St.
Isidore Parish Lenten Mission Week
February 27 - March 3 2005
Our Lenten Parish Mission this year was
led by Fr. Ed Roden-Lucero, the Pastor of San Juan Diego Parish in El
Paso, TX and a close friend of our Pastor, Fr. Manuel Soria.
Below is the agenda from this year's Mission
along with pictures from our Soup Supper that preceded each evenings presentation.
We averaged 75-85 at dinner each evening, with over 200 attended each
presentation. The Mission provided food for our body and our soul. Thank
you Fr. Ed.

Homily
- The People of God Meet Jesus at the Well: The Samaritan woman who "accidentally"
runs into Jesus at the well. Her life is marked by rejection, instability,
ridicule and separation from God. Hers is not merely a physical thirst.
Jesus recognizes the thirst in her heart and soul and refreshes her. It
is in the same way that Jesus reaches out to us inviting us to find refreshment
for our souls parched by the challenging circumstances of our own lives. |

The Eucharist: Drawing from the Well of Justice |
February 28
Monday - Lunes
7:00 p.m. (English)
|
The
Eucharist - Drawing from the Well of Justice: A scriptural and historical
reflection on the place of the Eucharist in the life of the Church. Mass
is not a private devotion. It is the public worship of the baptized as a
living and active community of faith. As public worship, the celebration
of the Eucharist should motivate the community to put Catholic Social Teaching
into action. The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Do we? |

Healing of Memories: Drawing from the Well of Mercy |
March 1
Tuesday - Martes
7:00 p.m. (English)
|
Healing
of Memories - Drawing from the Well of Mercy: Our lives these days are marked
by war and terror; red states and blue states; broken promises and broken
hearts and, for many, unrelenting feelings of guilt. None of these are characteristics
of the Father's will for our lives. The scriptures reveal a loving and merciful
Lord. The reflection today will turn us to His example to rediscover a model
and source of forgiveness and reconciliation. |

La Familia: Pozo de Amor Incluyendo "Sanacion de Memorias" |
March 2
Wednesday - Miercoles
7:00 p.m. (Español)
|
La
Familia: Sacando del Pozo de Amor y Reconciliación:La
familia debe de ser el lugar en el cual encontramos el amor incondicional
como también aceptación. Aunque así debería
de ser, los matrimonios y las familias son jaladas en miles de direcciones.
El trabajo, la escuela, las finanzas y todo tipo de situaciones y circunstancias
que ponen stress en la vida de un matrimonio y de la familia. Como consecuencia,
nacen todo tipo de problemas; discusiones innecesarias, abuso físico
o verbal, alcoholismo, o el uso intenso del "silencio". Las escrituras
y enseñazas de la Iglesia en las cuales reflexionaremos hay brindaran
alas familias la oportunidad de renovarse y de reconciliarse. |

Homily: Departing from the Well: Mission Impossible III? |
March 3
Thursday - Jueves
7:00 p.m. (Bilingual)
|
Departing
from the Well - Mission Impossible III?: Is there a sequel to Mission Impossible?
Yes! and you're it! A Lenten Mission always leaves us with a few challenges;
a few things to think about. Ultimately this means we each have a mission
in life and it is this: that the mission of the Church is to continue the
Lord's mission of bringing justice and healing to the world. Drawing from
the well of God's grace, we are empowered to do great things for the Kingdom. |
