t the climax of The Miracle Worker, the play
about deaf and blind Helen Keller and her
teacher, Annie Sullivan, Annie spells water
into Helen's hand while water pours over Helen's
other hand. Helen's face changes as she suddenly
makes the connection between the signs Annie is
making and the reality of the water. Helen starts
touching things wildly while Annie signs the letters
in her hand at an ever faster rate. Finally, Helen
points to Annie, who spells T-E-A-C-H-E-R in her
hand. The best teacher is not the one who can speak
the loudest or the most, but the one who patiently
does the same thing over and over until the student
makes the connection and finally learns.
Jesus is our teacher, and in the Gospel story today
he demonstrates it not with a wordy lecture but
by drawing in the dust and inviting his reluctant
students to think about what they are doing. We
don't know what he wrote, and it isn't important.
He neither engaged in the debate nor shamed the
woman brought before him. He made the scribes and
Pharisees look and wait. Then he asked them to judge
themselves first. It's a good lesson for us all. Before
we condemn anyone else, we should look at the ways
in which we have sinned. The lesson continues for
the woman as she is told to go and sin no more.
As Helen was attentive to Annie, let us be attentive
to what Jesus spells out for us. His lessons lead us to
new life and the knowledge of God.

A Word From Pope Francis
"Dialogue is very important for our own maturity, because
in confronting another person, confronting other cultures,
and also confronting other religions in the right way, we
grow; we develop and mature."

For The Week
This weekend,
the
readings and Gospel point to
something very lID' portant for
us to remember. It is not what
happened by us or to us in the
past, it is the future that we
must stay focused on. Even if
we have sinned, confession can
remove those sms. But to
change our lives to live for
Christ is what matters' most,
especially during Lent. So we
need to pray for that change in
us and those around us who
struggle with a life in Christ.
May God always watch over
us and protect us! And may we
all continue
to have
penitential and Holy Lent!

Serving the whole flock
in a diverse parish
How do we serve everyone in a culturally diverse parish?
In the past it was common to have parishes dedicated to different ethnic groups
where such populations were concentrated. In 2010, the U.S. bishops found that 33
percent of all U.S.parishes were culturally diverse, and that's perhaps using a narrow
understanding of diversity. Then in 2014, they published Best Practices for Shared
Parishes:So That They May All Be One, in which they outline a nine-movement
processfor creating an inclusive parish. The fact that there are nine movements is
notable. It means that we slowly move toward inclusiveness; we don't simply start a
Spanish Mass and think the job is done.
I recently worked in a small parish in the Mississippi Delta. In this parish there
is a Mass at 9 AM that reflects the worship style of a group of African Americans.
Another Mass at 11 celebrates a more traditional Catholic service. The Mass at 6 PM is
in Spanish. No one is limited to anyone service, but each service reflects a style that
different ethnic groups are more comfortable with.
Then there is Rosemary, an ItalianAmerican whose family has lived
in the area since the beginning of
the nineteenth century. Rosemary is
the volunteer director of education.
She attends every Mass, welcoming
people and making them feel at home.
Welcoming is the first movement toward
serving everyone in a diverse parish.

FOLLOW HIM
Being a disciple of Christ means focusing our hearts entirely on Christ and
trusting that he will show us the way to the Father. It means letting go of
our self-centeredness and allowing God to take possession of our hearts .
We do this simply by inviting him into our hearts with each new day and
conversing with him as a friend.
