First Reading/ Primera Lectura

Jeremiah 31: 31-34

Jeremías 31, 31-34

The days are coming, says the

LORD,

when I will make a new covenant

with the house of Israel

and the house of Judah.

It will not be like the covenant I

made with their fathers

the day I took them by the hand

to lead them forth from the land of

Egypt;

for they broke my covenant,

and I had to show myself their

master, says the LORD.

But this is the covenant that I will

make

with the house of Israel after those

days, says the LORD.

I will place my law within them and

write it upon their hearts;

I will be their God, and they shall be

my people.

No longer will they have need to

teach their friends and relatives

how to know the LORD.

All, from least to greatest, shall

know me, says the LORD,

for I will forgive their evildoing and

remember their sin no more.

The Word of the Lord

“Se acerca el tiempo, dice el Señor,

en que haré con la casa de Israel

y la casa de Judá una alianza nueva.

No será como la alianza que hice

con los padres de ustedes,

cuando los tomé de la mano para

sacarlos de Egipto.

Ellos rompieron mi alianza

y yo tuve que hacer un escarmiento

con ellos.

Ésta será la alianza nueva

que voy a hacer con la casa de

Israel:

Voy a poner mi ley en lo más

profundo de su mente

y voy a grabarla en sus corazones.

Yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi

pueblo.

Ya nadie tendrá que instruir a su

prójimo ni a su hermano,

diciéndole: ‘Conoce al Señor’,

porque todos me van a conocer,

desde el más pequeño hasta el

mayor de todos,

cuando yo les perdone sus culpas

y olvide para siempre sus pecados”.

Palabra de Dios

Second Reading/ Segunda Lectura Hebrews 5: 7-9

Hebreos 5, 7-9

In the days when Christ Jesus was in

the flesh,

he offered prayers and supplications

with loud cries and tears

to the one who was able to save him

from death,

and he was heard because of his

reverence.

Son though he was, he learned

obedience from what he suffered;

and when he was made perfect,

he became the source of eternal

salvation for all who obey him.

The Word of the Lord

Hermanos: Durante su vida mortal,

Cristo ofreció oraciones y súplicas,

con fuertes voces y lágrimas, a aquel

que podía librarlo de la muerte, y

fue escuchado por su piedad. A

pesar de que era el Hijo, aprendió a

obedecer padeciendo, y llegado a su

perfección, se convirtió en la causa

de la salvación eterna para todos los

que lo obedecen.

Palabra de Dios

Gospel Acclamation/Aclamación Antes del Evangelio

R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus

Christ, King of Endless glory!

Whoever serves me must follow me,

says the Lord;

and where I am, there also will my

servant be.

R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus

Christ, King of Endless glory!

R. Honor y gloria a ti, Señor

Jesús. Tanto amó Dios al mundo, que le

entregó a su Hijo único,

para que todo el que crea en él tenga

vida eterna.

R. Honor y gloria a ti, Señor

Jesús.

Gospel/Evangelio

John 12:20-33 Juan 12, 20-33

Some Greeks who had come to

worship at the Passover Feast

came to Philip, who was from

Bethsaida in Galilee,

and asked him, “Sir, we would like

to see Jesus.”

Philip went and told Andrew;

then Andrew and Philip went and

told Jesus.

Jesus answered them,

“The hour has come for the Son of

Man to be glorified.

Amen, amen, I say to you,

unless a grain of wheat falls to the

ground and dies,

it remains just a grain of wheat;

but if it dies, it produces much fruit.

Whoever loves his life loses it,

and whoever hates his life in this

world will preserve it for eternal life.

Entre los que habían llegado a

Jerusalén para adorar a Dios en la

fiesta de Pascua, había algunos

griegos, los cuales se acercaron a

Felipe, el de Betsaida de Galilea, y

le pidieron: “Señor, quisiéramos ver

a Jesús”.

Felipe fue a decírselo a Andrés;

Andrés y Felipe se lo dijeron a Jesús

y él les respondió: “Ha llegado la

hora de que el Hijo del hombre sea

glorificado. Yo les aseguro que si el

grano de trigo, sembrado en la tierra,

no muere, queda infecundo; pero si

muere, producirá mucho fruto. El

que se ama a sí mismo, se pierde; el

que se aborrece a sí mismo en este

mundo, se asegura para la vida

eterna.

El que quiera servirme, que me siga,

para que donde yo esté, también esté

Whoever serves me must follow

me,

and where I am, there also will my

servant be.

The Father will honor whoever

serves me.

“I am troubled now. Yet what

should I say?

‘Father, save me from this hour’?

But it was for this purpose that I

came to this hour.

Father, glorify your name.”

Then a voice came from heaven,

“I have glorified it and will glorify it

again.”

The crowd there heard it and said it

was thunder;

but others said, “An angel has

spoken to him.”

Jesus answered and said,

“This voice did not come for my

sake but for yours.

Now is the time of judgment on this

world;

now the ruler of this world will be

driven out.

And when I am lifted up from the

earth,

I will draw everyone to myself.”

He said this indicating the kind of

death he would die.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Homily

mi servidor. El que me sirve será

honrado por mi Padre.

Ahora que tengo miedo, ¿le voy a

decir a mi Padre: ‘Padre, líbrame de

esta hora’? No, pues precisamente

para esta hora he venido. Padre, dale

gloria a tu nombre”. Se oyó entonces

una voz que decía: “Lo he

glorificado y volveré a glorificarlo”.

De entre los que estaban ahí

presentes y oyeron aquella voz, unos

decían que había sido un trueno;

otros, que le había hablado un ángel.

Pero Jesús les dijo: “Esa voz no ha

venido por mí, sino por ustedes. Está

llegando el juicio de este mundo; ya

va a ser arrojado el príncipe de este

mundo. Cuando yo sea levantado de

la tierra, atraeré a todos hacia mí”.

Dijo esto, indicando de qué manera

habría de morir.

Palabra de Dios

Profession of Faith/Profesión de Fe I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit

was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under

Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,

the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism

for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of

the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen

Creo en un solo Dios,

Padre todopoderoso,

Creador del cielo y de la tierra,

de todo lo visible y lo invisible.

Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo,

Hijo único de Dios,

naido del Padre antes de todos los siglos:

Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz,

Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero,

engendrado, no creado,

de la misma naturaleza del Padre;

por quien todas las cosas fueron hechas;

que por nosotros los hombres,

y por nuestra salvación

descendió del cielo,

y por obra del Espíritu Santo

se encarnó en María La virgen,

y se hizo hombre;

y por nuestra causa fue crucificado

en tiempos de Poncio Pilato,

padeció y fue sepultado,

y resucitó al tercer día,

según las Escrituras,

y subió al cielo,

y está sentado a la derecha del Padre;

y de nuevo vendrá con gloria,

para juzgar a vivos y muertos,

y su reino no tendrá fin.

Creo en el Espíritu Santo,

Señor y dador de vida,

que procede del Padre y del Hijo

que con el Padre y el Hijo

recibe una misma adoración y gloria,

y que habló por los profetas.

Creo en la Iglesia que es Una, Santa,

Universal y Apostólica.

Reconozco que hay un solo bautismo para

el perdón de los pecados,

espero la resurrección de los muertos

y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén

The Light is On for You

Confessions on all Wednesdays during Lent will be offered from 6:30-8:00p.m. Individual confessions will take place in the chapel. During this time of “The Light is On for You”, there will be an Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the main church. This gives parishioners the sacred space for prayer and adoration. Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent

Saint Ann will have the Stations of the Cross on all Fridays during Lent at 7p.m. Due to the pandemic and in keeping with the safety protocols for celebrations while in church, parishioners participating in-person for the Stations of the Cross are asked to stay in their pews, instead of walking the stations. Only the minister, altar server who is carrying the cross and the prayer leader will move around in the Stations of the Cross.

Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing are to be observed during these Lenten spiritual exercises in the

church.

NEW SCHEDULE FOR EASTER SUNDAY MASSES &INFORMATION ABOUT SIGN UPS

AND TICKETS Due to limited church seating capacity and a number of people want to celebrate Easter Sunday in person, attendance at the English Easter Sunday Masses on April 4 will require a ticket reservation. We have to make adjustments to our Mass schedule for Easter Sunday due to high demand for reservation / sign ups. 11AM Mass is booked and 8:30 AM is very close to filling. THE NEW EASTER SUNDAY MASS SCHEDULE

IS 6:30AM, 8:30AM and 11AM FOR ENGLISH MASSES.

THE INITIAL 8A.M. MASS IS MOVED TO 8:30AM.

THE SPANISH 2P.M. STAYS THE SAME.

THIS CHANGE OF MASS TIMES APPLIES ONLY TO EASTER SUNDAY.

Please know that the Easter Vigil Mass on April 3 at 8p.m. also counts for Easter Sunday. In fact, the liturgy of the Easter Vigil is the most solemn and the mother of all liturgies. It is rather late and a longer liturgy because it is a VIGIL to the Sunday of the Resurrection but it is a beautiful celebration. On a lighter side, if you haven’t been to Sunday Masses this year because of the pandemic when you could have gone safely, perhaps celebrating the Easter Vigil would be a good make up for Masses missed. The sign up geniuses are available. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0f4baba929a7fb6-sunday If you aren’t comfortable using sign up genius, Amy Strickland will be in the narthex after Masses this weekend to assist parishioners in filling out the sign up for Easter Masses You will receive confirmation of your reservation via email or telephone. Tickets will be printed for each Mass. Reserved tickets will be available for pickup from the narthex beginning at the weekend of March 20/21. Bring your tickets to the Easter Mass with you. Each Mass will have different colored tickets so you can hold them up to show the ushers when you enter and we can all maintain social distancing. Even if you have a ticket reservation, you are still expected to come at least 15 mins before the Mass time you signed up for.

Prayer to St. Joseph

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
