“Jesus did not come to do away with suffering or remove it. He came to fill it with his presence!” ... Congratulations to Father Joseph on being ap-pointed Administrator / Pastor of Holy Spirit Church, 2725 55th Street, San Diego, beginning July 1, 2015. Monsignor Roger Lechner has served there for many years, and retires on June 30. Father Doan Van Lai is the Associate there. Father Joseph has generously served with us, here at Saint John, for five years, and had previously served at Holy Family, and Good Shepherd. Go rock the house! ... What a great thing! Mary Goulet and the ladies of our ‘Park and Pray’ Women’s Prayer Group prepared special Saint Patrick Day gift packets for our homebound parishioners! Our special Minis-ters of the Eucharist to the Sick were escorted by giddy little leprecauns and green shamrocks! Our ladies gather after 8:00am Mass each Tuesday. ... Contributions last weekend (15) amounted to $17,202.17 with 388 families using parish enve-lopes. A further $4,468.75 was contributed ‘online’ by 123 families. Thank you! ... Online Giving is very simple, secure and effec-tive. Take a moment to visit our Saint John parish website at www.saintjohnencinitas.org and click on ‘Online Giving’ and away you go! ... 181 families have responded to our Lenten Ap-peal, raising $9,854.00 towards the great work of Catholic Relief Service, the Church in Africa and South America, and our neighboring Dioceses of Tijuana and Mexicali. ... Our Annual Catholic Appeal lends support to the many and varied ministries of our own Diocese. Pledge forms and brochures have been mailed to every family, and are also available at the back of the church. Please make a pledge today! ... The Sunday 9:00am Mass is streamed live to the Internet each week. Connect to it from our website, or go to www.saintjohnlive.com Our intent is to assist our homebound to be even more with us. ... Our Young Adults (18 - 39 years) meet this Sat-urday (28), at Saint Brigid’s at 4735 Cass Street, Pacific Beach, at 9:30am, for an Outreach Project for the homeless. For info, go to www.yamsd.org. ... Our Saint John School children will celebrate ‘Benediction’ this Friday (27) at 2:00pm. ... Travel with us, this Friday (27), for the last time this Lent, around the Stations of the Cross at 6:00pm! A mighty journey!

... Heartfelt thanks to Rosella Greco, her daugh-ters Roseanne and Sandra, and to Matt and Carol Williamson, all of whom served up a delicious din-ner for our twelve priests assisting with our Parish Penance Service on Wednesday (18). ... Saint Elizabeth Seton, Carlsbad, host their Pen-ance Service this Monday (23), at 7:00pm. ... This weekend (22) our young men and women preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation this year are on their Confirmation Retreat in San Clemente, together with Isaac and his team.

It’s a fun family time for all! ... ‘Thank you’ to our Knights of Columbus for our grand Saint Patrick’s Party on Saturday (14)! ... www.saintjohnencinitas.org is our parish web-site, while the Saint John School website is also worth a visit at www.saintjohnschool.com. ... Adults who are active in Church life and wish to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation this year here at Saint John, are invited to attend two prepara-tory evening classes, on April (9) and (23). For more info contact Deacon Bob at 760 753-6254. ... Save the date! Our Saint John Bible Camp “Conquering Challenges with God’s Mighty Power” is not to be missed. It is in July, Monday (13) to Friday (17), from 8:30am to 12:00pm in the Hall. For more info, call Ann McGinnis at 760 436-0664. ... Josefina and Salvador Vargas have been parish-ioners since the mid 1950’s, are blessed with 4 chil-dren. Josefina shared in daily Mass and had a mighty devotion to Mary. She contributed monthly towards the upkeep of our candles in church. Josefina went ‘home to God’ on Thursday (5). May she rest in peace. ... Father Pat, Father Brian’s brother, returned to his parish ministry in Calabar, Nigeria, on Wednesday (18). He truly appreciates your good-ness, kindness, and warm welcome! ... Our Children’s Liturgy of the Word takes place during the Sunday 9:00am Mass. All children in Grades K-5 are encouraged to participate. ...

LA NUEVA ALIANZA Cuando el profeta Jeremías creó el término “nueva alianza” hacía algo muy radical. Para el pueblo judío, sólo había una alianza, la que el Señor Dios había hecho con Israel por medio de Moisés en el Monte Sinaí. Cuando Jeremías dice que de alguna manera Dios va a reemplazar la antigua alianza con una nueva, seguro que sus oyentes pensaban que era algo muy atrevido. De ese modo Jeremías es un predecesor de Jesús, quien, en el Evangelio de Juan se presenta siempre como alguien que reemplaza el pasado, estableciendo el Reino de Dios de una manera nueva. Y en el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús, “la nueva alianza” habla con el lenguaje del “nuevo mandamiento” de amor cuando menciona el grano de trigo que muere y nuestra propia muerte al egoísmo para poder resucitar con Cristo. Al finalizar la Cuaresma y al prepararnos a entrar en la Semana Santa, el grano de trigo que muere es un símbolo excelente del tipo de muerte y auto sacrificio al que los discípulos están llamados, un símbolo de esa nueva alianza escrita en lo más profundo de nuestro corazón.

Acompáñenos el Viernes 27, a rezar el Vía Crucis, a las 6:00pm.

En la Iglesia

También, los invitamos a que nos acompañen el Viernes 27, a disfrutar del delicioso Pescado Frito en el salón parroquial. De 5:00 pm. a 9:00 pm. $5 por los adultos y $3 por los niños. Por el Bingo solamente $10 por 10 cartas.

ADORACION PERPETUA

HAY QUE MORIR PARA VIVIR Basándose en las palabras de Jesús, Mariano de Blas, compuso su canto: “Entre tus manos”. Este hermoso canto nos recuerda que “hay que morir para vivir”, es decir, que no es nada fácil ser discípulo de Jesucristo. El mismo Jesús nos pide que nos neguemos a nosotros mismos (Mateo 16:24); que carguemos la cruz para

seguirlo (Marcos 8:34); que perdamos nuestra vida por su nombre (Lucas 9:24). Todo esto porque Jesús reconoce que el grano de trigo debe morir para dar vida, para multiplicarse (Juan 12:24). El canto: “Una espiga dorada por el sol”, de

Cesáreo Gabaráin, nos recuerda que los cristianos somos trigo del mismo sembrador. Es Jesús quien nos siembra, nos cultiva, nos cosecha, nos tritura, nos amasa, y nos hace un solo pan consagrado a Dios. Somos granos de trigo que, unidos formamos el pan de la comunión que es comunidad. Para esto, cada uno debe morir a sus egoísmos y preferencias. Morir a sí mismo tiene sentido cristiano, sólo si es para trabajar unidos y en la misión de Cristo, la cual es salvación del mundo y construcción del Reino de Dios.
