Stewardship Moment February 23, 2020 – 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” MATTHEW 5:44
Love your enemies, easier said than done, no doubt. But, remember, the foundation of stewardship is prayer. When we are in close commu-nication with God, it opens our heart and it turns our attention away
from “me” and moves it towards God and others. It allows us to have a little more empathy for “our enemy”. When we pray for others, even “our enemies”, maybe it softens their hearts as well.

It’s not too late to join us! Alpha is beginning Sunday, Feb. 23,
5:30 pm supper St. Cecilia’s Dining Room
Alpha: What to Expect
A typical Alpha—No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three things in common: food, a talk and good conversation.
Food—Whether it’s a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table, or a quick catch-up over coffee and cake, food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha. We start with food, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.
Talk– The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally thirty minutes long. They explore the big issues around faith, and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?
Discussion- Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simp-ly discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.

Lent begins February 26th
WHAT SHOULD I GIVE UP FOR LENT?
Lent is the perfect time to form new life-giving habits and abandon old self-destructive habits. But most of us just give up chocolate. Then when Easter arrives, we realize we really haven’t grown spiritually since the beginning of Lent.
Giving things up can help us to have a meaningful Lent, but that’s not what Lent is really all about. Lent is about doing something—something bold to become a better husband or wife, father or mother, son or daughter, friend, neighbor, etc. What if this year you did more than just give up something during Lent? Do something life-changing. Sign up for Dynamic Catholic’s BEST LENT EVER at dynamiccatholic.com
What Is BEST LENT EVER? It's a free email program that will guide you on an incredible journey toward the-best-version-of-yourself. From Ash Wednesday to Easter, you’ll discover ways to transform your life in forty days.
Every life has its dark and cheerful hours.
Happiness comes from choosing which to remember.

Safe Haven Sunday— Equipping the Family: Having Critical Conversations
The constant flood of influence that comes through the internet and social media in all of its various forms, along with social pressures from peers make it difficult for children to live virtuous and holy lives. In the digital age, it’s not a matter of if your child will see something inappropriate online. It’s only a matter of when. And regrettably, internet pornography is teaching our children how and what to think about sex and marriage. Next weekend, February 29-March 1st, the Fargo Diocese will be observing our second annual Safe Haven Sunday. This weekend of awareness will provide free resources to you to give you confidence for how to talk to your children about internet dangers, as well as their personal online and offline choices.
Have you struggled with deep hurts from your past? How does one move on in life?
