MISSION STATEMENT
“Our parish is a culturally inclusive community brought together by our com-mon faith in Jesus Christ. Our mission is to evangelize, educate and serve,
and to love one another as God loves us.”
Second Sunday of Lent—Overturned Tables in the Temple
In today’s Gospel we read about how Jesus overturned the tables of the merchants and the moneychangers in the Temple at Jerusalem. In order to understand the rele-vance of Jesus’ action, we must learn more about the activities that were going on in the temple area. Worship at the Temple in Jerusalem included animal sacrifice, and merchants sold animals to worshipers. Moneychangers exchanged Roman coins, which bore the image of the Roman emperor, for the temple coins that were needed to pay the temple tax.
Jesus’ action at the Temple in Jerusalem is recorded in all four Gospels and is often understood to be among the events that led to Jesus’ arrest and Crucifixion. The Gos-pel of John, however, places this event much earlier in Jesus’ public ministry than do the Synoptic Gospels. In John’s Gospel this event occurs at the very beginning of Jesus’ ministry, after his first miracle at the wedding feast at Cana.
We must read the Gospel of John carefully, especially in its presentation of Jesus’ relationship to Judaism. The Gospel of John tends to reflect greater tension and ani-mosity between Jesus and the Jewish authorities than the Synoptic Gospels. The Gos-pel of John was the last of the four Gospels to be written, and its narrative reflects the growing divide between the Jewish community and the early Christian community. Thus, greater emphasis on the distinction between Christianity and Judaism is found in John’s Gospel.
Reflecting upon the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem (A.D. 70), John recalls Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple and uses that story to interpret this later event. John explains to his audience, an early Christian community, that temple worship would no longer be necessary because it was surpassed in the passion, death, and Resurrection of Jesus. With greater frequency than the other Evangelists, John intersperses post-Resurrection reflections of this Christian community in his narrative.
After clearing the Temple of the merchants and the moneychangers, John’s Gospel tells us that the people asked for a sign of Jesus’ authority to do such an audacious act. In response, Jesus predicted his death and Resurrection. Throughout John’s Gospel, the language of signs is distinctive. Jesus’ miracles are called signs, and the people look to these signs for proof of his authority. Here we learn that the sign par excellence will be Jesus’ passion, death, and Resurrection.
During Lent we reflect upon the meaning of this sign for us and for our world. We might take this opportunity to consider the quality of our prayer and worship. In our prayers we seek to deepen our relationship with the person of Christ. In our worship with the community, we gather to experience anew the passion, death, and Resurrec-tion of Jesus and its significance in our lives. Christ promises to be present with us when we gather for prayer.

Last Week’s Question: When does Lent end?
Answer: Lent ends when the evening Mass of the
Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday begins, as we move into
the shortest liturgical season, the Holy Triduum of Holy
Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.
This Week’s Question: In 1985, Pope St. John
Paul II created a new archdiocese, giving it responsibility
for more than 1.8 million men, women, and children in 134
countries. What is the name of this archdiocese?
Ask...The Stewards! During Advent, we asked each parish family to prayerfully consid-er making a year-end monetary gift towards the Five Year Repair and Maintenance Plan. To date, the parish has received $98,452. Mahalo to those who contributed! We truly hope to achieve our goal of raising $250,000 this year.
This week key ministry leaders met with two representatives of an-other parish who shared the methodology used in their recent suc-cessful capital campaign.
It is the intent of our parish to develop a similar campaign to raise funds for the Five Year Repair and Maintenance Plan as well as to consolidate our current church debt. The objective is to provide an assured income stream so that maintenance projects can be completed in a timely manner. More information will be forthcoming.
It is our hope that one day in the not too distant fu-ture we can say, "I have finished the race, I have kept the faith", Timothy 4:7, concerning this project.

Liturgical Ministry Corner: Sacristans Have you ever noticed the men or women who are preparing the cups or books before Mass, or
cleaning up after Mass has ended? If so, you have witnessed the ministry of the Sacristans! We are
blessed at St Anthony’s with wonderful Sacristans who are responsible for Mass set-up and clean-up.
Before Mass, they set up for both the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist which
means preparing the books, vessels, offertory, and incense when appropriate. After Mass, the Sacris-
tans assist in purifying the vessels as well as making sure everything is in its proper place. This important ministry is needed at
all of our weekend Masses and on Feast Days, Holy Days, and when there are special Masses for Sacraments.
The ministry of the Sacristans provides a deeper connection to the Mass through preparing of the Sanctuary. Being responsi-
ble for the special implements that make the Eucharistic meal as well as the proclamation of the Word of God and Prayers
possible is both sacred and joyful. It brings you closer to the sacred and strengthens your faith through service.
To serve as a Sacristan you must be a registered parishioner, received the sacrament of confirmation, and wish to serve God
through this beautiful ministry! The time commitment for this ministry is generally a half hour before and about 15 minutes
after Mass. Time may vary depending on the particular Mass and how efficiently the Sacristan works. A training session is pro-
vided for all new Sacristans. If this ministry sounds like a way you would like to serve God’s church, feel free to speak to any of
the Sacristans that serve at our Masses and ask them about their experience. If you have any further questions, please contact
Mark Pillori at [email protected]
Welcoming New Parishioners The Welcoming Committee of St. Anthony’s Parrish would like to invite anyone new to St. Anthony’s to stop by our Welcoming Table on the lanai, Ohana Sunday (4th Sunday of each month) after the 8:30am and 11:30am masses so we can personally welcome you. We would also like to take a picture of you for our New Parishioner’s Bulletin Board. Please stop by, we are looking forward to meeting you!

“We are always capable of going out of ourselves towards the other. Unless we do this, other creatures will not be recognized for their true worth; we are unconcerned about caring for things for the sake of others; we fail to set limits on ourselves in or-der to avoid the suffering of others or the deterioration of our surroundings.
Disinterested concern for others, and the rejection of every form of self-centeredness and self-absorption, are essential if we truly wish to care for our brothers and sisters and for the natural environment. These attitudes also attune us to the moral im-perative of assessing the impact of our every action and personal decision on the world around us.
If we can overcome individualism, we will truly be able to develop a different lifestyle and bring about significant changes in society.” Laudato Si’, 208
Question: Human beings are called to be in community, but we sometimes forget that we succeed and fail together. How can you welcome those who suffer into your community more intentionally? How might you be responsible for the suffering of oth-ers in your community—and in our global human family?
Prayer: God of all people, may we never forget that we are one human family.

ENCOUNTER CESIA
We encounter Cesia in Nicaragua, where, despite a lack of economic opportunity, young people pur-sue their dreams by building businesses to better their lives. How can you work to improve the lives of others this Lent? How can you support those, worldwide, who are forced to flee their homes to find safety or better opportunities?
