For three years I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. Cut it down. Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. If not, you can cut it down. Luke13:7-9 Third Sunday of Lent February 28,2016 Next week, our parish will take up the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Collection. This collection supports six Catholic agencies that touch more than 100 million lives around the world. The funds from this collection help provide food to the hungry, support to displaced refugees, and Christ s love and respect to all people. Next week, please give generously to the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Collection and help Jesus in disguise, coming to us in those in need! Come & Walk the Camino by Father Paul Pluth The Camino is the pilgrimage path to the grave of St James the Greater, one of the 12 apostles, in Compostela, Spain - Santiago de Compostela. There is no one route - Europe is crisscrossed by many pilgrim paths, marked with the sign of a scallop shell, the symbol of St James. I even came across an intersection of two of the pilgrim paths in a vineyard in France! Pilgrims walk these paths, carrying a scallop shell to let people know they are on pilgrimage. People walk the Camino for many reasons - for each, it is a their personal spiritual journey. Martin Sheen starred in a movie about it - The Way - and Shirley McClaine wrote a book about her walk, The Camino, A Journey of the Spirit. Today, thanks to the Internet, the Camino is now worldwide! This Thursday, March 3, at 6:45 pm during the Soup Supper at, Lindy Cameron will share her illustrated guide to Walking the Camino. Lindy is co-owner of the Brilliant Moon Bookstore in Shelton, a speaker at REI, and a presenter for Sno-Isle Libraries. Come and walk the Camino with us this Thursday! Hungering for a Healthy Start The next stop on our CRS Rice Bowl journey is the African nation of Rwanda, where we re reminded to care for the unborn. This week we pray for pregnant mothers, that they may have the medical and nutritional support they need to raise healthy, thriving children. Visit crsricebowl.org for more. Connect with Father Paul Email ppluth@staugustineoh.org Facebook FatherPaulPluth Twitter @FatherPaulPluth Today in the Jubilee of Mercy In Luke s Gospel today, Jesus warns us against judging others. Focus instead, Jesus says, on deepening - or restoring - our own relationship with God, for during this Lenten springtime that Master Gardener can use even life s manure as fertilizer to coax fruit from a tree that may seem hopelessly barren: us!

CRS Rice Bowl and the USCCB s Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Collection During Lent, Catholics in the United States have two opportunities to support the Church s global mission to assist the poor. What is CRS Rice Bowl? What is the CRS Collection? Every Lent, Catholics in the U.S. do something amazing. Their prayers, fasting and almsgiving become lifesaving aid for millions of individuals living in conditions of poverty around the world. The hungry are fed; the thirsty are given drink; the homeless find shelter. CRS Rice Bowl is Catholic Relief Services Lenten faith-in-action program for families and faith communities. It offers simple, yet powerful, ways for parishes, schools, and families to bring Lenten spirituality to life. By participating in CRS Rice Bowl, Catholics in the U.S. are making a positive difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters who are most in need. CRS Rice Bowl begins on Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016 and ends with Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016. Please designate checks for CRS Rice Bowl. The CRS Collection is one of the twelve national collections established by the bishops of the United States and represents our community of faith at work in the world. The CRS Collection theme, Help Jesus in disguise, reminds us of the presence of Christ in every one of our brothers and sisters in need. The bishops encourage us to view the national collection in the light of stewardship and sharing. It is right and just that we give something back, helping people in our nation And worldwide to live better and grow in the love of Jesus. The national date for the CRS Collection is always Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent. This year, the CRS Collection falls on the weekend of March 5-6, 2016. Please designate checks for CRS Collection. Please make all checks payable to Missions Office, with the program or collection designation in the memo. Thank you for not combining checks.
