“Let Your Light Shine” WEEK BY WEEK THROUGH THE YEAR OF MERCY First Sunday of Lent (Readings: Deuteronomy 26:4-10 — Romans 10:8-13 — Luke 4:1-13)

On Ash Wednesday Pope Francis commissioned “Missionaries of Mercy,” priest-confessors sent forth worldwide as “living signs of the Father’s readiness to welcome those in search of [God’s] pardon.” In a way, though, Pope Francis challenges all of us to become “missionaries of mercy” (Misericordiae Vultus, 18) by living Lent in this Jubilee Year of Mercy “more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God’s mercy” (MV, 17). Francis bids us make the prophet Micah’s words our own: “God . . . who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency. You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins” (Micah 7:18, 19). Having experienced God’s mercy ourselves in the unconditional forgiveness of our sins, how eager we should be to invite others to know the peace of God’s boundless mercy; perhaps even to experience, through our reaching out in gentle kindness and compassionate care, something of God’s unconditional love for them.

The second reading from Saint Paul to the Romans is a favorite of those involved in the ministry of evangeliza on. There are no “secret” disciples of the Lord. Those who exercise good stewardship of their faith realize that publicly iden fying themselves as followers of Christ has a cleansing effect on their lives. Openly confessing Christ makes them more conscious of how they live their daily lives. Are we content to priva ze our faith or are we good stewards of a faith that we share, make public, and regularly iden fy as a life in Christ? February 14th, 2016

BLESSED TRINITY ANNOUNCEMENTS RCIA 101 Information for the Parish Community and those looking to become Catholic Book of the Elect: a book that serves as both a record of those elected each year and a symbol of God’s chosen people. Elect: name given to catechumens chosen by God and affirmed by the Church as ready to celebrate baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist at the next Easter Vigil; catechumens who have gone through the Rite of Election or Enrollment Rite on the first Sunday of Lent; the elect are those who are involved in immediate preparation for initiation at the upcoming Easter Vigil. Election: the formal liturgical act of choosing those who have been called by God to celebrate the initiation sacraments; the election is proclaimed by the Bishop of a diocese. Rite of Election: a liturgical rite that takes place at the beginning of Lent which formally names those who will be baptized at the next Easter Vigil. Sponsor: a companion that walks with a catechumen or candidate through the catechumenate process; ideally a ssigned to a catechumen by the parish, in discussion with the catechumen or candidate. Godparent: a person chosen by a catechumen to be a lifelong companion and mentor in the Christian faith; Someone who makes a life-long commitment to be a spiritual mentor to a catechumen who decides to be baptized; can be the same person as the sponsor. The steps the catechumens take on their initiation journey are always public rituals. The first step was the Rite of Acceptance. The second step is the Rite of Election. It is also called the Rite of Enrollment because the catechumens write their names in the book that lists those who will be initiated. The Rite of Sending and The Rite of Election normally takes place on the First Sunday of Lent, and Lent serves as a time of spiritual preparation for the elect. In our diocese, the parish Rite of Sending is celebrated at one of the regular Sunday Masses and the Rite of Election is celebrated that afternoon at the cathedral. As the focal point of the Church’s concern for the catechumens, admission to election belongs to the bishop who is usually its presiding celebrant. It is within the parish community, however, that the preliminary judgment is made concerning the catechumens’ state of formation and progress. This rite offers that local community the opportunity to express its approval of the catechumens and to send them forth to the celebration of election assured of the parish’s care and support.

All are welcome to come Adore HIM!

LENT 2016

Observing Lent 2016 Online Resources — Check out Blessed Trinity’s website blessedtrinityorlando.org for Lenten resources. Resources include FORMED Catholic media on demand. This is a free subscription to Blessed Trinity parishioners which gives you access to movies, e-books, and audio that range in topics of faith, Catholicism, and prayer. It can be accessed on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Also, check out Bishop Robert Barron’s, host of Word on Fire, daily Lenten reflections. Many other resources are available to help you on your Lenten journey this year. Stations of the Cross — Friday’s in Lent at 9:15am The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary. Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church. Observing Lent — Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be taken, but not to equal a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter. More information on Lent can be found at United States Council of Catholic Bishops website at www.usccb.org

Reflexion…. Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Primer Domingo de Cuaresma

Dt 26:4-10/Rom 10:8-13/Lc 4:1-13

El Miércoles de Ceniza el Papa Francisco comisionó a "Misioneros de la Misericordia", sacerdotes confesores que fueron enviados alrededor del mundo como "signos vivos de la prontitud del Padre para dar la bienvenida a quienes buscan el perdón de Dios". En cierta manera, el Papa Francisco desafía a todos nosotros a convertirnos en "misioneros de la misericordia" al vivir esta Cuaresma del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia con "mayor intensidad, como momento fuerte para celebrar y experimentar la misericordia de Dios" (Misericordiae Vultus, 17). El Papa Francisco nos propone hacer nuestras las palabras del profeta Miqueas: "No persistirá en su ira para siempre, porque se complace en la misericordia. Volverá a compadecerse de nosotros, sepultará nuestras culpas" (Miqueas 7:18-19). Ya que nosotros mismos hemos experimentado la misericordia de Dios en el perdón incondicional de nuestros pecados, que tan entusiasmados debemos estar para invitar a todos los demás para conocer de Dios la paz de la misericordia inmensa; más aún por experiencia, a través de nuestro alcance de bondad y cuidado compasivo, algo del amor incondicional de Dios por ellos.

Soporte Nuestras tropas Dos veces al año, el Concilio Católico de Mujeres de La Santísima Trinidad, envían “Galletas a las tropas” Paquetes de Cuidado. El pasado noviembre se enviaron 124 cajas de galletas y otras cosas de uso para nuestras tropas que están sirviendo en combate. ¡Necesitamos su ayuda otra vez! Dona artículos para enviar a las tropas. *Galletas *tarjetas de juego *Palomitas de maíz *Libros de cómicas *Queso curls/Beef Jerky *Paquetes individuales de klenex *Bolsitas de frezar *Paquetes de limpiador de manos *Paquetes pequeños de galletas o maní *Paquetes pequeños de nueces, pretzel *Dulce duro/coma de mascar *paquetes pequeños de crema bronceadora *Sobres de sabor para poner en el agua *protección labial *Tarjetas en blanco *Ayuda económica para el gasto de envió

Estas cosas tan insignificantes que muchos tomamos por dado, son las que pueden hacer a nuestros hombres y mujeres sirviendo en el ejército sentirse más cerca de sus hogares. Si conoces algún soldado que este sirviendo fuera del país, y te gustaría que recibieran un paquete, por favor dar su nombre y dirección a Pat Matteson 407-733-3069 o en la Oficina Parroquial. Por favor pongan donaciones en las cajas rojas o traerlas al Centro de Bienvenida Margadas “Troop Care Packs” para el 3 de marzo. Las cajas serán empacadas el sábado marzo 5 de manera que le lleguen para Easter. ¡Que el Señor los Bendiga y gracias por su apoyo!
