YOUR SMILE

FOR TODAY

What is Tenebrae? The name Tenebrae is the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows.” During this service, we will experience a

small portion of Christ’s pain and suffering the day of His crucifixion. One of the most conspicuous features of the service is the gradual extinguishing of candles until only a single candle, considered a symbol of our Lord, remains.

As it gets darker and darker we reflect on the great emotional and physical pain that was very real for Jesus that evening. Toward the end of the service, the Christ candle is hidden, typifying the apparent victory of the

forces of evil over good. At the very end, a loud noise is heard, symbolizing the earthquake at the time of His

death (Matthew 27) and His resurrection (Matthew 28:2). At the moment of the earthquake, the temple veil was torn apart, making the Holy of Holies exposed to public view. This is understood to represent God’s change toward us

with direct access to him, no longer requiring the ceremonial acts of the priests for our forgiveness of sin.

The hidden candle is then restored to its place, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. By this single

light we all depart in silence.

April 1 & 2, 2017 The Fifth Sunday of Lent

WORLD WIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER

SPOTLIGHT: MEXICO

Call to Family, Community

and Participation

Humans are social by nature. Like the early

disciples, we are called to come together and

grow as a community - whether that community

is in our classroom, workplace, or family.

ENCOUNTER MARIA

Maria de la Luz Lugo Martínez remembers what

it was like growing up in Ejido Hidalgo, Mexico.

“We said we were rich because we had a lot of

corn, beans and animals.” But now, with few

jobs and even less rain, young people—

including Maria’s children—are leaving the

community in search of a better life.

To help families like Maria’s, CRS launched a

greenhouse project empowering women with

meaningful work and community. Women visit

their community greenhouses to grow cactuses

to sell—but they also go for so much more. “At

the greenhouses, we laugh, we talk, we spend

time together. Sometimes we leave our homes

angry or sad. But then we start working with

the plants, and we forget. Talking, laughing—we

forget our problems for a while,” says Maria.

As the cactuses grow, so to do the economic

opportunities. “We didn’t believe we were going

to get that far. It’s a lot of joy, a lot of

excitement to see so many plants flowering.”

The flourishing cactuses aren’t the only things

that give Maria pride. Even though they live far

away, she still remains close to her family. “I

give thanks to God that He gave me all my

children and grandchildren,” she says. “They

give me strength and courage to work hard. My

children call and say, ‘Don’t give up, Mom. Have

faith in God.’”

With help from the Rice Bowls, the CRS Mexico

program also addresses several issues of

importance: migration, peace building and

human rights, and inequitable access to rural

development opportunities in a country where

half the population lives in poverty.

ARK Program

Act of Random Kindness

The Faculty, Staff, and Children of Assumption

School have been taking part in the ARK Program

- Act of Random Kindness during the 40 days of

Lent. Everyday, the children have been writing

down one act of kindness that they have done

for someone else. Acts of kindness are a

wonderful opportunity for them to

demonstrate love in action.

"Untie him and let him go." Husbands and wives, untie each other

from the fetters of misunderstanding by attending a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend.

The next WWME Weekends are Apr 22-23, 2017 in Brewster, MA and

Jun 10-11, 2017 in Medway, MA. For more information, call Stephen & Michelle O'Leary at

800-710-9963 or visit us at www.WWMEMA.org.
