LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE...TOGETHER
Gospel Questions for this Week
… a great way to spend time exploring our faith!
Theme: Reform your lives!
Listen to the Word
As you hear this very short Gospel reading, what words
or phrases strike you? What image or story does the reading prompt you to recall?
Dear Parishioners,
It is my hope you are finding the “Lent Survival Kit”
helpful in these early days of Lent.
During this season we focus more of our efforts on
fasting and prayer as an opportunity to focus on our human frailty and the beauty and awe of Christ’s saving
power. As Jesus tells us in the gospel reading, we are to
“repent and believe in the gospel.”
But making his command a reality involves much
more of the heart than the head. In fact, for each of us,
this belief in the gospel requires a life actively lived in
imitation of Jesus who gave himself up for death for the
sake of others.
This does not mean that we will be called to die a
martyr’s death as many of our Christian sisters and brothers in the Middle East. But our lives ought to be lived for
others. At Creation, God entrusted everything to us. As
His stewards, we strive to give ourselves in service for
others — at home, in our parish, at work, at school and
elsewhere. The life of a Christian disciple, as Christ so
radically shows us, is a life of self-giving in charity.
This sounds like a lot of work. But you know what
was a lot of work, the Cross! It was far from easy. Christ
suffered the most unthinkable agony, but in his resurrection he experienced the most tremendous victory. We
give of ourselves like Christ did, knowing that we look
forward to the glory of eternal life. The reward of a
Christian steward far surpasses the effort it takes to live
this way; it far surpasses any hardships we experience
along the way.
As stewards, then, we live for others and we call others to do the same, proclaiming the good news that Christ
has come to save. All we need to do is “repent and believe in the gospel.”
Please don’t forget to return your 2015 CSA commitment card. The parish and the Bishop rely upon the
support of every one of us to carry out the ministry of
Jesus Christ and His Disciples. Thank you for your
support to 2015 CSA.
Look into Our Lives
Question for Children: What will you do this Lent to
become more like Jesus
Question for Youth: Lent gives us a chance to do things
differently – to "go to the desert." How can you make
Lent a time for growing in faith?
Question for Adults: What is the one area of your life
which you most want to "reform" as you get ready to emSource: www.osv.com
brace the Gospel, what is it?
Wishing everyone a good week,
Father Joe Callipare
Fasting is required of all over the age 18 through the
completion of the 59th year on Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday. Fasting means not taking any food in between
meals, and having smaller and simpler meals. Abstinence from meat is required of all over the age of 14 on
Ash Wednesday, the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday.
