STEWARDSHIP MESSAGE
1st. Sunday of Lent: ”I have now brought you the
first fruits of the products of the soil which you, O
Lord, have given to me.” (Deuteronomy 26: 10)
This line from the Old Testament offers two chal-
lenges. First, do you give to God from your “first
fruits,” the best that you have to offer, or do you
give from what is leftover? Second, do you re-
member that everything you have has been given
to you by God? Ask God for a grateful and gen-
erous heart everyday.

carry special graces.

PRO-LIFE CORNER
Ronald Reagan once said: “If we ever forget that
we are ‘One nation, under God’, then we will be one
nation gone under.” Our nation is fast going under
when we allow Planned Parenthood to continue its
atrocities against the unborn.
