ST. PETER THE APOSTLE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ~ LIBERTYTOWN

Dear Parishioners;
As we get closer to the celebration of Easter, I want to encourage your participation in
the Sacred Triduum. These Three Days are the center of our faith and the celebration
of our salvation in Christ. Through them we are invited to participate in the saving ac-
tions Jesus did for us. The Sacred Triduum begins with Mass on Holy Thursday (7 PM
in the church). At this Mass we recall the events of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disci-
ples, and the gift of the Holy Eucharist. We re-enact the washing of the feet to remind
us of our call to be servants to one another. As the service comes to a conclusion, we
process with the Blessed Sacrament to the Repository in the chapel. A period of adora-
tion extends so that we may keep watch with Jesus as he requested of his disciples.
This year we will end the formal period of adoration with sung Compline, the Night
Prayer of the Church at 10:45 PM.
The Triduum continues on Good Friday with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion (3
PM in the church). This ancient service includes the reading of the Passion from the
Gospel of John, the Solemn Intercessions, the Adoration of the Cross and reception of
the Eucharist that was consecrated the night before on Holy Thursday. For those who
cannot make the afternoon service, we also celebrate the Scriptural Stations of the
Cross at 7 PM in the church.
The summit of the Triduum comes with the celebration of the Easter Vigil on Holy
Saturday evening beginning at 8 PM. Weather permitting we will begin outside on the
Promenade with the kindling and blessing of the New Fire. The newly lighted Easter
Candle will lead us back into church for the proclamation of the Exultet. The extended
Liturgy of the Word leads us to the Easter Gloria, the Alleluia and the Resurrection
Gospel. We then welcome new members into the Church through Baptism and Confir-
mation, renewing our own baptismal faith. The celebration of the Eucharist continues
as our newly baptized and confirmed Catholics receive Holy Communion with us for
the first time.
The celebration of this great feast continues on Easter Sunday. Please note the differ-
ent times for Mass on Easter: 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 AM.
I encourage you to come to any and all of our celebrations during the Sacred Triduum.
Peace,
Fr. Chuck

PARISH PRAYER:
Almighty God, my parish is composed of people like
me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if
I am friendly. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill
them. My parish will do great work, if I work with
my parish. It will make generous gifts to many just
causes, if I am a generous giver. It will welcome
other people to our worship and fellowship, if I in-
vite and welcome them. It will be a church of loyal-
ty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a church
with a noble spirit, if I am filled with these same
qualities. Therefore, with the help of God, I shall
dedicate myself to the task of being all the things
that I want my parish to be. Bless our journey to-
gether, Lord God. Amen!

This is your op-portunity to join in Evening Prayer with others from the parish. If you are familiar with Evening Prayer, pray with us on the Fridays of Lent. If this is new to you, come and experience this reflection on the mys-tery of Christ, using scripture and prayer. Evening Prayer is celebrated towards the end of the day in order that we may give thanks for what has been giv-en us, or what we have done well, during the day. The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office, is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with pray-er. The Church exhorts us all to take up the practice and many people now pray the Liturgy of the Hours, particularly in the morning and the evening.
HEALING PRAYER TEAM MINISTRY: Whether it is spiritual, physical, financial or emotional, we all have times we need to ask the Lord to bring us to wholeness. We have a trained & dedicated prayer team available to help. Please call Rose Grimes at 240-394-2482.

PARISH NURSE NOTES: Win the Num-bers Game If you know your numbers for cholesterol, BP, BMI are creeping up in-stead of staying stable or decreasing, It may be time to look at ways to win this
numbers game! Of course if you smoke, that needs to be the highest priority to fix. There is plenty of free help available if you are ready to KICK the HABIT!! Otherwise, start making small changes to move in the right direction. Consider eliminating one soda a day and switching to water. Small changes can reap promising results. A couple of others are to MOVE. The Heart Assoc. recom-mends 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. Sound too intimidating? How about three 10 minute intervals a couple days a week and build up from there. Even that will be an accomplishment. EAT REAL FOOD - avoid processed foods whenever possible. Cooking an egg or piece of chicken is pretty easy. Buy some salad and fresh fruit and you are good to go. Frozen veggies and fruit are just as nutritious because they are frozen at their peak. Call your parish nurse, Marybeth Terrell at 301-845-6572, if you have questions.
NOTES ON SOCIAL CONCERNS BY DEACON JERRY: We hope the coins from your Lenten sacrifices are jiggling in your CRS Rice Bowls. We will collect those Bowls the weekend after Easter.
BLESSING BAGS FOR THE HOMELESS will be available after Masses the weekend of March 24/25, near the food pantry shelves. Thanks to the generosity of so many parishioners we will have 200 bags available. Bags will be packed by parish volunteers on March 18th, and include notes made by the children in Faith Formation and the youth in Youth Ministry. Please take only as many bags as you need to give to a homeless person you will see. Any bags left over will be given to the Freder-ick Rescue Mission and St Vincent DePaul.
MARYLAND MARCH FOR LIFE: Thanks to all who went down to Annapolis with our letters to our Frederick delegates, and thanks to all who signed them! If you wish to contact our delegates about our pro-life legislation, District 4 Senator Hough (410-841-3704) and District 4 Delegates, Kathy Afzali (410-841-3288), Barrie Ciliberti (410-841-
