A Welcoming Family of Faith!
Thank you for those that were able to gather for Ash Wednesday. The start of Lent is always an important time in the Church year. Our focus as individuals and as a parish community is to do our best in following the disciplines of this holy season: prayer, fasting and alms giving.
- Prayer – select a special person in your life each week a say a little prayer each day for that individual.
- Fasting – select a meal one day of the week where you will eat a little less, great for weight loss and healthy for the body as well.
- Almsgiving – save your spare change in the All Souls plastic container which will assist us in our outreach programs.
Together as a parish community let us not only support one another with the commitment to regular attendance is Sunday but also in our journey together through Lenten sacrifices to Easter joy.
Fr. Henry Pruski
This Week's Reading And Question of the Week
Take time to mediate on God’s word and prepare for worship this Sunday. And as you meditate on them, consider the Question of the Week:
In the Gospel, God says, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him” (Mark 9:7). What is Jesus saying to me? What is Jesus asking me to do?
- Genesis 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18
- Psalm 116:10, 15, 16-17, 18-19
- Romans 8:31b-34
- Mark 9:2-10
ROMANS 8:31-32
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son
but handed him over for us all,
how will he not also give us everything else along with him?
