Christ's weakness is stronger than any human strength. The power of the cross is greater than anything the world or evil has to combat it. The Lenten season is one of repentance, self-denial, almsgiving, and prayer. Many in our modern world do not see any wisdom in denying themselves anything. Those swept away in a consumer culture want more and they want it faster, bigger, and better. They also are looking for easy and quick satisfaction, unwilling to wait long. Paul speaks of the "foolishness of God" and how it is wiser than any human wisdom. Lent is a time to put aside that which we feel and think as humans and put on the attitude of Christ. The cross of Christ is neither easy nor fleeting, and it will ask us to deny our very selves for him. To the human mind it makes no sense. However, by putting on Christ and seeing with his eyes, we see reality with clarity. Our sacrifice can lead to riches that only a "foolish" man would covet. But it is exactly there that we are satisfied and fulfilled. *complete list of ministries & organizations with meeting schedule is available on page 7 PRAYER REQUESTS Please pray for the needs listed in our Parish Prayer Book Deceased Robert Weist, Jr. Louise Van Buskirk May the souls of the Faithful Departed, through the mercy of God rest in Peace.

Pope Francis With your gift to the CDA, you heed the call to love and care for others. Even though the economy is improving, demands on agencies and programs continue to increase. Through the Charity and Development Appeal, your gift will go farther and help more people. It can help more than one parish, more than one program and more than one agency. If you have already completed a pledge or made a gift online, thank you for your support! Pledges can be made by completing a pledge card or online at dphx.org/cda. Thank you once again for your support of the wonderful work of the Charity and Development Appeal! Parish goal: $100,000 Pledged: $23, This time of Lent is a perfect time to remember those who have little or no food and resources. Our CGS students and Pastoral Council have assembled care packages for the homeless containing lip balm, socks, crackers, visor and other essentials that can be given to those in need, many of whom stand on the street corners asking for help. It s a great idea to keep a few in your car. If you would like a bag, please stop by the parish office during the week. PLEASE STOP BY THE TABLES OF RELIGIOUS WARES (Nativity sets, rosaries, statues, crucifixes, charms, etc.) after all the Masses March 17 & 18. Ayman Khair, representing about 180 Christian families from Bethlehem will be onsite once again with beautiful religious articles carved from Olive wood. Families in the Holy Land have been dependent upon sales of their hand carved religious articles to tourists. Due to the conflict in the Middle East, the tourism has been cut off. In order to survive, they have turned to Christian communities in the United States to purchase their articles. These hand carved religious articles are beyond description. Carved from wood of the sacred Olive tree, this workmanship has been traditional for these families for hundreds of years. It is hoped that through the efforts of Mr. Khair, that these families have a little income and are able to stay living in the Holy Land. Amazingly enough, The Christian population dropped from 22% to less than 2% in the last 30 years. Thank you in advance for your support. SMG Bingo - First & Third Tuesday of the month at noon in Piper Hall. Come join the fun! Catholic Charities 2nd Annual You Make Miracles Happen Breakfast You can help us create miracles!
