HOLY
HOUR FOR PRIESTS
Every Tuesday the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m. It is an hour of prayer for the priests, DIVINE MERCY and religious men and women of the church. Prayers are also said for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests. The Holy Hour closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. If you cannot join us in church, we ask you to join us from a quiet spot in your home and pray with us, asking the Lord to guide and protect our priests.
Stations of the CrossDuring the Lenten Season, there will be Stations of the Cross in Church on Fridays at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. , ending April 11th.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Place pecans in Ziploc bag and let kids beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read: John 19:1-3. Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.
Let each child smell the vinegar. Add teaspoon of vinegar into the mixing bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross He was given vinegar to drink. Read John 19:28-30...Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said," It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers, and the bitterness of our own sins. Read Luke 23:27 A large number of people followed Him, including women who mourned and wailed for Him.
So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup of sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him. Read Psalm 34:8--Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him and John 3:16--"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Beat
with a mixer on high speed for 12-15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed.
Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those
whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isaiah 1:18--"Come now,
let us reason together," says the Lord. "Though your sins are
like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as
crimson, they shall be like wool." And John 3:1-3 Now there was a man
of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council.
He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher
who has come from God, for no one could perform the miraculous signs you
are doing if God were not with him." In reply Jesus declared, "I
tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born
again."
Fold
in broken nuts.
Line
cookie sheet with waxed paper. Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.
Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was
laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60 As evening approached, there came a rich man
from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be
given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean linen cloth, and
placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of rock. He rolled a big
stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.
Place the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.
Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that
Jesus' tomb was sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66 "Take a guard,"
Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how."
So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and
posting a guard.
On Easter morning, open the oven and remove the cookies. Take a bite. Notice the cookies are hollow!
On the first Easter Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty.
Read Matthew 28:1-9 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples: "He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him. Now I have told you." So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell His disciples. Suddenly Jesus

Good
Friday Collection for the Holy Places
Your
help is needed now, as in the days of St. Francis, to protect the Holy
Places of the Holy Land. Even
more important, we need your help to protect the Holy Name of Our Lord
in this troubled land which He chose for His birth, sacrificial death
and victorious resurrection. Your
gift will give life to some and hope to others, lighting candles of
faith in darkened shrines and lives.
Even becoming the very bread and wine of our daily Eucharist. The
Holy Land Collection will be made on Good Friday, April 18th. |

displayed. If you wish to have your
loved ones listed, kindly drop off your flower
envelope by April 13th.

Saint
Anne’s 100th Anniversary News Update “We
are a collection of all our years, our stories, our glories, our
troubles and tears. Tales of
a Century live in our eyes...We are a hundred years wise.” So
many extraordinary things
have happened here at St. Anne’s over the past century...so many
Sacraments received...so many celebrations...so many blessings bestowed
on our parishioners - past and present. DO
YOU HAVE A MEMORY TO SHARE? One
parishioner who graduated in the 50’s from St. Anne’s School wrote
Father Vic a great letter recalling memories from that era. DO
YOU HAVE A PHOTO TO SHARE? Two
of our parishioners (sisters who graduated from St. Anne’s in the
30’s) spent an afternoon looking through old albums, searching for
special photos. They sent
two wonderful pictures...one sent her First Communion picture, one sent
her Graduation picture. All
of this memorabilia will be displayed during the Centennial Year (2004)
on the special St. Anne’s Wall, or possibly be included in the History
of our Parish, which is currently being written.
Remember that we are looking for recent pictures, as
well as those from years ago. Pictures
can be left at the rectory. Please
remember to address them to the Centennial Committee and if you wish
originals to be returned to you, indicate that as well. How
is the Centennial Fund doing? Check
the bulletin board in the church vestibule. “Let us pray that the Faith we share will continue to grow.” |
