Fourth Sunday of LentA READING FROM THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLESIn those days, all the princes of Judah, the priests, and the people added infi delity to infi delity, practicing all the abominations of the nations and polluting the LORD’s temple which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.

Early and oft en did the LORD, the God of their fathers, send his messengers to them, for he had compassion on his people and his dwelling place.But they mocked the messengers of God, despised his warnings, and scoff ed at his prophets, until the anger of the LORD against his people was so infl amed that there was no remedy.Th eir enemies burnt the house of God,tore down the walls of Jerusalem, set all its palaces afi re, and destroyed all its precious objects.Th ose who escaped the sword were carried captive to Babylon, where they became servants of the king of the Chaldeans and his sonsuntil the kingdom of the Persians came to power.All this was to fulfi ll the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah: “Until the land has retrieved its lost sabbaths, during all the time it lies waste it shall have rest while seventy years are fulfi lled.”

In the fi rst year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order to fulfi ll the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD inspired King Cyrus of Persia to issue this proclamation throughout his kingdom, both by word of mouth and in writing: “Th us says Cyrus, king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earththe LORD, the God of heaven, has given to me, and he has also charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.Whoever, therefore, among you belongs to any part of his people, let him go up, and may his God be with him!”

Th e word of the Lord . . . Th anks be to God

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you!

A READING FROM THE LETTER OF ST. PAUL TO THE EPHESIANSBrothers and sisters:God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ — by grace you have been saved —, raised us up with him,

and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast.For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance,that we should live in them.

Th e word of the Lord . . . Th anks be to God

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHNJesus said to Nicodemus:“Just as Moses lift ed up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lift ed up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.And this is the verdict,that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light,because their works were evil.For everyone who does wicked things hates the lightand does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed.But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

Th e Gospel of the Lord . . . Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

Saturdays before and aft er the 4pm Mass -

starting at 3pm and ending at 530pm.

Holy Week Confessions

are Monday, March 30th from 4-8pm

in all parishes of the Archdiocese of New York

Friday, April 3rd from 6-8pm

1. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve. Let God be God and let stuff be stuff . What has a real hold on your heart and mind? Money, stuff ,

home, activities, sports, fi tness, myself, or even friends or family before Him is foolish.2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Is my language pure? Do I drop the Lord’s name more in frustration than in prayer? Do I curse?3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day. Is Sunday (Saturday evening) the time for Mass? Do I miss Mass intentionally? If I’ve intentionally

said, “I’m not or we’re not going this week” without good reason, do we refrain from Communion? Do I take time to actually rest? Do I make other people work on that day?

4. Honor your father and your mother. Do I harbor hatred toward them? Have I not prayed for them? Have I been willing to forgive them?

Have I asked forgiveness from them? Parents, have you honored the name of your role by providing for your children, spiritually and materially? Have your prevented your children from their vocation?

5. You shall not kill. Th is one looks obvious enough but it also covers things like the killing of innocent human life in the

womb, or even encouraging it with a friend or someone you’ve spoken to or supported. It also covers abuse situations, have you harmed (physically, emotionally, spiritually) your wife, kids, or husband? Do you get drunk intentionally or use illegal drugs?

6. You shall not commit adultery. Be faithful to God and your spouse. Have I betrayed anyone? Is my union a blessed and sanctifi ed one

by God or simply the state? Have I taken steps to rectify it if possible?7. You shall not steal. Again, not just for bank robbers . . . do I pay my taxes properly? Do I slack off at work? If I employ

folks, do I make unreasonable demands, extra hours, work on Sundays when unnecessary?8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. “Everything that you say must be true . . . not everything that is true needs to be said.” A great maxim

from a wise priest. Do I lie? Do I create stories? Do I betray confi dences? Do I use social media to tear people apart? Am I always playing the victim, poor me, I have been wronged, off ended?

9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Th oughts, if consented to, are sins! If someone could read my mind, would I be worried? If someone

uploaded my internet search history to the Orange County Post, would I be okay with that? Do I keep custody or avoid opportunities for lust?

10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods. Am I always on the hunt for more? Prestige? Infl uence? Jobs? Control?
