Real Presence Radio Annual Fundraising Banquet
Fargo, on Thursday, February 19th @ the Ramada Plaza and in
Bismarck on Friday, February 20th @ the Ramkota Hotel.
Guest speaker, Tim Staples, Director of Apologetics and Evangeli-
zation for Catholic Answers, will speak at a luncheon event on Thursday, Feb
19, 11:30 am– 1pm at Sts. Anne & Joachim Church in Fargo. Tim will address
how the “five non-negotiables” are deal breakers when it comes to Catholics
voting in political elections. Abortion, Euthanasia, Embryonic stem cell re-
search, cloning, and so-called homosexual “marriage” are all matters of Moral
Law that can never be voted for or supported by any Catholic. Tim will give
tools to empower people to “act like Catholics” in every area of their lives, in-
cluding the voting booth. Cost of the luncheon is $15/person.
Registration is required, deadline is Feb. 12. Registration
forms can be found at www.fargodiocese.org/respectlife or
by calling Rachelle at 701-356-7910.
Sponsored by the Fargo Diocese Respect Life Office.

God’s Invitation continued...
It doesn’t matter. None of it matters. Only the joy that we have turned to God
and that like a loving father or mother, God is smothering us with embraces
and joyful cries. We have returned!
Come back to me, with all of your heart.
Our acceptance of this call, this appeal to our hearts is simple if we can only
get beyond the fear. All we have to do is say to our Lord, "I'm here. Where do
I start? Yes, I want to be with you." Our hearts have been opened and we have
taken the first step toward the rejoicing parent on the road. No explanations
are necessary, only to pause and picture in our hearts the joyfully loving and
unblinking gaze of God that falls on us.
What's the next step on our journey home? We could take the earliest moments
of our day, before we have gotten out of bed to thank God for such a loving
invitation and ask for help in opening our hearts to it. We could remember
throughout the day the invitation that has moved our hearts: Come back to me,
with all of your heart. And we can rejoice along with God.
That is the invitation of each day of Lent. Today is the day to accept it.

God’s Invitation
Lent is a season of being invited by God in a deeply personal
way. “Come back to me, with all of your heart,” our Lord
beckons.
"We will," we respond, but we aren’t quite ready yet, our hearts
are not prepared. We want to squirm, evade, avoid. Our souls not
yet perfect. We are not ready for God to love us.
Yes, of course we want to have a deeper relationship with God, we tell our-
selves earnestly. And we will….Soon. God calls to us again: Come back to me,
with all of your heart.
Ok, ok, I really will. Just a few more things to do at work. Let me spend a little
more time in prayer first. Let me get to Reconciliation. Let me clean my oven,
tidy my closets. Sell my yoke of oxen. Check a field I have purchased….
Come back to me, with all of your heart.
It is an extraordinary invitation to each one of us. To me in a personal, individ-
ual way. God invites me to drop the defenses that I hold up between myself
and God. All God wants is for me to realize that my standards, my way of
judging and loving are so very different from God’s way, and so much smaller.
God offers an entire Lent season, an entire lifetime, of loving me uncondition-
ally, no matter what I have done or how much I think I have hidden from God.
From the first day of Lent, the Ash Wednesday readings make God's call to us
clear: “Return to me with your whole heart.”
“A clean heart create for me, O God,” Psalm 51 offers. “Give me back the joy
of your salvation.” That is exactly what our loving God wants to give us, the
joy of salvation.
In North America, Lent falls in winter and these days are cold and dark, perfect
for hiding ourselves indoors, perfect for hiding from God - or so we imagine.
But our God is insistent, loving, gently prodding. God is the parent of the
Prodigal Child, waiting faithfully, eagerly on the road for our return, night af-
ter night. There are no folded arms and stern judging stares, only the straining
eyes of a parent eager for our return, longing to embrace us and rejoice in us.
Yet we spend so much time trying to think of how to return and what to say,
how to begin the conversation. It’s only when we finally appear after so much
time away, embarrassed and confused, that we understand we don’t have to say
anything. We only have to show up.
Look up there on the road ahead of us: our loving God is jumping up and down
for joy. The invitation to us has been heard. We have returned home!
But, wait... What stops us from this great reunion? What keeps us from accept-
ing this invitation to something deeper in our lives with God? We feel in our
hearts that there are things we should say first: “wait…but…if only” and final-
ly, “If God really knew about me…”
