Pope Francis’ Message for Lent
“Make Your Hearts Firm”
[continued from last week’s bulletin]
[The Church’s] mission is to bear patient witness to
the One who desires to draw all creation and every
man and woman to the Father. Her mission is to
bring to all a love which cannot remain silent. The
Church follows Jesus Christ along the paths that lead
to every man and woman, to the very ends of the
earth (cf. Acts 1:8). In each of our neighbors, then,
we must see a brother or sister for whom Christ died
and rose again. What we ourselves have received, we
have received for them as well. Similarly, all that our
brothers and sisters possess is a gift for the Church
and for all humanity.
Dear brothers and sisters, how greatly I desire that all
those places where the Church is present, especially
our parishes and communities, may become islands
of mercy in the midst of the sea of indifference!
Bro. Larry Huck, S.J.
Mr. Jason LaLonde, S.J.
Rev. Mark A. Lewis, S.J.

Weddings (Julie Vanderbrook):
As individuals too, we are tempted by indifference.
Flooded with news reports and troubling images of
human suffering, we often feel our complete inability
to help. What can we do to avoid being caught up in
this spiral of distress and powerlessness?

First, we can pray in communion with the Church on
earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the
power of so many voices united in prayer!
Second, we can help by acts of charity, reaching out
to both those near and far through the Church’s
many charitable organizations. Lent is a favorable
time for showing this concern for others by small yet
concrete signs of our belonging to the one human
family.
Third, the suffering of others is a call to conversion,
since their need reminds me of the uncertainty of my
own life and my dependence on God and my brothers and sisters. If we humbly implore God’s grace
and accept our own limitations, we will trust in the
infinite possibilities which God’s love holds out to
us. We will also be able to resist the diabolical temptation of thinking that by our own efforts we can
save the world and ourselves.… [to be continued]
FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT
PALMS NEEDED!
We are currently collecting Sego palms for use on
Palm Sunday. Enrich our holy days by bringing palms
to church and placing them in the bins at the back of
the church. Or you may drop them off at the parish
office before this Friday. Thank you!
PALM SUNDAY
Next Sunday children are invited to participate in
the Palm Sunday procession at the 9:30 a.m. Mass.
Please gather outside the church at 9:15.
GOOD FRIDAY… HELP NEEDED!
On Good Friday, April 3rd our church will welcome
hundreds of pilgrims throughout the day as they
make the annual “Nine Church Walk.” Parishioners
are needed between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to help host
these guests, by greeting them as they enter and
answering their questions. Even an hour’s service
will help enormously. To volunteer, phone the parish office (529-1477, ext. 224), leaving your name
and the times when you can volunteer. Thanks!
EASTER FLOWER OFFERINGS
In anticipation of decorating the sanctuary for Easter, parishioners and friends are invited to honor
loved ones by sponsoring Easter flowers, using the
envelopes available at the back of the church.
A TIMELY SOCIAL JUSTICE & LENTEN TOPIC

Jesuit Social Research Institute of Loyola University,

p.m. in the Audubon Room on the 2nd floor of the
Danna Center (6363 Saint Charles Avenue). A reception takes place beforehand at 6:15. The events are
