The Scrutinies
FAITH FORMATION/YOUTH MINISTRY
On the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, Sundays of Lent the Church celebrates
the Scrutinies if we have elect in the parish. This year we do
have an elect, Joshua Fiscus, grandson of Mary Ellen
White. Joshua has been preparing since last fall to receive the
Easter sacraments. Joshua has been attending the 5:30pm Saturday Mass each weekend. For the scrutinies we will ask
Joshua to go to a different Mass each weekend so the entire
parish can see him and get to know him.
When a parish celebrates the scrutinies for the elect we use special readings and special prayers. We will be hearing the readings from the 3rd (the Samaritan woman at the well), 4th (Jesus
curing the blind man) , and 5th (Jesus raising Lazarus from the
dead), Sundays of cycle A this year (rather than the readings
from year B that we're currently reading). These readings help
reinforce to our elect that Jesus is the living water, Jesus is the
light of the world, and Jesus is the first born of the dead, the
resurrected.
On the 3rd Sunday of Lent and on the 5th Sunday of Lent our
elect will receive a copy of The Nicene Creed and the Lord's
Prayer, respectively. Allowing and encouraging him to commit
to memory what the Church believes and how the Church
prays.
Please continue to pray for Joshua Fiscus and his family and all
of the elect and candidates of the Church, that they will continue to be strengthened and enlightened by God.
Sacred Heart Catholic Church,
Newton, will host a Parish Mission entitled ‘Walking in the
Footsteps of Jesus’ Sunday
through Thursday, March 8-12 at
7pm at Sacred Heart Catholic
Church. Fr. Gene Robertson, a
priest of the Archdiocese of St.
Louis, will be the leader of the
Mission. All are welcome to attend any or all days. Come join us!
