That we may give glory to Jesus with our time in prayer, our talent in parish ministry, and our treasure supporting our parish mission. “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s

house to a land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1) God calls all of us to leave behind our old ways and to follow

Him, placing our complete trust in Him. Some of the old ways that we may have to struggle to leave behind might be materialism, selfishness and greed. Yet God promises to show us a new land

and a better way to live.

2do domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 12 de Marzo Que podamos dar gloria a Jesús con nuestro tiempo en oración,

nuestro talento en ministerio parroquial y nuestro tesoro apoyando nuestra misión parroquial.

“Salgan de la tierra de sus parientes y de la casa de su padre, a una tierra que yo les mostrare.” (Génesis 12:1)

Dios nos llama a todos a dejar atrás nuestros antiguos caminos y a seguirlo, poniendo nuestra plena confianza en El. Algunas de las

viejas formas que tendremos que luchar para dejar atrás pueden ser el materialismo, el egoísmo y la codicia. Sin embargo, Dios

promete mostrarnos una nueva tierra y una mejor forma de vivir.

LITURGY CORNER/MENSAJE DE LITURGIA

Reminder - Daylight Savings time begins

Sunday, March 12th at 2 am.

Spring forward!

Responsorial Psalm II Why is the psalm called “responsorial?” In a certain sense, the

psalm is a response to the first reading. The name, however, derives from the fact that it is an antiphonal “call and response” format. It is representative of the dialogical nature of the liturgy itself, sort of a “conversational” form of prayer. This is why it is important to use musical settings that honor that format, rather than hymns that are

based on psalms, but which have no repeated antiphon.

El Salmo Responsorial II ¿Por que el salmo es denominado “responsorial”? En cierto sentido, el salmo es una respuesta a la primera lectura. El nombre, sin embargo, deriva del hecho de que esta en un formato antifonal “convocación y respuesta”. Es representativo de la naturaleza de dialogo de la propia Liturgia, una especia de oración “conversacional”. De ahí la importancia de usar arreglos musicales que hagan honor a este formato, en lugar de himnos basados en salmos, que carecen de una antífona que se repite.

We want to express our deep gratitude to all of you, members of St. Francis de Sales Parish family, for your warm welcome, your incredible hospitality and your generosity in the collection while we were with you for your Parish Mission. Your generosity allows us to continue our missionary work, especially in poorer parishes, and to support our own Redemptorist community. We consider it a wonderful blessing that we were able to preach the Word of God and share our faith with all of you. Your energy and witness are a true inspiration to us. Blessings of health and peace to all! The Lord willing, we shall meet again. And please remember our Redemptorist missionary work in your prayers. In the Redeemer, Fr. Thomas Santa, C.Ss.R. & Fr. Patrick Keyes, C.Ss.R. Queremos expresar nuestro profundo agradecimiento a todos uste-des miembros de la familia de la parroquia de San Francisco de Sales, por su cálida acogida, su hospitalidad y su generosidad en la colecta mientras estábamos con ustedes para su Misión Parroquial. Su generosidad nos ayuda a nosotros redentoristas continuar nues-tro trabajo misionero, especialmente con las parroquias y comuni-dades mas necesitadas. Consideramos que es una bendición maravillosa que tuvimos la oportunidad de predicar la Palabra de Dios y compartir nuestra fe con todos ustedes . Su energía y su testimonio son una verdadera inspiración para nosotros. Bendiciones de salud y paz para todos. El Señor lo permita, nos encontraremos de nuevo. Y por favor recuerden nuestro trabajo misionero redentorista en sus oraciones.. En el Redentor, P. Thomas Santa, C.Ss.R. y P. Patricio Keyes, C.Ss.R.

Below are the guidelines of Lenten observance for the faithful in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.

As outlined on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' website on Lenten fasting and abstinence, "fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year.

Fridays in Lent are obligatory days of complete abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th year.

El miércoles de Ceniza y el viernes Santo, son días de ayuno y abstinencia. Todos los Viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia.

El ayuno es compromiso de todas las personas de 18 hasta los 59 años de edad, a menos que tengan problemas de salud. Durante los días de ayuno, se permite una comida completa y dos comidas livianas, suficientes para mantenerse fuertes de acuerdo a nuestras necesidades. No se permiten bocadillos entre comidas aunque si se puede tomar líquidos. La abstinencia es compromiso para todas las personas que han cumplido 14 años de edad, a menos que tengan problemas de salud.

Encounter Nutrition We encounter Evelina in Zambia as she and other mothers in her community learn new ways to provide nutritious meals for their growing children and families. How do we ensure that those who are hungry have not only food but true nourishment? Pick up your rice bowl in the CCE office and return to the parish office before or by Easter Sunday.
