all his public life and did all his preaching in Galilee and its neighborhood. St. John who wrote his gospel several years later corrects this false impression by mentioning visits made by our Lord to Jerusalem, He gave the "leaders of the people" in Jerusalem plenty of opportunity of hearing his message and his claims. He also worked some astounding miracles in or near the city. For instance, the man crippled for thirty-eight years (Jn. 5); the man born blind (Jn. 9), the raising of Lazarus; who had been four days buried (Jn. 11). St. John makes it very clear that the leaders (the priests and Pharisees) in Jerusalem were given every opportunity to learn who Jesus was, and every help to believe in him, but they would not. The fault was theirs, therefore, and the loss. On this particular visit he made it clear to them that he was someone special, someone close to God whose house they were desecrating, and whom he even called his Father. In hidden language he told them that they would put him to death but that that would not be the end, for he would rise again. Some of them seem to have remembered this saying of his after they had put him to death, for they asked Pilate to place a guard on his tomb lest his disciples should remove the body and pretend he had risen for: "we recall," they said, "that this impostor said while he was still living, 'after three days I shall rise again"' (Mt. 27 : 63). But even the miracle of his resurrection did not affect the majority of them. They had made up their minds and "there are none so blind as those who will not see." The reasons for their blindness were the same as those that keep millions of the neo-pagans of today from accepting and living the Christian faith. These, like the priests and Pharisees of Jerusalem in the year 28, are so immersed in the affairs of this world that they can give no thought to their own future. Their eyes are so fixed on the earthly objectives that they have set themselves, that they can see nothing else. The priests and Pharisees wanted more than political freedom from Rome. They had hopes that their Messiah would give them a great world empire, and with it wealth and power without limit. Our contemporaries' aims may not go so far, but worldly aims are important enough in their eyes to make them exclude from their minds the thought of anything higher. Yet, they have more than enough reminders whichever way they turn to recall their minds to the historical facts of Christianity. This is 2006 A.D., that is 2006 years since the birth of Christ. Who was he, why was he born, why does the world divide its history into before he came, B.C., and after he came, A.D.? In every town and village of our once Christian western world there is a church or two with steeples pointing to the sky. Why? What do churches mean to men? Near every town there are cemeteries or "sleeping places," according to the meaning of that Greek word. Are those buried there only sleeping and waiting to be called, if not already called, or are they finished forever just like the ox or the unthinking cow that may be buried in the next field. The agnostics and free-thinkers of our day should start to think about the real facts of life the central ones of which are that Christ, who was the Son of God, took our human nature and lived for some time on this earth, so that he would raise us up to son ship with God. He suffered crucifixion, because the world was full of sin when he came. But his death made atonement to the heavenly Father for all the sins of the world. His resurrection from the dead was the prelude and the guarantee that we shall all rise to a life of glory in heaven, if only we have followed him faithfully during our years on earth.

3 THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT ( B ) SAINT MATTHEW 3eme Dimanche de Carême Année B Exode 20, 1-17 Psaume 18 1 Corinthiens 1, Jean 2, Durant l Exode, Dieu était au milieu des siens. La Tente de la réunion était le signe et, en quelque sorte, le lieu de sa présence. Plus tard, le Temple de pierres a remplacé ce sanctuaire dressé á chaque étape de la marche dans le désert. Toute une spiritualité s est alors développée sous l impulsion des prophètes qui ont prêché sans relâche le respect de la Maison de Dieu, la pureté et la sincérité du culte qu on y célébrait. Par ailleurs, destruction et reconstruction du Temple ont toujours été liées á la dispersion et au nouveau rassemblement du peuple. Mais l exil a montré que Dieu restait présent au milieu des siens même en terre étrangère, alors qu il n avait plus de sanctuaire. Cette expérience a suscité un développement et un enrichissement ultérieurs de la spiritualité et de la «théologie» du temple. L espérance est née d un Temple parfait inauguré par le Messie. Le geste vigoureux et insolite de Jésus chassant les marchands du Temple se situe dans ce contexte. Il est aussi, et surtout, un signe. De la Pâque des Juifs á celle de Jésus, un même mystère s accomplit : celui de la destruction d un sanctuaire et du relèvement d un autre qui n est pas fait de mains d homme : c est Jésus, le Fils de Dieu mort et ressuscité le troisième jour. Folie pour les uns, scandale pour les autres, c est la manifestation suprême de la sagesse de Dieu, l accomplissement de ses promesses, le fondement sûr de toute espérance. Mes frères et sœurs, la sainteté tient dans son amour de conformité au Christ Jésus. L aimer ainsi, c est posséder dans son cœur la pureté d un foyer lumineux, c est ressentir tout au long de ce carême, cette vive espérance á la pensée de l avènement du Seigneur, malgré les obstacles multiples qui s opposent souvent au plein épanouissement de notre Foi au Christ. C est résister aux assauts redoublés du démon ; c est avoir les yeux constamment fixés sur Dieu toujours présent. C est se réfugier filialement entre les bras de sa toute-puissance, et de cette façon être heureux du bonheur même de Dieu. La ressemblance du christ s imprimera en nous, dans la mesure où nous aimerons nos frères et sœurs. Fr.

5 THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT ( B ) FATHER ROGER J. LANDRY One of the greatest triumphs of the devil has been to convince many that fasting is an optional part of the Christian life -- and that rigorous fasting is a sign of psychological imbalance, a sort of spiritual anorexia. On Ash Wednesday, Jesus spoke about three elements central to a Christian plan of life: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. He told us, "When you pray," "When you fast," "When you give alms," not to do so to be noticed by others but exclusively in order to bring ourselves into a greater union with God the Father. All three practices are essential to the Christian life. No one can truly heed Jesus' words to follow him without striving to imitate Jesus' constant prayer, his heroic fasting, and his giving of himself as alms for others' salvation. A Catholic who takes the faith seriously similarly prays, fasts and sacrifices for others. It's fitting for us, therefore, as we consider the spiritual practices that are essential to a Catholic's training for holiness, to examine prayer, fasting and almsgiving, which are meant to be lived not only during the 40-day season of Lent but are meant to be a staple of Christian l i f e t h r o u g h o u t t h e y ear. We've already pondered various aspects of Christian prayer -- the Morning Offering, the General Examination, Mental Prayer and the Mass -- and will consider others in upcoming columns. At the beginning of Lent, however, it's fitting for us to focus on the need for fasting, which we'll do this week, and almsgiving, which we'll take up next week.
