Third Sunday in Lent ~ February 28, 2016
Thank you St. James Parishioners for your continued support Saint James Academy! Parents, students, teachers and faculty greatly appreciate your donations and purchase of raffle tickets!
It is that time when we come together as a school and a community to celebrate St. James Academy and the benefits of Catholic education. The gala fundraiser plays an important role in providing much needed funding to support the ever rising costs of educating our students, offering dynamic programs, assisting our amazing faculty and maintaining basic campus needs so that Saint James Academy can continue to be a premier Catholic school for our children and our school and parish families.
All parishioners are invited to attend the event and are encouraged to bring a group of friends. It is a really fun night and builds comradery between the school and parish communities. We also welcome sponsorships and donations. In addition, $10 raffle tickets will be sold by academy students after Mass and at the Friday Fish Feasts. The parish is a very important part of the Academy community. If you have any questions about the event or what you can do to help you can contact me directly. Gala 2016 Event Chair, Kelli Fuller (858) 692‐0065 or [email protected]

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION Our Old Testament Reading, the First Reading, on this Third Sunday of Lent, relates the narrative of Moses and the Burning Bush. Like many readings which we hear throughout our lives, this is an image and a story with which most of us are familiar. Also, through Moses’ experience there is a stewardship message for each of us.
As Moses ap‐proaches the bush, God calls out “Moses, Moses!” The fact that the Lord repeats Moses’ name gives the situa‐tion a sense of urgency. Perhaps God feels the same sense of urgency in relation to each of us. God calls us, and He calls us by name, but too often we do not hear, or we do not pay attention. Probably most often we are not even listening.
The second aspect of stewardship indicated in this passage from Holy Scripture is found in God’s next statement, “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” Removing sandals was an act of respect, a sign of humility. To fully live lives of stewardship requires these traits from each of us — to be alert and aware that God is speaking to us, but we must listen, and to live our lives, especially our stewardship lives, with a sense of humility. That is, after all, how we really show love for our God and for one another.

REFLECIÓN DOMINICAL
Nuestra lectura del Antiguo Testamento, la primera lectura, en este tercer domingo de Cuaresma, se refiere la narración de Moisés y la zarza ardiente. Al igual que muchas lecturas que oímos lo largo de nuestras vidas, esto es una imagen y una historia con la que la mayoría de nosotros estamos familiarizados. Además, a través de la experiencia de Moisés no es un mensaje de la administración de cada uno de nosotros.
Como Moisés se acerca al arbusto, Dios llama "Moisés, Moisés!" El hecho de que el Señor repite el nombre de Moisés da la situación de un sentido de urgencia. Tal vez Dios siente la misma sensación de urgencia en relación con cada uno de nosotros. Dios nos llama, el cual nos llama por su nombre, pero demasiado a menudo que no se oye, o que no se presta atención. Probablemente lo más a menudo ni siquiera estamos escuchando.
El segundo aspecto de la administración se indica en este pasaje de la Sagrada Escritura se encuentra en la siguiente declaración de Dios "quita las sandalias de tus pies, porque el lugar en que estás es tierra santa." Sandalias de Extracción fue un acto de respeto, un signo de humildad . Para completamente vivir vidas de mayordomía requiere que estos rasgos de cada uno de nosotros ‐ que estar alerta y consciente de que Dios está hablando a nosotros, pero tenemos que escuchar y vivir nuestra vida, especialmente la vida de custodia, con un sentido de humildad. Esto es, después de todo, la forma en que realmente mostramos amor a nuestro Dios y por los demás.
Ex 3: 1‐8a, 13‐15; Salmo 103: 1‐4, 6‐8, 11; 1 Cor 10: 1‐6, 10‐12; Lc 13: 1‐9

The main job of a Sacristan is to set up for Mass and to clean up afterwards. You can volunteer once a month or as a substitute. We also need volunteers to wash the linens used during the Mass at their homes.
It is a great way to contribute your time and talents to serve God in this special ministry.

Thank You!! A big thank you to all who participated in the Blood Drive on February 14! 30 pints were contributed.
Because the components of a single pint saves two lives on the average, we saved 60 lives that day. Over the many years that St. James has held Blood Drives, your
donations have saved over 9000 lives. That’s a good sized town! Thank you so much.
The next Blood Drive at St. James will be June 5th.

St. James—St. Leo Catholic Community is under the pastoral care of the Eudist Fathers, or Congregation of Jesus and Mary. We owe our name to Saint John Eudes who founded the Congregation in France in 1643. The Eudists currently operate in 15 countries, most of which are in the developing world. Evangelization, mainly with the poor and the youth, is our primary purpose, as well as formation to ministry in the
training of diocesan priests and lay ministers. Our motto is “To Serve Christ and His Church.” For more information visit: http://www.eudistes.org/english.htm
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Ash Wednesday is not observed by Eastern Christians, perhaps because, at least in Orthodox practice, weekdays are not proper days for the Divine Liturgy. Typically, “Great Lent” has a bit of a prelude. On “Meatfare Sunday” the faithful have their last chance to eat meat for the entire period of Great Lent. A week later, “Cheesefare Sunday” has dairy on the menu for the last time until Pascha (Easter). At twilight on Cheesefare Sunday, officially called “Sunday of Forgiveness.” the church gathers for “Forgiveness Vespers.” The faithful identify with Adam and Eve, forgiving one another in order to experience God’s forgiveness. The desire to set aside all bitterness, and to achieve harmony and reconciliation in the family and with one’s neighbors gives a remarkable energy to the transition into the days of penitence. At the end of the vespers liturgy, the décor of the church is changed to reflect the new season.
How is your Lenten fast going? Imagine the Eastern tradition. No meat, no fish, no dairy, no wine or oil. Some traditions permit vegetable oil; everyone goes without olive oil. Happily, strict fasting is not permitted on the Sabbath or the Lord’s Day, so on Saturday and Sunday the fast is somewhat mitigated, and wine and oil are allowed. If the Feast of the Annunication falls during Great Lent, then fish may be served.

Merciful Lord,
As we embark on our journey of renewal
toward the great paschal feast of Easter,
teach us to be good stewards of your mercy and forgiveness,
so that we may extend these gifts to others.
Give us the strength to bear witness to you at all times,
even in times of stress and adversity.
And fill our hearts with love
that we may be faithful to the Gospel Jesus pro‐claimed
and ready to celebrate his resurrection.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
