BULLETIN DEADLINE – MONDAY, 9:00 AM
Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Fifth Sunday of Lent
March 22, 2015
The story of redemption is not about our perfection. It’s about broken relationships, forgiveness and new beginnings. The ongoing transgressions
of humans make it abundantly clear that we have never been perfect. But God keeps offering us healing opportunities: making new covenants
when relationships are broken, giving us Jesus to follow. Through baptism, we were brought into this covenanted people. What does this mean
for each of us personally? How do we grow in our relationship to God, even in our imperfection?

Did you ever wonder what Our Lady’s Sodality is all about? For
information or if you would be interested in joining – call Kathy
Abbott 410-661-0558.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus is very direct in calling us to follow
him unreservedly; to give ourselves totally to him as he
gave himself totally for us. The call to the priesthood and
religious life is a heroic choice to die to oneself and lose
oneself to God. It is a call to follow Jesus in a more radical
way.
