Jesus invites his disciples into a great mystery with curious pronouncements: Those who love their lives just as they will lose them. If a grain of wheat dies, it will bear much fruit. When Jesus is lifted up, he will draw all to himself. The Christian steward knows life can t be lived in complacency. We are call to die to self, bear more fruit, be raised up with Jesus. In today s Gospel reading Jesus brings discomfort to those who are comfortable. How would we respond to Jesus? That out of love for their children, all Catholic parents will learn and pass on the teachings of our faith on the sanctity of life, sexuality, and marriage; We pray to the Lord. El evento culminante de la pasión y muerte de Jesús se acerca, el momento de una gran confrontación entre Jesús y los poderes de la obscuridad toma lugar. Jesús invita a sus discípulos a un gran misterio con una declaración inquisitiva: Aquellos de ustedes que amen su vida tal como es, la perderán. Si un grano de trigo muere, producirá más fruto. Cuando Jesús sea elevado, el atraerá a todos hacia él. El corresponsable cristiano sabe que la vida no puede ser vivida en complacencia. Nosotros somos llamados a morir a nuestro amor propio, a producir más fruto, a resucitar con Jesús. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús trae incomodidad a aquellos que están cómodos. Cómo responderemos a Jesús? INTERCESSIONS FOR LIFE/INTERCESIONES POR LA VIDA PINE STRAW FOR SALE Que por el amor que tienen por sus hijos, todos los padres católicos aprendan y transmitan las enseñanzas de nuestra fe sobre la santidad de la vida, la sexualidad y el matrimonio; Roguemos al Señor. The Columbian Squires will be selling pine straw this weekend after Mass. The pine straw bales will be delivered on Saturday, 31, 2012. There is an extra charge if you request the pine straw to be spread. If you have any questions, you may contact Marco Canducci at 770-947-0623.

NEXT WEEKEND S SECOND COLLECTION/SEGUNDA COLECTA DEL PRÓXIMO FIN DE SEMANA The daily news reminds us of the violence and instability plaguing the Middle East, but we rarely hear of the shrinking Christian community there, a community that struggles to remain in the land of Christ s birth, death and resurrection. Please help support our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land next Sunday by giving to the Palm Sunday Collection. This Pontifical Collection allows the Franciscans and others to continue caring for Christianity s holiest sites and for God s people in the Holy Land. Please be generous in your support. Las noticias diarias nos recuerdan de la violencia y la inestabilidad que atormenta al Medio Oriente, pero nosotros raramente escuchamos de la disminuyente comunidad Cristiana que se encuentra allá, una comunidad que lucha por permanecer en la tierra del nacimiento, muerte y resurrección de Cristo. El próximo Domingo por favor ayude a nuestros hermanos y hermanas en la Tierra Santa haciendo una donación a la colecta del Domingo de Ramos. Esta colecta pontifical permite que los Franciscanos y otros continúen trabajando por los cristianos en los lugares más Santos y por el pueblo de Dios en la Tierra Santa. Por Favor sea generoso con su ayuda.
