     With this bulletin is a letter to everyone from Bishop Perez regarding what is called “religious posture” (when we stand, sit and kneel) at the Communion Rite at Mass. During the next few weeks, there will be inserts in the bulletin and I will speak on this at Mass. As the Bishop wrote, there has always been a policy in our diocese since the New Roman Missal was introduced in 2003, and the bishop would like it to be standard at all parishes beginning this year on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27.

     This item came across my desk recently from the 40 Days For Life people: Archbishop Joseph Naumann of the U.S. Bishops Committee on Pro-Life Activities, emphasized in his March for Life homily at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception that if you see one movie in 2019, see Unplanned. This is Abby Johnson’s story – a story of hope, truth, and love – from Planned Parenthood’s Person of the Year, to Pro-Life Champion, and ultimately, to the Catholic Faith. The film opens nationwide March 29th and is recommended for 9th graders and older accompanied by a parent. Please consider attending on the all-important opening weekend. For theater locations, go to www.unplannedtickets.com   This is a one in a generation pro-family opportunity, a time for authentic liberty and justice for all. It is a powerfully told and beautifully made film, a story of redemption, a moment of clarity that will inspire you for a lifetime Try to make time for this movie.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

 

In this third week of Lent, the gospel challenges us to repent. What are you clinging to that is actually destroying you? It could be anger that is eating you up; jealousy that hardens your heart; or a false pride that blinds you to the goodness of others. These things can destroy us and the relationships that we value. Let us see repentance in a positive light as an opportunity to be embraced by Jesus’ great mercy that will set us free.
