Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle,

be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits who wander throughout the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen!

Time of Joy

Lent is a time of sacrifice and discipline, but it should not be a time of sadness. Instead it should be a season of great joy. As Christians we are stirring up our faith and our love for God and

each other, so that on Easter, we are ready to meet the risen Lord—refreshed and restored. Our Sunday Visitor

ENCOUNTER LENT……

Pick up your family’s CRS Rice Bowl from your parish entrance.

THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT For the Dhathcroos family, whom we encounter through CRS Rice Bowl, and all refugees who are returning or have returned home,

that they find abundant resources with which to rebuild their lives.

We pray to the Lord… For refugees returning home who find it difficult to rebuild their lives. We pray to the Lord…

MID-LENT CHECK-IN

God says to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent to you . . The L^ORD, the God of

your [ancestors], the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob” (Exodus 3:14, 15).

As Jesus would later say, God is not a God of the dead,

but of the living, and so we believe that the dead will one day rise.

At this midpoint of Lent, we pause to consider how our repentance is leading us to the Resurrection,

to our reunion with the great “I AM.” Part of our repentance involves working to secure justice for all and helping our neighbor to live

in God’s ways. We encourage each other and nurture each other, like the compassionate

gardener of today’s Gospel, who tells the owner of the orchard

that he will nurture

the tree,

fertilize it, and perhaps it will bear fruit.
