Make this a part of your Lenten Journey

“Bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God.” For the early

Christians this could mean torture and execution. For most Christians today, enduring hardship for the gospel might include accepting

ridicule or mockery, or the suggestion that we lack

sophistication.

A Stewardship Thought

Entrance AntiphonRemember your compassion, O Lord, and your merciful love,

for they are from of old.Let not our enemies exult over

us. Redeem us, O God of Israel, from all our distress.

(Cf. Psalm 25 (24):6, 2, 22)

“Love God. Serve God.

Everything is in that.”

St. Clare of Assisi

Reading from Today’s Mass Bear your share of hardship for

the gospel with the strength that comes from God.

He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our

works but according to his own design.

2 Timothy 1:8b-10
