relationship to the Living God.

BEST LENT EVEROnce again, Dynamic Catholic and Matthew Kelly
invite you to join an online program to help people examine their
lives, give their struggles to God and invite Him to help us grow
in holiness during the Lenten season. You can get an e-mail with
inspirational videos, practical tips and encouraging stories each
of the 40 days of Lent. Simply go to www.DynamicCatholic.com/SignUp
to register.
NOTES FROM THE LOFT• On the First Sunday of Lent, the Litany of
the Saints is
traditionally chanted at the start of whichever Mass the
catechumens and candidates attend. Here at St. Edward, we chant the
litany prior to the 10:45 a.m. Mass. After this weekend, the next
time the litany will be sung is during the Easter Vigil, when the
catechumens and candidates will receive the sacraments of
initiation. May we all join the saints in praying for them during
this time of preparation.
• During Lent, the music at Mass becomes sparser in keeping with
the penitential nature of the season. We have for many years sung
“Jesus, Remember Me” at the end of Mass. We also chant some Mass
parts, both in English and in Latin (the Holy and Lamb of God, or
Sanctus and Agnus Dei). If you want to learn/review the chant Mass
parts, there are videos, translations, and pronunciation guides on
the parish website. Go to http://www.saintedwards.org/music and
click on the link for “Chant Mass parts.” If you want to meet
personally with me to learn the Mass parts, please contact me,
Paul, at [email protected] or 740-587-3254.

“What page, what passage of the inspired books of the Old and
New Testaments is not the truest of guides for human life?” ~Saint
Benedict, from the Rule of Saint Benedict (73:3)
“If in Christ we have been tempted, in him we overcome the
devil. Do you think only of Christ’s temptations and fail to think
of his victory? See yourself as
tempted in him, and see yourself as victorious in him. He could
have kept the devil from himself; but if he were not tempted he
could not teach you how to
triumph over temptation.” ~SAINT AUGUSTINE
Monday, February 19 ~ First Week in the Season of Lent
Holy Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus said to his disciples: “When
the Son of Man comes in his glory,
and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious
throne, and all the nations will be assembled
before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a
shepherd separates the sheep from the
goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his
left. Then the king will say to those on his
right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a
stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and
you cared for me, in prison and you
visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord,
when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger
and welcome you, or naked and clothe
you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And
the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I
say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of
mine, you did for me.’ Then he will say to
those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the
eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his
angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty
and you gave me no drink, a stranger
and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing,
ill and in prison, and you did not care
for me.’ Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see
you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or
naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ He
will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what
you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for
me.’ And these will go off to eternal
punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Meditation: Jesus’ parable about goats and sheep must have both
amused and surprised his audience.
Goats and sheep shared the same grazing ground during the day,
but had to be separated at night. Goats
were less docile and more restless than sheep. They came to
symbolize evil and the expression
“scapegoat” has become a common expression for someone bearing
blame for others. (See Leviticus
26:20-22 for a description of the ritual expulsion of a
sin-bearing goat on the Day of Atonement.)
Separation is an inevitable consequence of sin and judgment. The
Day of Judgment will reveal who
showed true compassion and mercy toward their neighbor.
Prayer: Grant, almighty God, through the yearly observances of
holy Lent, that we may grow in
understanding of the riches hidden in Christ and by worthy
conduct pursue their effects. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
Contemplation: This parable is similar to the parable about
Lazarus and the rich man. The rich man, who
let Lazarus die on his doorstep, was doomed to crave for drops
of cold water he had not thought of giving
to the poor man. When Saint Martin of Tours, a young Roman
soldier and seeker of the Christian faith,
met an unclothed man begging for alms in the freezing cold, he
stopped and cut his coat in two and gave
half to the stranger. That night he dreamt he saw the heavenly
court with Jesus robed in a torn cloak.
One of the angels present asked, "Master, why do you wear that
battered cloak?" Jesus replied, "My
servant Martin gave it to me." Saint Martin’s disciple and
biographer, Sulpicius Severus, states that as a
consequence of this vision Martin “flew to be baptized.” God is
gracious and merciful; his love compels us
to treat others with mercy and kindness. When we do something
for one of Christ's little ones, we do it for
Christ himself. Do you treat your neighbor with mercy and love
as Christ has treated you?

Tuesday, February 20 ~ First Week in the Season of Lent
Holy Gospel: Matthew 6:7-15 Jesus said to his disciples: “In
praying, do not babble like the pagans,
who think that they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them. Your Father knows
what you need before you ask him. “This is how you are to pray:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed
be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it
is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us; and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. “If you forgive men their
transgressions, your heavenly Father will
forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your
Father forgive your transgressions.”
Meditation: We can approach God confidently because he is
waiting with arms wide open to receive his
prodigal sons and daughters. That is why Jesus gave his
disciples the perfect prayer that dares to call
God, Our Father. This prayer teaches us how to ask God for the
things we really need, the things that
matter not only for the present but for eternity as well. We can
approach God our Father with confidence
and boldness because Christ has opened the way to heaven for us
through his death and resurrection.
When we ask God for help, he fortunately does not give us what
we deserve. Instead, he responds with
grace and mercy. He is kind and forgiving towards us and he
expects us to treat our neighbor the same.
Prayer: Look upon your family, Lord, that, through the
chastening effects of bodily discipline, our minds
may be radiant in your presence with the strength of our
yearning for you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: Consider what Saint John Cassian wrote about the
Lord’s Prayer and the necessity of
forgiving others from the heart: “The mercy of God is beyond
description. While he is offering us a model
prayer he is teaching us a way of life whereby we can be
pleasing in his sight. But that is not all. In this
same prayer he gives us an easy method for attracting an
indulgent and merciful judgment on our lives.
He gives us the possibility of ourselves mitigating the sentence
hanging over us and of compelling him to
pardon us. What else could he do in the face of our generosity
when we ask him to forgive us as we have
forgiven our neighbor? If we are faithful in this prayer, each
of us will ask forgiveness for our own failings
after we have forgiven the sins of those who have sinned against
us, not only those who have sinned
against our Master. There is, in fact, in some of us a very bad
habit. We treat our sins against God,
however appalling, with gentle indulgence: but when by contrast
it is a matter of sins against us
ourselves, albeit very tiny ones, we exact reparation with
ruthless severity. Anyone who has not forgiven
from the bottom of the heart the brother or sister who has done
him wrong will only obtain from this
prayer his own condemnation, rather than any mercy.” Thus we
need to honestly ask ourselves: do I
treat others as the Lord has instructed me – with compassion,
mercy, steadfast love, and kindness?
Wednesday, February 21 ~ First Week in the Season of Lent
Saint Peter Damian, Bishop and Doctor of the Church
Holy Gospel: Luke 11:29-32 While still more people gathered in
the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This
generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign
will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just
as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man
be to this generation. At the judgment the
queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and
she will condemn them, because she
came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
and there is something greater than
Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with
this generation and condemn it,
because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is
something greater than Jonah here.”
Meditation: The Lord Jesus came to set us free from slavery to
sin and hurtful desires. Through the gift
of the Holy Spirit he pours his love into our hearts that we may
understand his will for our lives and walk
in his way of holiness. God searches our hearts, not to condemn
us, but to show us where we need his
saving grace and help. He calls us to seek him with true
repentance, humility, and the honesty to see our
sins for what they really are – a rejection of his love and will
for our lives. God will transform us if we
listen to his word and allow his Holy Spirit to work in our
lives. Ask the Lord to renew your mind and to
increase your thirst for his wisdom. James says that the wisdom
from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without
uncertainty or insincerity (James 3:17). A
double-minded person cannot receive this kind of wisdom. The
single of mind desire one thing alone –
God's pleasure. God wants us to delight in him and to know the
freedom of his truth and love. Do you
thirst for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord
(Hebrews 12:14)?
-
Prayer: Grant, we pray, almighty God, that we may so follow the
teaching and example of the Bishop
Saint Peter Damian, that, putting nothing before Christ and
always ardent in the service of your Church,
we may be led to the joys of eternal light. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
Contemplation: Do you pay careful attention to warning signs? Do
you pay attention to these signs at
all? Many fatalities could be avoided if people paid attention
to such signs. When the religious leaders
demanded a sign from Jesus, he gave them a serious warning to
avert spiritual disaster. It was
characteristic of the Jews that they demanded "signs" from God's
messengers to authenticate their claims.
When the religious leaders pressed Jesus to give proof for his
claims he says in so many words that he is
God's sign and that they need no further evidence from heaven
than his own person. The Ninevites
recognized God's warning when Jonah spoke to them, and they
repented. And the Queen of Sheba
recognized God's wisdom in Solomon. Jonah was God's sign and his
message was the message of a
merciful God for the people of Nineveh. Unfortunately the
religious leaders were not content to accept the
signs right before their eyes. They had rejected the message of
John the Baptist and now they reject
Jesus as God's Anointed One (Messiah) and they fail to heed his
message. Simeon had prophesied at
Jesus' birth that he was "destined for the falling and rising of
many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be
opposed so that inner thoughts of many will be revealed" (Luke
2:34- 35). Jesus confirmed his message
with many miracles in preparation for the greatest sign of all –
his resurrection on the third day.
Thursday, February 22 ~ First Week in the Season of Lent
Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, Apostle
Holy Gospel: Matthew: 13:16-19 When Jesus went into the region
of Caesarea Philippi he asked his
disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They
replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others
Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said
to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God.” Jesus said to him in reply,
“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has
not revealed this to you, but my heavenly
Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my Church, and the gates of the
netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the
keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Meditation: Jesus tests his disciples with a basic, yet crucial
question: “Who do men say that I am”
followed by “who do you say that I am?” Jesus was widely
recognized in Israel as a mighty man of God,
even being compared with the greatest of the prophets -- John
the Baptist, Elijah, and Jeremiah. Peter,
always quick to respond, exclaimed that he was the Christ, the
Son of the living God. No mortal being
could have revealed this to Peter; but only God. Jesus then
confers on Peter authority to govern the
church that Jesus would build, a church that no powers would
overcome. Jesus plays on Peter's name
which is the same word for “rock” in both Aramaic and Greek. To
call someone a “rock” is one of the
greatest of compliments. The ancient rabbis had a saying that
when God saw Abraham, he exclaimed: “I
have discovered a rock to found the world upon.” Through Abraham
God established a nation for himself.
Through faith Peter grasped who Jesus truly was. He was the
first apostle to recognize Jesus as the
Anointed One (Messiah and Christ) and the only begotten Son of
God. The Lord Jesus tests each of us
personally with the same question: “Who do you say that I
am?”
Prayer: Grant, we pray, almighty God, that no tempests may
disturb us, for you have set us fast on the
rock of the Apostle Peter's confession of faith. Through our
Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: Jesus Christ also asks each one of us: “Who do
you say that I am?” Obviously our
personal response has great ramifications. A wonderful response
to come not only from our lips, but from
deep from within our hearts would be: “Lord Jesus, I profess and
believe that you are the Christ, the Son
of the living God. You are my Lord and my Savior. Make my faith
strong and help me to live in the victory
of the cross by rejecting sin and by accepting your will.” Our
response to Jesus’ question requires sincere
thought and discernment. But more importantly it requires action
in how we think, speak, and live out
our daily lives. Ask yourself: Does my life reflect that of a
disciple of Christ? If not, why not?
About the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter: This feast brings
to mind the mission of teacher and
pastor conferred by Christ on Peter, and continued in an
unbroken line down to the present Pope. We
celebrate the unity of the Church, founded upon the Apostle, and
renew our assent to the Magisterium of
the Roman Pontiff, extended both to truths which are solemnly
defined ex cathedra, and to all the acts of
the ordinary Magisterium.
-
Friday, February 23 ~ First Week in the Season of Lent
Holy Gospel: Matthew 5:20-26 Jesus said to his disciples: “I
tell you, unless your righteousness
surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter
into the Kingdom of heaven. “You have
heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill;
and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.
But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be
liable to judgment, and whoever says to his
brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever
says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery
Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and
there recall that your brother has anything
against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be
reconciled with your brother, and then come
and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on
the way to court. Otherwise your opponent
will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you
over to the guard, and you will be thrown
into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until
you have paid the last penny.”
Meditation: Do you allow sin or anger to master your life? Maybe
at first glance you say “no, of course
not.” But take a deep look, an honest look at yourself, at your
life, at how you live. The first human to
hate his brother was Cain. God warned Cain: 'Why are you angry?
...Sin in couching at the door; it's
desire is for you, but you must master it (Genesis 4:6-7). Sin
doesn't just happen; it first grows as a seed
in one's heart. Unless it is mastered, by God's grace, it grows
like a weed and chokes the fruitful vine.
Jesus addressed the issue of keeping the commandments with his
disciples. The scribes and Pharisees
equated righteousness with satisfying the demands of the law.
Jesus showed them how short they had
come. Jesus points to the heart as the seat of desire and
choice. Unless forbidden and evil desires are
eradicated, the heart will be corrupted. Jesus points to
forbidden anger with one's brother. This is a selfish
anger that broods and is long-lived, that nurses a grudge and
keeps wrath warm, and that refuses to die.
Anger in the heart as well as anger in speech or action are
equally forbidden. What is the antidote to
anger and rage? Mercy, kindness, and forbearance spring from a
heart full of love and forgiveness. God
has forgiven us and he calls us to extend mercy and forgiveness
towards those who cause us harm and
grief. In the cross of Jesus we see the supreme example of love
and the power for overcoming evil. Only
God's love and grace can set our hearts and minds free from the
tyranny of wounded pride and spiteful
revenge. Do you harbor any anger towards another person? And are
you quick to be reconciled when a
rupture has been caused in your relationships? Ask God to set
you free and to fill your heart and mind
with his love and truth.
Prayer: Grant that your faithful, O Lord, we pray, may be so
conformed to the paschal observances, that
the bodily discipline now solemnly begun may bear fruit in the
souls of all. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: Saint Eusebius, a Father of the Church, offered
the following prayer as instruction for his
fellow Christians: "May I be no man's enemy, and may I be the
friend of that which is eternal and abides.
May I never quarrel with those nearest me: and if I do, may I be
reconciled quickly. May I love, seek, and
attain only that which is good. May I wish for all men's
happiness and envy none. May I never rejoice in
the ill-fortune of one who has wronged me. When I have done or
said what is wrong, may I never wait for
the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make
amends. May I win no victory that harms
either me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who are angry
with one another. May I never fail a
friend who is in danger. When visiting those in grief may I be
able by gentle and healing words to soften
their pain. May I respect myself. May I always keep tame that
which rages within me. May I accustom
myself to be gentle, and never be angry with people because of
circumstances. May I never discuss who is
wicked and what wicked things he has done, but know good men and
follow in their footsteps." Do you
seek to live peaceably and charitably with all? If not, pray
that you will! Lent is about reconciliation, not
only with God and Jesus, but with anyone whom we have harmed
through our actions. Reconciliation is
the first step toward conversion of mind and heart.
Step-by-step, we turn away from sin and selfishness,
and turn back to Christ. Begin these steps now, during Lent.

Today’s Readings: Genesis 9:8 –15; Psalm 25:4 – 5, 6 –7, 8 – 9;
1 Peter 3:18 – 22; Mark 1:12 –15. Today’s readings place us in the
midst of conflict. In the First Reading, we hear of God’s covenant
with Noah after the flood destroyed the earth. The Second Reading
highlights a spiritual struggle between right and wrong. Finally,
the Gospel tells of Jesus’ temptation in the desert.
No matter our experience of conflict, it usually brings
discomfort. These readings show that God reaches out to us with
love and mercy in the midst of chaos. God saves us from chaos and
orders us toward a deep love. After the flood, God sent the rainbow
as a sign of his promise not to
devastate the earth again. The reading from Peter reminds us
that Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice and in him, through the waters
of Baptism, the chaos of our lives is eliminated. Finally, in the
Gospel, the Spirit drives Jesus into the desert to be tested. His
wrestling in the desert prepares him for ministry and he emerges
from the desolation proclaiming the “good news of God.”
What is the chaos in your life? As the psalmist pleads, we too
ask for the Lord’s compassion. God never forgets his children. This
week ask for God’s help in resolving a hurting relationship.
Sunday, February 18, 2018Conflict
Washed CleanCompassionate God,whose promise of love spans
all generations,rouse our hearts to hear your Wordand teach us
to act according
to your will.Give us courage to turn away
from temptationand strengthen our desire to follow you. May we,
who were washed clean of sin and saved from death in the waters
of Baptism,be renewed by your Holy Spirit during
these forty days.With the elect, guide our hearts
to repentanceso that, sustained by the Living Bread,we may
forever give witness to your love
and mercy.We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

This Week at HomeMonday, February 19Your WordsToday’s
Responsorial Psalm reminds us that God’s words are spirit and life.
When the Psalm is read in relationship to the First Reading, we see
that listening and following the pre-cepts of the Lord will help us
be holy just as God is holy. The ultimate Word that God spoke was
Jesus, who showed us how to love and show mercy. How has God’s Word
given you spirit and life? Listen to or sing Bernadette Farrell’s
“Praise to You, O Christ Our Savior.” Journal about what you hear.
Today’s Readings: Leviticus 19:1– 2, 11–18; Psalm 19:8, 9, 10, 15;
Matthew 25:31– 46.
Tuesday, February 20RescueIn the Gospel, Jesus tells us not to
babble in our prayer. Prayer is an intimate encounter or dialogue
with God. It is a safe space to call upon the Lord in times of
trouble and in times of joy. The Psalm reassures us that God
rescues the just who call upon him and hears the cry of the poor.
It can be difficult to enter into prayer sometimes and trust
ourselves enough to share with God or to trust that God is
listening. God is present and hears your prayers. Use the Lord’s
Prayer as a starting point for your conversation with God today.
Today’s Readings: Isaiah 55:10 –11; Psalm 34:4 – 5, 6 –7, 16 –17,
18 –19; Matthew 6:7–15.
Wednesday, February 21RepentIn prayer, have you ever asked God
for a sign? Jonah called the people of Nineveh to follow God’s law.
He was a sign from God who called the people to repent. Jesus, the
Word of God made flesh, calls all generations to conversion of
heart and mind. Jesus heals and saves us from our sin. Consider
celebrating the Sacrament of Penance in the coming days. Today’s
Readings: Jonah 3:1–10; Psalm 51:3 – 4, 12 –13, 18 –19; Luke 11:29
– 32.
Thursday, February 22The Chair of St. Peter the ApostleToday’s
feast is about the office of the shepherd who leads his flock on
the right path. In the Gospel, Peter confesses that Jesus is the
Messiah, the Son of the living God; Jesus chooses Peter to shepherd
the Church. In what ways have you con-fessed that Jesus is the Son
of God? Spend some time reading First and Second Peter today.
Today’s Readings: 1 Peter 5:1– 4; Psalm 23:1– 3a, 4, 5, 6; Matthew
16:13 –19.
Friday, February 23Turn AwayThe process of turning away from sin
includes reconciliation. The readings today illuminate this reality
and call us to seek forgiveness from those we have wronged in the
community. Consider the ways you might seek forgiveness from those
whom you have harmed. Reconciliation frees us from sin and
strengthens us to embrace a virtuous life. God is merciful and will
shower you with abundant grace. Light a candle today and ask for
the grace to turn away from sin. Today’s Readings: Ezekiel 18:21–
28; Psalm 130:1– 2, 3 – 4, 5 –7a, 7bc – 8; Matthew 5:20 – 26.
Saturday, February 24Path of LoveWhat is the path God is calling
us to follow? This is a com-mon theme throughout the season of
Lent. What does it mean for you to follow the Lord? The Gospel
gives us a clue that to follow the Lord is to love. Love is not
always easy but is required of the Christian. God’s love is
nourished in the sacraments and our relationships so that we might
overflow and share it with others. Think of a map as a tool for
prayer. Consider the path you are on and the path God is calling
you to walk. Today’s Readings: Deuteronomy 26:16 –19; Psalm 119:1–
2, 4 – 5, 7– 8; Matthew 5:43 – 48.

IDEAS FOR LENTThe season of Lent is a very special time in the
liturgical year - when we as Catholics prepare for Easter. The
season - lasting 40 days – is observed with prayers, fasting, and
almsgiving. It can be a very powerful time of renewal as we call to
mind our baptismal commitment and prepare to celebrate the most
Holy Week of the year, concluding on Easter Sunday. Here are some
resources to help you choose how you and your family will observe
Lent this year:• USCCB Calendar –
http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-
worship/liturgical-year/lent/index.cfm. This calendar serves as
a daily commitment to read, reflect, pray and act.
• What Kids & Teens Can do for Lent –
http://www.pbgrace.com/lent-ideas/. Provides an explanation of Lent
and some ideas to pass along to the children in your life.
Regardless of what you choose to do (or give up) this Lent, know
that we are praying for you and your families as we all draw closer
to Jesus.ENRICH YOUR MARRIAGE
Are you looking for a way to enrich your marriage? Maybe you’re
unable to get out of the house, but would love to retreat away with
your spouse. If getting away together is not possible for one
reason or another, the two of you can take part in a seven-day
virtual retreat in the comfort of your own home!
http://www.foryourmarriage.org/seven-day-virtual-marriage-retreat/
For seven days, set aside some additional time together for
prayer. These mini-retreats involve reading about the theme of the
day together, reflecting on real-life marriage scenarios, and
brainstorming ways to strengthen your marriage. Four separate
virtual retreat options are offered, so feel free to choose the one
that resonates most with you and your spouse. We pray that your
marriage be enriched!Catholic Diocese of Columbus Marriage &

40 DAYS, 40 CANS: A CAN-A-DAY FOR LENTAs we prepare for Easter
and the Resurrection of the Lord, consider making a sacrifice for
the hungry of our community. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is
sponsoring a “40 Days, 40 Cans” campaign. Each family is asked to
donate 40 cans to the pantry as their “works of love” during Lent.
The pantry is in need of canned fruit, beans, soup, spaghetti
sauce, skillet dinners and personal items (toilet paper,
toothpaste, laundry detergent). Families may also make a monetary
donation to the pantry by placing a check in the offering, listing
the food pantry in the memo section of the check. Thanks for
thinking of the pantry during this Lenten season.
SECURITY AND SAFETY BRIEFING Lieutenant Paul Ohl, Columbus
Police Department and St.
Edward parishioner, will be doing a security and safety briefing
for ushers, lectors, Eucharistic ministers and other interested
parishioners on Tuesday, February 20th at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish
Hall after the soup supper and stations. If Paul is unexpectedly
called to be on duty due to an emergency, the “rain date” is the
following evening, Wednesday, February 21st. Paul has been with the
Columbus Division of Police for 28 years and is currently the
Lieutenant for their full-time SWAT unit.
If you are like most ministers at Mass (lectors, EMs, ushers,
etc.), you have little or no background in emergency planning,
protection or security activities. You may be inexperienced in
dealing with people who are upset. You may be friendly in a quiet
way or assertively outgoing. Greeters, ushers, deacons, Eucharistic
ministers, teachers and the pastor, all share responsibility for
the safety and security of the congregation. You are not expected
to do it all yourself or act as a police officer or security guard
but you are expected to continuously observe people and the
environment, assess the situation to see if there is danger, and
respond appropriately. You need to know what to look for and what
to do if you see something of concern. You do not need extensive
training to be reasonably effective. Your life experiences and some
review with Paul and discussion will provide you with most of the
knowledge you need.

ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH GRANVILLE, OHIO
SPONSOR OF THE WEEK:
As we begin our Lenten journey to Easter, we prepare by seeking
the forgiveness of sins. This week we read the section of our
Catechism titled, “I believe in the forgiveness of sins” – Article
10 of our Creed-paragraphs 976-980. 976 – The Apostles Creed
associates faith in the forgiveness of sins not only with faith in
the Holy Spirit, but also faith in the Church and in the communion
of saints. When Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to his apostles he
conferred on them his own divine power to forgive sins: “Receive
the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven,
if you retain the sins of any they are retained.” 977 – One Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins: Our Lord tied the forgiveness of sins
to faith and Baptism. Baptism is the fi rst and chief sacrament of
forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ. 978 – At our
baptism the forgiveness we received was full and complete, however,
our baptism did not deliver us from the weakness of our nature.
Therefore, we remain throughout our lives in a constant state of
combat against sin and evil. 979 – In our battle against the
inclination towards evil we are not brave or watchful enough to
escape every wound of sin. The Church has the power to forgive sin
and it in fact forgives all penitents of their offenses, even if
they should sin in the last moment of their lives. 980 – It is
through the sacrament of penance that the baptized can be
reconciled with God and the Church. Penance has rightly been called
by the holy Fathers “a laborious kind of baptism.” This sacrament
of Penance is necessary for salvation…for those who have fallen
since their Baptism, just as Baptism is necessary for salvation for
those who have fallen after Baptism, just as Baptism is necessary
for salvation for those who have not yet been reborn. This Lent’s
Communal penance service will be held Tuesday, March 13th after the
Soup Supper at 7:00 p.m. The Sacrament of Penance can be received
each Saturday at 4:00 p.m. just before the Saturday Vigil Mass. An
extra opportunity for reconciliation is March 28 from 7:00-8:00
p.m.
The Catechism Corner
It seems fi tting that our readings on this First Sunday of Lent
begin with the Old Testament Book of Genesis. The book was fi rst
called “Genesis” — ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ — in the Greek Septuagint translation,
as it presents both the origin of the world and mankind, and in
particular, the Hebrew people. The book in Hebrew was known by its
opening expression, “In the beginning.”
In today’s particular reading from Genesis 9, we hear of God’s
relationship with Noah and his family. God says, “I am now
establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you.”
God goes on to say, “I set my bow (rainbow) in the clouds to serve
as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring
clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will
recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living
beings.”
As is often the case, we have lost sight of the signifi cance of
the rainbow in relation to our faith. Yet it is biblically confi
rmed as a sign from God. Some live in areas where rainbows are
common, and others in areas where they are rare. Regardless, there
is something divine about a rainbow. When you look up in the sky
and see a multi-colored arc looking back at you, you should be fi
lled with wonder. It is a reminder that we live in a world of
wonder, of beauty, of adventure. A rainbow should give us hope that
life really isn’t just about death and taxes, but much, much more.
It is a clue to the meaning of the universe and where we stand
within it. – catholicsteward.com
