Catholic Relief Services' Operation Rice Bowl
|
Fifth Week of Lent
Operation Rice Bowl Reflection: The New Covenant
In Sunday's first reading, the prophet Jeremiah describes a new covenant - one which is written on our hearts. As Christians, we believe that this new covenant is fulfilled in Jesus. This week through Operation Rice Bowl, we learn about malnourished children and expectant mothers in India whose health has been compromised by their poverty. We pray that we may open our hearts to the needs of the poor and vulnerable. We fast, not merely from our excess, but from our very substance, so that new life may come to all who suffer from poverty, illness and injustice. We give so that CRS-trained health care workers can help improve the lives of women and children throughout the world.

Special Viewing of Pro-Life Movie "October Baby"
The Diocese of Palm Beach and Catholic Charities Office of Respect Life invites parishioners to attend a showing of "October Baby," a powerful and compelling story of a young woman named Hannah who learns she was adopted after a failed abortion attempt. Feeling bewildered, angered and confused, Hannah joins a group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her past. This movie delivers a message that every life is beautiful and will likely open eyes and hearts to the sanctity of life.
The movie opens nationwide Friday, March 23, and the only local theater to show it in Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast area is at Cobb Theaters at Downtown at the Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens. With a rating of PG-13 and a mature subject matter, this movie is appropriate for young adults and adults of all ages. Show times are 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m., 4:40 p.m., 7:15 p.m. and 9:50 p.m. The movie will run March 23-March 29, but will be extended another week if the movie gets large audiences!
