This & That (Fr. S. Katziner)
The RCIA Cowboy
A cowboy walks into a bar and orders three mugs of beer. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes, he comes back to the bar
and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, “You
know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time…”
The cowboy replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers, and we promised that we’d drink this way to
remember the days when we were younger. So I’m drinking one beer for each of my brothers and
one for myself.” The bartender admits that this is a nice custom,
and leaves it there. One day, the cowboy comes in and only orders two
mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for a second round the bartender
says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.”
The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. “Oh, no, my two
brothers are just fine,” he explains. But last spring I became a Catholic at my local church.
This year I decided to give up beer for lent… but it hasn’t affected my brothers.”
Discernment Retreat
Friday, February 16 (6PM) to Sunday, February 18 (1PM) Villa Maria House of Studies/IHM Motherhouse Immaculata, PA Young women (18-35) are invited to join us for this retreat which focuses on the IHM Charism and the importance of
listening to God's call and discovering the many ways that God speaks to us. Time will be included for personal and
communal prayer. Contact: [email protected]/610-889-1553.
Catholic Charities Appeal 2018 The Catholic Charities Appeal is the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia’s single most important annual fundraising initiative. This year, the Catholic Charities Appeal will be a
channel of hope for tens of thousands of people through countless organizations & ministries in the Archdiocese.
We ask you to look deep in your heart and be as generous as you can to help us reach our $12.5 million goal. So many people are counting on us, and we’re counting on you .
World Day of the Sick 2018 February 11 is World Day of the Sick, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. Pope John Paul II initiated the day in 1992 to encourage people to pray for those who suffer from illness and for their caregivers. The Pope himself had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s a year before, in 1991, and it is considered that his own illness was impetus for his designation of the day. World Day of the Sick was first observed on February 11, 1993. February 11 is also the Catholic Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, which is a name given to the Virgin Mary in honor of the apparitions that were said to have been seen in and around Lourdes, France, by a young girl called Bernadette Soubirous. The Church canonized Bernadette as a saint several years later. Perhaps today you could bless someone who is sick with your presence and compassion…
May you be held in love. May tenderness carry you.
May the pain you know too well be lifted from you. May your heart’s heaviness be lightened by grace,
may hope abound for you. May those who serve you care for you.
May their expertise help you, their compassion sustain you. May you know you are not alone but always loved by God.
May you see miracles and know you are one. May your courage give us courage.
May your love hold us tenderly. And may you dwell in peace in the depth of Your being.
Amen.

Lent 2018
Fast and Abstinence and Other Acts of Penance for Lent 2018 The Bishops of the United States prescribe, as minimal obligation, that all persons who are
14 years of age and older are bound to abstain from eating meat on Wednesday, 2/14/18, which is Ash Wednesday, and all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday.
Further, all persons 18 years of age and older, up to and including their 59th birthday, are bound to fast by limiting themselves to a single full meal on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday, while the
other two meals on those days are to be light.
All the faithful are encouraged, when possible, to participate at Mass and to receive the Holy Eucharist daily, to celebrate frequently the Sacrament of Penance, to undertake spiritual reading, especially the study of the Sacred Scriptures, and to participate in Parish Lenten devotions as well
as Lenten education programs.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is especially recommended.
Special Lenten Happenings at St. Ephrem
DON’T GIVE UP CHOCOLATE FOR LENT! Lent comes every year. It’s meant to be a time when we invite God to help us become the-best-version-of-
ourselves. But for many of us, Lent isn’t a transformative experience. It’s just a time when we
give up chocolate or something else we enjoy, then go back to it at Easter.
This year, do something different. Join our parish for BEST LENT EVER, a free email program from
Dynamic Catholic that will help you have a life-changing Lent.
Each day, you’ll receive an email with . .
