Christ the Good Shepherd, Oswego, New York

134 East Fifth Street

Oswego, New York 13126

Pastor: Rev. John W. Canorro

[email protected]

As we start to prepare for Easter during the upcoming Lenten season, we will

spend time together reflecting on Jesus’ journey. The Stations of the Cross

allow us to imagine that we are walking with Jesus as he carries His cross,

reminding us of the sacrifice He made to show His love for us.

Stations of the Cross will be held at CTGS on

Wednesdays during Lent at 6:00pm .

MARK YOUR

CALENDARS!

Fr. John will be doing a three

night Lenten mission at CTGS on

Monday, March 15, Tuesday,

March 16, & Wednesday,

March 17, which will also be

livestreamed.

More details to follow!

Lenten Brainstorming

- 486 February 28, 2021


When we return to the Church for the

Sacrament of Reconciliation, Jesus

rejoices like the father in the Parable of

the Prodigal Son. It is never "too late"

to return to Jesus and ask for

forgiveness. Imagine how joyful you

will feel upon confessing your sins, big

or small!

Confessions will be held at CTGS

on Wednesdays during Lent

from 5:00pm-5:45pm.

REMINDER:

Please remember to

social distance in the pews and when

entering and exiting the church.

Thank you!

Easter Floral Memorials

Our envelope company mistakenly omitted the Easter Floral Memorial envelope in your recent

packet. They are sending us substitute envelopes, which will be available at all the church entrances.

Memorial requests will be accepted through Friday, March 12.

You may place them in the collection box or drop them off at the rectory office.

What do I WONDER about this LENT?

paid to Jesus’ betrayer?

Quotes: Who said, “Would you betray

the Son of Man with a kiss?”

True of False: Satan tempted Jesus three times

in the wilderness.

W&W: Jesus was arrested in the Garden of

Gethsemane.

LO: 30 silver coins

Pe: Judas Iscariot

Qu: Jesus

ToF: True

Gloria

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of

good will. We praise you, we bless

you, we adore you, we glorify you,

we give you thanks for your great

glory, Lord God, heavenly King,

O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten

Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son

of the Father, you take away the

sins of the world, have mercy on

us; you take away the sins of the

world, receive our prayer; you are

seated at the right hand of the

Father, have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,

you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father.

Amen.

Creed

I believe in one God, the Father

almighty, maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible. I

believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the

only Begotten Son of God, born of the

Father before all ages. God from God,

Light from Light, true God from true

God, begotten, not made,

consubstantial with the Father; through

him all things were made. For us men

and for our salvation he came down

from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit

was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and

became man. For our sake he was

crucified under Pontius Pilate, he

suffered death and was buried, and

rose again on the third day in

accordance with the Scriptures. He

ascended into heaven and is seated at

the right hand of the Father. He will

come again in glory to judge the living

and the dead and his kingdom will have

no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the

Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds

from the Father and the Son, who with

the Father and the Son is adored and

glorified, who has spoken through the

prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic

and apostolic Church. I confess one

Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and

I look forward to the resurrection of the

dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

First Reading - A reading from the Book of Genesis

God put Abraham to the test. He called to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am!” he replied. Then God

said: “Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah.

There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you.” When

they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there and

arranged the wood on it. Then he reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son. But

the LORD’s messenger called to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am!” he

answered. “Do not lay your hand on the boy,” said the messenger. “Do not do the least thing

to him. I know now how devoted you are to God, since you did not withhold from me your

own beloved son.” As Abraham looked about, he spied a ram caught by its horns in the

thicket. So he went and took the ram and offered it up as a holocaust in place of his son.

Again the LORD’s messenger called to Abraham from heaven and said: “I swear by myself,

declares the LORD, that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your

beloved son, I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless as the stars

of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants shall take possession of the gates

of their enemies, and in your descendants all the nations of the earth shall find blessing—

all this because you obeyed my command.”

Responsorial Psalm

I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living.

Second Reading - A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans

Brothers and sisters: If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own

Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with

him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us, who will

condemn? Christ Jesus it is who died—or, rather, was raised— who also is at the right hand

of God, who indeed intercedes for us.

Gospel - A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark

Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.

And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no

fuller on earth could bleach them.Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they

were conversing with Jesus.Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Rabbi, it is good that we are

here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He hardly

knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them;

from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Suddenly, looking

around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. As they were coming down

from the mountain, he charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, except

when the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves,

questioning what rising from the dead meant.
