CHRIST THE REDEEMER CATHOLIC CHURCH
HOUSTON, TEXAS
Dear friends in Christ,
Today is the 5th Sunday of Lent and, at the 9 a.m. Mass
today with the RCIA community, we hear the popular gospel
story of the resurrection of Lazarus (John 11). The other
masses will hear from one chapter later in John’s gospel
when Jesus predicts his coming death, “The hour has come
for the Son of Man to be glorified.” (John 12) Of course we
hear these readings in light of the approaching Easter story of
Jesus’ own resurrection from the dead. This is foreshadowing
in the best possible way. Jesus has healed the sick, given
sight to the blind, made the lame walk again and countless
others have been brought “to life” because of his presence.
Now Lazarus is literally brought back from the dead — and
still there is unbelief.
It’s important that we when we read these miracle stories in
the Scriptures that we do not read them as mere passive onlookers. We are invited to place ourselves there at the scene
and to be brought back from our own spiritual death (i.e., sin).
When Jesus gives the command to those surrounding Lazarus, “Untie him and let him go,” we too should allow ourselves
to be “untied” from the bonds of spiritual death so that we
might live anew in Christ.
One of the best ways to be “untied” from sin is through the
grace that comes in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We will
offer our annual Lenten Penance Service this Tuesday, March
24 at 6:30 p.m. We’ll have multiple priests here to hear confessions and I encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful time to be reconciled to Christ and the Church. I especially encourage anyone who has been away from the Sacrament of Reconciliation for a number of years to avail yourself
of God’s mercy. Don’t worry if you “don’t know what to say or
do.” The priests will be here to help you. We’ll walk you
through everything. “Be not afraid,” as Jesus says repeatedly
in the scriptures. Come home to Christ’s love and forgiveness!
Please note our start time of 6:30 p.m. for confessions.
That’s 30 minutes earlier than in the past, and this year we
will not have a word service prior to confessions. The priests
will be ready to start confessions at that time and you can go
to any priest you wish. It’s our hope we can wrap up a little
earlier than in the past. If you can’t make our service on Tuesday, our good friend and former vicar, Fr. Ryszard Kulma, will
offer another reconciliation service at St. Edith Stein Church
on Fry Road on Thursday, March 26 at 7 p.m.
Today is also the third and final Scrutiny for our catechumens who will be baptized at the Easter Vigil on April 4.
Please remember to keep them in your prayers, as well as our
Candidates (those who have been baptized already and now
seek full communion with the Church). Those candidates will
be received into the Church on Sunday, April 12. We will be
welcoming 59 new Catholics into the faith at CtR this Easter.
Praise be to God!
It’s not too early to begin looking ahead to next Sunday and
the beginning of Holy Week. Of course it begins with Passion
(Palm) Sunday next week. Palms will be distributed and
blessed at all masses. Remember that the 9 a.m. Mass on
Palm Sunday begins outside on the plaza as we call to mind
Jesus’ procession and entry into Jerusalem. A nice tradition
that has developed over the years at CtR is the wearing of the
March 22, 2015
color red on Palm Sunday by members of the congregation.
It’s the liturgical color of the day and a good reminder of the
passion and suffering our Lord endured for us.
We’ll cover more of the Holy Week schedule in next week’s
bulletin, but to help you prepare, our liturgy schedule for Triduum will be as follows: Holy Thursday, April 2: 7 p.m.;
Good Friday: April 3, 3 p.m.; Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil), April 4: 8:30 p.m.; and Easter Sunday, April 5: 7 a.m., 9
a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Note that special time for the last
Mass on Easter Sunday: 1 p.m. There is no 5 p.m. Mass on
Easter Sunday. In addition we will offer Masses in the Parish
Hall on Easter Sunday morning at 7 a.m., 9 a.m., and 11
a.m. For those who may be sensitive to the use of incense,
please note that it will not be used at the three masses in the
hall. We’ll have more details next week, but make plans on
joining us for this great celebration of the Sacred Triduum.
Today is one of our most eagerly awaited days on our
church’s calendar as it is the kick-off to our rapidly approaching 30th annual CtR Spring Festival. Our chairpersons, Mike
and Camille Havelka, will reveal the always popular Festival tshirt and have more information for us at all masses. The
shirts will be available right after Mass in the Parish Hall for
only $10 for adults and $8 for kids. It’s a great way to show
your CtR pride and help support the Festival.
It’s no secret that what makes the Spring Festival such an
awesome event for our parish and community is the great
number of people who volunteer their time and talent over the
weekend. Your help is especially needed to staff a shift or two
(usually in a block of two hours each) in one of our many
booths, rides and games. The help and support of every one
in the parish, both young and old, is most needed. It’s a great
way to give back to the life of the community.
On-line sign-ups are open now through our parish website: festival.ctrcc.com. You can access the page directly or
through a link on the main page. It only takes a minute or two
to sign up to help at one of the many areas in need. You can
even do so after Mass when you are picking up a t-shirt as
we’ll have computers ready for your use. Do it now and you
will have the pick of the shift that best fits your schedule. It
couldn’t be easier, and remember it’s a great family event so
this is an opportune time to get the kids involved by serving
others. Look for more Spring Festival news coming soon, and
don’t forget the raffle ticket sale for a chance to win a new car.
Most importantly mark your calendar now for April 25-26 and
plan on joining us for a great weekend. We look forward to
seeing you here!
Finally, as CtR continues to grow we are seeking an additional person to join our Facilities crew. This position will help
with the general maintenance around our physical plant and
as such we are seeking a jack-of-all-trades type of dedicated
worker. It requires physical labor, and will include some night
and weekend duties. The position is open now and applications are available in the front office. Help us spread the word
in the community if you know of someone who might be seeking employment. For more information, contact Deacon Phillip
Jackson, our parish administrator.
Peace, Fr. Sean

Call to Family, Community and Participation
CRS Rice Bowls will be collected at all the Masses
April 11-12. Your child can turn in their rice bowl in
their Religious Ed, Genesis and Catholic school class.
† Human beings are social by nature. We, like the early
disciples, are called to come together as a community in
our classroom, workplace or family.
† God makes covenants with groups of people - entire
communities - and He keeps His promises. What does this
say about God? What does this say about how we, in
community, relate to God?
† Jesus recognizes that He has arrived at a difficult point
in His life for the sake of glorifying God. He commits to
doing God’s will, no matter the cost. Do we offer our suffering up for the glory of God? Do we help others work
through their own difficulties for God’s greater glory?
† This week’s CRS Rice Bowl Story of Hope takes us to
the Democratic Republic of Congo, where we meet a community that comes together to improve their harvests. Do
we see God in new ways when we come together as a
community? How does God speak through others?
