FROM THE RECTOR

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As many of you might have heard, our Bishop has decreed the suspension of the celebration of public Masses until April 8. You can read his letter at https://austindiocese.org/ describing in more detail his directives for our ministry and operations over the next several weeks.

A few particular points for the Cathedral: The Cathedral will remain open for prayer from 6:30am-5:00pm.

We plan to keep Confessions from 11:00am-Noon, Mon.-Sat. We are working on setting up live streaming of Mass for this com-

ing Sunday, which will also be recorded and available online. We will maintain normal office hours of 8:30am-5:00pm. Most

ministries and meetings are cancelled; please check with our office or the ministry leader to verify.

We will continue to update our website and social media with the latest information.

I know that this is a difficult time that causes much anxiety but I have confidence that it will bring out the best in us so the world may know through our love that only Christ can truly heal. It is in times like these that we can more clearly see our need for faith and the sacraments. Thank you for your patience and loving witness. Your Servant in Christ, Fr. Daniel Liu ________________________________________________________

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

Como muchos de ustedes sabrán, nuestro Obispo ha decretado la suspensión de la celebración de misas públicas hasta el 8 de abril. En este sitio https://austindiocese.org/ puede encontrar la carta que emitió con las instrucciones a detalle de cómo se llevaran acabo los ministerios y las operaciones de estas en las próximas semanas.

Estos son algunos puntos en particular en nuestra la Catedral:

La Catedral permanecerá abierta para orar de 6:30 a.m. a 5:00 p.m. Tenemos la intención de mantener las confesiones de 11:00 a.m. a mediodía, de lunes a sábado.

Estamos trabajando para configurar la transmisión en vivo de la misa para el próximo domingo, que también se grabará y estará disponible en línea.

Mantendremos el horario normal de oficina de 8:30 a.m. a 5:00 p.m. La mayoría de los ministerios y reuniones se cancelan; por favor verifique con nuestra oficina o el líder del su ministerio para verificar.

Continuaremos actualizando nuestro sitio web y nuestras redes sociales con la información más reciente si hay algún otro cambio.

Sé que es un momento muy difícil que causa mucha ansiedad, pero tengo confianza de que esto nos ayudará a sacar lo mejor de nosotros y así mostarle al mundo que solo con nuestro amor y el de Cristo puede sonar verdaderamente. Es en momentos como estos que en que podemos ver claramente nuestra necesidad de fe y los sacramentos. Gracias por su paciencia y amor. Su siervo en Cristo Padre Daniel Liu

Six Characteristics of an Everyday Stewardship for Lent – Gracious Vacations can be great times for refueling the body and renewing bonds within a family and between friends. No matter how good the vacation was, it is almost always good to get home when it is over. Sleeping in our own bed, taking a shower in our own bathroom, and resting on our own couch are some of the aspects of home we can miss while on the road. That’s why encountering truly gracious and hospitable people while we are away is so important. These people are not family, but they sure can provide for us a glimpse of home. They can be waiters at a restaurant, desk hosts at a hotel, or even Uber drivers. They enrich our lives if for only a moment, yet that moment can make all the difference.

When disciples of Jesus Christ act in a gracious manner to all those they meet, they provide a glimpse of home. This home is not in a house in a particular location, but it is a home prepared for all of us for eternity. No matter how comfortable we may be in our earthly homes, it truly pales in comparison to eternity with God. In that heavenly home, there is no darkness, only light. There are no tears, only joy. There is no hate, only love.

We are ambassadors for heaven by how we offer ourselves to others. Our stewardship of hospitality allows others to see a glimpse of what God promises to us. Unless we truly step up and act in a gracious manner, will those we encounter ever know the Truth? I hate it when I am on the road and fail to meet people full of joy and welcome. At least I can look forward to coming home. What do those along the way look forward to in the next life that you can’t show them a glimpse of in this one? -Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi

Missionary works of Cross Catholic Outreach: Fr. Antony Savarimuthu, our resident priest, will be speaking on behalf of Cross Catholic Outreach and its ministry around the world the weekend of March 28-29. Cross Catholic Outreach is a Catholic organization whose mission is to mobilize the global Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. It reach-es out to the poorest of the poor countries in Asia, Central America, South America, and, more specifically, Caribbean countries such as Haiti.

There are excellent and committed bishops from the U. S. as board members. More than 100 bishops from the U. S. have written a letter endorsing Cross Catholic Outreach, including our Bishop Joe Vásquez. Cross Catholic Outreach works in collaboration with the Dicastery* for Promoting Integral Human Development’s Section for Service of Charity and it received pontifical approval from the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, the Holy Father’s outreach to the developing world. For more information, visit: www.crosscatholic.org.

Brochures will be distributed during the weekend of March 28-29, at all Masses; Fr. Antony will preach at all the Masses and explain in depth about Cross Catholic. There will be no second collection. It is up to the generosity of parishioners to support this valuable ministry, extending your love towards the poor around the world during this time of Lent. Feel free to reach Fr. Antony by his phone: 551-697-9564, or email asavarimuthu@yahoo.com for further details.

* Dicastery: one of the official congregations of the Holy See through which the Pope conducts the regular administration of the Universal Church.

Seeing is much more than just a function of our eyes. We can look at something with clear vision but not really see it. Often what we think we see is colored by our presuppositions, prejudices, assumptions, and needs. We judge things by appearance, but God looks into the heart. God’s sight has a much wider range and far greater depth. Receiving things or people just based on appearance can lead us to erroneous and hurtful judgments. We think we are seeing clearly, but we are not. Allowing God to restore our sight so that we can truly see is a worthy goal for our Lenten journey. Look within and look without. What do you see? Allow God to complete the picture for you. Ask Him to give you the insight to look into someone’s heart. Don’t draw hasty conclusions or presume you know the truth. Be open and humble enough so that you can receive the sight that only God can give. ©LPi

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA

Las 6 Características de una Corresponsabilidad Diaria para la Cuaresma – La Amabilidad Las vacaciones pueden ser un gran momento para reabastecer de combustible el cuerpo y renovar los lazos dentro de una familia y entre amigos. No importa cuán buenas hayan sido las vacaciones, casi siempre es bueno llegar a casa cuando termina. Dormir en nuestra propia cama, bañarnos en nuestro propio baño y descansar en nuestro propio sofá son algunos de los aspectos del hogar que podemos extrañar mientras viajamos. Por eso es tan importante encontrarse con personas verdaderamente amables y hospitalarias mientras estamos fuera. Estas personas no son familiares, pero pueden proporcionarnos un vistazo del hogar. Pueden ser meseros en un restaurante, recepcionistas en un hotel o incluso conductores de Uber. Enriquecen nuestras vidas, aunque solo sea por un momento, pero ese momento puede hacer toda la diferencia.

Cuando los discípulos de Jesucristo actúan de manera amable con todos los que se encuentran, brindan un vistazo del hogar. Este hogar no está en una casa en un lugar en particular, pero es el hogar preparado para todos nosotros para la eternidad. No importa cuán cómodos podamos estar en nuestros hogares terrenales, realmente palidece en comparación con la eternidad con Dios. En ese hogar celestial, no hay oscuridad, solo luz. No hay lágrimas, solo alegría. No hay odio, solo amor.

Somos embajadores del cielo por cómo nos ofrecemos a los demás. Nuestra corresponsabilidad de la hospitalidad permite que otros vean lo que Dios nos promete. A menos que realmente demos un paso adelante y actuemos de manera amable, ¿conocerán la verdad algún día aquellos que nos encontremos? Odio cuando estoy de viaje y no encuentro gente llena de alegría y bienvenida. Al menos puedo esperar volver a casa. ¿Qué esperan aquellos en el camino hacia la próxima vida que no puedan mostrar en esta? -Tracy Earl Welliver ©LPi

VIVIR LA LITURGIA

Ver es mucho más que una función de nuestros ojos. Po-demos mirar algo con una visión clara, pero en realidad no lo vemos. A menudo, lo que creemos que vemos está colo-reado por nuestras presuposiciones, prejuicios, suposicio-nes y necesidades. Juzgamos las cosas por su apariencia, pero Dios ve al corazón. La vista de Dios tiene un alcance mucho más amplio y una profundidad mucho mayor. Reci-bir cosas o personas basadas solo en la apariencia puede llevarnos a juicios erróneos e hirientes. Creemos que esta-mos viendo claramente, pero no es así. Permitir que Dios restaure nuestra vista para que realmente podamos ver es un objetivo digno para nuestro trayecto de Cuaresma. Mira hacia adentro y mira hacia afuera. ¿Que ves? Permite que Dios complete la imagen por ti. Pídele que te dé la visión de mirar el corazón de alguien. No saques conclusiones apresuradas ni presumas que sabes la verdad. Sé abierto y lo suficientemente humilde como para que puedas recibir la vista que solo Dios puede dar. ©LPi

RESPECT LIFE

VOCATIONS DISCERNMENT

Spiritual Adoption I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly… John 10:10 Initiated in 1991, this program provides an opportunity for children, teens, adults and senior citizens to prayerfully intercede on behalf of moms and unborn babies threatened by abortion. Participants spiritually adopt a baby at risk of abortion by pledging to pray daily for nine months.

Beginning March 25, we ask you to pray daily for your spir itual adopted baby and the baby’s parents. This child of yours is known to God and in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet this child whose life was saved by your prayers.

Adopción Espiritual He venido para que tengan vida y la tengan en abundancia ... John 10, 10 Iniciado en 1991, este programa simple pero eficaz ofrece una oportunidad para que los niños, adolescentes, adultos y personas de la tercera edad para interceder en oración en nombre de las madres y los bebés no nacidos amenazados por el aborto. Los participantes adoptan espiritualmente a un bebé en riesgo de aborto mediante la promesa de rezar la oración Arzobispo Fulton J. Sheen al día durante nueve meses.

A partir del 25 de marzo le pedimos que oren diariamente para su bebé adoptado espiritual y los padres del bebé. Este hijo suyo se conoce a Dios y en el mundo futuro se espera que se encontrará con este niño cuya vida fue salvada por sus oraciones.
