LENT
This Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  

During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis invites us to recognize this holy season as a privileged moment to celebrate, experience and share God's mercy.  May each of us, in fasting from indifference towards others, herald this mercy in all of our relationships and encounters.

Blessings on a grace-filled journey through the Lenten season.

Monday: Bible Study
3:30 on Mondays at the CMC
Facilitated by Fr. Chris
Come as you are able!
Tuesday: Canisius Couch
Wednesday: Ash Wednesday

Next Sunday: LIFT Valentines Potluck Brunch
SEEK Scripture Jam
A Prayer
Later this week, Pope Francis will begin his visit to Mexico.  On February 17th, he will celebrate Mass at the border between the US and Mexico, calling attention to the plight of immigrants in North America and throughout the world.

Blessed are You, Lord Jesus Christ.
You crossed every border between Divinity and humanity
to make your home with us.
Help us to welcome you in newcomers, migrants and refugees.

Blessed are You, God of all nations.
You bless our land richly with goods of creation
and with people made in your image.
Help us to be good stewards and peacemakers,
who live as your children.

Blessed are You, Holy Spirit.
You work in the hearts of all
to bring about harmony and goodwill.
Strengthen us to welcome those
from other lands, cultures, religions,
that we may live in human solidarity and in hope.

God of all people,
grant us vision to see your presence in our midst,
especially in our immigrant sisters and brothers.
Give us courage to open the door to our neighbors
and grace to build a society of justice. Amen.
