5th Sunday of Lent
Theme: Death and New Life
Breaking Open the Word
Suggested text for faith sharing: Today’s Gospel
Step One: Listen to the Word
As you hear this reading, what words or phrases strike you? What
in this reading touches your heart? What image of faith does this
reading give you?
Step Two: Look into Your Life
Question for Children: Name one thing you can do or stop doing
that will help you have a better friendship with Jesus.
Question for Youth: Sometimes one thing needs to die in order for
something new to be born. When have you experienced this in your own
life? What do you need to let go of now for something new to grow?
Question for Adults: Name one area in your life that you need to let
go of, to die to, in order to rise with new life.

2ND COLLECTION FOR ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, TODAY
This weekend’s second collection is for St. Vincent de Paul.
LAST STATIONS OF THE CROSS & LENTEN SOUP SUPPER
This Lenten season, our period of fasting and penitential
preparation preceding Easter is almost over. On Friday
evening, March 27, at 6:15 pm, we will follow once more in
Christ’s Passion through the Stations of the Cross. There will
be a last soup supper in Farana Center after the Stations of
the Cross. This soup supper will be prepared and donated by
the South Asian Community of Resurrection. The soup supper will be
free but an offering for the needy will be gratefully accepted. We welcome
everyone to join us at our last soup supper of this Lenten Season.
THE LIGHT IS ON FOR YOU
This week we continue the “Light is On for You”
Lenten initiative. We encourage you to invite family or friends to
consider receiving the healing, freedom and light of the Sacrament
of Reconciliation. During Lent, every Catholic Church throughout
the County of Santa Clara, including our own, will offer the
Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesday (March 25) evenings
from 6-8 pm. To find confession times at other churches and for
