Art and Environment

O God we praise you for the small, diminished things; for the health at the edge of our sicknesses, for the moment's quiet in the hours of storm, for the few that held when the many broke and ran, for an answer of love in a mob of hate. We praise you for the minor key, the oblique kindness, the hidden joy. May Jesus Christ understand us in whose name we pray. Amen. Some of you may be interested in the ways in which we have shaped art and environ-ment for Lent: Lent is a season "for the minor key." Lenten time is about reflection and contemplation, a time to examine ourselves--some even would say, a depressing time. The journey we are called to make in Lent is to confront our own mortality, our own frailty and broken-ness, our deep need for redemption and resurrection. So in Lent we journey to the cross. Along the way, our worship space reminds us of the harshness of life. There are no flowers, no celebratory hangings, little light. The sanctu-ary is stark, simple, spare. It reflects "the minor key," the diminished things that speak of death and dying. Together with the liturgy, music, and spoken words, the environment of our worship space serves as another lens--a way for us to see--and a way for Lent to "speak" its meaning to us.

Adoration

MONTHLY - HOLY HOUR The St. Catherine Women’s Council Prayer Reflection and Fatima Holy Hour will take place on: April 3rd at 11:00 a.m. during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This is a blessed way to join together and invoke God’s powerful love and protection on our church, our families and our world.

The Blessed Mother’s message to Lucia . . . “Jesus wishes to make use of you to make me known and loved. He wants to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it,

and those souls will be loved by God like flowers placed by me to adorn His throne.”

From the Diocese

March 13, 2020 Dear Parishioners and Parents, We want to inform you that Michael Medeiros, a musician, who worked at several of our parishes and one school (listed below) was arrested on Wednesday, March 11, 2020 on child molestation charges. As part of the requirements to work or volunteer any-where within our Diocese, Mr. Medeiros had cleared all Diocesan Safe Environment screenings, training and fingerprinting. Once we were informed by a church employee of the accusation, Child Protective Ser-vices was immediately called, the police were notified and an internal investigation was conducted. Mr. Medeiros is no longer cleared to work at any Diocesan entity. We want to assure that there have been no other reports brought to our attention re-garding Mr. Medeiros. If you have any information about this case, we ask that you con-tact Orange County Law Enforcement at (714) 647-7419. Our assistance ministry coor-dinator is available to assist anyone who has a complaint or report of sexual abuse at the Diocesan Reporting Line at (800) 364-3064. We ask for your prayerful support of all victims of childhood abuse and in particular for this victim and their family who are members of our Diocesan faith community.

SAN MARTÍN I (año 656) 13 de abril

Martín nació en Todi, Italia. Fue diácono de la Iglesia romana y posteriormente elegido Papa en el año 649. Fue notorio su ministerio porque no esperó la aprobación del emperador Constante II, sino que más bien, convocó a los obispos de Occidente en un concilio para combatir la herejía monotelita que sostenía que Jesús no había tenido voluntad humana, sólo divina. Puesto que el emperador era monoteli-ta, ordenó que lo mataran. Quien iba a hacerlo se acercó para comulgar de manos del Papa y en el mo-mento en que sacó el cuchillo quedó ciego. Martín fue arrestado en el año 653 por orden del Emperador acusado de usurpar el papado y tramar contra Constantinopla (Turquía). Fue llevado prisionero en un viaje que duró 15 meses en el cual se le torturó y se le expuso a la vergüenza pública. Dos años después fue desterrado y ahí sufrió el abandono, el frío y el hambre, hasta que le llegó la muerte. Ante su sufri-miento dijo: “Hagan de mí lo que quieran. Cualquier clase de muerte será un bien para mí”. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma 29 de marzo de 2020 Desde el abismo de mis pecados clamo a ti; Señor, escucha mi clamor. — Salmo 130 (129):1

DA GLORIA A DIOS

En el Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma, justo antes de entrar en la Semana Santa, somos llamados a Betania. Si hubiéramos sido amigos de María, Lázaro y Marta, y nos hubiéramos enterado que Lázaro estaba gravemente enfermo, probablemente lo habríamos dejado todo para estar con ellos. Eso es lo más sorprendente del compor-tamiento de Jesús. Pese a que era su amigo cercano, eligió mantenerse alejado, para que la gloria de Dios se manifestara. Este es un tema persistente en el Evangelio de Juan. Hasta el mismo final, las obras de Jesús son para dar gloria al Padre. A medida que nuestra jornada de Cuaresma llega a su apogeo, recordemos que, como personas que “se han revestido de Cristo” en el Bautis-mo, también somos llamados a dar gloria a Dios en nuestras actitudes y acciones.
