The pope views this year as an opportunity to “reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty.” He challenges us to “enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience of God’s mercy.” Lent is a time to reflect more intentionally on Pope Francis’ invitation. During these 40 days, we examine our own lives in an ongoing effort to “be merciful, just as [the] Father is merciful.” And CRS Rice Bowl is our tool to do just this. Through CRS Rice Bowl, we encounter those living in conditions of poverty around the world, and we have the opportunity to practice the corporal and spiritual works of mercy through our prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Joan Rosenhauer, Executive Vice President of CRS’ U.S. Make your Lenten practice this year one of mercy. Lenten Meditations on the Parables of the Mercy of God By Mr. Ezequiel Machado, O.C.D.S.

Contact: Larry Wedige (210)696-1104 [email protected] Prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen. 21 de febrero del 2016 Lent The three traditional pillars of Lenten observance are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The Church asks us to surrender ourselves to prayer and to the reading of Scripture, to fasting and to giving alms. The fasting that all do together on Fridays is but a sign of the daily Lenten discipline of individuals and households: fasting for certain periods of time, fasting from certain foods, but also fasting from other things and activities. Likewise, the giving of alms is some effort to share this world equally– not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents. 40 Cans for Lent Food Drive February 10 thru March 27 There will be containers for you to drop off your canned goods in the Church foyer every Sunday. The following items are recommended for donating: - Canned tuna/ chicken - Canned soups - Canned vegetables/ fruit - Peanut Butter/ Jelly - Rice/ Beans/ Pasta/ Spaghetti Sauce -Noodles (i.e. Macaroni and Cheese, Fideo) - Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Salt Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower Invites you to our Parish Pilgrimage In occasion of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy Spiritual Director Fr.
