Lenten Gospel Acclamation
Penitential Rite
(Confiteor)
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault, through my most
grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels
and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to
the Lord our God.
Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was
buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose
Page 3
again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated
at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he
will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Prayer of the Faithful
Prep. of the Gifts: The Lord Is Kind and Merciful
Mystery of Faith
Amen
Sanctus (Holy, Holy)

Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra.
Creo en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, nuestro Señor, que fue concebido
por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de Santa María Virgen,
padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y
sepultado, descendió a los infiernos, al tercer día resucito de entre los
muertos, subió a los cielos y ésta sentado a la derecha de Dios, Padre
todopoderoso. Desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a vivos y muertos.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la santa Iglesia católica, la comunión de
los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de la carne y la
vida eterna. Amén.
Oración de los Fieles
Acto Penitencial
(Confiteor)
Yo confieso ante Dios todopoderoso y ante vosotros, hermanos,
que he pecado mucho de pensamiento, palabra, obra y omisión.
Por mi culpa, por mi culpa, por mi gran culpa.
Por eso ruego a santa María, siempre Virgen, a los ángeles, a los
Santos y a vosotros, hermanos, que intercedáis por mi ante Dios,
nuestro Señor.

Give and it will be given unto – XIII
They say the longest journey is from the head to the heart; knowing about a thing is one thing, and actually experiencing or
doing it takes a huge giant step. Another long journey is from the heart to the wallet; it’s one thing to think I am following
Jesus, and another to put my money where my commitment is. That is why Jesus said “where your treasure is there will your
heart be also.” We can kid ourselves into believing we are following Jesus, and still put nothing or a pittance into the
collection on Sunday, but if we are being truly honest we know that is nonsense. Look at it this way: What happens when
you are sitting in mass during the collection? Do you scramble to find a couple dollars to put into the plate? And as you are
doing so, are you worried about what others around you or the ushers will think if you put nothing into the collection? If the
collection at Mass makes you nervous, chances are you haven’t really planned to give at all, and if that is so, maybe you
shouldn’t! I have a theory that when we haven’t planned to give at the offertory, and then grudgingly put a buck in the
basket, it sucks more out than it puts in. God wants “hilarious” givers, not “grudging” givers. My advice is that if you are not
prepared, and have not happily committed yourself to give, then don’t. IHM pray for us. Fr. Jerry
Dad y se os Dara – XIII
Ellos dicen que el viaje más largo es de la cabeza al corazón; sabiendo de una cosa es una cosa, y actualmente
experimentadola o haciendola toma un paso gigante. Otro viaje largo es del corazón a la billetera; es una cosa pensar que
estamos siguiendo a Jesús, y otra poner mi dinero donde mi compromiso está. Por eso Jesús dijo “donde está tu tesoro alli
esta tu corazón también.” Nosotros podemos bromear en creer que estamos siguiendo a Jesús, y todavia no poner nada o una
tonteria en la colecta del Domingo, pero si somos verdaderamente honestos nosotros sabemos que es una tonteria. Veanlo de
esta manera: Que pasa cuando ustedes están sentados en la misa durante la colecta? Buscas apresuradamente para encontrar
un par de dolares para poner en la cesta? Y asi cuando lo estás hacienda, estás preocupado de lo que pensará la gente que está
sentada a tu alrededor o los que recogen las colectas si tú no pones nada en la cesta? Si la colecta en Misa te pone nervioso,
hay un chance que tú no tenias planeando dar en absoluto, y si ese fuera el caso, a lo mejor no debes! Yo tengo una teoria que
cuando nosotros no hemos planeado dar en el ofertorio, y después de malas ponemos un dolar en la cesta, molesta más sacarlo
que ponerlo. Dios quiere a gente que da con “alegria” y no los que dan de “malas.” Mi consejo es que si no estás preparado
y no estas comprometido a dar con alegria, entonces, no des!! Ora por nosotros Fr. Jerry

STEWARDSHIP CORNER
The waters of Baptism make us part of the
new covenant in Christ. But the bishop’s
pastoral letter on stewardship reminds us
that “there is a fundamental obligation
arising from the sacrament of baptism … that
people place their gifts , their resources - their selves - at
God’s service in and through the Church.”
