Lent – Through the Lens of Outreach
Adding vs. Subtracting
I
A
n the past year one of our Ministries of Outreach, Franciscan Pathways of Jus ce, has hosted a number of presenta ons with topics based on the Seven Themes of Catholic
Social Teaching. The most recent presenta on was “Lenten
Journey for Racial Jus ce.” For many of us, conversa ons
about race are not easy, calling for a great deal more in macy
and risk than we are accustomed to. Where can we begin?
Maybe it begins with a dialogue with ourselves when we ask,
Why am I uncomfortable with this?
It takes courage to navigate a topic so weighted with
painful history. Through knowing that we are held in Grace
by God and community, can we cast aside our fears? Understanding that we are each made in God’s image, can we
replace our fears with love? These are good ques ons to ask
ourselves in this Lenten season as we wait, reflect and listen
for God’s voice in our inner silence. This is a me when we
focus our hearts, minds and souls on the presence of Christ in
all of us.
Lent is an opportunity to reconcile our inward beliefs
with our outward prac ces.
A er healing a blind man, Jesus asks him, “Do you see
anything?” The blind man replies, “I see people looking like
trees and walking.” Are we, like the blind man, stumbling
forward and seeing people “looking like trees and walking” or,
in the shades of black, brown and white around us, do we see
the face of God?
We can move past our “blindness” by staying grounded
in our Chris an understanding that we are each made in
God’s image. We can remember that it is in covenant that
we live, covenant with God and with each other. During this
Lenten season, let us pray for the grace to care for each other
as whole persons, the courage to move beyond our comfort
zones, and the determina on to be more inten onal about
building rela onships across the color line. If we ask for this
grace, I believe it will be granted by Christ in the libera ng
and healing Spirit of God, the God of all people, of all colors,
who is love.
s we enter into Lent, I am always conflicted as to
how to feel. When I was young, the Lenten Season
presented itself as this dark, austere me of sacrifice and
repentance. I had visions of those in the early Church walking
around with no shoes, burlap bags for clothes and ashes all
over their faces. The subject of conversa on was, “What are
you giving up for Lent?” The thought of the 40 days of Lent
can’t help but bring back the Bible stories of Moses fas ng on
Mount Sinai for 40 days or Jesus going into the desert to pray
for 40 days. It was a me of seclusion and inward turning—a
period of reflec on, penance and fas ng.
Fas ng can be a good thing, specially for those who have
a few “Winter Pounds” to lose, like me. There is nothing wrong
with se ng aside a me of reflec on on our lives and taking
some inventory on how we are doing and repen ng for our
transgressions. But aren’t these things we should be doing
every day—nstead of only during the 40 some days of Lent?
That was something that always confused me. Instead of denial,
of giving something up for 40 days, why don’t we, instead,
commit to something posi ve for the rest of our lives?
I’m very certain that God is happy when we repent of sin.
He may even be pleased that we sacrifice something we enjoy
like chocolate, or wine, or watching TV. But I’d bet He would
be even more pleased if we added something to the rest of
our lives instead of subtrac ng something for a few days.
How about looking at each other with acceptance rather than
with judgment? Try to do a kindness for someone during
the day. Replace a nega ve thought about yourself with a
posi ve one. Replace a nega ve thought about someone else
with a posi ve one.
I’m sure we can all think of something posi ve we can
add to our lives for the rest of our lives.

Draw Closer to Me
Get your seat cleaned for Easter!
I
n the Liturgy Team’s discussion and
planning for Lent this year we talked
about all the thousands of decisions we
make every day, and how just by changing some of those decisions we can draw
closer to God during Lent—instead of
“adding” or “giving up” something else or
making a “New Year’s type resolu on.” We could just become
more aware of the thousands of decisions we make each
day—what me to get up? What to have for lunch? Where to
shop? Who to call on the phone? Who to spend me with?
And then, during Lent, change some or at least one of those
decisions… in order to draw closer to God. Ahh! That’s the
crux of Lent (no pun intended!): to draw closer to God and
grow in that rela onship.
Saturday, March 21
F
elipe Valverde needs 12 volunteers to help clean and repair
the chairs in Brunsman Hall and the
Church. Please help him get the job
done before Easter. Please call him
to let him know that you can help
(731-4949). Thanks!
Annual Catholic Appeal—It’s Not Too Late!
T
hank you to those who have already
contributed and/ or pledged to the
2015 Annual Catholic Appeal! The Annual
Catholic Appeal is our yearly tradi on that
connects us to thousands of people who
need our help every day. If you have not yet made a dona on,
Appeal envelopes are available in the pews, or contact the
parish oﬃce. Your gi truly makes a diﬀerence in the lives of
others. 25% comes back to our parish for our Assistance to
the Needy program.
The ques on for the Liturgy Team then became how
could we express this visually, in our church? We talked about
using shi ing colors, to reflect the transi ons and changes
we experience throughout Lent. The large banner that you
see hanging in the church is a result of that discussion. I
designed this Lenten banner by changing the pale e of colors
within a photo to the Lenten shades of violet and purple, and
then Photoshopping it into pixels so it looks like a mosaic—
thousands of li le one-inch fabric squares represen ng the
decisions we make every day—like the mosaic of our lives.
On Ash Wednesday we heard God say to us, “Return to
me with your whole heart!” Our God is longing for us, yearning for us, desiring us. What is keeping you from drawing closer
to Jesus? To God?
Our Parish
St. Francis Parish is a Catholic Chris an Community
building the reign of God in the spirit and path
of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi.
May the grace and peace of Christ be with you this Lent,
We value vibrant liturgy and personal prayer
as a way to worship God and celebrate life.
Deborah Jones, Director of Liturgy
Challenged by the Holy Spirit,
we reach beyond ourselves to care for our neighbors,
the poor, the marginalized,
and those alienated by our Catholic Church.

Opportunities and Information
Lenten Soup Suppers

Try Something New for Lent: Living Simply
Wednesday, March 18
Topic: “Stations of the Cross and Resurrection”
5:30pm Dinner (please bring 1 can of soup per person)
6:00 - 7:00 pm Lenten Reﬂection and Activity
Jesus said to them: Be on your guard against all
kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the
abundance of possessions. – Luke 12:15
L
ent is a major event in our Chris an community, a me
when many want to “do something more” to cul vate
their spiritual life and make the world a be er place. A conscious de-clu ering of our lives can enable us to live more
simply and in right rela onship with God, crea on and our
en re human family.
J
oin our school families in Brunsman Hall for a simple
meal and an opportunity for prayer, reflec on, and prepara on for Easter. RSVP not required but greatly appreciated for
a general head count: Tami Gu errez ([email protected]).
Did you know?
If the Earth were divided equally among all of us, each
person would receive 4.5 acres. Everything you need to survive would have to come from these 4.5 acres. It takes 22.3
acres to maintain the average American lifestyle. Do we really
need all the stuﬀ stored in our closets, cabinets and garages?
Stations of the Cross
Fridays in Lent
3:00pm and 6:00pm in the Church
W
e invite you to join our parish community in
praying the Sta ons of the Cross.
What Can You Do?
Commit to weekly spiritual prac ces of de-clu ering in
order to cul vate the goal of living simply. Each week the
bulle n will provide a prac cal ac on to guide you in various
areas of your life. These ac ons can lead you throughout
your Lenten journey to the grace of Easter which restores
peace and reconcilia on to the world and all its inhabitants.
Fasting and Abstinence
Abstinence from Meat: Observed on Ash
Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays
of Lent by all Catholics 14 years and older.
Fasting: Observed on Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday by all Catholics 18 to 59 years
old. The tradi onal norm for fas ng is to eat only one full
meal. Smaller meals throughout the day, if all added up,
should not be more than one full meal.
Spiritual Practices for the Journey
Week 1. Food
Go though your cabinets to find food that you have not
used and will probably not use. Check the expira on date and
donate those items that have not expired to a local food bank.
Journey Inward, Journey Outward
Week 2. Toys: Kids/Adults
P
ope Francis preached the following
on the 2nd Sunday of Lent a year ago:
Sort through your children’s toys and
donate outgrown items to charity. Look
through your own books, CDs movies,
unused spor ng equipment and donate.
“We need to go to a place of retreat,
to climb the mountain and go to a place of silence, to find ourselves and be er perceive the voice of the Lord. We cannot stay
there, however. The encounter with God in prayer again pushes
us to come down from the mountain and back down into the
plain, where we meet many brothers and sisters weighed down
by fa gue, injus ce, and both material and spiritual poverty.”
Week 3. Clothing
Go through your closets and eliminate
clothing you haven’t worn in a year and
donate to charity.
Week 4. Documents and Papers
Franciscan Richard Rohr writes:
Si though your files and eliminate paper clu er. Shred
unnecessary records at local oﬃce supply store.
“I believe that there are two necessary paths enabling
us to move toward wisdom: a radical journey inward and a
radical journey outward... Jesus came to teach us the way of
wisdom. He brought us a message that oﬀers to liberate us
from both the lies of the world and the lies that are lodged
in ourselves.”
Week 5. E-waste
Donate your E-Waste to EWaste 4
Good, and support our school at the same
me: www.ewaste4good.com, or take your
E-Waste to the Sacramento Food Bank.
Then a cloud came, cas ng a shadow over them; from the
cloud came a voice, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."

From Our School
7th Grade Makes a Diﬀerence—Thank You!
7th
grade students have been suppor ng our Step
Ministry since the start of this school year. They began
by mee ng with Director of Outreach Galen Unruh and taking
a tour of the Parish Center Courtyard and guest area. Next,
they wrote le ers to Galen and Father Ken, with sugges ons for
ways the students might help to support our parish outreach
to our sisters and brothers who are homeless. Then, they
helped decorate for the Mardi Gras Gala, our parish fundraiser
that supports our Step Ministry.
Most recently, they made Valen ne cards with their
TK and Kindergarten “Li le Buddies” for our Step guests,
decorated a special Valen ne’s gi bag for each guest, and
they brought in fruit, juice, granola bars, and rain ponchos.
