I, the LORD, am your God . . . You shall not have other gods besides me. — Exodus 20:2a, 3 TOTAL ALLEGIANCE In previous weeks we have seen how the theme of covenant—as a preparation for the baptismal covenant celebrated at Easter—occupies an important place in our cycle of Lenten readings. The notion of covenant as a relationship between two parties carries with it an expectation of mutual accountability and fidelity to the terms of the covenant. When God forged the covenant with the Jewish people on Mt. Sinai, it was a pledge of God’s protection, and it would forever permit them familiar access as the Chosen People. For their part, the PRAYER OF THE WEEK O God, author of every mercy and of all goodness, who in fasting, prayer and almsgiving have shown us a remedy for sin, look graciously on this confession of our lowliness, that we, who are bowed down by our conscience, Page 2
may always be lifted up by your mercy. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Reflection: Undertake an examination of conscience this week and pray for God’s loving mercy. Collect text from the English translation of The Roman Missal, © 2010, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Company, Inc.
Jewish people were to observe the dictates of the law, summarized most succinctly here in the form of the Ten Commandments. To be in a covenantal relationship with the Lord God requires an exclusive relationship, just as discipleship with Jesus—ritualized in baptism—demands a total allegiance to him and none other.

LOOK TO GOD I look to you, God You give me everything I need. Though I usually want more, You remind that what I have Is all I really need. You are all I truly need. When I am sad, you comfort me. When I am happy, you rejoice When I sin, you forgive. You are all I truly need. (Look Up for Lent by Stephenie hovland)
THE SCRUTINIES These are three rites of the catechumenate process which take place on the third, fourth, and fifth Sundays of Lent. At these rites we invite the catechumens, and ourselves as well, to self-examination to discern what might be holding us back from complete commitment to Christ. They are also designed to strengthen that which is good in us. The readings used for these rites are always from Year A. The gospels are the stories of the woman at the well, the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus. The focus of these readings are on water, light, and rising from the dead, all related to elements of the baptismal rite. - by Carolyn Thomas Ministry Resource Update Page 4

Operation Rice Bowl Reflection: God’s Covenant In today’s first reading, we hear about God’s covenant with Noah, with his descendants and with all living creatures. During Lent, we are called to deepen and strengthen our bap smal and covenantal rela onship with God, which includes our responsibility to care for God’s crea on. This week through Opera on Rice Bowl, we learn about subsistence farmers in Madagascar. We pray for all who struggle to feed their families on depleted lands, and we fast in solidarity with those who hunger. We give so that CRS can help farmers improve their growing methods and act as good stewards of God’s crea on. The Incarnation job support ministry meets on Tuesday mornings from 9 to 11 at St. Brendan's room outside of St. Michaels Hall. If you are unemployed, underemployed, or trying to get back into the workforce, we invite you to join our group, a faith-based group of fellow members of our parish family, formed to provide support and assistance to help you get your "next" job. EMPLOYERS: Do you have vacancies in your company?

5. Todos los Viernes durante la Cuaresma
16, 23 y 30 de marzo, 2012 El Consejo de Damas Católicas de Incarnation (ICCW) como todos los años durante la Cuaresma tendrán la venta de pescado frito. Traiga a toda su familia. Para llevar o comer en el salón. Salón St. Michael - Horario: 4:00pm - 7:30pm
Este jueves, 15 de marzo, 2012 desde 5:00pm a 8:00pm, todas las Parroquias iluminaran la entrada de la Iglesia para indicar que un sacerdote esta presente y esperando para escuchar las confesiones individuales.
Recordemos la formula. La Iglesia hace una buena labor captando ciertas verdades al utilizar listas y fórmulas que son fáciles de recordar: 10 Mandamientos, 7 sacramentos, 3 personas de la Trinidad. Para la Cuaresma, la Iglesia nos da algo como un eslogan—Oración, Ayuno y Caridad— que son las tres cosas que debemos poner en practica durante este tiempo. Es un tiempo de oración. La Cuaresma es esencialmente un acto de oración extendido a lo largo de 40 días. Mientras oramos, iniciamos un caminar, uno que esperamos nos acerque más a Cristo y obre en nosotros un cambio por nuestro encuentro con Él. Es un tiempo de ayuno. Con los ayunos del Miércoles de Ceniza y del Viernes Santo y los viernes sin comer carne, intercalados con nuestra disciplina personal, la Cuaresma es ahora el único tiempo en el que muchos católicos ayunan realmente. Y, por eso quizás, se le da tanta importancia, “ ¿A qué cosa renunciarías en esta Cuaresma? ¿a los hot dogs? ¿a la cerveza? ¿a los dulces?” Para alguno de nosotros esto es casi como un juego pero el ayuno es una forma de penitencia que nos ayuda a alejarnos del pecado y a acercarnos más a Cristo. Es un tiempo para disciplinarnos mejor. Los 40 días de Cuaresma son también una buena ocasión, un tiempo fijo para ocuparnos de nuestra disciplina personal en general. En vez de renunciar a algo, quizás pudiésemos hacer algo positivo. “Voy a hacer más ejercicios. Voy a orar más. Voy a portarme mejor con mi familia, mis amigos y mis compañeros de trabajo”. Es dejar morir algo de nosotros. El lado más serio de la disciplina durante la Cuaresma es que va más allá del auto-control―es encontrar esos aspectos en uno mismo que no están imitando a Cristo y dejarlos morir. El sufrimiento y la muerte de Cristo es lo que más ocupa nuestra mente durante la Cuaresma y nos unimos a este misterio sufriendo y muriendo con Cristo siendo resucitados de una manera purificada. ©USCCB 2011 Continuaremos la próxima semana
PERDÓN
Si una mala persona te ofende, perdónala no sea que haya entonces dos malas personas.—Anónimo Pg 9
11 de marzo de 2012 LEALTAD TOTAL En semanas anteriores hemos visto cómo el tema de la alianza, en preparación para la alianza bautismal que se celebra en Semana Santa, ocupa un lugar importante en nuestro ciclo de lecturas de Cuaresma. La noción de una alianza como una relación entre dos partes lleva consigo la expectativa de la responsabilidad mutua y la fidelidad a los términos del pacto. Cuando Dios forjó la alianza con el pueblo judío en el monte Sinaí, se trataba de una promesa de la protección de Dios, y que siempre les permitiría el acceso familiar como Pueblo Escogido. Por su parte, el pueblo judío debería observar los requisitos de la ley, que se resumen aquí en los Diez Mandamientos. Para estar en una relación de pacto con el Señor Dios requiere una relación exclusiva, al igual que ser discípulo de Jesús –que expresamos ritualmente en el Bautismo– exige una total lealtad a Él y a ningún otro.

Sabías que... AYUNO (del latín ieiunium, ayuno, abstinencia) Privación voluntaria de comida por motivos religiosos. Es una forma de vigilia, un signo que ayuda a tomar conciencia (ej.: el ayuno del Miércoles de Ceniza recuerda el inicio del tiempo penitencial) o que prepara (ej.: el ayuno eucarístico predispone a la recepción que en breve se hará del Cuerpo de Cristo). La Iglesia lo prescribe por el espacio de un día para el Miércoles de Ceniza, con carácter penitencial, y para el Viernes Santo, extensivo al Sábado Santo, con carácter pascual; y por una hora para quienes van a comulgar.

La próxima semana, nuestra parroquia realizará The Catholic Relief Services Collection. Esta colecta le otorga ayuda financiera a seis agencias católicas que tocan la vida de más de 100 millones de personas en el mundo. Los fondos de la Colecta ayudan a proporcionar comida a los que pasan hambre, acogen y ayudan a los refugiados desplazados y proveen invaluables conocimientos básicos para la vida a aquellas personas que están buscando un vida mejor. ¿Le ayudarás? La próxima semana, por favor contribuye generosamente a The Catholic Relief Services Collection pues es Jesús con otro rostro. DESCUBRIR NUESTRO DEBER El estudio de la Sagrada Escritura inspirada es la principal manera de descubrir nuestro deber. —San Basilio Magno
