LENT A TIME FOR MERCY Deepen Your Love Pope Francis tells us that the real meaning of love can never be selfish or superficial and that love, by its very nature, is something concrete: intentions, attitudes, and behaviors that are shown in daily living. Every morning during Lent, remind yourself that you are called to love God and to love your neighbor. Every evening examine your conscience in the light of how loving you were throughout the day. The mercy of God is his loving concern for each one of us. He feels responsible; that is, he desires our wellbeing and he wants to see us happy, full of joy, and peaceful. This is the path which the merciful love of Christians must also travel. Pope Francis Rediscover the works of Mercy Reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. The corporal works of mercy call us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead. The spiritual works of mercy beckon us to counsel the doubtful, instruct the ignorant, admonish sinners, comfort the afflicted, forgive offenses, bear patiently those who do us ill, and pray for the living and the dead. As you reflect on the works of mercy, ask yourself: What role do the works of mercy play in your life? In what ways do they inspire you or beckon you to change? It will be a way to reawaken our conscience, to often grown dull in the face of poverty. And let us enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience of God s mercy. Pope Francis

CHANGE OF HEART LENTEN TREE I invite everyone to begin the Lenten journey by participating in our Change of Heart tree. At the entrances of the church you will find purple hearts. Please take six hearts, one for each week of Lent. Each week we ask you to think about something that you would like to do for the week to grow closer to God, to help with your journey of conversion. Write that promise on your heart and if you fulfill your promise, bring the heart back on the following Sunday and hang it on the tree. We will do this continually each week of Lent. By the end of Lent we should have a tree bursting with changed purple hearts. This is also a reminder that we should always bring our hearts to mass. The Adult Faith Formation committee will offer Fr. Michael Gaitley s program, 33 Days to Morning Glory, as a weekly Lenten retreat for everyone interested. Fr. Gaitley is a priest from the Divine Mercy Shrine. The book explores the devotions of four Saints in consecrating ourselves to Jesus through Mary. Each participant will need to purchase the book and read a short passage each day and meet weekly with the group beginning Wednesday, February 24th following evening prayer from 7:30 P.M.-9:00 P.M. at Holy Trinity Parish hall. (When evening devotions move to Holy Spirit in March the group will meet there.) At the end of the 33 days of preparation, we celebrate our Consecration to Mary as we have become closer to God in this profound way. Sign up sheets are at the entrances of both churches and in the parish offices. BINGO WORKERS: The third team, Chris Hallenbeck and the Knights of Columbus are scheduled for 2/27. MOTHER TERESA S CLOSET: We are currently in need of the following items: bleach, toothpaste & tooth brushes, dish detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, bar soap, kleenex, diapers-size 4, 5, & 6, and wipes.
