Mark’s Remarks LAUGH (it is the music of the soul). Take time to GIVE (it is too short a day to be selfish). Take time to WORK (it is the price of success). Take time to DO CHARITY (it is the key to heaven). –author unknown Father Theodore Hesburgh, the past President of the University of Notre Dame, died a month ago on February 22. In 1958, he delivered the homily at the dedication Mass for St. John Church & Student Center in East Lansing by invitation from Msgr. MacEachin, the pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas and founder of SJSC. Lenten blessings! Bus Tour of Houses of Worship in the Lansing Area The portrait of Blessed John Henry Newman that hangs outside the parish office at St. John was his gift to us. Let me quote from the letter of current ND president Fr. John Jenkins: Wednesday, April 22 All are welcome to join us. The cost is $45 and includes lunch and snacks. We will visit Red Cedar Friends, Cristo Rey, Islamic Center of East Lansing and Bharatiya Temple. Boarding of the bus will start at 7:45am and depart from STA parking lot at 8:00am. Tours of each facility will include a short presentation. The bus is handicapped accessible. “Father Ted served as the 15th president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 until his retirement in 1987. He was one of the nation's most influential figures in higher education, the Catholic Church and national and international affairs. While serving four Popes and accepting 16 presidential appointments, Father Ted was a moral force in virtually all major social issues of his day, including civil rights, peaceful uses of atomic energy, campus unrest, treatment of Vietnam draft evaders, thirdworld development and immigration reform. Next to Notre Dame’s founder, Father Edward Sorin, no one has had a greater impact on the University than Father Ted. With his appointments to the faculty, his creation of great centers and institutes for scholarship and research, his commitment to our Catholic character, and most of all his leadership, charisma and vision, he turned what was a school well-known for football into one of the nation’s great institutions for higher learning. Of his many accomplishments at the University, Father Ted was particularly proud of Notre Dame’s admission of women to the undergraduate program beginning under his leadership in 1972.” To reserve your spot, please make a check out to St. Thomas Aquinas and drop it off at either St. Thomas or St. John. The deadline is April 14. If you have any questions, please call Larry Meyer at 517-927-6125. This event is being sponsored by Senior Ministry.

He was a great priest and part of our parish history. Holy Thursday Special Collection This Lent take time to THINK (it is the source of power.)

Ave.) All women are welcome to join the Emmaus House ladies after Sunday Supper for a discussion on discernment, prayer and femininity. Dessert will be provided. Two more Mission Statements from our Students: My Mission I want to love Jesus with all of my entire being. I want to turn away from my idols and leave behind my notion of looking for other things, but instead to first and foremost seek God. Priesthood Discernment Group 7:30-9:00pm Monday, March 23 Student Lounge, downstairs SJSC Please email Fr. Dan Westermann ([email protected]) for more information, or RSVP on Facebook. New men ages 18-28 are welcome. I want to love God and in turn receive His love and to honestly believe that my worth is based off of Him alone, not anything the world can provide. I want to go where my trust has no borders, where I can joyfully follow the future God has planned for me with no fear or doubt. Marriage Prep for Singles 7:30pm Thursday, March 26 Room 25B, downstairs SJSC I want to be the best version of myself. I want to approach God and the world with the heart and eyes of a child. I want to accept my gifts and give them back to God. I want to feel God being with me always. I refuse to let Satan tell me who I am, but instead know who I really am: the cherished daughter of the King. I want to run into the embrace of Jesus and hear the words, “Well done, my child. Welcome Home.” During Lent, Dcn Jim and Karen Kasprzak will offer a five week class using the book "Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married". Learning marriage skills before the wedding, and even before the engagement, is a wise way to prepare for the biggest commitment of your life! Kristin Collins My Mission They will examine frequent stress points in relationships like arguments, debt and money management, division of labor, family dynamics and more. All single or dating students or parish young professionals aged 18-25 are welcome. I want to always be worthy of God’s grace and love. I want to show that love to others through my words and actions. I don’t want to ever miss an encounter with God, whether He is speaking to me or using me to speak to another. I want to be open to God’s plan for me. I want to not worry so much and trust that God is leading me to great things. I want to have the courage to always say “yes” to all that God asks of me. One day I want to have kids, and I want to be able to tell them about God using personal stories. I want to raise them to know God as I know Him, as a friend. Allison Linder Why not try and make up your own this Lenten Season. 4 Faith-Based Stories & Reflections 6-7:30pm Wednesday March 25 All students and parishioners are invited to attend this week's final Soup & Substance, held in McDevitt Hall, downstairs St. John Church & Student Center.

All are welcome! Parents are also encouraged to bring their junior high children and teens to hear and be inspired by our college students sharing their inspiring stories of service and how these experiences impacted their faith.

Feed the Hungry Give Drink to the Thirsty Clothe the Naked Shelter the Homeless Visit the Sick Visit the Imprisoned Serve the Dead This initiative was inspired by the book “Mercy in the City: How to Feed the Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty, Visit the Imprisoned, and Keep Your Day Job”. As such, author Kerry Weber has agreed to serve side-byside with our students during our final service project and to lead a discussion of our experiences. We begin at 6:00pm with prayer and a simple meal of soup and rolls, followed by our student presentations from 6:30-7:30pm.

Faculty/Community Book Discussion Group Our reading group will meet on Thursdays, April 9 and 23, to discuss two articles from Commonweal. On Thursday, April 9, we will discuss, “An Interview with Cardinal Walter Kasper -- Merciful God, Merciful Church.” commonwealmagazine.org i.d. 916 Discipleship Night For Young Adults i.d. 916 seeks to urge young adults in their 20s and 30s to answer the call to discipleship through monthly talks and fellowship, faith sharing groups and more. During his first Angelus address, Pope Francis recommended a work of theology that “has done me so much good” because it “says that mercy changes everything; it changes the world by making it less cold and more fair.” That book is “Mercy: The Essence of the Gospel and the Key to Christian Life”, by Cardinal Walter Kasper. In May 2014, two editors from Commonweal had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Cardinal Kasper about his book and the importance of mercy in the world today. For more information on i.d. 916 go to http:// renewalministries.net/ and click on "Young Adults." All are welcome to come and join the discussion. We meet from 5:30-7:00pm in Room 12 at St. John. Join us Thursday, April 9 at 6:00pm at the Church of the Resurrection for praise and worship, Mass, dinner and drinks and our monthly talk. The speaker this month is Sister Sarah Burdick, who will speak on our pillar of Orthodoxy. Please find our event on the Facebook group "i.d. 916 Lansing" or RSVP to [email protected]. 5 SMALL THINGS This past week Youth Group enjoyed the presentation by Fr. John Linden and Dawn Hausmann on Theology of the Body.....so much so that by popular request the display of materials was brought back for a second week, so teens could get the materials that interested them. CALLED. The FIFTH GRADERS are learning about God's amazing love and forgiveness through the Divine Mercy devotion. They watched a short video about Saint Faustina, and read a more detailed story about how she came to be given this devotion. Then the students got the chance to make a decorative version of one decade of the Divine Mercy Chaplet, to hang on their wall or keep by their bedside. Finally, the class prayed the chaplet together. This month's CONFIRMATION SESSION is affectionately thought of as "Speed Dating" - the students get to meet a variety of faith-filled Catholics and hear how the Holy Spirit has moved in their lives. Our first session last week, we met Mr. Paul Jarzynka, Mrs. Alison Stanley (pictured here) and Deacon Jim Kasprzak. On Saturday, March 21 the guests will be Sr. Dorothy, Ed Rivet, from Michgian Right to Life, Fr. Dan and Katrina Iamarino. MAGNIFIKID! Bulk Subscriptions will be available again this year. Magnifikid! is a wonderful resource for children between the ages of six and twelve. In each month’s packet, children will find a booklet of sixteen color pages with the readings for each Sunday and the Holy Days of Obligation. Each Magnifikid! issue also includes the prayers of Sunday Mass, with explanations of difficult words, a daily prayer suggestion for each week, and many ideas for ways to live the meaning of the readings at home. Butter and Chocolate Lambs & Crosses We will be selling butter and chocolate lambs and crosses again this year after all Masses on Palm Sunday (and during Holy Week in the Formation Office). These make a very good way for you to share your Catholic faith and traditions with family and friends - if people ask, "Why a lamb?" you can explain that Christ is the Lamb of God who gave His life for the World! The rest of the tradition is explained on a sheet you will receive with your purchase! We will also have some other fun and educational items for Easter baskets. Our sale goes toward New Horizons for Children and their hosting program for Eastern European orphans. Purchased individually, a year's subscription to Magnifikid! is about $36. Our goal is to get enough families to participate so that we can get our bulk subscription price down to $13 for the year....which we were able to do last year. Each month you can either pick your child's packets up at St. John or at St. Thomas Aquinas. If you'd be interested in joining in with our group subscription, please let us know.

RCIA Update Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults This past Sunday the catechumens/elect celebrated the Second Scrutiny. They have considered ways in which they need to move away from the darkness of sin. They prayed for a spirit of conversion and the light of faith. The entire parish community prayed for them and were reminded of their own need for ongoing conversion. At the RCIA session, the elect, candidates, and their sponsors prepared for the Third Scrutiny by discussing the gospel story of the Raising of Lazarus from Dead. They considered what is happening in the world today and where the power of death is at work. They asked what "stone" needed to be rolled away from their hearts. They considered how they might be "bound" by sin, addictions, prejudices, fears. They asked what keeps them from moving toward the freedom Jesus is offering them. If you have any questions about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or would like to discuss the possibility of joining the next group of inquirers, call Pete Ries at 517-351-5460, ext. 1328 or e-mail him at [email protected].
