Day by Day through THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL, by Pope Francis
The Fourth Sunday of Lent,
March 15th: paragraphs 154 - 159 The preacher, according to Pope Francis, is
always to be positive when pointing to the future, always offering hope. Would my
family and friends think I'd be a good preacher by these standards?
Monday, March 16th: pars. 160 - 168
"Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten
and strengthen and free you." (par. 164). This is "the first announcement" or kerygma that needs to ring out
over and over and be heard in a deeper and deeper place in our hearts. This deepening leads to growth and
greater maturity in the faith. What am I doing right now to grow in my faith? (Well...for one thing I'm
reading the Pope's letter!)
Tuesday, March 17th (St. Patrick): pars. 169 - 175
Who do I count on to "accompany" me in my faith journey? Am I accompanying someone in particular as
they grow in faith?
Wednesday, March 18th: pars. 176 - 179
Why can't my faith be just a "me 'n Jesus" kinda thing? Why do I have to bring others into the faith-equation?
Thursday, March 19th (St. Joseph): pars. 180 - 185
This is beginning to sound like we should be hearing more about politics from the pulpit. Hmmm...
Friday, March 20th: pars. 186 - 192
Now this DEFINITELY sounds like Fr. Jim should be preaching politics! Or...does it?
Saturday, March 21st: pars. 193 - 196
When was the last time I had a personal face-to-face encounter with someone who is among "the least,"
someone who society "discards?"

Adult Faith Formation Center —
Beginning May 19th
St. Jude’s is hosting an Adult Faith
Formation Center through the
Archdiocese Office of Religious
Education. The course covers a variety
of topics from Revelation to Catholic Social Teaching
through a series of sessions running from May 19th
through June 13th: Tuesday and Thursday evenings
form 6-9:30 p.m. and 2 Saturdays from 9-4 p.m.
The class is the first step in certification for faith
formation or liturgy, but is open to everyone as a way
to reflect on a variety of topics in our Catholic
faith. The course will be taught by Deacon Dave
Smith from St. Julies, Linda Smith and Cindy
Kozal. For questions contact Cindy at 818-889-0612
or [email protected]
Children’s Liturgy
Children’s Liturgy is held during the 10 a.m. Mass.
We truly need more volunteers to help in
this ministry!
Please contact Amy Simons at [email protected]
Please Pray for
our Elect as they
enter into their final time of
spiritual preparation before
entering into the full
sacramental life at the
Easter Vigil. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults designates three
Scrutiny Rites as a major component of their Lenten Journey. For the
Third, Fourth and Fifth Sundays of Lent, we celebrate these “scrutinies”
for the elect. The scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal, all that is
weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect; to bring out, then
strengthen all that is upright, strong and good. The Catholic faithful are
called to walk with the elect in their journey of spiritual cleansing and
growth. Through the ancient penitential practices of prayer, fasting, and
charitable works, we search our own hearts and souls for those areas of
darkness still in need of God’s bountiful mercy and healing. As the elect
pray that their sins and weaknesses be removed to embrace the life of
faith, so we make the same journey, removing any spiritual darkness in our
own lives. At Easter the whole Church stands renewed in the waters and
the promises of baptism for our salvation and the salvation of the world.

Blessed Mother
The Confirmation program at Saint Jude celebrates the Holy Spirit
working in the hearts of our teens. Confirmation preparation is a time of
discernment for our teens to explore, challenge, grow and eventually
take ownership of the Catholic Faith. It is a process that involves our
teens, families, and the entire parish community.
This is an exciting and powerful study that
reveals Mary's unique role in God's kingdom and in
our lives. Experience the Gospel through the eyes of

A
gain,
we
are inviting all
parishioners to
join in creating
a beautiful and
joyful environment in which
to celebrate the blessed Easter liturgy by
donating Easter lilies.
Begin thinking of the dedications you
would like to make and how you would
like to express them, perhaps by including
a picture or drawing. These labels may be
created at home before bringing your plant
to the church. Please just be sure to
confine it to a size that will fit on the pot
cover. If you prefer to make your
dedication at the donation site, labels will
be available for your use.
You may bring your lily donations
to the stage in the hall on Holy
Thursday or Good Friday from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. or you may bring them to the
church vestibule on Holy Saturday from
8a.m. to 12 noon.
We thank you all for your past
generosity in making the church reflect the
glory of this Holy Season and we hope you
will join in making it that way again this
year!

“It is a mortal sin to discard our elderly... The
elderly are not aliens. We are them – in a short or in
a long while we are inevitably them, even though we
choose not to think about it."
- Pope Francis
The St. Jude Parish Library is an excellent source of
material for spiritual reading during Lent. We have books,
CD's and DVD's on a wide range of topics. The library's book
cart is on the patio during the Coffee and Conversation time on
Sunday mornings and you can check out the key for the library
to browse the materials on the
shelves at any time that the Parish Office is open.
During Lent, the Parish Library Book Group members will
be attending University Series Lectures and the Religious
Education Congress. Our next book discussion meeting will be
in April. For more information about the Parish Library Book
Group, please contact [email protected].
