My friends in Christ,
This weekend, we will take up a second collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, which among other projects will support relief to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. You can also support the work of
Catholic Relief Services in Ukraine.
Lent began this week with Ash Wednesday. As you think about your fasting this Lent, I want to share this thought with you:
"Fast from fear; feast on faith
Fast from despair; feed on hope.
Fast from depressing news; feed on prayer.
Fast from discontent; feast on gratitude.
Fast from anger and worry; feed on patience.
Fast from negative thinking; feast on positive thinking.
Fast from bitterness; feed on love and forgiveness.
Fast from words that wound; feast on words that heal.
Fast from gravity; feast on joy and humor."
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc
