Cuaresma es un tiempo que nos prepara para la transformación, los símbolos y los signos que viviremos en las liturgias ayudarán a ver el significado de esta conversión. Pero, en orden de prepararnos para la transformación y conversión debemos volver a Dios. Esto no será fácil, se debe estar consciente de ello, aquellos que lo intenten algunas veces misteriosamente serán atraídos por el mal. A esto se le llama tentación. Lo vivió el pueblo de Israel al atravesar el

desierto, en su desvió y sufrimiento volvió a Dios para continuar su jornada hacia la libertad. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús es presentado por Lucas resistiendo a la tentación. Jesús responde a ella con respuestas de la sagrada Escritura. ¿Cómo respondes a las tentaciones? ¿Qué pasaje de la sagrada Escritura te ayuda a volver a Dios una y otra vez? El hecho es que los pasajes citados por Jesús en la sagrada Escritura vienen del tiempo en que los Israelitas sufrían en el desierto y Dios escuchó sus lamentos. Jesús en su tiempo hizo lo mismo, predicando el Reino de Dios e invitando a volver a Dios por medio de la conversión. Dejar el pecado cuesta, cambiar actitudes y comportamientos es difícil, pero con Dios todo es posible. El sacramento de la reconciliación nos ayuda a volver a Dios una y otra vez. Ser cristiano significa seguimiento y para lograrlo debemos seguir a Jesús como puerta de entrada hacia la vigilia pascual. Con el Miércoles de Ceniza dio comienzo la Cuaresma y en este primer domingo Jesús nos indica el camino del cómo se rechaza la tentación. Cimentados, confiados y activos en la palabra de Dios no debemos de temer. LPI, Inc.

1st Sunday of Lent

Lord Jesus Christ, You have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.

Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

1er Domingo de Cuaresma

"The devil said to him... 'All this will be yours, if you worship me.'" Jesus faced temptation, like we all do. His forty-day fast in the desert wasn't full of supernatural consolation and delight. He was subject to "every temptation" and when the forty days were over, "he was hungry." In other words, he was human. Jesus' divine nature didn't cancel out his human nature. He faced struggles just like we do--both physical and spiritual--in his body and his soul. As we see in today's Gospel, the strategy Jesus used to fight these physical and spiritual battles was to immerse himself in God's word. To silence the devil during this fast, Jesus quoted Scripture. He rooted himself in these eternal truths, relying upon them in his moments of trial. And these sacred words had a dramatic effect. Every time Satan tried to seduce him with a new promise, Jesus responded with a Bible verse. And each time, Satan was silenced and had to try a new angle. Finally, when all the devilish angles had been tried, "the devil departed from him for a time." Jesus won the victory using the weapon of God's word. As we enter into the season of Lent, we can be armed in the same way. We now embark upon a battle against our own pride, sloth, and greed as we commit to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Ultimately, we are working to put God first, instead of bowing down to our selfishness and our desire for comfort. The devil would like nothing more than to see us "worship" him in these ways. But, instead, let's be equipped to proclaim--and to live--the words Jesus himself used: "You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve. LPI, Inc.

Often people attend Mass at All Souls for several years, but never register. Registering here is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and to make a commitment to the life of All Souls Church.

Being a registered parishioner makes the process much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered parishioner receives all parish mailings, too. Church law advises that territories or boundaries no longer limit parish registration. All Souls accepts anyone who wants to share in the life of the parish regardless of where they live. In order to register, you need to complete a registration card. These may be found in the narthex of the church or chapel, the parish office during the week or online at our parish website: www.allsoulssanford.org. Why not sign up today?

We Love New Members!

A Valentine Prayer I said a Valentine prayer for you and asked the Lord above to fill your heart and bless your soul with the precious gift of love. I asked Him for sincere love—the kind that's meant to stay. Just like the generous love you give to those you touch each day. I prayed for love from family and from every cherished friend. Then I asked the Lord to give you His love that knows no end.

Happy St. Valentine’s Day

All Souls Catholic School Masquerade Ball Gala and Awards Dinner

Friday, April 22, 2016 Early Bird Tickets! Westin Lake Mary On Sale Now! 6:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. $75/Person Call All Souls Catholic School: 407.322.7090 for more information.

This year, our Church is celebrating the Year of Mercy. We are opening wide the doors to the saving mercy of Christ. We are asked to consider the question: what does it mean to be merciful? While we sometimes limit “mercy” to “forgiveness,” Christ’s example shows us so much more. It is about finding ways to better serve our brothers and sisters in need. Gifts to Our Catholic Appeal help our diocesan family care for those who are suffering, defend human life and dignity, engage youth through education and campus ministry, and evangelize more people than we could ever reach alone. Now it is time for all of us to share a portion of our treasure so these ministries can continue. If you received your 2016 Our Catholic Appeal packet in the mail and made your pledge, thank you. If you have not yet made your pledge, please consider doing so today. By supporting the ministries of our diocese, every parish, including our own, is better equipped to carry out the work of Christ. Our parish goal is $171,571. Once we achieve our goal, the majority of the additional funds will be returned to our parish to support our own special needs. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.

Let us remember the truly remarkable priests who have impacted our lives and especially those deceased priests of the Diocese of Orlando. Let us pray during this month of February for the repose of the soul of: Father Brendan Donnelly February 1, 2006 Father Thomas Buyers February 2, 1984 Father Anthony Palmese February 2, 2012 Father Albert LeMieuxx, O.Praem. February 3, 1985 Father Michael Hanrahan February 4, 1999 Father Edward Condren February 9, 1981 Father Antonio Pons February 15, 1999 Father Patrick J. Malone February20, 1969 Most Rev. Norbert Dorsey, C.P. February 21, 2013 Father Fred Thomas February 25, 1997 Father Larry Lossing February 25, 2012 Father Carlos Aizpun February 26, 1989

Prayer for our Deceased Priests: O God, you raised your servants, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving them the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve the sins of men in your own Holy Name. We beseech you to reward their faithfulness and to forget their faults, admitting them speedily into your holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of their labors. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This week, the Sanctuary Light in our Church burns in loving memory of Joseph Battaglini as requested by Lorraine Battaglini. May he rest in eternal peace.

Remembering our deceased diocesan priests

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church … “Merciful like the Father...is the “motto” of this Holy Year. In mercy, we find proof of how God loves us...Day after day, touched by His compassion, we also can become compassionate towards others.”
