]]> admin Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:13:53 +0100 http://saintjosephmsj.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Lent .diffchar { color:red; } The Gospel of Luke tells us that it is at the end of his 40 days of fasting in the desert that the devil approaches him: What is the real temptation here? Jesus is hungry and clearly has the power to work this miracle. But bread represents earthly goods, and Jesus knows that his hunger can be satisfied by God alone. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus does not condemn the material goods that we need to survive and thrive as human persons; rather, he challenges us to give up those "things" that keep us from being faithful to God. We are children of God, and in God is the fullness of our identity. When the rich official approaches Jesus in Lk 18:18, Jesus tells him everything that he must do inherit eternal life. When Jesus reminds him to keep the commandments, the man insists that he has done so for-his entire life. But what Jesus knows about this man is that his heart is set on something other than God. So Jesus tells him, "Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." The Gospels tell us that the rich official, clearly dismayed by this advice, "went away sad."

St. Joseph Catholic Church ~ Communion Ministers
Schedule for March 2010

St. Joseph Catholic Church
Communion Ministers
Commentary:
“By adoring the Eucharist the faithful confess that in the mystery of the Eucharist there is present the flesh of Christ our Savior who suffered, died, and rose for us so that we might live with him forever. Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, Lord have mercy on us.”
Schedule for March 2010
Thanks for those who volunteered for Ash Wednesday. The liturgy and homilies were a great start for Lent as an opportunity for reconciliation and making improvements in our faith.
In three weeks, we will begin to identify ministers for the Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday/Easter Vigil) on April 1, 2, and 3.
•All Triduum liturgies start at 8 pm.
•You may serve at one, two, or all three liturgies.
•Sign-up sheets will be available by March 5, or you can send us an email.
•Additional positions are necessary to handle the crowds, and we also need alternates to be available.
•The procedures will be similar as in prior years.
•Further instructions and map of where to stand will be available in the Purple EM Sign-Up? Notebook on the sign-in table.
March 27-28 week end is Palm Sunday. There will be a procession before each Mass. The Eucharistic minister procedures are the same for this Sunday, however, Eucharistic ministers are asked to participate in the processions.
We want to add more Head Cup and Head Host ministers for all the Masses. If you are interested, or know of someone who is interested, please call or write us.
Reminders:
•Please arrive at least 10 minutes before Mass. At five minutes before Mass time, we need to have substitutes in place.

•If you are distributing the host, please watch each person accept the consecrated Body of Christ, to see that it is consumed immediately. Do not allow anyone to walk away with the host in their hands. Politely ask them to consume it now! />
•The next schedule for April 2010 will be generated on March 22nd. Please send us or call with changes/absences for April which includes Easter Triduum.
Thank you for your continuing commitment to this ministry. Through your efforts our ministry adds reverence, and is helpful to the community at large in maintaining the focus on the Word and the Eucharist.
