4 YOUTH:

In preparation for the beginning of Lent which starts with Ash Wednesday, March 5th , we can begin to think about what we are going to do during Lent to prepare ourselves for Easter. Catholic Social Teaching is a central element of our faith, being rooted in the Hebrew prophets who announced God’s special love for the poor as well as in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Catholic Social Teaching helps us understand who we are and how we are called to live in community with one another. There are several good videos on You Tube called The Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching. Take a look!

REFLECTION: FASTING THIS LENT?

In the words of Pope Francis:
Fast from hurting words & say kind words. Fast from sadness & be filled with gratitude. Fast from anger & be filledwith patience. Fast from pessimism & be filled with hope. Fast from worries & have trust in God. Fast from complaints & contemplate simplicity. Fast from pressures & be prayerful. Fast from bitterness & fill your heart with joy. Fast from selfishness & be compassionate to others. Fast from grudges & be reconciled. Fast from words & be silent so you can listen.

PLENARY INDULGENCE:

Among the conditions required to receive a plenary indulgence is prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father, a gesture of deep communion with the Successor of Peter and with the universal mission of the Church. This act is not merely a formal requirement but a privileged opportunity for the faithful to spiritually partake in the great challenges and hopes that the Pope carries in his heart for the good of humanity. To foster and encourage thisdimension of prayer, we have put a poster in the church with a QR code on it. It is your one step way to access this spiritual tool and use it at any time.
