Fifth Sunday of Lent
Of Many Things…. “I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you.”
Today begins Holy Week – it is the holiest week in our
Christian Tradition. In our prayer we follow Jesus from his
triumphant entry into Jerusalem through the Last Supper, his
walk to Calvary and his death on the Cross, and finally
celebrate his Resurrection from the dead.
Holy Week begins next Sunday
with the commemoration of Christ’s
Passion. Our celebration begins with
Jesus’ triumphant entry into
Jerusalem. Sunday is called Palm
Sunday because we bless the palm
and read the Gospel story of Jesus
hailed as King and the long awaited
Messiah. (Mt 21:1 – 11) The liturgy
begins with rejoicing but the mood liturgy quickly changes as
we move from the joyous anticipation of the One who comes
to save all people – to the angry cries of all people wanting to
crucify Jesus. Sunday is also called Passion Sunday. What
began with exaltation ends in a deafening silence.
Reflection: What is one thing you will do next week to
make it a “holy week?”
(On Sunday, March 29 at 3 pm we will have our annual Palm
Sunday Faith Reflection Service. Seven parishioners will share a
moment from their lives when they knew God’s presence, in joy
or in pain. Each reflection is followed by sacred music by our
Adult Choir. A light reception follows. Come with an open heart
to listen and to pray.)
The Sacred Triduum begins with Holy Thursday and ends
with the Easter Vigil. The Latin term ‘triduum’ means ‘three
days’ and refers to Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy
Saturday celebrated as one continuous liturgical feast as we
celebrate the Last Supper of Jesus and his apostles; their walk
to the Garden of Gethsemane, the place of Jesus’ agony and
arrest; the trial and torture leading to his death on Calvary;
his burial and his victory over sin and death in his
resurrection. These three days are truly, and for this reason,
the high holydays of our Catholic Christian Tradition.
Holy Thursday: At 7:30 pm we will commemorate the Last
Supper, Christ’s gift to us of himself. Central to this Liturgy is
the washing of the feet, a reminder of Jesus’ mandate to love
one another as we have been loved – by God and by those
whose lives we touch. We proclaim this ritually through the
washing of the feet. You will be invited to have your feet
‘washed’. This involves holding one foot over the basin and
allowing the minister to pour water over your foot, and then
dry it with a towel. On Holy Thursday, will you participate in
this ritual of service and have your feet washed? If so, why? If
not, why not?
At the presentation of the gifts, in addition to the bread and
the wine, we present the oils of catechumens, chrism and oil
of the sick that have been blest by the Archbishop. We will
use these oils in the celebrations of our sacraments of
Baptism, Confirmation and the Anointing of the Sick. Our
Liturgy ends in silence with the rite of transfer of the
Eucharist to an altar of repose. This procession recalls Jesus’
journey into the night – from his meal with the disciples to
the Mount of Olives – and onto to Gethsemane where he
prayed for this cup to pass. Jesus invited his disciples to pray
with him. You are invited to pray at the altar of repose until
11 pm. Whether you stay or leave,
we unite in and keep a holy silence
as we go out into the night….
Reflection: What is one thing
you can do this Holy Thursday to
live Jesus’ command to love
another? Who needs your love,
your
forgiveness,
your
compassion?
(At 10 am on Good Friday, we make our annual Faith Walk
through town, joined with members of the other area churches,
remembering the walk Jesus made on his way to Calvary)
Good Friday: At 3 pm we commemorate the Lord’s Passion,
the only day of the year when Mass is not celebrated. The
altar was stripped bare after the conclusion of the Holy
Thursday liturgy and it remains so. There are no altar cloths
or candles. Songs are sung without accompaniment. The
liturgy consists of the reading of the Passion and Death of
Jesus from the Gospel of John, a reflection on the readings,
intercessions and communal veneration of the Cross. The
liturgy concludes with Communion, which was consecrated at
the Holy Thursday liturgy.
Reflection: What needs to ‘die’ in you so that new life
may take root?
Blessing of the Easter Food: Holy Saturday at noon in the
Atrium:
The blessing of Easter foods is an ancient practice and
varies by culture. A basket containing lamb meat (which of
course signifies Jesus, the Lamb of God), boiled eggs, dyed and
plain, Pascha (a special Easter bread), and other meats and
breads are blest for sharing at the Easter Day meal.
Easter Vigil: begins at 8 pm with a service of light, a fire lit
and blest, from which the Easter candle will be lit. This candle
remains in the sanctuary for the 50 days of Easters and is
used at baptisms and funerals throughout the year. We sing
the Exultet, proclaiming Christ our Light, our salvation. We sit
in a darkened Church as we read the stories that tell of our
salvation history, of the covenant God had with our ancestors
in faith and now has with us. We renew our baptismal
promises – our ‘yes’ to all that God has done for us.
Reflection: On Easter morn, with whom will you share
the good news of Jesus’ peace and joy?
Together, let us keep Holy Week holy. May we be renewed in our
faith as we walk with Jesus in life, through death, to resurrection.

Navigating the Rough Waters
Addiction: Two Major Myths
Addiction/alcoholism is a moral problem.
This is FALSE. Addiction is a PRIMARY disease, and is not caused by
other factors such as upbringing, environment, heredity, psychological
illnesses, etc. These are contributing factors, which can make the disease
worse. Changes in the brain occur as a result of addictive disease, thus
recovery from addiction usually cannot be accomplished by personal
willpower despite the negative consequences of the drinking/drug. It is a
PROGRESSIVE disease, which if left untreated-gets worse. It affects
ALL known life areas: health, relationships, family, job, finances, legal,
school, and spirituality. As the disease progresses, the addict makes
choices that are often at odds with his/her moral code in all of these
areas. For these the addict is responsible, and recovery helps the addict
to deal with the pain/shame of these choices. An addict in recovery need
not live any longer in guilt and shame.
Addiction/alcoholism is a “symptom” of some underlying psychiatric
problem.
Studies show that this is FALSE. Like all diseases, addiction is often
hard to understand. There is no definitive cause connected to the disease.

serious illness, suffering with mental and emotional disabilities,

St. Joseph Medal of Appreciation - March 22 at 3:00pm (St. Joseph Cathedral, Hartford)
I am happy to announce that Kathleen and Tom Magrane are receiving the St. Joseph Medal of Appreciation for their outstanding service and
ministry to the work of the Church here at Sacred Heart Parish. This medal is awarded each year to deserving parishioners in parishes throughout the
archdiocese. Kathleen and Tom will receive it from Archbishop Blair in a ceremony on Sunday, March 22 at 3:00pm. The ceremony is open to all.
Kathleen and Tom have been faithful and dedicated parishioners for many years. During that time, both of them have served terms on the Parish
Council and presently both serve as Ministers of the Eucharist at Mass as well as in service to the homebound. Kathleen is one of our Stephen
Ministers, directs and arranges all of our hospitality for the various occasions we celebrate here at Sacred Heart and is a member of the Extend-aHand Committee as well. Tom has for many years been one of the altar servers for funerals here at Sacred Heart and as such is part of our larger
ministry to the bereaved. He also teams up with Kathleen in the ministry of hospitality. Thank you, Kathleen and Tom for your wonderful dedication
and commitment to Sacred Heart Parish! I speak for us all in affirming the award you will receive. May God continue to bless you both!

The Sacrament of Reconciliation in Lent
As you know, we offer, with all churches in the archdiocese, the Sacrament
of Reconciliation in Lent from 6-7PM each Monday in Lent. This week,
both Monsignor Hossan and I will be available for the sacrament and we
will celebrate it within a communal service beginning at 6PM. We offer
such services each Advent and Lent. As you may know, the communal
service consists of an opening hymn, prayer, reading of Scripture, a homily,
examination of conscience and closing prayer. Participation in the entire
service with a sincere sorrow for sin and intention to change our lives
forgives non-serious (venial) sin without individual confession to a priest.
At the end of the communal service, we will, however, offer the opportunity
for those who desire it to confess individually to one of us, if they wish.
As I mentioned last weekend, Lent is the particularly appropriate time to
celebrate this sacrament. I suggest that all Catholics should do so at least
once a year during Lent. Please join us on this Monday night, on one of the
following Mondays in Lent, at our normal Saturday afternoon confession
time 3:30-4:15PM or by personal appointment 24/7 during Lent.
