Confidence in God A story is told of a very tired traveler who came upon the banks of a river. There was no bridge by which he could cross. It was winter, and the surface of the river was covered with ice. He wondered whether or not the ice would bear his weight. Finally, after much hesitation and fear, he got down on his knees and began, very cautiously, to creep across the surface of the ice, hoping that the ice would support him. When he was about halfway across the river he heard the sound of bells behind him. From the other side of the river there came a sled filled with people and pulled by four horses. They whisked across the frozen river, passing, right by the traveler who was still crawling across the river on his hands and knees. This story illustrates how some people go through life. Some stand on the banks of indecision, unable to make up their minds about the course to take. Others crawl along in constant fear, unable to find the courage to carry a cross or face a challenge. There are those, however, who allow their Faith to be their guide. They face c h a l l e n g e s, p r o b l e m s, a n d uncertainties knowing God directs every step. When we face rivers of difficulties, we do not have to be indecisive, nor do we have to creep through life in fear. God has promised to help, and with God s help we can make our way to the other side, safely.

Pope Francis said: Faith is like electricity. You can t see it, but you can see the light. Catechism books are available at the Parish Office Cost: $20 each 2017 YOUTH WINTER GAMES Lent is a time for saying no: no to spiritual asphyxia caused by indifference; no to the toxic pollution of empty and meaningless words ; no to a prayer that soothes our conscience, on almsgiving that leaves us self-satisfied, a fasting that makes us feel good, no to all forms of exclusion. But Lent is also a time for remembering, a time to reflect and ask ourselves what we would be if God had closed His doors to us. It is a time to ask where we would be without so many people who have helped us along our journey. Lent is a time to start breathing again the time to open our hearts to the breath of the One capable of turning our dust to humanity.

Bitter Harvest Now Playing at the Cineplex Odeon McGillivray and VIP 2190 McGillivray Blvd The film, Bitter Harvest is set between the two world wars and based on true historical events. Bitter Harvest conveys the tragic story of the Holodomor, the genocidal famine engineered by the tyrant Joseph Stalin that resulted in the starvation of 7-10 million Ukrainians. The film displays a powerful tale of love, honour, rebellion and survival at a time when Ukraine was forced to adjust to the horrifying territorial ambitions of the growing of the Soviet Union. Set in 1930s Ukraine, as Stalin advances the ambitions of communists in the Kremlin, young artist Yuri battles to save his lover Natalka from the Holodomor, the death-by-starvation program that ultimately killed 7-10 millions of Ukrainians by starvation. A must see film!
