On this First Sunday of Lent, we recall the twofold nature of this season. For Catechumens, designated this week as The Elect, Lent is a time of final preparation for the Sacrament of Baptism. For those of us already baptized, it is a time of repentance and renewal through the practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. For all of us, baptized and unbaptized alike, Lent is about our baptismal covenant with God–––the promises that we have made and will make, rejecting Satan and professing our belief in God. Year B’s Old Testament readings chart God’s unfolding invitation to ever-deepening covenant love. Offered through Noah, this first covenant embraces God’s whole creation, the fragile earth and all living creatures, in all our rich diversity. Strikingly, this covenant prescribes no sacred rites, no revealed scriptures. Instead, its sacramental sign is immediately accessible, easily read even by those with little or no religious inclination: I set my bow in the clouds. God’s rainbow pledges that the cosmic order’s recurrent rhythms, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will continue in perpetuity, despite our sins, for all creatures’ well-being. Year B’s second reading ties Old Testament and Gospel: Noah’s family, saved through water, prefigured baptism, which saves you now. After Jesus’ Baptism and missioning as God’s Beloved Son, the Spirit compelled Jesus into the desert, there to be tempted by Satan...among wild beasts. Each Lent, therefore, begins with the Gospel of Jesus’ temptation, the perfect episode with which to begin our Lenten journey toward Baptism or Baptism Renewal. For, as Baptism did not lead Jesus to peaceful contemplation but to spiritual testing and self-sacrificing ministry, so we should not be surprised to find ourselves among wild beasts in a world often indifferent, sometimes hostile. But even here ministering angels are visible to faith-filled eyes, and Lent’s reconciliation kindles within and among us blessed reminders of creation’s peaceable kingdom past and its fulfillment yet to come.

Centennial Celebration in February In February we commemorate the papal visit of 1981 – when Pope St. John Paul II walked and prayed amongst us. At 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 26, the 34th anniversary of his visit, we will celebrate and remember this special visit. We will have the opportunity to listen to the homily he gave, view photos, reminisce with those who participated, and nibble on Polish delicacies. Please visit the Holy Family Center and Parish Hall to see photo displays of the Pope’s visit. In addition to celebrating this canonized saint, we also celebrate those saints in the making – our spouses. How often does a spouse go off to work whether they feel like it or not? How many meals are prepared, loads of laundry done, trash baskets emptied, diapers changed, crying babies and sick children cared for? How many broken nights of sleep? How many hours in prayer for our lost sheep? It is in serving those whom we love, who have been entrusted to our care, day in and day out, when no one is looking, or seems to appreciate the daily grind – that is when saints are made. Visit us on Facebook: Holy Family Cathedral Centennial Celebration 2015. And please contact Fr. Augustine if you have any historical photos about the Cathedral to share. Around the Archdiocese Adoration Opportunity: Lenten Devotion Lent is a good time to pray before the Blessed Sacrament as part of your Lenten sacrifice.

House Bill 99, sponsored by three Anchorage Democrats would permit doctors to prescribe lethal drugs to patients for the purpose of suicide. Opponents of the practice believe that patients – including those with terminal illness – need proper care, not destruction. Archbishop Roger Schwietz, who leads 30,000 Catholics across Southcentral Alaska, strongly opposes the bill, saying it is not about granting people a so-called “right to die,” but pushing “doctors to prescribe lethal drugs to kill people.” The Fifth Commandment forbids direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful. - Excerpted from the February Catholic Anchor, Patricia Coll Freeman Liturgical Ministers - February 28 and March 1 Lectors Luke Klotz, Nancy Wingate Ellen Moran, Liam Moran Ken Wichorek, Karen Quick Eduardo Dawag, Abby Rusak Kristy Crosby, Beth Kenney Altar Servers 5:30 vigil Aimee Chico, Dane Enriquez 7:30 a.m. Declan, Isaac, and Alexander Dammeyer 9:30 a.m. Alex Oria, Joshua Oria, Rex Hepner 12:00 p.m. A.
