                      A Message from Father Francis Lasrado
                                   Lent Sunday IV
This weekend is the halfway mark of Lent. This Sunday is known as Laetare Sunday for the
first word of the Introit or Entrance Antiphon laetare (Latin for rejoice); it is a Sunday that
gives us a foretaste of Easter joy. This is also the Second Scrutiny in preparation for the baptism
of adults at the Easter Vigil.
In our Gospel for this weekend we have one of the best known and loved parables of Jesus.
Every time I read or hear it proclaimed I am inspired with insights old and new and I believe
most people have a similar experience; such is the power of this parable. Traditionally it is
known as the parable of the Prodigal Son; some prefer to call it the parable of the Prodigal
Father as they consider the father’s extraordinary love as the focus of the parable. Fr. Andrew
M. Greely called it the Parable of the Crazy Father to highlight the almost ridiculous and
extravagant way the father expresses his love.
As a very young artist, Rembrandt made a woodcut of the Prodigal Son that shows the son in
full face, falling before his father whose face we do not see. The focus is centered on the son.
Later in his life, Rembrandt changed it. Older and mature, he did a painting, the one we are
familiar with: the Return of the Prodigal. We no longer see the face of the son; all we see is his
back. The primary focus is shifted to the father; his face depicts his compassion, gentleness, love
and mercy. Every wrinkle, every line shouts of his love and forgiveness. It is the face of God. To
borrow Greely’s expression, God is crazy about us with regards to his compassion, love & mercy
toward us.
The other two characters, the younger son and the elder one, have important lessons to teach us
as well.
Speaking about Catholic traditions Scott Hahn said, “I am seeing a spiritual awakening across
America and across the world. There is a new generation of Catholics saying, ‘You know what,
the secularization, the materialism, the hedonism, it just leaves you jaded, if not addicted.’” We
may not have many instances of young people going away from the love of the parents the
dramatic way the prodigal son did in the parable. Instead, there are number of typically
modern, subtle ways people today, not just the youth, drift away from God’s love, faith and
religion. The reason is not always disgruntlement and frustration with God and church but their
obsession with self-interest and whatever they feel would give them gratification; quite often it
is power, pleasure, wealth, and honor that entice them and they fall for them and in the process
walk away from the Father’s love and the fellowship of the community of believers, the church.
We often ignore the elder son and his sinister ways which are even more vicious. I would
imagine many of us can identify with him if we honestly analyze our behavior. He feels he
'deserves' his father’s love and attention because he considers himself ‘the good son’ who is
always keeping the rules and doing the right thing. But he is malicious and is angry that his
father welcomes his brother who has wasted not only his share of inheritance but also taken
advantage of his father's love and goodness.
Lent is the time for all to return to the Father’s love: Those who have distanced themselves, to
once again savor the sweetness of being welcomed back into the father’s love. Those who think
they deserve the father’s love, to know they cannot ‘earn’ it but ‘experience’ its expansiveness
deeply and know the joy of being in the company of the one who loves them to death.
Be prodigal like the Father!

up" things such as candy, bad habits, and today, maybe even the           St. Paul’s Lutheran Church

Ministry to Families with Special Needs
           Families who have members with special
           needs or developmental disabilities often
           find it difficult to attend weekly Mass

           pleased to provide an opportunity for
           families to experience and celebrate God’s
           presence in their lives at a special Mass.
 This Mass will be celebrated on the following Saturdays
 (second Saturday of the month) of 2022 at 1:00 PM on
      April 9, May 14, September 10, October 8,
              November 12, December 10
            (No Mass – June, July, August)

                                      begins with little ones entering into first grade and
                                       their parents. This is the first of a two-year First
                                        Holy Communion preparation. We have had a
                                      wonderful year thus far with our families! as they
                                        entered into level one of First Holy Communion
                                          preparation. Recently the children and their
                                      parents came to the Chapel at St. Charles where
                                         they encountered Jesus, Face to face, in the
                                      Eucharist. Deacon Mike read to them the story of
                                      The Road to Emmaus. He then exposed Jesus in
                                     the monstrance and no doubt the children's hearts
burned with excitement and love of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Children wrote and placed their prayers
at Jesus' feet. It was such a beautiful experience for all of us! On a recent Sunday, it was a blessing to see so many of our First Holy
   Communion Level One families at the assigned Mass for their grade level. Students were asked to write a "love letter" to Jesus
                          ahead of time and place it in the offertory basket. Some of what they wrote follows:

                                         Dear Jesus, I love you because you created me. Love, Anthony
                                         Dear Jesus, I love you so much because you love me. Coreliese
                                         I love Jesus because He makes Christmas! Anthony
                                         I love Jesus because He sacrificed Himself for us. Matthew
                                         I love you God for always taking care of everyone. Love, Aryana
                                         Thank you for giving us all the things we need. Love, Roman
                                         Dear Jesus, Thank you for keeping us safe and healthy. Angelyn
                                         I love Jesus because he is a present to this world. Emma
                                         Dear Jesus, I love you because you saved us. Love, Henrik
                                         I love Jesus because he takes care of us and loves us. Jared
                                         Dear Jesus, I love you for always loving me and taking care of me. Matteo
                                         You are in my heart. Jesus protects and keeps me safe. Samantha
                                         Dear Jesus: Thank you for my family and home! I love you for giving
                                         them to me! Love, Sophie
                                         Dear Jesus, I love you so much because I know you will always be there for
                                         me. Olivia

              There is a call within each Catholic man to become the man God made him to
                be. In a world full of challenges, the Knights of Columbus equips men to
               answer that call to lead with faith, serve others, protect our families, and
               promote our values. For more info about becoming a Knight, please email

Council replaced the wooden cross in front of the Church due to the wood showing decay and
repainted the corpus back to its original gold color.
