Sunday Collection – March 19: Meadow Lake $903.00 Green Lake – $400.00 The Pope’s Prayer Intention for March – For victims of abuse – We pray for those who have suffered harm from members of the Church; may they find within the Church herself a concrete response to their pain and suffering. The Pope’s Prayer Intention for April – For a culture of peace and non-violence – We pray for the spread of peace and non-violence, by decreasing the use of weapons by States and citizens. 40 Cans for Lent Project – Once again this year we are asking everyone to donate one can of food per day for the 40 days of Lent. This project has marked our Lenten practice for a number of years. We have donated thousands of pounds of food to the Door of Hope. Just before Easter the food will be taken to the Door of Hope. Help us make a difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters here in Meadow Lake who struggle to feed their families. Please feel free to bring your non-perishable food to the Parish Church at mass times or to the Parish Office during Office Hours. Many thanks for your generosity. The Way of the Cross – Please join us on Friday evenings for the Way of the Cross. In Meadow Lake we will gather at 6:30 pm in the Church and in Green Lake we will gather at 7:00, to pray with Jesus as he makes his way to Calvary. As we pray, let us offer to God our own suffering. Taize Evenings – Join us on Tuesday evenings for 45 minutes of Taize prayer and reflection. Our prayer begins this week, March 28th after the 6:30 pm mass. Knights of Columbus BINGO – Thank you to everyone who came out to support the bingo. Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) – Through their prayer, fasting and almsgiving during Lent, Christians express their desire to turn toward God and to all God’s children in preparation for Easter. The Bishops of Canada have reserved the Season of Lent for a collection to assist the Global South. Normally this collection is held on the Fifth Sunday of Lent. Founded and mandated in 1967 by the Bishops of Canada, and now a member of the Caritas International network of Catholic agencies, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace financially supports development and aid projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as informs Canadian Catholics on international social justice questions. “So many people even today hope to have enough to eat. The planet has food for all, but the will to share with everyone seems to be lacking. To prepare the table for all, and to ask that there be one table for all. Doing whatever we can so that everyone has food, but also reminding the world’s powerful that God will call them to be judged one day, and it will be demonstrated whether they have truly tried to provide food for Him in each person (cf. Mt 25:35) and whether they have acted in order that the environment would not be destroyed but would be able to produce this food.” - Pope Francis, Homily during the mass at the opening of the 2015 General Assembly of Caritas Internationalis Taken from Liturgical Calendar page 183 Development and Peace symbols – This Sunday at the beginning of our liturgy we will present 4 symbols and they will be placed before the ambo. They will help us appreciate the theme of our Share Lent campaign – Create Hope – Stand for the Land. The symbols remind us of our belonging to a Universal Church and our responsibility to care for our brothers and sisters and our earth! Symbol 1 – A bowl filled with earth – represents the wealth of Mother Earth and the soil upon which depend the territories that give us shelter, life and hope. Symbol 2 – A plant – represents our hope that justice will take root. Symbol 3 – A microphone – represents the work of communicating – speaking and listening – to marginalized people to inform them of their rights and to document their experiences. Symbol 4 – A box and a ballot – represents the importance for peace and democracy of making our voices heard and respecting communities. The Chrism Mass - April 4 at 6:30pm Bishop Stephen will celebrate the Chrism mass. At this liturgy, priests reaffirm their commitment to serve the Lord, the Bishop, and the People of God. At this liturgy the Bishop blesses the oils that will be used to help us celebrate Baptism, Confirmation, the Ordination of priests and the Anointing of the Sick. If you would like to take part in this liturgy, please be in touch with Fr. Doug. All are welcome to take part in this liturgy at the Cathedral in Prince Albert. Large Print Bibles – Fr. Doug purchased several large print New Revised Standard Catholic Bibles. They are available at the parish office for $50.00 per Bible. Enjoy reading your Bible! Scripture Insights – 5th Sunday of Lent Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2023: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2022, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 138. In today’s first reading, the prophet Ezekiel delivers God’s words to his covenant people, using a graphic metaphor to illustrate God’s desire and power to give them life. The graves of the dead will be opened and the dead will rise up. Furthermore, all those in exile will be brought safely home. By these acts the people will know that their God has power over life and death. The psalmist intertwines a plea for redemption with an affirmation of trust in the Lord’s mercy. The psalm’s penitential tone makes it particularly fitting for Lent. What might “the depths” mean (Ps 130:1)? That vagueness allows the psalm to fit the needs of any person, for at times any of us might feel helpless and overwhelmed – wanting to cry out. Can we join in the psalmist’s trust in the compassion of the Lord? For Paul, the human body is a temple of the Lord, a positive image. It is also fragile and susceptible to the opposite of the spirit, a negative image. When Paul uses the word “flesh”, he doesn’t mean literally our physical bodies. Rather, by “flesh” he means that aspect of human nature that is subject to sinfulness and corruptibility. But the life of the spirit has been given to all who believe in the risen Lord. In fact, ii is through the resurrection of the Lord that a new spiritual life is even possible. John’s story of the raising of Lazarus offers us hope and consolation in the face of death. The grief of Jesus, Martha, and Mary shows us that the Lord understands and shares in our human grief at the death of our loved ones. At the same time, Jesus teaches that, through the power his Father has given him, he has power over death. Ultimately, he will teach us through his own death and resurrection that we can trust in the promise of eternal life.
Notes from our Deanery Meeting – On Thursday, March 23 the priests from Deanery 6 met in Paradise Hill with our Lay Representatives, Kevin and Patsy Salzl from Paradise Hill. We began by sharing what had been happening in our lives and then we moved on to talk about what was happening in our respective parishes. We noted that Fr. Frederick Akha is celebrating his 25th anniversary of priesthood with a celebration on June 25th in Paradise Hill and Fr. Doug is celebrating his 40th anniversary in Meadow Lake. We shared information about our Penitential Services in preparation for Easter. We also talked briefly about the way we prepare our people for sacramental celebrations and the challenge of catechesis – preparing our young people and our adults for taking up their duties as Catholics. Many people want the celebration of the sacrament but are reluctant to do catechesis or to be involved in the life of the local Church. We will spend more time on this at our next meeting. A significant amount of time was spent talking about the Synod. On April 29th the clergy and people from Deaneries 4, 5 and 6 will gather in Edam to talk about our Diocesan Synod Report. If you remember each Cluster of parishes was invited to choose one of the six priorities that surfaced during the Synod and we were invited to work towards implementing the choice in our faith communities. If you look back in your bulletin you will remember that we chose “Listening to the Holy Spirit.” We committed ourselves to learning how to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and how to discern our path forward. We also committed ourselves to “Responding to the Call of Service.” We committed ourselves to placing greater emphasis in our parish to reaching out to those in need in our faith community and beyond. It is my hope that a number of us will take part in this meeting and share what we have done and continue to do to make these priorities real in our communities. The day begins at 9:00 am with registration, prayer at 9:30 followed by our morning session. The day includes lunch and ends at 3:00 pm. We also planned our upcoming meetings and their locations. We concluded with a great but very late lunch prepared by Kevin and Patsy and then said our farewells.

Thank you for helping us build a world of justice.

Scripture Insights – 4th Sunday of Lent Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2023: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2022, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 130. In today’s first reading, David, the youngest son of Jesse, seems an unlikely choice for a king as opposed to all his mature, highly qualified brothers. At least he seems unlikely by human standards. But God knows best how to make decisions for the well-being of the Chosen People. Clearly God’s ways are not ours. What’s more, not by chance is David a shepherd! Many centuries later, Jesus too will call himself a shepherd, demonstrating that his mission is grounded in tenderness and compassion. The much beloved Psalm 23 is a fitting prayer-hymn for today. Although God is described as “my shepherd” (Ps 23:1), making the psalm a personal prayer, the task of the shepherd, and of Jesus himself, is to take care of the whole flock, the entire people of God. The Lord is portrayed as one who tenderly cares for the sheep, feeding and protecting them all the days of their lives. In his Letter to the Ephesians, Paul uses the theme of darkness and light to draw a contrast between a life that is “pleasing to the Lord” and a life of “fruitless works of darkness” (Eph 5: 10 – 11). Paul tells the believers that the light that enables them to live in goodness and truth comes from the Lord. This reading prepares us to hear the healing story of the man born blind, which also contrasts the darkness of unbelief with the light of knowing and believing in the Son of Man. Just as, in last Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus relieved the woman’s thirst with living water, today he gives the man born blind his sight – and the light of faith. In these stories (and also in next week’s story), God works through Jesus to transform the human condition, bringing healing for body and spirit. Many witness his works – the crowds and the religious leaders – but not all come to faith.
Lent and Abstinence and Fasting – In the Liturgical Calendar published by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops we read the following from page 54: “b) Fridays are days of abstinence from meat, but Catholics may substitute special acts of charity or piety on this day. c) Lent has a penitential character. During Lent, penance is an important requirement of Christian Life. Fulfillment of this duty involves prayer, works of piety and charity, and self-denial by fulfilling one’s obligations more faithfully and especially by observing the prescribed fast and abstinence. d) Ash Wednesday and Good Friday in the Roman Rite, including Canada, are days of fasting and abstinence from meat. Pastors should invite and encourage their people to do special penance these two days. e) The Paschal Fast is observed on Good Friday and, where possible continued through Holy Saturday. f) Privileged forms of Penance are recommended, especially during Lent. These forms are privileged because they are based on the teaching of the Gospels (fasting, almsgiving, prayer, works of mercy) or because of their traditional value among the people of God (abstinence from meat). Christian fasting obtains its full meaning when we deprive ourselves of food in order to be more open to prayer, to share more in the suffering of those who are starving and to save money to give to the poor. Fasting is a penitential discipline intended to open our hearts to God and others, a means of purification and spiritual liberation, a witness of the depth of our faith. The law of abstinence from meat binds those who are 14 and older; the law of fasting binds those from 18-59 years of age. Parents and educators are reminded of their duty to introduce children gradually to the understanding and practice of penance. The actions modeled by adults will be the greatest influence in this matter. g) Parish committees should assist the Pastor to help make Christian Penance a reality in the life of their community. “ Season of Lent (Taken from the Liturgical Calendar prepared by the Bishops of Canada page 155) “The highest point in the Church’s year is the Sacred Paschal Triduum celebrating the dying and rising of the Lord Jesus. We prepare for this three-day period during the season of Lent and prolong it for the great 50 days of the Easter season.” The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes prior to the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. The Easter Triduum which begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday concludes with evening prayer on Easter Sunday. It is referred to as the Great Three Days or the Easter Triduum – running from sundown on Thursday to sundown on Easter Sunday – hence three days. Since 1969, The Great Three days are seen as a liturgical season in themselves. The early church recommended that prior to the Resurrection (Easter Sunday) the People of God should have 40 days of fasting. When calculating this Paschal Fast we now begin with Ash Wednesday and we conclude with the beginning of the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. Since Sunday is the day when we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord we NEVER fast or abstain from meat on Sunday. What is also noteworthy is that we do not fast or abstain from meat when we are celebrating solemnities like the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary (March 19) and the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord (March 25), both celebrations fall within the season of Lent. So what does that mean for the 40 days of Lent or the 40 days of Fasting? From Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday is 46 days inclusive. Take away the 6 Sundays and you end up with 40 days of fasting. Practically speaking however, the season of Lent is not 40 days and practically speaking we do not have 40 days of fasting because of the Sundays and Solemnities. We can and we ought to maintain the discipline of fasting and abstinence beginning on Ash Wednesday except for the Solemnities and Sundays. As the bishops suggest, we ought to practice fasting and abstinence on Good Friday and Holy Saturday IF we are able. If we are not able, then we ought to engage in some other form of penance (charity or piety) during these holy days of preparation. As is the case in all our Christian life, we do the best that we can. Should we fast throughout the Lenten season? Yes, if we can! Should we fast and abstain from meat on Good Friday and Holy Saturday? Yes, if we can! We fast to be more open to prayer, to share in the suffering of others and to save money which we then give to the poor! We encourage each other to the best of our ability. When we do this we set a good example for one another so that our parish community is known as a community that takes seriously our preparation for the celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection. In doing this we become more like Christ. DIOCESAN NEWS & BEYOND Rosary and Reflection – Once a month, from 6:30 pm – 7:45 pm, with Bishop Stephen.
