Family Prayer
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Happy are those who trust in God.
- The reading from Jeremiah draws a clear distinction between the person who trusts God and the one who trusts in human beings.
- Water is a significant aspect of the image.
- The passage presents a straightforward choice; trust God and live; trust flesh and die.
Christ is raised from the dead.
- Paul stresses that Christ’s resurrection initiated the resurrection of all those who believe in him.
- Belief in the resurrection of Christ demands belief that we will join him in risen life.
- We are called to abandon trust even in life itself and enter death without despair.
Happy, blessed, are the poor, whose reward is great in heaven.
- Luke’s Gospel portrays Jesus' special concern for the poor and vulnerable.
- In today’s passage, Jesus pronounces blessing on the poor and woe to the rich.
- The poor know their only hope is in God.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,
Great news. There is a parishioner willing to pay the participation fee for all athletes wanting to participate in Futsal or Track. The generous donor only asks the athletes to make a commitment to attend practices and games. Playing sports will help teach your child skills that will benefit them for life, like motivation, commitment, cooperation, leadership, self-discipline, self-awareness, teamwork, sportsmanship, time management, and communication. St. John the Evangelist is blessed to be able to offer opportunities to play team sports. Please take advantage of all we have to offer and sign your child up to participate. The fee for Futsal was $40 and the fee for track was $50.00. Thanks to our generous donor students will be able to try something new or continue to participate in track or futsal for free. Sign up deadline is March 18. If you have already paid your futsal or track fees, they will be refunded.
Sign up using the link below:
