GOOD NE\|1/S l5:r-3, rr-32 so identified typecast-becoming Actors dread being with a particular kind of role (such as villain) that they aren't offered other kinds. But you don't have to be in show business to be typecast by others: "That's my sister, the Gossip." "My husband is a Workaholic." "My friend is the Late One. Never on time for anything." lt can be hard to break out of
Joshua 5:ga, :io-:rz I z Corinthians 5::r7-zt I Luke
these molds. Typecasting has no place in the spiritual life, however. Saint Paul tells us that everyone in Christ is a "new creation" and that, just as we have been reconciled to God, we are also called to the "ministry of reconciliation." The father in the Prodigal Son story is a remarkable model of such behavior. He doesn't view his son as a sinful, wasteful ingrate; instead, he nearly trips over himself running to greet his son and throw him a huge party. The father is the "prodigal" one-extravagant and wasteful in his love and forgiveness for his son. During Lent, we may identify particularly with that younger son in our need for repentance and forgiveness. But what if we try to model ourselves after the father, who releases his son from typecasting and welcomes him as a new creation? Can we see everyone as redeemable no matter how many times they've frustrated, annoyed, or wounded us? Maybe we hold a childhood grudge against our parent. Maybe our spouse lacks communication skills. Maybe our boss just seems plain crazy. Are they forever typecast in our minds, or might we see them as a new creation in God? Christ gives us the ministry of reconciliation-but will we practice it? I anel Esker su n dayb u lletin @ lig uori. org

Very soon after our Easter Triduum celebration, there will be an 8oth Anniversary Mass on Saturday at 4 p.m. with Bishop Larry Silva with a dinner to follow and entertainment provided by the parish.
PARISH SCFIIPTURE GROUP-Seder fi/leal St. Jerome (+3zo) once said, "lgnorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ." One of the High feasts of the Jewish religion is the Passover. Much of our faith comes from Jewish teachings and traditions. Have you ever been to a Seder Meal? Do you know why Jesus 'broke the bread' and 'shared the cup'? Do you know why the apostles were gathered with Jesus at the Last Supper? Come and see. The Liturgy of the Easter Triduum, especially the readings of Holy Thursday will come alive. Sign up to join our own Passover meal Wednesday, March zTth at 6:3o p.m. (24 spaces available)

helps us live according to the grace
of God, in the light and strength of the Holy Spirit. The idea is hardly NewAge. Saint Teresa ofAvih (1515-1582) considered it important to have one, but Saint Th6rtsse of Lisienx (1873-1897) didn't think it necessary, sayingJesus was enough guidance for her. Spiritual directors aren't just for laypeople. Many priests and religiou5-2nd svsn spiritual directors-have them. At tirnes of confusion and crisis, having a spiritual director is a blessing. The sacrament of reconciliation can include spiritual directiqn. But a spiritual director needn't be a priest. And because you meet regularly and get to know each other, your spiritual director is in a better position than your pastor might be to sugpst ways to help you discern where God is at work in your life and to help you figure outwhere God is callingyou to grovi. As to whether every Catholic should have a spiritual director, that's a matter of individual preference. If you decide you want to try one, askyour pastor to recommend someone.
