In honor of the greatest gift of Jesus, the Eucharist, I offer you the hymn of St. Thomas Aquinas, which to this day hasn’t been surpassed in expressing our gratitude, love, praise, hope, joy, and desire in such a wondrous gift.

Adoro te devote I devoutly adore you, O hidden Deity,

Truly hidden beneath these appearances.

My whole heart submits to you,

And in contemplating you, It surrenders itself completely.

Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in their judgment of you,

But hearing suffices firmly to believe.

I believe all that the Son of God has spoken;

There is nothing truer than the Word of Truth.

On the cross only the divinity was hidden,

But here the humanity is also hidden.

Yet believing and confessing both,

I ask for what the repentant thief asked.

I do not see the wounds as Thomas did,

But I confess that you are my God.

Make me believe more and more in you,

Hope in you, and love you.

O memorial of our Lord's death!

Living bread that gives life to man,

Grant my soul to live on you,

And always to savor your sweetness.

Lord Jesus, Good Pelican,

wash my filthiness and clean me with your blood,

One drop of which can free

the entire world of all its sins.

Jesus, whom now I see hidden,

I ask you to fulfill what I so desire:

That the sight of your face being unveiled

I may have the happiness of seeing your glory. Amen.

The Fifth Sunday of Lent

Read: Philippians 3:13-14 I am far from thinking that I have already won. All I can say is that I forget the past and I strain ahead for what is still to come; I am racing for the finish, for the prize to which God calls us up-wards to receive in Christ Jesus. Reflect:

What is the prize or the goal that St. Paul is talking about here? When will he receive this prize? What is the difference between this prize and the prize that the world offers?

The key to the success of St. Paul: I forget the past and I strain ahead: Can I do this in my life? Is it diffi-cult for me to forget the past? Why?

What happens when I cannot let go of the past? How would it have an ef-fect on my future? Pray: Lord Jesus, in all the obstacles that I face in life, give me the grace of perse-verance and determination so that I may run this race and win the prize of eternal life. May I trust the past to

your mercy, the present to your love and the future to your providence. Amen. “Holiness consists simply in doing God’s will and being just what God wants us to be.” St. Therese of Lisieux Stations of the Cross Fri-days during Lent at An-nunciation at 12:00 pm

MARRIAGE MINUTE- It’s about Relationship The sin of adultery symbolizes the very betrayal that we as humans have committed against God. Despite its gravity, God is willing to forgive this deep sin and does not join the bandwagon of accusation against the woman caught in this sin. Instead, Jesus turns the tables against the Pharisees and tells them to look in the mirror and offers the woman hope without condoning her sin. The key is right relationship with God and others. To do this in marriage: • Assume the best of intentions when there is a misunderstanding. • Be quick to apologize for wrongdoing. • Be quick to forgive when wronged. • Be proactive in showing affection. • Care more about the Marriage than about who is “right” on a given issue. To plan your more joyful

marriage, go to www.JoyfulMarriageProject.com ALL ARE INVITED- Filling St. Mary's Church With Music St. Mary's Church at St. Benedict will host the Emporia State University A Capella Choir and the Emporia Chorale on Sunday, April 28.

Reflecting On Sunday’s Readings

“One afternoon my four-year-old niece and my six-year-old daughter started an argument, which grew louder and louder. I was about to intervene when my daughter stomped down the stairs, ‘Mom,’ she yelled, ‘Jesus wants us to be salt of the earth and Paige is being the pepper!’” (Cherish Ann Marie Eile, in the Christian Reader) Though comical, this incident aptly introduces the subject of this week’s Gospel Reading, which is the difference between righteous judgment and unrighteous judgmentalism. “What do you say about her (the adulteress)?” is the question with which the Pharisees and scribes confronted Jesus. It was not a legitimate question for they had already determined their views about her. In their minds condemnation and the consequential stoning of this woman was the conclusion to which they had already jumped. Now having caught and condemned her, they used this occasion and this question to endeavor to catch and condemn Jesus. But Jesus, “knowing what was in the heart of all men,” authorized the ones without sin to begin the stoning process. These men, so accustomed to condemning others, now could not escape self condemnation, so in guilt they slunk away one by one. Did Jesus by his actions condone this woman’s behavior? Of course not! What he did was to judge righteous judgment, but simultaneously avoided judgmentalism. Righteous judgment recognizes the difference between right and wrong, but it also with mercy and grace properly assesses the situation. This woman, like many of us, was experiencing a desert and wilderness experience in her life similar to that which is spoken of in this week’s First Reading. Also, like many of us who turn to the empty things of the world in hope of finding our way and finding something to satisfy, this woman turned to adultery, which failed to satisfy her as it always does. Righteous judgment not only recognizes the problem but it also recognizes the solution. In this case the

solution was mercy and forgiveness, forces which compel us to stop living for ourselves and to begin living for him who is the source of this love. (2 Corinthians 5:14) Righteous judgment accompanied with mercy and forgiveness offers a way in the wilderness and water in the desert, it offers life. The judgmentalism of the Pharisees and scribes also recognizes right and wrong behavior, but it is not based on the nature and character of God, but on one’s own supposed self-righteousness. And because self-righteousness can only be maintained by making others less righteous, judgmentalism always roots out sin in others and condemns it ruthlessly while ignoring one’s own sin and failure. Unlike the First Reading, judgmentalism does not offer “a way in the wilderness,” or life giving water “in the dessert,” but instead speeds the dying process. Ultimately that is what this incident is all about, judgmentalism. In their self-righteousness the Pharisees and scribes wanted to be able to condemn Jesus. If he let her go without punishment they could accuse him of ignoring the Law. If he also condemned her they would accuse him of hypocrisy. In their minds they had already condemned Jesus, now all they needed to do was to find an acceptable accusation against him. In the end their spirit of condemnation ensnared them, as the pointed finger of accusation turned to focus on their own unrighteous histories and reckoned them, “Guilty!” Hopefully, as we near the end of our lenten journey, we have been able to assess our relationship with Christ and our commitment to follow him in obedience. But we must ask ourselves whether our view of ourselves, and others, is being controlled by aspects of righteous judgment or by judgmentalism? If it is the latter we will find our spirit dragged down by a sense of guilt and condemnation. If it is the former we will find our long faces turning to joyous smiles as we recognize Jesus’ saying also to us, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again.” We will understand the truth Monsignor

Romano Guardini proclaims in his book, The Lord, that, “God is moved by the suffering human heart; the pain of it clouds his face, and we understand who he is and what St. Paul means when he speaks of the goodness and kindness of God.” **************************** Reflecting On Sunday’s Readings, Copyright 2002-2019, Richard A.
