○
○
Tuesday eve., Feb. 16th, 7:30-9:00pm in the West Hall: Fear Not! Overcoming Worry; Bennet Annan.
Worry is to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts that cause conditions of uneasiness or
anxiety. Let’s face it, we are all faced with worries about so many different things. Most times, the worry
can so overtake us that our very lives become gloomed by its presence. Come learn the dangers of worry to
our health and the techniques on how to reduce or eliminate worry so you can live your life to the fullest.
Friday noon, Feb. 19th, 12:15-1:45pm in the Youth Center: Defending the Faith by Listening; Adam Cross.
Jesus commanded us all to spread our faith to the whole world. But how do we respond to those who
challenge us? Defending our Catholic faith can sometimes turn into heated arguments, hurt feelings and
divided friendships. How can we as Catholics “be ready to give an explanation for the reason for your
hope…but with gentleness and respect”? This talk offers practical and easy steps that anyone can use in
approaching others about faith, not aiming to win arguments, but rather their souls.

A Lenten Journey...
Dear Saint Peter Claver parishioners,
I would like to share with you an insightful article which I read and edited from the Catholic
News Service. May we deeply understand the power of the works of mercy and compel us to
“touch the flesh of the crucified Jesus in the suffering.” As we immerse ourselves deeply this
Lent on this Year of Mercy, we humbly remember that we are sinners, constantly invited to
receive the gift of mercy; that we too are poor and in need”. “Blessed are the merciful; they
will be shown mercy.” (Matthew 5:7)
- Fr. Adrian
Pope Francis: “Live the faith during Lent, perform works of mercy”
Lent is a time of conversion and a time to deepen one’s faith, demonstrating and sharing it
through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, Pope Francis said. “Faith finds
expression in concrete everyday actions meant to help our neighbors in body and spirit,”
“Each one of them is Jesus in disguise...”
the pope said in his message for Lent, which begins February 10th for Latin-rite Catholics.
~ Blessed Theresa of Calcutta
Feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, welcoming strangers, offering instruction, giving comfort
-- “on such things will we be judged,” the pope wrote in the message, which was released at the Vatican January 26th. Particularly
during the Year of Mercy, he said, Catholics are called to recognize their own need for God’s mercy, the greatness of God’s love seen
in the death and resurrection of Christ and the obligation to assist others by communicating God’s love and mercy through words and
deeds.
“The root of all sin” is thinking that one is god, something often expressed in a total preoccupation for accumulating money and power,
the pope wrote. And just as individuals can be tempted to think they have no need of God, social and political systems can run the
same risk, ignoring both God and the real needs of human beings. “Love alone is the answer to that yearning for infinite happiness,”
Pope Francis wrote. It is the only response to the longings “that we think we can satisfy with the idols of knowledge, power and
riches.”
“The danger always remains that by a constant refusal to open the doors of their hearts to Christ who knocks on them in the poor,” he
said, “the proud, rich and powerful will end up condemning themselves and plunging into the eternal abyss of solitude which is hell.”
But through acts of mercy and charity, “by touching the flesh of the crucified Jesus in the suffering,” he wrote, “sinners can receive the
gift of realizing that they too are poor and in need.”
“In the corporal works of mercy we touch the flesh of Christ in our brothers and sisters who need to be fed, clothed, sheltered, visited,”
he wrote. “In the spiritual works of mercy -- counsel, instruction, forgiveness, admonishment and prayer -- we touch more directly our
own sinfulness.” In the Christian life, Pope Francis said, “the corporal and spiritual works of mercy must never be separated.”
Cardinal Francesco Montenegro, president of Caritas Italy and head of the archdiocese that includes the Italian island of Lampedusa,
told reporters at a Vatican news conference that the pope’s message, like the Bible, “does not stop simply at reaffirming that God is
merciful, but clearly indicates that his children must be merciful, too, by living a greater love, especially by taking care of the little ones,
the poor and defenseless.”
The Cardinal said that from his own experience as archbishop of Agrigento, he has seen how people’s faith and joy have grown and
become contagious when they not only go to Mass, but also volunteer to assist the thousands of migrants who land on Lampedusa’s
shore seeking safety and a better life for their families.
Msgr. Giampietro Dal Toso, secretary of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, the office that promotes and coordinates Catholic charity,
told reporters that Pope Francis wants to help Catholics rediscover the traditional corporal and spiritual works of mercy, which seemed
to have been left on the shelf with dusty old books. “The works of mercy are a very simple, concrete, direct, alive, daily, easy,
accessible-to-all way of living the Jubilee of Mercy,” he said. “The works of mercy describe what we as Christians can actually do
every day, and that is why I find them so fascinating.”
As part of Cor Unum’s celebration of the Year of Mercy, he said, it has developed materials for a retreat day for people engaged in
church charitable activity. The materials are online -- www.corunumjubilaeum.va -- and can be adapted for use by a group, a parish or
a diocese.

Violencia electrónica de noviazgo prevalece entre adolescentes - Los adolescentes pueden tener mucha
comunicación en línea y a través de aparatos móviles por medio de las redes sociales y por textos. Relaciones
enteras pueden desarrollarse sobre la Internet y los servicios de mensajes electrónicos, y la naturaleza privada
de estas relaciones puede hacer más fácil esconder signos de abuso y violencia. La violencia entre novios incluye
cualquier acto de agresión mental, emocional o física entre una pareja que comparte una relación íntima. En
línea, estos actos son más difíciles de señalar, especialmente para los adultos afuera de estas comunicaciones,
cuyos hijos pueden ser víctimas de abuso emocional entre novios. Pregunte a sus hijos adolescentes sobre sus
relaciones, y cómo los tratan sus parejas en línea y en persona. Para una copia del artículo “Electronic Dating
Violence Among Teens” (Violencia electrónica de noviazgo entre adolescentes) envíe un correo electrónico
a jvienna@la-archdiocese.org
Electronic dating violence is prevalent among teens - Teenagers do a lot of communicating online and via
mobile devices through social media and texting. Entire relationships can be shaped or formed over the internet
and messaging, and the private nature of these relationships may make it easy to hide signs of abuse and
violence. Dating violence means any act of mental, emotional or physical aggression among a couple sharing an
intimate relationship. Online, these acts are harder to pinpoint, especially for adult outsiders whose children
may be victims of emotional dating abuse. Ask your teens about their relationships, and how their partners treat
them online and in person. For a copy of the article “Electronic Dating Violence Among Teens,”

On May 6th St. Peter Claver, with the help from
the Knights of Columbus and Parish partners,
is providing a bus to take children and their
caregivers to visit their Moms in prison
on Mothers day. Many of these children have
no other chance to see their Moms due to
distance and financial limitations. We offer them
the one day to spend together as a family - and
the joy we bring to these children and their moms
is evident in tears and smiles.
The bus trip is long and we are asking
for donations from you to pay
for backpacks, food, blankets,
Teddy bears, and other items
necessary for a very long trip.
At each Mass this week you will find
our yellow Get On The Bus envelopes
in the pews. We ask that you be as
generous as you can.
This weekend you will find volunteers
and information on the Plaza for
“Get On The Bus” after each Mass.
Please stop and say hello and let us share
with you this wonderful mission of Mercy.
God Bless each of you, hug your children tight,
and say a prayer for those little ones
who do not have their Mothers
and Fathers to hold them.
