Fifth Sunday of Lent

John 12:20-33
In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks
about death. He gives the analogy
of the grain of wheat that must fall
to the ground and die in order to
produce much fruit. Later, he
speaks about how he will be "lifted
up from the earth," making
reference to his crucifixion. He says
that the fruit of this will be that he
will "draw everyone" to himself.
Jesus is telling us that death yields a
greater good, that it produces fruit.
So, when he insists that we must
follow him, we can take courage.
Yes, following Jesus means
accompanying him all the way to
the cross. It means that we too are
called to carry our own cross and
die to ourselves. But this death
leads to a greater kind of life.

Rev. Timothy Deutsch, Temporary Administrator

Rev. John Bosco Musinguzi, In Residence

The season of Lent is designed not

only to help us reflect a bit more
deeply on the sufferings and death
of Christ, but also to prepare us for
the glory that follows. The joy of
Easter and the triumph of the
Resurrection are all the more
powerful precisely because they
emerge out of the darkest, most
"hopeless" of situations. When we
cling to Jesus even through these
kinds of circumstances in our own
lives--whether they be sickness,
unemployment, conflict, or
disappointment--we are those
servants that Jesus spoke of, the
ones who go where Jesus goes, even
when the going gets tough. But let
us remember, as we march through
Lent, that this journey will bear
much fruit.
Question of the Week
John 12:20-33: How do you see the
cross of Christ "glorifying" God?

Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good

reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure.
The purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all
truth and undying ecstatic lovewhich is the definition of God. In pursuing that goal we find happiness. Pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something
that is good. One of the best ways to get happiness
and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, How can
I please God? and, Why am I not better? It is the
pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT

DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

O Jesus,
I pray for your faithful and; fervent priests;
For your unfaithful and tepid priests;
For your priests laboring at home or
Abroad in distant mission fields.
For your tempted priests;
For your lonely and desolate priests;
For your young priests; For your dying priests;
For the souls of your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you
The priests dearest to me;
The priest who baptized me;
The priests who absolved me from my sins;
The priests at whose Masses
I assisted and who gave me
Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
The priests who taught and instructed me;
All the priests to whom I am indebted
in any other way
(especially...)
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
And bless them abundantly
in time and in Eternity,
