Notes From the Pastor: This fourth Sunday of Lent we hear Israels repeated infidelity to the covenant God has reminded them over and over again and yet they continued their abominable attitude. By the very act itself they already have betrayed God and the covenant, and their very actions already have destroyed the temple of their body and the community dedicated to God. Last Sunday, we are reminded that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore every time we sinnned we have desecrated this temple of God. But like Israel, God so loves us (John 3:16, our Gospel this Sunday) that He gives us an opportunity to renew, to start all over again. This is also one of the reasons why this Sunday is called Laetare Sunday or a Sunday of joy. The main reason is the anticipation of the joy of Easter, and the second reason should be in celebration that we are changed for the better, we are reborn, and we have grown. All these are made possible with the sacrament of reconciliation after being disposed by our Lenten sacrifices. The Season of Lent would not be complete without including a special moment for the sacrament of confession or reconciliation. Going through our Lenten sacrifices, we hope to experience that inner longing of God in our hearts and at the same time feel an appreciation of everything that God has done and is doing for us. It is only through this experience and appreciation that we would avail of the grace to renew ourselves, to unite ourselves with the resurrected Lord after His joyful resurrection! Having said this, I hope everybody, will avail of the opportunity of the penance services that we have scheduled. Even then, I would still want to know how many people will be coming so I will have an idea if one priest is enough or not. So kindly express your intention if you are coming to the Arma or Girard penance service by putting in a piece of paper on the box provided.
