Cross indicates the person is deceased. No cross the person is alive.

Reflection How can suffering and death bring life and freedom? Jesus used the illustration of the "grain of wheat" to show

how God brings life from death and good fruit through patience and suffering. Seeds by themselves are worthless and lifeless. Only when the seed is destroyed by burying it in the ground, can it rise to new life and bear fruit.

What is the analogy which Jesus alludes to in the image of the grain of wheat that must first die in order to rise to new life and bear good fruit? Is this simply a veiled reference to his own impending death on the cross and to his resurrection? Or does Jesus have another kind of "death and rebirth" in mind for his disciples as well? Jesus, no

doubt, had both meanings in mind. Jesus' obedience and death on the cross obtain for us freedom and new life in the Holy Spirit. His cross frees us from the tyranny of sin and death and shows us the way of perfect love and

readiness to lay down our lives in sacrificial service for the good of others.

Lord Jesus, let me be wheat sown in the earth, to be harvested for you. I want to follow wherever you lead me. Give me fresh hope and joy in serving you all the days of my life.

Since Pope Francis has declared this the year of St. Joseph and his Feast day is March 19th, he is encouraging us all to pray this prayer.

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son;

in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.

Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father

and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage,

and defend us from every evil. Amen.

Fifth grader Tommy B. is doing a great job

leading our school prayer and announcements

every morning.

Congratulations to all our Students of the Month!Keep up the good work.

On March 10th Fr. Jim gave such a beautiful homily for children on love, forgiveness, healing, and believing in oneself. (We could hear a pin drop!)

You are very much appreciated by our school community, Fr. Jim. Thank you!

Fourth grade students made flashlights with little bits as springboard to learn how to use

them (little bits) for future lessons in Science .
