PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES COLLECTION Next weekend, March 25-26, the Cathedral Parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC). Funds from this collection help provide food to the hungry, support to displace refugees, and Christ’s love and respect to all people here at home and abroad. Next weekend, please give generously to the CRSC and help Jesus in disguise. Learn more about the collection and the good it does and the services it provides at www.uscb.org/catholic-relief .
THIRD SUNDAYOF LENT When we read the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, the story of God leading the Israelites to freedom from slavery under Moses' direction, there seems to be a constant theme: “It seems grumbling was the Israelites’ way of life. They turn on Moses, their mediator with God. He gets the brunt of their wrath, but they are really murmur-ing against God. Previously they grumbled for food, now they need water. Of course they need water. They are in one of the driest spots in the world. They complained to Moses and, as he usually does, he turned to God for help. Once again God comes through for them Israelites. Despite their lack of trust, and through Moses’ mediation, God brings forth water from the rock. “So far God has freed the Israelites from slavery, fed them in the desert, given them water from a rock and will now continue to give them care and guidance during their 40-year journey. What must Israel do in return? She must draw on these experiences and learn to trust God. But as the desert narrative proceeds the people will continue to grumble and distrust God. “Today’s Exodus passage is one of a series of ‘murmuring stories.’ They not only emphasize the distrust of the people, they also stress God’s prevailing care for them. The place in the desert where the grumbling took place was ‘Massah’ -- which means ‘testing’ and ‘Meribah’ – which means ‘dissatisfaction.’ At one time or another we find ourselves in our own ‘Massah’ or ‘Meribah.’ It’s when life presses down on us from many sides, too much to han-dle this day. We learn from Exodus how patient God is with us. We may have forgotten God’s goodness to us in the past and so we find our faith trembles with fear and doubt. Our prayers are strengthened as we are reminded by Leviticus and Jesus of God’s boundless compassion and love for sinners.” (“First Impressions” Sunday Scripture Reflections, THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT (A) MARCH19, 2017, by Fr. Jude Sicili-ano, OP, www.preacherexchange.com)
COMMUNAL PENANCE SERVICE – LANSING REGION Next Sunday, March 26, St. Gerard Parish on the west side and St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in East Lansing, will both host the Lenten Communal Penance Services, both of which start at 2:00 pm. Along with song and prayer, Scripture and homily, there will be an examination of conscience to help people reflect on their lives since they last celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Individual confessions will be made available with the help of from 10 – 12 priests at each site. Please consider taking advantage of these opportunities. Confessions are heard here at St. Mary Cathedral on Sat-urdays from 2:00 – 3:30pm (not Holy Saturday, April 15), and most Thursdays from 11:30 am until all are heard (not Holy Thursday, April 13).
The impact that Catholic Charities make throughout the state of Michigan is one that lasts. Service is an essential
part of the Catholic Church’s mission to treat every person as Christ would treat them.
