March 2, 2014 - Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Regulations on Fasting and Abstinence The dual disciplines of fasting and abstinence have a long history in the Catholic Church. Going back to the early Church, the purpose behind the custom of self denial is not punishment; it is to simplify our lifestyles so that we create a certain emptiness. In this way, freed from all distractions, we are able to hear and respond to God’s continued call to conversion and holiness.

MASS SCHEDULE Monday through Friday: 7am & 8:30am
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics between the ages of 18 to 59 years (inclusive). On days of fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two smaller meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed. Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics who are 14 years of age and older. Ash Wednesday, all the Fridays of Lent, and Good Friday are days of abstinence.
Saturday: 8:30 am & 4:30pm (Vigil) Sunday: 7:30am, 9:00am, 10:30am (signed), & 12pm MISAS EN ESPAÑOL: Cada domingo a la 1:30pm Cada viernes a las 6:30 pm LATIN MASS: Sundays at 4:30pm CONFESSIONS: Saturdays - 2:30 to 3:30pm in Church DEVOTIONS Morning Prayer Group: Liturgy of the Hours Mon., Tue., Thurs., Fri. & Sat.: 8:10am - 8:25am ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Every 1st Friday following the 8:30 am Mass until 6:15pm ROSARY : Thursdays at 11:30am in the chapel ROSARIO EN ESPAÑOL - Jueves de 5:30pm6:30pm en la capilla
Note: If a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill health or other serious reasons, they are urged to practice other forms of self denial that are suitable to their condition. Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter.

Mass & Distribution Of Ashes: 7AM, 8:30AM, 12:10PM & 7:30PM 10AM - Latin Mass , 6PM - Spanish Mass
Church of the Incarnation
GOD IS A LOVING PARENT Some scripture passages require a good deal of study before they yield their inner meaning. Not so with today’s Gospel, a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount. Here we have Jesus’ well-known sayings about God’s care for us. “No one can serve two masters” and “Look at the birds in the sky” have become idioms in our culture. Perhaps they have become too familiar. Jesus’ point is a simple one—if we keep our hearts set on the important things, God will take care of the rest. His use of simple images from nature—birds, flowers, grass—would have resonated just as deeply with his listeners then as they do today. The brief passage from Isaiah, situated as it is in a longer section on the restoration of Zion, uses a wonderful feminine image to portray God’s care for us. Even more than a mother’s care for her own child is God’s attentiveness to our needs. Juxtaposed with the Gospel reading, an image of God as doting parent surfaces. No wonder St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians is more confident in the judgment of the Lord than in any human assessment! For those whose hearts are set on God’s priorities, the time of judgment can bring nothing but good. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Losing a child to abortion isn’t easy... But if given the broken pieces, God can make all things new. H.E.A.R.T. provides a confidential, caring group to journey with you to bring hope and healing due to an abortion. In this non-judgmental setting we look to God and trust in his mercy to restore us to wholeness. In this group process we look at: realizing we need healing, acknowledging the abortion - breaking the shame, forgiveness, accepting God's grace, allowing yourself to grieve, self-reconciliation, relationships and ongoing healing. We are looking to start a morning H.E.A.R.T. group in the Lutz / North Tampa area very soon. Anyone affected by an abortion may attend. For more information and to register please call or text Julie at (813) 528-1717 or email: HEART@LifeChoicesWC.org ALL CALLS ARE CONFIDENTIAL Approved by the Project Rachel Office of the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
EXCITING NEWS - VARIABLE RATE TUITION AT BISHOP MC LAUGHLIN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, there will be a new tuition structure at Bishop McLaughlin.

The rates are based on a family’s income and begin at only $7,500. Visit the school’s website (www.bmchs.com) or call the Admission Department (727-857-2600, ext. 244) for details.

Carnival Raffle Tickets Due to a change by the Post Office in its interpretation of the rules for bulk mailing, we were not able to mail raffle tickets to you this year. But the Show will still go on! We have converted the traditional raffle to a simple 50/50. There will be one grand prize cash drawing and the amount of the prize will be half the value of all tickets sold. That prize could easily exceed the $4000 first prize that was planned for the raffle. We will announce the value of the prize during the carnival as it grows. Following our mailing, many of you would normally send back your ticket stubs with your cash or check donation either by mail or in the collection basket. We want you to do the same thing now but without the ticket stubs. See the following steps Please write “raffle tickets” on your check or on the envelope should you drop it in the collection basket. If you have some of those “return address” stickers that many people use to fill out the tickets, put two dozen of them in the envelope with your donation for us to use. We will fill out the correct number of raffle tickets for you based upon your donation. Ten dollars buys twelve tickets. We had planned on mailing you $20 worth or 24 raffle tickets. Individual tickets are one dollar each. There will only be one cash drawing however there will be many prize drawings regularly throughout the carnival. Winning tickets for these prizes will be returned to the drum for the grand prize drawing. The Grand Prize drawing will be the final event at the carnival. We will draw the winner at 8:00 PM on Sunday, April 6. You do not have to be present to win any of the prizes including the grand prize. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call Paul Hunter at the parish office. (813) 885-7861

Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 2 de marzo de 2014 ¿Puede acaso una madre olvidarse de su creatura hasta dejar de enternecerse por el hijo de sus entrañas? Aunque hubiera una madre que se olvidara, yo nunca me olvidaré de ti. — Isaías 49:15
Domingo 2 de Marzo de 2014. Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Parece que es un mal de todos los tiempos el de la confusión y la ansiedad por cosas que no están a nuestro alcance, lo que genera el stress y preocupaciones desproporcionadas. Es así como se pierde la paz, crece la agresividad y la intolerancia contra uno mismo y los demás. Y la inseguridad crece. Estas situaciones tan frecuentes de sobrecarga y tensiones hacen que la persona se desmorone encerrada en sí misma y su agobio. Personas así se van aislando y autodestruyendo, impacientes que impacientan. Fácilmente pierden el don más preciado, la Paz y la confianza. Más que pobres de espíritu, se convierten en seres de espíritu empobrecido, consumidos por un mal vivir, desordenadamente. Jesús habla de esa preocupación que desasosiega, que se apodera completamente del hombre, que procede de la ilusión de creer que podemos asegurar la vida con los bienes de la tierra. No dice que no haya que trabajar duro y buscar los medios necesarios para subsistir, como hacen diariamente las aves y los lirios del campo, que no trabajan ni hilan; y como lo hizo Él mismo en su vida oculta de Nazaret, trabajando para el hogar, y en su vida pública, en la que el grupo tenía una bolsa común para cubrir sus necesidades materiales. Y Jesús quiere invitar a todo hombre en primer lugar a ser persona, a ser él mismo, señor de sí mismo y de sus circunstancias, para poder entonces dar el paso y ser para los demás instrumento de paz y de concordia. Invita a vivir en el cada día y en cada asunto que valga la pena, desde una filial relación con Dios nuestro Padre. Una fe amorosa que es confianza y libertad, y derivará, si es verdadera, en fraterna relación de ayuda. Esto es imposible hacerlo desde el desasosiego y el agobio por la autosatisfacción. Y por lo demás, más nos vale andar ocupados y hasta preocupados, porque los frutos del Reino maduren y crezcan, paciente pero perseverantemente. "Sobre todo busquen el Reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas se les dará por añadidura" Es una vida centrada en algo que valga realmente la pena, y por ello vivir y morir. P. Jairo Para pensarlo Dicen que orar cambia las cosas, pero ¿es realmente cierto que cambia algo? ¿Orar cambia tu situación presente o tus circunstancias? No, no siempre, sin embargo, cambia el modo en el que ves esos acontecimientos. ¿Orar cambia tu futuro económico? No, no siempre, sin embargo, cambia el modo en que buscas atender tus necesidades diarias.
¿Orar cambia corazones o el cuerpo dolorido? No, no siempre, sin embargo, cambia tu energía interior. ¿Orar cambia tu querer y tus deseos? No, no siempre, sin embargo, cambiará tu querer por el querer de Dios. ¿Orar cambia cómo el mundo? No, no siempre, sin embargo, cambiará los ojos con los que ves el mundo. ¿Orar cambia tus culpas del pasado? No, no siempre, sin embargo, cambiará tu esperanza en el futuro. ¿Orar cambia a la gente a tu alrededor? No, no siempre, sin embargo, te cambiará a ti, pues el problema no está siempre en otros. ¿Orar cambia tu vida de un modo que no puedes explicar? Ah, sí, siempre. Y esto te cambiará totalmente. Entonces, ¿Orar REALMENTE cambia ALGO? Sí, REALMENTE cambia TODO.

Inscripción Parroquial ¿Esta inscrito en la parroquia? A diferencia de nuestras culturas, aquí en este país, es necesario inscribirse en la parroquia para acelerar cualquier trámite necesario para la preparación de los sacramentos y para la participación en ciertos ministerios. Les pedimos que por favor pasen por la Oficina Parroquial de lunes a viernes para que les podamos asistir. Les agradecemos de antemano su colaboración.
