Confessions
Saturday, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Monday, 6:00 PM-7:00 PM
in the parking lot to the side of the rectory.
I will hear confessions in my car - a green Toyota Camry. I will park near the entrance of the basement chapel. I will leave the passenger window open. Drive up about a foot or so away. Confess and go. I won't be looking, for those who do not go face to face. We will give the drive through model a try!

Cancelled if raining!

Today's Readings
- Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Lent
  
  Reading 1 Nm 21:4-9
  Responsorial Psalm 102:2-3, 16-18, 19-21
  Gospel Jn 8:21-30
Ask Father:

Question:: In Scripture, sometimes the Lord is called Jesus Christ, and other times it’s Christ Jesus. Is there a difference?
Answer: Jesus is the name of the historical person born of Mary, coming from Nazareth. Christ is a title that means “Anointed One”, or Messiah. There is really no difference between calling the Lord Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus, other than emphasis. Since Jesus is his human name and Christ a description of his authority, usage would depend upon which fact the author chose to emphasize. If one wanted to highlight the Heavenly power of the Resurrected Lord, the author might call him Christ Jesus. If one wanted to highlight his humanity and his mission to gather people together to raise them up, then the author might have written Jesus Christ. Despite subtle changes in emphasis, it’s all the same Lord no matter what we call him, so the difference does not really matter too much.
