Reflection: God is always doing something new – he is mercy and forgiveness for those who seek him. Today’s psalm speaks of the great things that God has done. Among them is his giving us the promise to forgive all who come before him with true contrition and who seek his mercy. Through and in Jesus we have the ability to do this, and when we do, we allow God to “re-‐create” in us – to do something new in us.

Fast and abstain on upcoming Holy days
The Church prescribes fasting (only one full meal and two smaller meals which together are not greater than a full meal) and abstinence from meat on Good Friday. Catholics aged 18-‐59 are bound to fast; those 14-‐59 to abstinence. Those who are ill are freed from these obligations. Everyone, even those above the age of 59, are encouraged to fast and abstain. All Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence but Catholics may substitute special acts of charity or piety in place of abstinence.

Archdiocesan Events
Stewardship Reflection “For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ…“(Philippians 3:8) The first commandment says that we should not put other gods before the Lord. Sharing all of our gifts, our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to support Church needs helps us keep God first in everything. It helps us from putting other gods before God. It helps us to use our gifts for the glory of God and not for our own honour. RCAV Copyright © 2019 Archdiocese of St. Louis
