God s faithfulness and goodness serve as examples to us of how to live. Genesis tells the story of Noah and of God s covenant not only with all people, but with all of nature. Never will the cleansing waters of the flood bring their destructive power to all the earth again. The sign, the reminder to both God and nature, is the rainbow in the heavens. The psalm reminds us of this compassion of God, and begs God to remember us, not because of our goodness, but because of God s goodness and fidelity to the promise. God shows us how to be good, not by decree, but by example. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Rectory: 7320 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y Telephone: (718) / Fax: / Website:

3 Dear Parishioners, We are now beginning our first full week of Lent. As you probably know, Lent was the time for intense preparations of the catechumens, those who were preparing for baptism at the Easter Vigil. The Church has returned to this ancient practice and I am grateful to say that Father Lewk and Deacon Hurley and the RCIA team have been preparing adult catechumens for years and this year they are preparing three adults for baptism. I ask all of you to keep these persons in your prayers. It is a good practice to use every Sunday of Lent as an opportunity to renew our Lenten resolutions/ practices. It need not be a very lengthy examination but a five-minute reflection on how we began on Ash Wednesday and how we ve been challenged or encouraged to be faithful to our Lenten penance. This thought goes back to my high school days when a teacher told my class, Daily application and weekly review. I am very grateful to all of you for your generosity in the Fuel collection. The total, after two weeks, amounted to $5, Thank you for your generosity. Let s pray for each other, Msgr. Kevin B. Noone February 10th & 11th, $9, Attendance: 1,041 February 11th & 12th, $8,210 Attendance: 1,145

Hazte propósitos para cumplir día con día y revisa en la noche si lo lograste. Recuerda no ponerte demasiados porque te va a ser muy difícil cumplirlos todos. Hay que subir las escaleras de un escalón en un escalón, no se puede subir toda de un brinco. Conoce cual es tu defecto dominante y haz un plan para luchar contra este. Tu plan debe ser realista, practico y concreto para poderlo cumplir.
