“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” Do we really need a more powerful reminder of the importance of Lent and Easter than that?

That verse (from John 3:16) has become very popular in modern culture, to the

point that we see it often at athletic events. When the University of Florida played for the national college football championship in 2009, quarterback Tim Tebow did not wear the regular eye black under his eyes. Under his right eye it said “John” and under his left eye it said “3:16.” God sends us messages all the time, if we listen and are attentive.

Tebow did not have a remarkable professional career, but he was the quarterback of the Denver Broncos against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2012 playoffs. The Broncos won, and in that game Tebow passed for 316 yards; his completed passes averaged 31.6 yards; perhaps the key play in the game came on third down and 16; the TV ratings for the game were 31.6%.

That is not the important aspect, however. What is important is that the truth of that statement is so simple; nevertheless, it is difficult for us to completely grasp its significance. The truth is that God loves us, no matter what we are or what our attitude toward God is. The world that God gave His Son to save is our world. We are the children of God. This Lenten season is a time to see that and accept it as truth. Pastoral Pondering

We continue our discussion on reverence with a discussion of Sacred Silence. Robert Cardinal Sarah, the prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, points out: “Many Catholics rightly complain about the absence of silence in…the celebration of our Roman liturgy. It is…important, therefore, to recall the meaning of silence as a Christian ascetical value, and therefore as a necessary condition for deep, contemplative prayer, without forgetting the fact that times of silence are officially prescribed during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, so as to highlight the importance of silence for a high-quality liturgical renewal.”

We live in a world that at times can be chaotic. We are surrounded by noise on all sides. The importance of the liturgy is that it is to take us out of the world and lift us to the halls of heaven. This of course can be difficult if you happen to be in the narthex with a screaming two-year old.

Because the world is so noisy, we have to consciously find space in our lives for silence. That doesn’t mean that when coming into the church building we should

shun people or not say hello. The narthex, especially at the beginning and ending of Mass, is for meeting and greeting. As much as possible conversations of any length should be kept out of the nave of the church. People are usually praying before or after Mass, and we all need to be conscious of that.

In my experience, most of the time, we simply don’t think about it or are unaware. We shouldn’t expect the church to always have the silence of a mausoleum; however, we also shouldn’t expect the church to be a cacophony of unnecessary noise. Hence, be conscious of the necessity of silence in our busy lives and the importance of maintaining a reverent silence in church so that we can properly prepare for Mass or reverently give thanks to God for the Mass just completed.

The main thing that we need to remember is that silence is importance and an absolute necessity to reverence. As our Holy Father Pope Francis recently said: “Silence is not reduced to the lack of words, but in being open to listen to other voices: That of our heart and, especially, the voice of the Holy Spirit.” Blessings,

From the Pastor

Committing to a Life of Prayer – Grow in Christ Prayer is the very foundation of Christian stewardship, and yet the decision to enter more fully into a life of prayer is a deeper commitment than people realize. In order to be good stewards of our relationship with the Lord we must commit our time, which should include setting aside periods for prayer, for the reading of sacred scripture, and for full participation in the Eucharist and other sacraments. “What return shall I make to the Lord for all the good He has done for me?” (Psalm 116:12)

When we live our faith by sharing our gifts and caring for others, we allow God’s love to be known and experienced through us. Contact our Stewardship Director at [email protected] if you wish to Grow in Christ, Serve One Another or Share Your Gifts at Saint Mark.

Treasures From Our Tradition Year B of the Lectionary has the Letter to the Ephesians today. Ephesus, today in Turkey, was in the first century a great Greek city, the center for the worship of Diana, the goddess of the hunt. It was a vast city even by modern standards, having nearly half a million people in the time of Paul. Yet that was a time of economic recession and moral decay. No wonder Saint Paul stayed here the longest. It gave him an enormous and religiously curious audience. His preaching stirred up the artisans who depended on the pilgrims who came to honor (and buy mementos of) seventeen gods and goddesses enshrined in the city’s temples. You can still see the open-air theater where Paul’s homily triggered a riot. Paul did have success here, and many conversions among Jews and Gentiles. They seem to have struggled with hope, perhaps because of their suffering from economic woes and isolation.

Some old traditions say that the Apostle John lived out his days here, and that the Blessed Mother was cared for by him. There’s no biblical basis for this, but it is certain that a small house just outside the city has been treasured by Christians and Muslims for centuries as the last dwelling of Mary. Long ago, the harbor silted up and the city was nearly abandoned, becoming a small village. As is so often the case, that accident of history preserved the ancient city, so that archeologists have been very successful in revealing ancient Christian sites. One such site is the Church of Mary, probably the first church to be dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and the site of the Council of Ephesus in 431. Today, a visit to Ephesus is one of the most rewarding journeys for any pilgrim. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

The Holy Face Banner You might have seen a banner of the Holy Face at one of the parish entrances.

The Respect Life Ministry has sponsored this banner to renew devotion to the Holy Face and pray for the conversion of sinners—especially abortionists and their staff.

This ancient devotion was renewed by Sister Mary of St. Peter in France in the 1840s and Pope Leo XIII established it as a worldwide devotion in 1885.

Our Lord grants many favors for the Holy Face devotion including the conversion of many sinners. When you pass by the Holy Face can you offer a quick prayer for the conversion of sinners and the dned of abortion?

Cuaresma, ¿Por qué cuarenta días? “ La Iglesia se une todos los años, durante los cuarenta días de la Gran Cuaresma, al Misterio de Jesús en el desierto”. (Catecismo de la Iglesia Catolica 540) En la Biblia el número cuarenta representa tiempo de espera, tiempo de preparación y penitencia para un nuevo renacer. Recordemos el Antiguo Testamento. Noé y compañía estuvieron en el arca durante cuarenta días. Moisés estuvo en el Sinaí recibiendo los Diez Mandamiento durante cuarenta días. Los israelitas vagaron por el desierto cerca de cuarenta años. El profeta Elías pasó 40 días en ayunas en el desierto hasta encontrarse con Dios en el monte Horeb. Jonás anunció que Nínive sería destruida a los 40 días. Recordemos también que una madre carga a su bebé en el vientre durante cuarenta semanas antes de dar a luz a una nueva vida. ¿Y Jesús? ¿Qué significaron sus cuarenta días? El nacimiento de un nuevo Israel liberado del pecado, reconciliado con Dios y gobernado por la ley del Espíritu en vez de la grabada en piedra. San Josemaría Escrivá en su libro “Es Cristo que pasa” dice: “La Cuaresma ahora nos pone delante de estas preguntas fundamentales: ¿avanzo en mi fidelidad a Cristo?,¿en deseos de santidad?, ¿en generosidad apostólica en mi vida diaria, en mi trabajo ordinario entre mis compañeros de profesión? Cada uno, sin ruido de palabras, que conteste a esas preguntas, y verá cómo es necesaria una nueva transformación, para que Cristo viva en nosotros, para que su imagen se refleje limpiamente en nuestra conducta”.

Cuarenta días por la vida El día provida de los cuarenta días por la vida de San Marcos será el 17 de marzo de 8am -5pm. A todos los grupos, ministerios y feligreses les pedimos adoptar una hora para orar en la clínica de abortos por los aun no nacidos y sus padres. La dirección es: 3220 Latrobe Drive, Charlotte, NC. Los miembros del equipo de Respeto por la Vida estarán durante el día liderando las oraciones.
