Neither Do I
Condemn You
Jesus never denied
others’ shortcomings
or sinfulness, as is
clear when he com-
mands the adulterous
woman to “not sin any more.” But neither did he
deny their goodness. Jesus did not imprison people
by their past actions, but called them to the truth of
who they were and the goodness within them. He
freed people from the “death” of their own sinful
actions and offered to those who would remain with
him new life.
Repentance, turning from our sinfulness, includes
both a dying and a rising. Changing our ways is the
dying; a new relationship with Christ is the rising.
The deepest truth about ourselves lies not so much
in recognizing our sinfulness (as important as that
is) as it lies in deepening our relationship with
Christ. Encountering Christ and desiring to be more
like him is what calls forth from us a repentant atti-
tude. The closer we become to Christ, the more able
are we to recognize our own sinfulness (that which
weakens our relationship with him) and repent of
our ways. Then we hear Christ say to us, “Neither
do I condemn you.” The we may be assured of re-
ceiving new life. —Living Liturgy
Habemus Papam! Pope Francis I
Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of
Buenos Aires, Argentina, is chosen as
our new Pope
On Wednesday, March 13th, after five ballots and just
over a day, the 115 cardinal electors selected Cardinal
Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the new successor to the Apostle
Peter and head of the Catholic Church. He will assume the
papal name Francis I. Until being elected Pope, he served
as cardinal-archbishop of Buenos Aires. He has served as
archbishop of that diocese since 1998 and was named a
cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2001.
O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all Your faithful people,
mercifully look upon Your servant, Pope Francis I, whom
You have chosen as the chief Shepherd to preside over Your
Church. We beg You to help him edify, both by word and
example, those over whom he has charge, that he may reach
everlasting life together with the flock entrusted to him.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
How Does a Pope Choose a Name? When the election has canonically taken place . . . The Cardinal who is first in order and seniority, in the name of the whole College of electors, then asks the consent of the one elected in the following words: “Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?” And, as soon as he has received the consent, he asks him, “By what name do you wish to be called?” Then, the Master of Papal Liturgical Celebrations . . . draws up a document certifying acceptance by the new Pope and the name taken by him. Once chosen, the new pope picks a new name, which typically signals his allegiance to a specific theology or set of priorities. For instance, when Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, he chose the patron saint of Europe to signal his interest in reviving European Catholicism, while the two Pope John Pauls in the 20th century were conveying continuity with the ideas of the Vatican II Council, which addressed Catholic relations with the modern world. (The pope who began the council was John XXIII and the pope who finished it was Paul VI.) The tradition of choosing a new name actually hearkens back to the Bible. For instance, in the Old Testament, after a vision of an angel wrestling with him Jacob renamed himself Israel, which means "contended with God." And the first leader of the Church, St. Peter, was known as Simon when he was one of Jesus
Christ's apostles.
Palm Sunday is next weekend!
As we walk the last few weeks of our Lenten
journey, let us focus on our relationship with Jesus and accompany him
on the road to His passion, death and resurrection to new life.

Sunday’s Good News said…
[Jesus said], “Woman, where are they? Has
no one condemned you?” She replied, “No
one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I
condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin
any more.” —John 8:10‐11
A Message of Hope
To reveal the message, start at the top of
the circle and go clockwise around it writing
every third letter on the lines below.
During this Year of Faith we invite you
to share a little about what your faith
means to you. Sylvin Watson, a
sacristan, lector and Eucharistic minister
writes:
If you’d like to share your thoughts on faith in the bulletin,
please submit your brief entry to Father Mike.
What my faith means to me...
My faith means that I don’t have anything to worry about in this life because Jesus is waiting for me in another life – Eternal Life. I know that I will see his face. lt doesn’t matter what temptations Satan offers me here because God protects me from him. I simply say the Lord’s prayer when tempted. Everything here on earth is rented, my house, my truck, my job, even my earthly body. I don’t need a big house or lots of money here. Jesus has prepared a place for me in Heaven. Jesus is with me all day every day, I don’t need anyone else, except my wife and all of you. I can call on Him at any time and he hears me. He blesses me in more ways than I will ever know with His gifts. I see them as I pray to him and go through every day. I only need to know the many things to look for. Because I love Him and praise Him all day every day, He is in me completely, and I am in Him to the best of my humble ability. He knows that I am trying the best I can to serve Him here so I can be with Him in my next life. He came to us as a servant, so why not me. I can’t do what he does but I can serve here at St. Didacus. And so I do, week after week, doing all I can to help others know him as I do. Lector, sacristan, Eucharistic minister, scheduler, trainer, these are but a few of the many talents He blesses me with. I look forward to serving all of you and may God bless all of you and keep you safe. Prayerfully, Sylvin
St. Joseph March 19th
What do we know about St.
Joseph from Scripture? He
was a descendent of King
David and a carpenter. He
agonized over Mary’s preg-
nancy. But God told him
Mary’s child was of the Holy Spirit, he believed
and took Mary as his wife and the child as his
own. When an angel told him to flee into Egypt,
he obeyed again, trusting in God. We know very
little about Joseph. In fact, he doesn’t say a
word in Scripture. But we do know this: amid
the pain and uncertainties of his life, he trusted
and obeyed God. This week try and follow
Joseph’s example by speaking less and trusting
more. —Living with Christ
Thank you to Sister Ancilla and Sister Jane for the wonderful talk
they gave at our parish last week.
These beautiful sisters shared their thoughts on Lent and told us
about their daily lives at the Carmelite
Monastery. We are blessed to have them
praying for us!

Habemus Papam! Papa Francisco I
A las 7.08 PM hora de Roma salió la fumarola blanca por la chimenea de San Pedro. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, argentino de 76 años, fue elegido, nuevo papa. El es el primer Pontífi-ce jesuita y el primer latinoamerica-no. El nuevo pontífice bromeando dijo: "Han tenido que ir a buscarme al fin del mundo”. Bergoglio es el primer pontífice que toma el nombre de Francisco de Asís, el santo de los pobres. Ha dado las gracias a los que estaba pre-sente y les ha pedido que recen por él y también les insto a orar por su antecesor, Cardenal Ratzinger. Y termino la introducción con una bendición a "todos los hombres y mujeres de buena vo-luntad del mundo". Oremos por nuestro Papa Francisco I.
