Today’s Gospel leads us to meditate on Jesus cleansing the Temple in Jerusalem. Why did
Jesus want to clean the Temple? And what did Jesus find inside the Temple? Jesus found out
that “People sold oxen, sheep, and doves; in addition, “the money changers sat there.”
How did Jesus react vis-à-vis this cultural behavior? Jesus stopped them by spilling the coins and
overturning their tables and saying to the rest, “Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”
Some of them replied saying to Jesus, “If you want us to stop, show us a sign.” Jesus tells them,
“I will destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” What kind of temple was that?
There was nothing else other than the temple of his body.
Dear friends, imagine, Jesus coming into the temple of our heart and driving out
those things that are keeping us from loving God and others. How would our reaction be?
•
In this Third Sunday of Lent, Jesus invites us to meditate on the Temple of His Body,
and He calls us to reflect on things that hinder Him from entering our heart.

Jesus wants us to be aware of things in our heart that need to be changed.
Jesus wants us to be aware of things that paralyze us from being His followers.
Jesus wants us to be aware of distracting stuffs that possess us and hinder us from being
a good friend either with God and others. Jesus wants us to know that every single moment;
He wants to be in us. Let Him in. Can you?

PASTOR’S MESSAGE
RECOGNIZING EACH OTHER
AT A FISH FRY
The gospels have several accounts of Jesus feeding His disciples with a fish fry that
He prepares and serves. They come to recognize Him within the context of this meal and
they are encouraged and nurtured by His presence. Jesus seemed to intuitively know that
when eating together we naturally share with each other and get to know
each other. We may even grow in trust and friendship and support one another in the
challenges of conversion and the changes that come with discipleship. Jesus showed all
that to be true as He ate with public sinners like Mary Magdalene and Zacchaeus the tax collector. He reached out to them and they reciprocated
with trust and a change of life. Jesus used the context of a fish fry to reveal Himself to His disciples on the seashore and to serve them and
to calm their fears. He was truly their Lord with them and they discovered they had nothing to fear even of an unknown future. He would
always be with them accompanying them on the journey. He would always be with them to calm the stormy seas and restore tranquility.
Our recent parish fish fry sponsored by the Dad’s Club was a terrific meal within the context of families sharing, kids having lots of fun
and parishioners socializing across generational lines. Literally it was a banquet that brought members from our whole parish together
in community. I do not think that it is being overly spiritual to call attention to the presence of Jesus during our fish fry. He was there in
the sharing, listening, fun and eating. His presence made it clear that we engaged in a holy event and one that helped us grow holier.
I think we fed each other both with real food and with the encouragement and support of community. We can be sure that Jesus was
there “in the midst of them” as He promised.
A social event like the Fish Fry is a powerful reminder that Saint Joan of Arc is a social and real community as well as one that
worships together and reaches out in service together. Every time we have an event like the Fish Fry, Family Faith and Fun Day,
International Festival, Gala Auction or our upcoming Spaghetti Dinner (March 28 after 4:30 Mass) for our International Mission of Friendship,
we grow in knowledge and communion together. As we gather, Jesus who is the source of our identity and our united “Body” will always
be present as the greatest gift and blessing for us.
Our Fish Fry on a Friday during Lent is also our way of being in continuity with Christians throughout the centuries who have reverenced Friday
as the day of the passion and death of Jesus, Good Friday. The tradition of abstaining from eating meat on the Fridays of Lent (and in past years
on every Friday) throughout the year is a way of reminding ourselves of the early Christian love for the symbol of the fish. They used the picture
of a fish to identify themselves as Christians and it is present as an element of earliest Christian iconography. The act of abstaining from food for
a spiritual reason, also, is a reminder to us of those for whom fasting and abstaining is a daily way of life. It can serve as a catalyst for our
prayers and for our generosity toward the elimination of world hunger.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF FAMILY MINISTRY
LENT, LOVE AND FAMILIES
Now that we have had two weeks of Lent, let us evaluate the traditional practices
that strengthen and prepare our families to walk together toward Easter Sunday.
How are we doing so far? Are we working together in ways noticeable to
our children, and going out of our comfort zone to help others?
Is our faith as strong as it should be?
St. Augustine once said that fasting and almsgiving are the two wings that help
our prayers fly up to heaven. Think about it, by denying ourselves of the things
we think we can’t live without and caring for those in need, we put aside selfishness,
and unite ourselves as one Body of Christ. These practices allow us to focus more on
Jesus and the selfless love he wants to build up in us. Jesus wants us to look at
Lent as a time of renewal and spiritual growth. He knows that self-denial, together
with prayer and generous giving opens our lives to God’s love and His teachings.
What a beautiful message to teach our children. So how do we move forth?
If you have not, start with an extra prayer each day. Gather the family before or after work, and pray together for those who have
less than you. Give thanks every day, for all that we have comes from God. If you have the Rice Bowl, follow it with your children,
and bring it to life. Schedule a service activity with your family, it will create a life changing memory for your children.
Sacrifice a little and give with joy, and you will discover the secret of happiness.
Lent can help build harmony in our homes. Fasting, prayer and almsgiving will help us become better spouses,
better parents and better children. God rewards our efforts with abundant grace and love.
Let us use this time wisely, let us walk with Jesus this Lent, let us unite our cross to His and the Easter celebration
will find us all with lighter and happier hearts and God will bless us beyond our expectations.

The RCIA Group is now beginning the last stage of their preparation to receive
the sacraments on the Easter Vigil. The next set of Rites is called Scrutinies.
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults defines the scrutinies as follows;
“141 The scrutinies, which are solemnly celebrated on Sundays and are reinforced by
an exorcism, are rites of self-searching and repentance and have above all a spiritual
purpose. 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. For the scrutinies are celebrated in order to deliver the elect from the power
of sin and Satan, to protect them against temptation, and to give them strength in
Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. These rites, therefore, should complete
the conversion of the elect and deepen their resolve to hold fast to Christ and to carry
out their decision to love God above all.”
“143 In order to inspire in the elect a desire for purification and redemption by
Christ, three scrutinies are celebrated. By this means, first of all, the elect are
instructed gradually about the mystery of sin, from which the whole world and every
person longs to be delivered and thus saved from its present and future consequences.
Second, their spirit is filled with Christ the Redeemer, who is the living water
(gospel of the Samaritan woman in the first scrutiny), the light of the world
(gospel of the man born blind in the second scrutiny), the resurrection and the life
(gospel of Lazarus in the third scrutiny). From the first to the final scrutiny the elect
should progress in their perception of sin and their desire for salvation.”
