World Meeting of Families Patron Saints
Saint John Paul II and Saint Gianna have been
chosen as the two worthy Patron Saints to guide all in
preparation and participation of this
international event as they fully embody the
history, mission and theme of the
World Meeting of Families 2015.—
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
Saint John Paul II—In 1979, Saint John Paul II was
the first pope to visit Philadelphia, where
he said Mass on Logan Circle for nearly
one million people filling the Benjamin
Franklin Parkway. In 1994, he celebrated
the first World Meeting of Families in
Rome, which aimed to strengthen the
sacred bonds of family across the globe. Upon his
canonization, he was declared “the pope of the family.”
Saint Gianna Beretta Molla—
A pediatrician and mother of four, Saint
Gianna is best known for her selfless love as
a mother, giving her life to bear her fourth
child in 1962. She was beatified by Saint
John Paul II in 1994 and canonized in
2004. Saint Gianna is the Patron Saint for
mothers, physicians and unborn children. Her life was a
testament to “the family fully alive,” the theme for the
World Meeting of Families—2015.

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Sister and Brothers,
In our Second Reading this weekend, Saint Paul tells us to “do everything for the glory of
God.” What a valuable lesson for each of us, especially as we begin our Lenten journey this
Wednesday. Everything we do should be for the glory of God, everything! There is nothing
too small, if done with love, which does not bring glory to God. As you go through the routine
of your day, try to remember that God is right there with you and offer whatever it is you are
doing to Him. In this way everything we do becomes a pleasing offering to our loving Father.
Below is the Schedule for Ash Wednesday. Coming to Mass as a family on this day is the
perfect way to begin the Lenten journey and to bring glory to God!
God Bless,
Father Weber

World Meeting of Families:
Chapter 4: Two Become One
Our first three chapters reviewed basic Christian
faith. We saw how confidence in Jesus opens the
door to faith, enabling us to know God and what God has done in
history. God creates male and female in his image, and makes a
covenant with Israel and the Church. God is faithful to his promises,
even when we sin. Because God loved us in this way, we spend our
lives trying to return our love to God and share it with our neighbor. In
this month’s chapter and in the chapters to come, we will study the
implications of these doctrines for marriage and the family. When
husband and wife promise to love each other as God loves us all, they
make a commitment to love not only romantically, but also with mercy
and forgiveness. Our culture sometimes teaches us to think of
marriage as a negotiable contract between two individuals who
happen to feel sexual chemistry. This view of love is a recipe for
instability, since it is still premised on individualism and the waxing and
waning of romantic feelings. The Church’s alternative account of love
enables us to transcend the culture of individualism and become who
we were created to be. Founded on Christ, sustained in the
sacraments, Catholic marriage builds humility and self-sacrifice into
the dynamic between male and female. As this month’s chapter
explains in more detail, sacramental marriage creates intimate
communion even in times of suffering and hardship. “Love is our
mission,” as our catechism’s title declares, because Christ’s love frees
us from false, shrunken accounts of love and makes us fully alive.—
Dr. Christopher C. Roberts, catechism editor Did you know? The
World Meeting of Families is for everyone, whether you are married,
single, celibate, or consecrated! Visit the website for the list of
