FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT
First Reading: Jeremiah 31:31-34
The Lord comforted his people, who were exiled to Babylon, by
telling them of the new covenant he planned to make with them.
The Lord declared he would write his law upon their hearts, and
that he would forgive their evil and forget the sins they had
committed in the past.
Second Reading: Hebrews 5:7-9
Though God could have heeded his Son’s prayers and spared
him suffering, Jesus accepted his Fathers will. Through his
suffering, he learned obedience and became the source of
eternal salvation for all people.
Gospel: John 12:20-33
Jesus was afraid of the suffering he knew he must face. Yet he
explained just as a grain of wheat must die to be harvested, he
had to face his hour of suffering to glorify his Father’s name.
Jesus explained that once he was lifted from earth, he could
draw all people to himself, lifting them to eternal life.

YOUTH GROUP & ENSEMBLE
EASTER FLOWER SALE
What does it mean to be God’s people? It means we recognize
that everything we have and everything we are belongs to God.
We aren’t “owners” of anything we are merely “stewards” of the
gifts God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts
and our lives to care for our neighbors and the world, just as God
cares for us.
The Youth Group and Youth Ensemble will be having an
Easter Flower Sale the weekend of March 28th & 29th.
They will be selling vouchers for flowers which can then be
purchased at Coia’s Garden Market on E. Oak Road. The
money raised will be used to defray the cost of attending
this year’s State Catholic Youth Rally in May.
