Third Sunday of Lent
The Scrutinies This weekend, the Church celebrates the first of three scrutinies with the Elect - those who are preparing for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. We pray for our Elect: Jonny Ahn, Jessica Kaizer, Julia Kuo, Megan McSwain, Lillian O'Connor, Ducela Phan, Scott Vanderpool and Annahita Varahrami. These prayers are to assist them in their preparation for the Easter Sacraments and make them firm in their commitment as they enter the Church. Please keep them, as well as our Candidates for Full Communion: Natalie Carnine, Kris Carter, Victor Chatman, Whitney Douglas, Earin Eastwood, Danielle Handsaker, Bryan Hanus, Bobby Jenkins, John Kim, Rachel Vallejo and Dunt To in your prayers. By means of the three scrutinies, first of all, the elect are instructed gradually about the mystery of sin, from which the whole world and every person longs to be delivered and thus saved from its present and future consequences. Second, their spirit is filled with Christ the Redeemer, who is the living water . . . the light of the world, . . . the resurrection and the life . . . From the first to the final scrutiny the elect should progress in their perception of sin and their desire for salvation. - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, no. 143. Reminder! 8 pm Mass attendees are no longer able to park in the lot at the corner of 20th and Whitis. The only lot for the University Catholic Center is the lot to our west between our building and Dobie Mall. Fr. Ed Nowak asks for your prayers as he travels this week and next to lead parish missions. May the parishes he visits grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ and may Fr. Ed return safely to Austin. He’ll return on Friday, March 27th. Thank you!
