A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s Gospel, Jesus urges his listeners to do two things: to
believe in the Good News and to repent. The steward is called
to repent: to acquire an openness to begin anew, to change
existing attitudes and habits, and to act with faith in the
Gospel. In this season of Lent, now is the time to ask ourselves
whether or not we truly believe in the Gospel; and if we do, to
what extent are we willing to change our prevailing habits and
be more faithful to the Gospel?

In today’s Gospel, Jesus overcomes the temptations to wealth, power and esteem. As we begin Lent, may we
open our hearts to the grace of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
During the month of January, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to assist 207
families, providing 5,725 pounds of food, a value of $9,676, and paid $17,701 for utility, rent and other
miscellaneous bills. This reflects total assistance to 627 people with a value of $27,377. God Bless You
for your continued generosity. For more information about the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, please

Marriage - Why God's Design
What does our faith tell us about marriage?
Marriage comes from the loving hand of God, who fashioned both male and female in the divine image. A man
"leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body." God blesses the
man and woman and commands them to "be fertile and multiply," and Jesus reiterates these teachings from
Genesis, saying, "But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female. For this reason a man
shall leave his father and mother [and be joined to his wife], and the two shall become one flesh'" (Mk 10:6-8).

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT
CATHOLIC SOCIAL
TEACHING
This Lenten season begins with the contrasting
images of the desert and flood waters. We live
in the paradox of these images needing to go
into the desert of fasting, prayer and self-denial
in order to re-learn the covenant way of life we
entered through the waters of baptism. Now is
the time to turn from the flood of distractions
which can drown us. Now is the time to
remember and reverence our dignity and the
dignity of every human person. Now is the time
to set aside anything that diverts us from our
true hunger and thirst for God alone and his
covenant of love with all humanity.
Esta temporada de Cuaresma comienza con
las imágenes contrastantes del desierto y la
inundación. Vivimos en la paradoja de estas
imágenes, necesitando entrar en el desierto
para ayunar, orar y auto-negarnos para reaprender la vida del pacto con Dios en la que
entramos a través de las aguas del bautismo.
Ahora es el momento de alejarnos de la
inundación de las distracciones que pueden
ahogarnos. Ahora es el momento de recordar y
reverenciar nuestra dignidad y la dignidad de
cada ser humano. Ahora es el momento de
dejar a un lado todo aquellos que nos desvía de
nuestra verdadera hambre y sed de Dios y de
su pacto de amor con toda la humanidad.
PRO-LIFE LINE/
LINEA PRO-VIDA
Marriage - Why God's Design—Continued from page 5
These biblical passages help us to appreciate God's plan for marriage. It is an intimate union in
which the spouses give themselves, as equal persons, completely and lovingly to one another.
By their mutual gift of self, they cooperate with God in bringing children to life and in caring for
them.
Marriage is both a natural institution and a sacred union because it is rooted in the divine plan for
creation. In addition, the Church teaches that the valid marriage of baptized Christians is a
sacrament—a saving reality. Jesus Christ made marriage a symbol of his love for his Church
(see Eph 5:25-33). This means that a sacramental marriage lets the world see, in human terms,
something of the faithful, creative, abundant, and self-emptying love of Christ. A true marriage in
the Lord with his grace will bring the spouses to holiness. Their love, manifested in fidelity,
passion, fertility, generosity, sacrifice, forgiveness, and healing, makes known God's love in their
family, communities, and society. This Christian meaning confirms and strengthens the human
value of a marital union (see CCC, nos. 1612-1617; 1641-1642).

Project Rachel Retreat—March 27-29
If you are suffering mental, emotional, and spiritual effects of abortion, the healing ministry of
Project Rachel can help. The next Project Rachel Retreat will be held from March 27-29. Please
call 1-877-WeCare2 or email [email protected], for more information.
Prayers Needed
We pray that the Supreme Court will be guided by right reason and render a true and just decision upholding the constitutionality of states to respect the institution of marriage as the union of
one man and one woman. We urge everyone to make a personal pledge to pray and fast daily for
marriage and for this extremely urgent intention.
Crisis Pregnancy? Suffering from an abortion? There is help. Call 1-877-WeCare2.
"I have set before you life and death . . .choose life, that you and your descendants
may live!" (Dt. 30:19)

ugly, and unfulfilled? The Culture Project will open up the world of beauty
found in a life of virtue, particularly, the virtue of chastity. All are invited to
attend and discuss about the genuine struggles experienced as young men
and women looking for love and happiness. Share practical tips about how
to channel natural desires towards authentic love. Info—Middle School
