Celebrating God’s Gifts, March 9-11

Third Sunday of Lent March 8, 2015

Join us and Augustinian Father Jim Friedel for a Lenten Parish Mission, March 9-11. Each evening will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the church. The nursery will be available for childcare each night. March 9 - “The Gift of God’s Love For Us” The opening night of the retreat seeks to consider the reason Jesus came among us, namely, to tell us of God’s Love for us. For various reasons, many people find it difficult to believe in God’s love for them. March 10 - “The Gift of God’s Forgiveness” Having tasted a little of what God’s love for us is, the second evening provides an opportunity to experience God’s compassion-ate forgiveness. The IHM Women’s Club will be sponsoring a Lenten meal prior to the start of the mission at 6:00 p.m. in the Historic Church. March 11 - “The Gift of the Eucharist” It is around the table of the Lord that we are nourished, challenged, and comforted by the Word, by the Body and Blood of the Lord, and by the presence of one another. Our Parish Mission will conclude in gathering together to celebrate the Eucharist. Father Friedel will be offering “mini missions” each morning after the 8:30 a.m. Mass. He will also be preaching at all English Masses this weekend, so please welcome him to our community!

2855 Briarcliff Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30329

Through worship, education, and service, we continue the work of Jesus.

Assembly this term. He will also

talk about ways that we can live out

the call of Catholic Social Teaching

to "responsible citizenship" - being

issues that the gospel calls us to address. There will be time for

a question and answer session, in which we can explore how

Georgia legislative priorities line up with the principles of

Catholic Social Teaching (http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-

teachings/what-we-believe/catholic-social-teaching/seven-

themes-of-catholic-social-teaching.cfm). The talk begins at

6:30 p.m. and we will wrap up by 7:45 so that any attendees

who wish to can then receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation

(as the Lenten penance service begins at 7:00 p.m. that

evening). We hope to see you! Questions, contact Sarah

Mancini at sarah.bolling@gmail.com.

Immaculate Heart of Mary

Catholic School

National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence March 8, 2015

Recently two of our staff members and several of our parents took part in a mission trip to Jamaica. For the 10th straight year IHM sent a contingency to serve with the adults and children of Mustard Seed Ministries. Mustard Seed helps so many in need, with the focus being on “abandoned, handicapped children,” who are “the most defenseless of our society.” This year staff members Katrina Vader and Dalia Quintanilla represented IHM school in Jamaica. Both were first-time participants, and both came home with wonderful tales of service and gratitude. Dalia recounted the experience for us: “The mission trip was an amazing experience. I went because I wanted to give my time to help others, but instead I ended up getting more out of the experience than I ever imagined. I came back with a renewed sense of purpose.”

Dalia and Katrina took time out to

pose for the camera. Below,

Mustard Seed, and Dalia helping

another IHM volunteer haul dirt on

the worksite.

The volunteers who participate in the Mustard Seed mission trip

each year are responsible for funding their own travel. Above

several of the attendees count donations after IHM School held a

fundraiser day for them.

FOLLOWING OUR ELECT TOWARD EASTER RCIA COORDINATOR DREW DENTON

Did you decide to “give up” something this Lent?

Are you praying more than usual? Are you giving

an extra portion of your time or money to people

in need? If you answered “yes” to any of these

questions, then you are, in a sense, participating

in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

At the Rite of Election on February 22, Archbish-

op Gregory recognized as “Elect” the 39 adults

and schoolchildren who are preparing to receive

the Sacraments of Initiation here at IHM this

Easter. Their forty-day journey toward the waters

of Baptism will be marked by prayer, reflection,

sacrifice, and service. The rest of us are called to

join the Elect on their journey—to make similar

preparations for Easter, when we will renew our

own baptismal promises.

The soon-to-be-baptized among us continue to rely on our prayers and example.

But the season of Lent also turns the tables and asks the rest of us to follow their

example. They have chosen to embrace the cross of Christ; they have staked

their hope to his resurrection. We made the same commitment in our Baptism.

Are we prepared to live it out?

FORMACION EN LA FE

ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK

ACTIVIDAD DE LA SEMANA

Elija una de las siguientes actividades

para seguir reflexionando sobre las

lecturas del domingo:

En familia, conversen acerca del enojo.

¿En qué momentos es útil o se justifica

enojarse? ¿Cuándo es destructivo el

enojo? Pida a cada miembro de la

familia que hable acerca de cómo

puede expresar sus sentimientos de

enojo en forma positiva.

Participe con su familia en la reunión

de reconciliación de su parroquia

durante la Cuaresma. Recuerde a sus

hijos que Dios siempre nos ama y

siempre está dispuesto a perdonarnos.

Conversen acerca de las maneras en

que su familia puede mostrar respeto

por la casa de Dios. Comente las

siguientes preguntas: ¿Qué debo hacer

en la casa de Dios?

Enseñe a los miembros de la familia

acerca de las distintas maneras en que

honramos a Dios en la Iglesia.

Conversen acerca de las maneras en

que honramos a Dios en el hogar.

Choose one of the following activities as

a way to further reflect on the Sunday

readings:

Have a family discussion about anger.

When is anger useful or justified?

When is anger destructive? Have each

family member talk about how he or

she can communicate his or her angry

feelings in a positive way.

Participate in the parish reconciliation

service during Lent with your family.

Remind children that God always loves

us and is always willing to forgive us.

Talk about ways your family can show

respect for God’s house. Discuss the

following questions: What should I do

in God’s house?

Help family members learn about ways

we honor God in church. Talk about

ways we honor God at home.

THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT Exodus 20:1–17; 1 Corinthians 1:22–25; John 2:13–25 “You shall not have other gods beside me. You shall not carve idols for

yourselves  … you shall not bow down before them and worship them.”

Reading this line we might think of the idols that the Israelites made from

gold and then worshipped, excusing ourselves of such practices. And so

when we examine our conscience, we might just skip the First

Commandment. Perhaps, though, as we keep this season of Lent, we

might want to dwell on this commandment, thinking over what is the most

important thing in our life. Where do you put your time, thought, and

money? It is easy to mold idols by what family, friends, and coworkers

expect of us. It is much harder to keep our eyes on the vision that God

desires.

The portrayal of the Temple as Passover nears in today’s Gospel shows us

a marketplace, not a place where the community gathers to praise God.

We can see here that the economy is an idol among the money changers

and the marketers in the Temple. Jesus drives them out in an effort to

cleanse the Temple. Perhaps you would like to take time to examine what

rules your life and ask Jesus to cleanse you. Our dependence should be on

God, for it is in him that we find wisdom and strength. As the Second

Reading states, “the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and

the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” © Liturgy Training Publications. 1-800-933-1800. Written by Michael R. Prendergast. Scripture quotations are from

TERCER DOMINGO DE CUARESMA Éxodo 20:1–17; 1 Corintios 1:22–25; Juan 2:13–25 “No tendrás otros dioses junto a mí. No te harás ningún ídolo… no los

adorarás ni les darás culto”. Imaginamos los ídolos de oro que los

israelitas se hacían para adorarlos, pero nada de eso nos ocurre. Cuando

examinamos nuestra conciencia sobre el primer mandamiento, nada salta;

nos lo saltamos. Sin embargo, durante esta Cuaresma, vale la pena

detenernos en ese mandamiento, pues es lo más importante de nuestra

vida. ¿Dónde está tu tiempo, tus pensamientos y tu dinero? Es fácil

modelar ídolos con lo que la familia, amigos y colegas esperan de

nosotros. Menos fácil resulta mantener la mirada que Dios quiere.

El evangelio pinta el templo como un lugar de mercado, no como un

espacio donde la comunidad se reúna para alabar a Dios. Podemos ver que

la economía es un ídolo para los cambistas y los vendedores en el templo.

Jesús los expulsa en un intento de purificar el templo. Hagamos tiempo

para verificar qué rige nuestra vida y pedirle a Jesús que nos purifique.

Debemos depender sólo de Dios, pues en él encontramos sabiduría y

fortaleza. Como señala la segunda lectura, “la locura de Dios es más sabia

que la sabiduría de los hombres, y la debilidad de Dios es más fuerte que

la fortaleza de los hombres”. © Liturgy Training Publications. 1-800-933-1800. Texto de Michael R. Prendergast. Texto bíblico conforme La

March 8: Did you know you can donate Real Estate to The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia to benefit

the parish.

The Foundation follows a due diligence process to determine if the property can be accepted. Some people have

left their home to the parish in their will and some have donated their home or property during their life. You will

get a nice tax deduction when you donate real estate. When the Foundation sells the property, it invests the

proceeds into the parish endowment fund. If you would like more details on this type of charitable gift, please

contact Diane Duquette, Director of Gift Planning at the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia: 404-497-9440 or

email dduquette@cfnga.org. Visit the planned giving page on the Foundation website: www.cfnga.org for

additional methods of making donations to the parish from your assets.

SECOND COLLECTIONS

Next week’s Second Collection will benefit Catholic Relief

Services.

This collection supports six Catholic agencies that touch

more than 100 million lives around the world. The funds

from this collection help provide food to the hungry, support

to displaced refugees, and Christ’s love and respect to all

people. Please give generously to the Catholic Relief

Services Collection and help Jesus in disguise. Visit

http://www.crs.org for more information.

GIVE TIME, PRAYER, ATTENTION Generosity in time and attention to God and others will transform us; begin and end

each day in conversation with God; pray for those who have asked for your prayers, and

for those whose needs are known only to God; give your attention to someone who is

alone; find a need that your time and talent can fill, and fill it!

IHM, para oír sus confesiones. Este servicio será bilingüe y comenzará a las 7:00 p.m. en

la iglesia.

VENTA DE ROSARIOS Y JOYAS CATOLICAS 14/15 de marzo y 21/22 de marzo

Los próximos dos fines de semana el grupo juvenil de adolecentes tendrá una venta de

joyas y rosarios en la iglesia para recaudar fondos para el Ministerio Juvenil. Todos los

fondos serán para el ministerio. Con este dinero entregaremos becas a los jóvenes.

Invitamos a todos los jóvenes que quieran participar en el Retiro Sonfest que vengan

ayudar estos dos fines de semanas después de todas las misas del sábado y

domingo—¡entre más ayuden, mejor!

Habrá una variedad de rosarios, medallas, crucifijos, cadenas y pulseras. Si gusta comprar

cualquier artículo para usted mismo o para regalar, visite la mesa en la parte de atrás

después de la misa. Para más información llamen a Kathy Guerrero (extensión 222).
