A Message from

Our Pastor

The devil said to him, "All this will

be yours, if you worship me." Jesus

said to him in reply, "It is written:

You shall worship the Lord, your

God, and him alone shall you

serve." - Lk 4:6a, 7-8

On this First Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reading tells us

about the temptation of Christ. It is good to notice that the

Gospel pictures this happening almost immediately after the

Lord's baptism in the Jordan River. In the words of the Gospel,

"Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into

the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate

nothing during those days and when they were over he was

hungry." Now as far as I can tell, that is probably the biggest

understatement in all of the Scriptures! I know that, for myself,

just trying to observe fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good

Friday - and that is just having one main meal and two lesser

ones - is difficult enough, but trying to think of going for forty

days without any major meal is almost impossible to

comprehend. Of course, the devil wasted no time in tempting

Jesus with the simplest of temptations - a piece of bread! Can

you imagine how good that must have looked to Jesus? The

devil is no dummy; he knows very well how to tempt us. And

if he was bold enough to tempt the Lord himself, just imagine

how much more he has us on his radar scope, and how well he

knows the things that we are attracted to. The temptations of

Jesus should teach us many things...among which is how we

need to steer clear of temptations since we are not as strong as

we might think. To put ourselves in the path of temptations is

setting ourselves up for a big failure.

The cleverness of the evil one is legendary. Satan even

quoted Scripture to Jesus! But, of course, Jesus was wise

enough to hand it right back to him. Do you think any of us

would be that sharp? And even if we were, could we do that

multiple times as Jesus did? The point is that we need to avoid

temptations. Too often we let our pride get in the way by

thinking that we can overcome any temptation that comes

our way, but in reality we are setting ourselves up for disaster.

This Lent is a great opportunity to get some practice in learning

how to avoid temptations. Sometimes the best approach for us

is an indirect one. When temptations come, try to find ways to

distract yourself. Be aware of the kinds of things that tempt

you and also be aware of the kinds of things that you find

uplifting and enjoyable to think about and try to turn to one

of those when you are being tempted. In that way you can

"distract" yourself out of a temptation. So often the direct

approach, like thinking "I must get rid of this thought", can be

the worst approach since it only serves to make the temptation

stronger! If the devil is bold enough to tempt Jesus repeatedly,

we can be sure that we are seen as easy targets. Ask Jesus' help

to turn your mind to other more pleasant and uplifting things.

A blessed Lent lies before us!

Notice that Jesus “was led by the Spirit into the

wilderness.” What is a wilderness in your life to

which the Holy Spirit is leading you this Lent?

Perhaps there are uncharted areas in your marriage or

family relationships which you have avoided? In the

forty days of Lent, it is not a matter of us working on

things but God working in us. Open your heart, trust

the Spirit and spend this Lent in “your wilderness.”

BLESSING BAGS FOR THE HOMELESS The 4th Graders in

Room 213 waited in anticipation for their buddy activity

with the Preschoolers. This would be a very special event

because they pray for the homeless each and every day and

now would have an opportunity to put their words into

action. Items had been collected by the 4th Graders as well

as Preschool and Pre-K students that included bars of soap,

toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, granola bars, etc. The

students gathered in Bedell Commons and together filled

each blessing bag. After the bags had been filled, the 4th

Graders and Preschoolers prayed over the bags asking God

to care for and bless each person who will receive one. It

was a very meaningful experience for everyone.

PARISH MISSION We pray you will be joining your fellow

parishioners for our upcoming Lenten Event - the Parish

Mission! "Blessings for Parish Life: Living the Beatitudes on

a Daily Basis" will be presented by Fr. Thomas Dragga. We

will focus our attention on the Beatitudes and recognize the

blessings we have received from God. Please mark your

calendars for March 30 - April 2, 2019 - we look forward

to seeing you there!

50+ COMMUNITY "The priest shall receive the basket from

you and shall set it in front of the altar of the Lord." At each

Mass a basket is brought to the altar with our monetary

gifts. But there needs to be more that is put into this basket.

This Lent is a good time to reflect on what Jesus has given

us and what we give back to Him and to one another. We

have made our Lenten resolutions: prayer, celebrating daily

Mass, attending the parish mission, receiving the Sacrament

of Reconciliation, participating in the Anointing of the Sick,

fasting, and good works may be a few personal things. But

we are also a people who form a community of believers

whose mission is to be of service to one another. We do

not walk on this Lenten journey alone. What will we do for

others? What gifts will we put into the "basket" that is

brought to the altar of the Lord at each Mass? Have a

prayerful Lent!

PRO-LIFE

PRO-LIFE EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE from Priests for

Life (continued from previous weeks): Do I take proper care

of myself physically and spiritually, so that I can be more

effective in my pro-life work? Do I encourage my fellow pro

-lifers? Are all of my efforts guided by charity? Do I try to

grow in compassion for women who are tempted to have

abortions or who have had them in the past? Do I try to

understand their situation and learn more about their needs?

Do I help women find alternatives to abortion? (last part

next week) Visit www.priestsforlife.org for Lenten prayers,

links to legislators, podcasts, videos, and much more.

40 DAYS FOR LIFE began Ash Wednesday and goes

through Palm Sunday, April 14. 40 days of Prayer, Fasting,

Community Outreach, and Peaceful Vigils. Coordinate your

Lenten sacrifices and almsgiving with one or more of the

following opportunities:

Reasons why I spend an hour in Adoration - Perpetual

Adoration Guardian Margaret (Peg) Galus. I love the new

Chapel, it always gives me peace of mind. I have been

visiting the Lord for years. Without Him I would never get

though my rough times. When I think of things that seem to

be to hard to handle, I think of how much God has suffered

for us. I could never come close to His suffering. Going to

my Holy Hour gives me a renewed lift to get me though my

next week. I always remember God saying “You can’t spend

one hour with me?” I think of all the things we do ...one

hour doesn’t even seem like I am giving anything.

It’s for me that I go. Just to show God, in a small way. that

I love Him. I have received blessings in my years praying at

my Holy Hour. My husband was going in for surgery with a

bleak finding and came out with the best results we could

have hoped for. Many little things occurred that have given

me hope and love for others. I pray that others can find

time to give one hour in this very confusing time. It’s the

best hour you can reward yourself with. God Bless.

Perpetual Adoration is in great need of guardians (see list

below) and substitutes. Please consider one of the hours if

not permanently, as a sub. There are great rewards waiting

for you in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Thank You.

Notes from the Blue Army: Part two of three parts of a

transcription of Fr. Johnny’s homily given in Medjugorje on

July 24, 2017. “I’d like to share with you about my last trip

to Medjugorje before I moved to Argentina two years ago.

Any of you who have ever had to move, especially a long

distance, know that you spend a lot of time throwing out

stuff that you don’t need. I realized the week before I came

to Medjugorje that my Rosary beads, which I got in the

Holy Land, were missing a bead. And I was in Medjugorje

and I was saying, “Well if there’s one place in the world

where it would be easy to get a set of Rosary beads, it’s

Medjugorje.” But I said to myself, “No, I have a set of

beads. I don’t want any more stuff to be carrying to

Argentina and I’ll stick with what I have.” And while I was

here in Medjugorje, one morning we got up very early to

visit the visionary, Vicka, and we were there at 7 a.m. She

arrived and gave a short talk, and then for an hour she

prayed in silence with all of us. As she came to begin her

talk, I met her briefly. I looked at her and said “How are

you?” She said, “I’m ok.” But I knew the way she said it, she

was actually a little weary. And I said, “Well, I’ll be praying

for you and we are all praying for you.” By the time she

finished her talk and time of prayer, I wanted to get back to

celebrate Mass at 10 a.m.. We had gotten a bus up and I got

a taxi back. I arrived in time for Mass, celebrated Mass and

afterwards went back to the house. Our guide said, “Fr.,

where did you go? Vicka wanted to talk with you. She gave

me this gift for you. She presented this gift to Our Lady for a

blessing. This gift has been blessed by a priest and Vicka

prayed, with this gift, God’s blessing upon you and upon

your life. And here it is.” And what do you think the gift

was? Rosary beads! I was very touched by that. In the

afternoon, I went to the Adoration Chapel, and I was sitting

down with my new beads and I asked the Lord, “What

message do you have for me by giving me these new

beads?” Almost immediately, the words that came into my

heart were “Every Hail Mary counts.” I was missing one

bead and the message that I was receiving from the Lord

was, “Every Hail Mary counts.” I was silenced and I was

bowled over by this awesome reality. I have meditated on

this awesome reality very often.” Remember, Every Hail

Mary counts! Come pray the Holy Rosary with the Blue

Army on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Adoration Chapel.

THANK YOU for making this year’s Underwear Drive a

great success for the Ozanam Center. An enormous amount

of items were donated by parishioners over the past month.

We are overwhelmed by the generosity of the St. Barnabas

parishioners. We delivered several loads of new and lightly

used donations of children’s, women’s and men’s underwear

and socks to the Ozanam Center at Holy Name parish.

These items are essential and greatly needed by our less

DONATIONS OF TIME, TALENT, and TREASURE

The Third Annual Diocesan-wide Retreat Day for Women

is Saturday, April 6 at St. Francis de Sales Parish, Akron from

9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Speakers include Fr. Jacob Bearer,

Margarita Selig and Therese Holderbaum. This year’s theme

CAPITAL UPDATE Sanctuary Project Update - The Sanctuary

project is well underway and hopefully we will be able to

move our tabernacle back into the church very soon. The

painting bid was awarded to KKP Painting Contractors at a

cost of $3,544.00. I am sure the painting will give a nice

finish not only to the tabernacle area, but also to the wall

extending along the NW side of the church. Father Ralph

chose the color and it will be a contrasting color to better

frame the significance of the presence of Jesus in the

Tabernacle. The contractor completing the repairs needed

to add an additional $2,800.00 to the project to reinforce

the ceiling infrastructure. The total cost of project will be

$19,280.00. Thank you for your patience and prayers. Our

next project will be the updating and replacing of our

Heating and Air Conditioning system. We will be requesting

bids during the month of March and will award the contract

in April. Our goal is to have the new Air Conditioning in

place for this summer and the new boilers and ventilation

for the school installed over the summer months. Your

continued support during this time is appreciated.
