A Letter from Fr. Michael!!

Dear Friends,!!

Lent, the forty�day preparation for the Easter feast has begun! May the journey bring new discoveries and a re-newed sense of discipleship. Most of us participated in an Ash Wednesday Mass or service with the intention of receiving the mark of the cross on our foreheads. Likely, the priest, deacon or lay minister said these or similar words, “turn from sin and believe the Good News” or “remember you are dust and to dust you shall return.” Each seems to have its own intent, but both are reality checks on our life journey. !!

If we take the season of Lent seriously, we will heed the words to turn from sin. Let’s be authentic this season and see what is corrosive in life. Have I put wealth and status as a God in my life? Have I made myself God by judging and condemning others? Do I reflect an ideology as my life compass instead of God’s Word? Do I hurt and de-stroy others through gossip and pettiness? How do I live as a missionary disciple bringing the Good News?!!

Even these brief questions can startle most of us … and there lies the beauty of this season of reflection and con-version. Oh yes, I need this Lent to sort through where I need to adjust my course. Ashes are visible on the sur-face, and everyone knows I received them. The chal-lenge is looking inside and opening to the Good News. Maybe more compassion and openness? Maybe more time with a family member? Maybe bringing someone to Mass who needs a ride? Maybe going to a daily Mass? Maybe celebrating Confession? Stations of the Cross? Daily Prayer? Or simply a word of encouragement. And no gossip.!!

Let us work towards an Easter season that raises people to new life � and it will happen if we take the mark of Ash Wednesday with a renewed sense of purpose. We are called to a new life in Christ.!!

Blessings,!Fr. Michael!

Stewardship Trust!!

“A�er John had been arrested, Jesus came

to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God….” !

!!!� M�� 1:14!!

Do you ever think about how difficult it

must have been for Jesus to come into Gali-

lee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching the

same message that Jesus was proclaiming. It must have taken

great love and trust for Jesus to do what the Father had sent

Him here on earth to do. In the same way, following a life of

stewardship takes great love and trust from us. We must be

willing to surrender completely to God, trus$ng that God will

always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.!!

A Message from your Campus Minister,!!

Dear Rowan and Saint Bridget Family,!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!This Friday a group of students will be taking time from their busy lives to retreat. If you are a student and would still like to participate, we have a couple of spots that could still be filled in the next few days. At the retreat, we will intentionally work on two pillars of lent: prayer and fasting. We will pray to God, for and with each other, and for the world. We will explore different ways of prayer, different ways of conversing with God. We will also fast. Most of us have our own fasts, and we will not eat meat on Friday, but we will also abstain from depending on our phones and our usual habits and possessions during this retreat. I encourage all to give this a try during lent. Spend a day or two without using your phone (with an exception for emergencies). The fact that this sounds impossible to most of us gives us even more reason to try it.!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!When we return from the retreat, we will have many opportunities for almsgiving. Recently our students have donated food to the Shop at Rowan, we have explored opportunities to get involved with Good Counsel Homes, and we are starting our planning of our Relay for Life Team. We will also be inviting all parishioners to help us in our fundraising efforts to help with the cost of the retreat. Just as we did in the fall, we will be selling pretzels after each Mass on the weekend after the retreat (March 3rd

!and 4th). All donations welcome and appreciated. We thank you in advance for your continued generosity towards our ministry.!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!Another opportunity for almsgiving in multiple ways, will be a spring break trip organized by the diocese. All Rowan Students are invited to participate, but spots are limited, so please let me know soon if you are interested. Here are the details:!!

“The diocese is preparing to launch a very exciting initiative connected with the!Share the Journey Campaign. Following the desire of youth and young adults (via our diocesan online survey and listening sessions) and Pope Francis’ vision set forth in!The Joy of the Gospel, we are preparing to organize mission trips to the border with Mexico.! The Diocese of Camden’s Catholic Charities in collaboration with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Brownsville, Texas will organize experiences to the border throughout 2018 to give Catholics the opportunity to better understand and explore the Church’s teachings on refugees and migrants.!!!!!

We will have a delegation of approximately 12 people during the week of Spring Break, March 10 � 18, 2016. As of right now, we are looking at students to offer $250 to help participate in the cost of the efforts.! And the mission would be from!Wednesday, March 14 to Sunday, March 18.”!I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.!

!

I’ll see you around campus,!Ivan!

NUESTRA MISION

La Parroquia Universitaria de Santa Brigida en Glassboro está llamada a ser una iglesia viva, !

una comunidad diversa de fe católica!encendida con el amor de Jesucristo; !

apasionado por lo que sucede entre uno y el otro, !perturbado por la injusticia y ansioso por el !

Reino de Dios.!

UNA CARTA DEL PADRE. MIGUEL !Queridos amigos,!!!¡Cuaresma, la preparación de cuarenta días para la fiesta de Pascua ha comenzado! Que el viaje traiga nuevos descubrimientos y un renovado sentido de discipulado. La mayoría de nosotros participaron en una Misa o servicio del Miércoles de Ceniza con la intención de recibir la marca de la cruz en nuestras frentes. Probablemente, el sacerdote, diácono o mi-nistro laico dijo estas palabras similares, "abandona el pecado y cree en las Buena Nueva" o "recuerda que eres polvo y al polvo volverás". Cada uno parece te-ner su propia intención, pero ambas son verificacio-nes de la realidad en nuestro viaje de vida.!!!Si tomamos en serio la temporada de la Cuaresma, escucharemos las palabras para apartarnos del peca-do. Seamos auténticos esta temporada y veamos qué es corrosivo en la vida. ¿He puesto riqueza y estatus como Dios en mi vida? ¿Me he hecho Dios al juzgar y condenar a los demás? ¿Reflejo una ideología como mi brújula de vida en lugar de la Palabra de Dios? ¿Herí y destruí a otros a través del chisme y la mez-quindad? ¿Cómo vivo como un discípulo misionero trayendo las Buena Nueva?!!!Incluso estas breves preguntas pueden asustar a la mayoría de nosotros ... y ahí radica la belleza de esta temporada de reflexión y conversión. Oh, sí, necesito esta Cuaresma para ordenar dónde tengo que ajustar mi curso. Las cenizas son visibles en la superficie, y todos saben que las recibí. El desafío es mirar dentro y abrirse a las Buena Nueva. Tal vez más compasión y apertura? Tal vez más tiempo con un miembro de la familia? ¿Tal vez traer a alguien a la misa que necesi-ta un aventón? Tal vez ir a una misa diaria? Tal vez celebrar la confesión? ¿Estaciones de la Cruz? Ora-ción diaria? O simplemente una palabra de aliento. Y sin chismes.!!!Trabajemos hacia un tiempo de Pascua que eleve a las personas a una nueva vida, y sucederá si toma-mos la marca del Miércoles de Ceniza con un renova-do sentido de propósito. Somos llamados a una nue-va vida en Cristo.!!!Bendiciones,!!P. Miguel!

MAYORDOMOS!"Después de que Juan había sido arrestado, Jesús vino a Galilea proclamando el evangelio de Dios..." ! MARCOS 1:14 ¿Alguna vez pensaste en lo difícil que debe haber sido para Jesús entrar a Galilea, sabiendo que Juan acababa de ser arrestado por enseñar el mismo mensaje que Jesús estaba pro-clamando? A Jesús le debe haber requerido gran amor y confianza para hacer lo que el Padre le ha-bía enviado a hacer aquí en la tierra. De la misma manera, seguir una vida de corresponsabilidad re-quiere gran amor y confianza. Debemos estar dis-

puestos a rendirnos por completo a Dios, confiando en que Dios siempre nos dará todo lo que necesita-

mos para cumplir Su plan para nosotros.��

PALABRA DE LA VIDA !“Muchos padres quieren hijos perfectos. Nuestra cultura está obsesionada con la perfección, una perfección superficial. Se retocan las fotos, y las

redes sociales describen vidas supuestamente per-fectas. Dios también nos llama a buscar la perfec-ción. Sin embargo, no nos llama a la perfección de la apariencia o de la capacidad, sino a la perfección en el amor”. Secretariado de Actividades Pro!Vida de la USCCB “Un regalo perfecto”, www.bit.ly/un!

peto compasivo por toda vida humana; roguemos al Señor:�
