Roadmap for Courageously Living the Gospel
The mutually shared vision of the Diocese of St Petersburg is Courageously Living the Gospel. Each one of us are called to proclaim the Good News, to invite others to a deeper relationship with God, and to encounter our Lord in all we do. These might be easy words to say, but might be more challenging to actually do. Society might have us judge and pigeon-hole groups of people or individuals, causing us to dismiss them because they’re different from us or they don’t share the same values, beliefs, politics or general outlook on life that we do. As Christians, we are called to follow a different path. Such was the case in this weekend’s Gospel about the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus shows us that despite the woman being of a different nationality and belief, that they can have a dialog – a dialog which will change her life. In fact, she has a transformational experience which leads to others in town being transformed by her witness. The woman encounters our Lord in this meeting. Our Lord shows kindness and mercy; He meets her where she’s at and engages her in a simple conversation. He then proclaims to her that He is the one who can give her living water – a water which will satisfy her to eternal life. She then runs to town to proclaim to others what she witnessed and invites them to come and see. My dear friends, this is the roadmap for our vision. After having a personal encounter with Christ each Sunday at the Mass and in the Eucharist, you have an opportunity to invite others to come to know the love and mercy of God. Remember this entire encounter happened at the water well. Imagine what can happen at the coffee station or water cooler at your place of work. Pray for the courage this week to proclaim, invite, and encounter the Lord in all your life situations, and to share the Good News with others. --Bishop Gregory Parkes, Diocese of St. Petersburg I pray these lines find all doing well. I want to take this opportunity to “Thank You All” as a parish for responding so generously and lovingly as a parish by receiving Communion on the hand as well as your understanding of the other alterations made at Mass. This shows me that you are not selfish but in fact very generous in changing up what you do for the good of everyone, you truly reflect Jesus’ Heart. I will not mention any of this again because thanks to you all there is no need. This is not something for us to worry about at all, once we are doing what we can, taking sensible precautions we can live our lives peacefully. Just putting my two cents in for whatever it is worth – watching news is fine but do not keep the TV on and constantly be caught up. I’ll watch twice a day for about a half hour and that’s it. News is designed to keep your attention and they do a great job with that, but they can also get us unnecessarily hyped up. Do what you can to feel “ready” then give it to GOD – and don’t worry!!!! Today in our Gospel we meet a woman who seems to collect husbands – most people collect stamps or coins but not her. Jesus meets the woman where she is, he speaks with her which was not normally done. He offers her a life which would be life giving, peaceful and so much better than the life she currently knows. After speaking with her Jesus lets her know he knows her total history, not to make her feel bad but so that she understands he knows her and her situation. He proceeds to tell her all about her life, she then goes and “evangelizes” (unbeknownst to her) bringing others to Jesus. We evangelize by our actions and attitudes all the time. One aspect we can glean from today is –Have we gone over all the parts and aspects of our life with Jesus? He has been right there through it all but if He were to sit down and speak with us about our entire life thus far, would we be like this woman, accepting and fearless or would we be embarrassed? It is so important that we share our life with Jesus daily, the good as well as the bad and awkward. Spiritually and meditatively speaking I pick a mental place where I generally speak with the Lord, it is a photo that was in a hallway of the hospital when my Dad was there – a beautiful large tree and lush grass. In spending this time with our creator and Lord, wherever we meet him, it is so life giving, and we do receive that living water which satisfies like nothing else can. Have a great week! --Love, Fr. Mike
Next week, our parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC). Funds from this collection provide food to the hungry, support displaced refugees, and bring Christ’s love and mercy to all people here and abroad. Next week, please give generously to the CRSC and help Jesus in disguise. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.

Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma
Nuestra ruta para vivir valientemente el Evangelio La visión mutuamente compartida de la Diócesis de St. Petersburg es Vivir valientemente el Evangelio. Cada uno de nosotros somos llamados a proclamar la buena nueva, a invitar a otras personas a tener una relación más íntima con Dios y a un encuentro con nuestro Señor en todo lo que hacemos. Es fácil decir estas palabras, pero más difícil es ponerlas en práctica. La sociedad nos puede hacer juzgar a las personas o encasillar a grupos de personas haciendo que las descartemos debido a que son diferentes de nosotros o porque no comparten los mismos valores, creencias, pensar político o perspectiva general de la vida que nosotros. Como cristianos estamos llamados a seguir un camino distinto. Tal fue el caso en el Evangelio de este fin de semana acerca de la samaritana que estaba junto pozo. Jesús nos enseña que, aunque ella sea una mujer de diferente nacionalidad y creencia, él puede dialogar con ella – un diálogo que a esa mujer le cambiaría la vida. De hecho, la transformación que ella experimenta y el testimonio que ella da hace que otras personas del pueblo sean también transformadas. La mujer tiene un encuentro con nuestro Señor en ese momento. Nuestro Señor le demuestra bondad y misericordia, aun conociendo la realidad de ella, y hasta entabla con ella una conversación sencilla. Le dice que él es el único que le puede dar el agua viva, un agua que la saciará hasta la vida eterna. Ella corre hacia el pueblo para proclamar y dar testimonio de lo que ha presenciado e invita a todos a venir y a ver. Mis queridos amigos, ésta es la ruta que trazará nuestra visión. Después de tener un encuentro personal con Cristo cada domingo en la Misa y en la Eucaristía tienes la oportunidad de invitar a otras personas a conocer el amor y la misericordia de Dios. Recuerda que este encuentro sucedió junto a un pozo. Imagina lo que puede suceder en tu centro de trabajo junto a la cafetera o durante una conversación de pasillo. Ora esta semana para tener la valentía de proclamar, invitar, y tener un encuentro con el Señor en todas las situaciones de tu vida, y compartir la buena nueva con los demás. - Monseñor Gregory Parkes, Obispo de la Diócesis de St. Petersburg
15 de marzo de 2020
Ruego al Señor que estas líneas les encuentren bien. Tomo esta oportunidad para agradecer a todos los feligreses por haber respondido con generosidad y amor de hermano al adaptar nuestra recomendación de recibir la Comunión en su mano además de los otros cambios momentáneos a ser ejecutados durante la celebración de la Santa Misa. La respuesta de ustedes me dice que son personas generosas y flexibles, adaptándose para hacer algo en favor de toda la comunidad; ustedes realmente reflejan el Corazón de Jesús. Creo que no es necesario tocar de nuevo esa recomendación. Creo que no hay motivo de preocupación en ese respecto, una vez que hacemos todo lo que podemos, tomando precauciones apropiadas, podemos vivir con paz. Añadiendo un pequeño aporte, está bien escuchar las noticias, pero no debemos mantener la televisión encendida y estar constantemente atrapado. Yo miro las noticias dos veces al día durante media hora y eso es todo. Las noticias están diseñadas para mantener su atención y hacen un gran trabajo con eso, pero también pueden conseguir que nos entusiasmamos innecesariamente. ¡¡¡¡Haga lo que pueda para “prepararse” y ponga la situación en las manos de Dios - y no se preocupe!!!! Nuestro Evangelio de hoy nos presenta una mujer que colecciona maridos; -mucha gente colecciona sellos o monedas, pero ella no. Jesús se encuentra con la mujer y sus circunstancias, él habla con ella, lo cual no era normal para ese tiempo. Le ofrece una vida que le dará vida, pacífica y mucho mejor que la vida que conoce actualmente. Después de hablar con ella Jesús le dice que él conoce su historia – no para hacerla sentir mal, si no para que ella entienda que él la conoce a ella y sus circunstancias. Jesús le conversa a la mujer sobre cosas relacionadas a su vida; lo que motiva la mujer a comenzar a “evangelizar” (sin darse cuenta) atrayendo otras personas hacia Jesús. Nosotros evangelizamos con nuestros actos y actitudes, todo el tiempo. A partir de hoy podríamos adoptar un aspecto nuevo en nuestra vida, la que podríamos adoptar es: “Hemos repasado todas las partes y aspectos de nuestra vida con Jesús? Él ha estado allí a través de todo, pero si Él nos hubiésemos sentado y hablado con nosotros sobre toda nuestra vida hasta ahora, ¿seríamos como esta mujer, que acepta sin miedo, ¿o estaríamos avergonzados? Es tan importante que compartamos nuestra vida con Jesús diariamente, tanto lo bueno como lo malo y lo torpe. Hablando espiritual y meditativamente, yo preparo un lugar mental donde generalmente hablo con El Señor; es una foto que estaba en un pasillo del hospital cuando mi papá estaba allí; un hermoso árbol grande y un pasto verde y exuberante. Este tiempo con nuestro Creador y Señor, donde sea que lo encontremos, es altamente vivificante, y nosotros verdaderamente recibimos esa agua viva que satisface de una manera que nada más puede hacerlo. ¡Que tengan una buena semana! Con mi cariño, -Padre Mike
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Agua salió de la roca para apagar la sed del pueblo (Éxodo 17:3-7). Salmo — Si hoy oyen su voz, no endurezcan su corazón (Salmo 95 [94]). Segunda lectura — El amor de Dios se ha derramado en nuestro corazón por el don del Espíritu Santo (Romanos 5:1-2, 5-8). Evangelio — El agua que yo les daré se convierte en el manantial de vida eterna (Juan 4:5-42 [5-15, 19b- 26, 39, 40-42]). 9
