Bienvenido a la Cuaresma para la gloria de Dios a través de su Hijo

Estamos dejando el tiempo ordinario en la Iglesia en colores verdes y ahora nos sumergimos en la Cuaresma en los colores violeta o morado. Este es un momento hermoso en la iglesia mientras celebramos su muerte y resurrección. Sí, es una celebración!

En la primera lectura del libro de Génesis, “El Señor Dios formó al hombre del barro de la tierra y sopló en su nariz el aliento de vida, y así el hombre se convirtió en un ser vivo. Entonces el Señor Dios, plantó un jardín en el Edén, en el este, y colocó allí al hombre que había formado. De la tierra, el Señor Dios hizo crecer varios árboles que eran deliciosos de ver y buenos para comer, con el árbol de la vida en el medio del jardín y el árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal ".

Desde el mal vemos que el diablo se le apareció a Jesús en su momento de debilidad por tener hambre y crear el universo y tentarlo tres veces. ¿No te suena familiar? Cuando somos débiles, él hace su mejor trabajo. Es por la constante fe y oración que venimos mal.

Hizo TODAS las cosas buenas, lo que significa que nos hizo BUENOS. Si recordamos por el bien que colocó en nosotros, también colocó en nosotros su propio Espíritu, que es Amor. ¿Cómo podemos fortalecer su Espíritu y amor dentro de nosotros? Nuestra iglesia ofrece algunas oportunidades para construir nuestra espiritualidad durante esta temporada de Cuaresma.

• Adoración y bendición del Santísimo Sacramento los viernes de 9:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. Tiempo tranquilo con el Santísimo Sacramento y un tiempo para simplemente sentarse sin toda la distracción y simplemente rezar y escuchar.

• Estaciones de la Cruz los viernes a las 7:00 pm en Swedesboro. El 6 de marzo y el 3 de abril a las 6:30 p.m. Un tiempo para unirnos y caminar los pasos de Jesús hacia el Calvario. Solo toma una hora, ven a las estaciones, luego ve a comer algo a nuestro Fish Fry el 27 de marzo. Las líneas serán más cortas.

• Una noche de reflexión el 28 de marzo donde escucharemos reflexiones para las lecturas de las Escrituras y un tiempo de oración antes del Santísimo Sacramento.

• Procesión y Viacrucis en Viernes Santo a partir de la 1:00 pm en Swedesboro.

Recuerdo que presté cuando era un niño cuando la iglesia estaba llena de personas en estas ocasiones. ¿Podemos llenar la iglesia nuevamente en 2020? Yo digo ¡SÍ PODEMOS! ¿PODEMOS?

Nos vemos allí,

Deacon Joe

First Sunday of Lent March 1st, 2020

[ 3 ] SAINT CLARE of ASSISI PARISH

Welcome to Lent to the glory of God through His Son

We are leaving ordinary time in the Church in green colors and now we immerse ourselves into Lent to the violet or purple colors. This is a beautiful time in the church as we celebrate his death and resurrection. Yes, it is a celebration!

In The first reading from the book of Genesis “The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being. Then the LORD God, planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and placed there the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the LORD God made various trees grow that were delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

From the evil we see that the devil appeared to Jesus at his weak moment from his being hungry and creating the universe and tempting him three times. Doesn’t this sound familiar? When we are weak he does his best work. It is by the constant faith and prayer that we over come evil.

He made ALL things good that means he made us GOOD. If we remember by the good he placed in us he also placed in us his own Spirit, which is Love. How can we fortify his Spirit and love within us? Our church offers a few opportunities to build our spirituality during this Lenten season.

• Adoration and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament on Fridays from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. Quiet time spent with the Blessed Sacrament and a time to just sit without all the distraction and just pray and listen.

• Stations of the Cross on Fridays at 7:00 pm in Swedesboro. On March 6th and April 3rd at 6:30 pm. A time to come together and walk Jesus’ steps to Calvary. It only takes an hour, come to stations, then go get something to eat at our Fish Fry on March 27th. The lines will be shorter.

• An evening of reflection on March 28 where we will listen to reflections for scripture readings and a prayerful time before the Blessed Sacrament.

• Outdoor stations of the cross of Good Friday starting at 1:00 pm in Swedesboro.

I remember lent when I was a young child where the church was packed on these occasions. Can we pack the church again in 2020? I say YES WE CAN!!. CAN WE?

See you there,

Deacon Joe

Stewardship Service

“It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.” Matthew 4:10

Tempted between the riches and power of this world and service to God, Jesus chose service to His

Father. If we wish to truly follow Jesus, we, as Christian Stewards, must decide to turn away from worldly power and riches and put God at the center of our lives. Lent is our time to prune ourselves of

earthly things. Ask God how he is calling you to serve

"Está escrito: Adorarás al Señor, tu Dios, y solo a Él servirás". MATEO 4:10

Tentado entre las riquezas y el poder de este mundo y el servicio a Dios, Jesús eligió el servicio a su Padre.

Si deseamos seguir verdaderamente a Jesús, nosotros también debemos decidir apartarnos del

poder y las riquezas del mundo y poner a Dios en el centro de nuestras vidas. Cuaresma es nuestro tiempo para liberarnos de las cosas terrenales.

Pregúntale a Dios cómo te está llamando a servir.

2020 APPEAL: “WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?”

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest

commandment. And, the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two

commandments.”

These words of Jesus remind us to love and support our neigh-bors in their time of need. Through the House of Charity Bish-

op’s Annual Appeal, we strive to do that throughout the six counties of the Diocese of Camden.

Your generosity provides services through Catholic Charities offices in each county of South Jersey. In addition, Home and Parish Healthcare Services of the Diocese of Camden brings new life and spirit into the hearts of those we cherish the most – our elderly and disabled, along with their fami-lies and caregivers. Together, we offer support to the weak, vulnerable, and disenfranchised.

Now we invite all parishioners to participate in this important effort. During House of

Charity Appeal Weekend, please make your sacrificial gift to help continue the mission of the Church here in the Diocese of Camden!

Our House of Charity 2020 Campaign has started,

please included St. Clare Parish

in your contributions to this campaign

¿Quién es mi Prójimo?"

"Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente". Este es el primer y más grande mandamiento. Y el segundo es similar: "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo". Toda la

Ley y los Profetas dependen de estos dos mandamientos ".

Estas palabras de Jesús nos recuerdan que debemos amar y apoyar a nuestro prójimo en su momento de necesidad. La

Casa de la Caridad - La Campaña Anual del Obispo se esfuerza por lograr eso al ayudar a los pobres en los seis condados de

la Diócesis de Camden.

Ahora invitamos a todos los feligreses a participar en este impor-tante esfuerzo. ¡Durante el fin de semana de la

Campaña de la Casa de Caridad, por favor haga el sacrificio de su donativo para ayudar a continuar con la misión de la Iglesia aquí en la Diócesis de

Camden!

Our Parish Facilities Committee can use your help. Let us see how we can reduce the financial facility upkeep and upgrade burden of our parish from within.

Community Connections

Loving someone struggling with

addiction can be very difficult,

painful, and chaotic. A community support group can

help by offering peer support for anyone affected by

drug addiction – individuals and/or family members.

Join us on Saturday mornings at 9:30am at The Church

of Incarnation, 240 Main Street, Mantua, NJ. All

are welcome to attend. For more information, call Bill

Dougherty 609-617-9959.

Our Bereavement Ministry gives support to

families who are going through the lost of a love

one, assisting families with the preparation for

funeral liturgies.

Our ministers offer the opportunity to follow up

during the first year after a death, including the

annual November Mass of Remembrance.

Given the number of funerals celebrated

annually in the parish, we would like to increase

our number of ministers , so that each minister

or ministry team would normally only meet with

one family per month.

Training is offered by the parish, and by the

diocesan Family Life Office. Our current

bereavement ministers can serve as mentors for

those who wish to serve. Some of our

bereavement ministers serve individually;

others as teams. If you are interested in

volunteering , please contact Gina Stebbins at

St. Clare Triduum Choir

Would you like to sing for Triduum ?

We are calling all our parishioners

to participate in Triduum Choir!

This is a great opportunity to

volunteer Triduum is a word that we hear at this time of the Church year. It is the little - but tremendously important - season between Lent and Easter. It begins on Holy Thursday evening and ends on Easter Sunday.

Triduum is an opportunity here at Saint Clare for all of the diverse music ministries to gather as one for the very important celebrations of Triduum.

Beyond this, we would like to offer the opportunity for any parishioner who would like to sing for Triduum to participate in Triduum Choir.

* For those in confirmation preparation, or those who have service requirements to fulfill for school or other organizations, rehearsal time and ceremony time will pro-vide multiple hours toward those requirements.

* For those who like to sing but are unable to commit long-term to choir membership, this would be a short term commitment that could be one of your special gifts to God and the church for Lent.

* for those who would like to learn more about Catholic faith and practices, participation in Triduum Choir allows you to learn more about the meaning of the sacred celebrations on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.

Rehearsals for Triduum Choir will be offered at 7 PM on Mondays in Church in Swedesboro beginning on March 2; and on Thursday evenings at 7 PM in church in Gibbstown

beginning on March 5.

The liturgies of Triduum all take place in Gibbstown. The final rehearsal will take place on Monday of holy week at 7 PM in Saint Michaels Church. For questions or more information, contact Steve Obarski 856-236-6918 ([email protected]).
