Faithful Citizenship “The attainment of peace depends above

all on recognizing that we are, in God, one human family. … thoughts, words and gestures of peace create a mentality and a culture of peace, and a respectful, honest and cordial atmosphere. There is a need, then, to teach people to love one another, to cultivate peace and to live with good will rather than mere tolerance. A fundamental encouragement to this is to say no to revenge, to recognize injustices, to accept apologies without looking for them, and finally, to forgive, in such a way that mistakes and offenses can be acknowledged in truth, so as to move forward together towards reconciliation.” Pope Benedict XVI, World Day of Peace, January 1, 2013, www.usccb.org From: Diocesan Social Justice Commission

== The “Z” Gram == --- Notes From Father Bill --

This is the BIG week for Communal Penance Services in our area. On Monday, at Blessed Sacrament Church, Tuesday at the Cathedral, Wednesday at St. Therese, Thursday at New Underwood we will have a Communal Penance Service. They all begin at 7 pm. On Friday, March 15, at the Cathedral, confessions will be heard from 7:30 am to 9 pm. These services are a great way to prepare ourselves to put into practice the words that we heard on Ash Wednesday when ashes were placed on our foreheads, “Repent and believe in the Gospels.” Also, please remember Father Reuben Valades, a priest of our diocese, who passed away March 6, 2013.

THE WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

A blonde goes to a restaurant, buys a cup of coffee and sits down to drink it. She looks on the side of her cup and finds a peel-off prize. She

pulls off the tab and yells, "I WON! I WON! I WON a motorhome, I WON a motorhome!" The waitress runs over and says, "That’s

impossible. The biggest prize given away was a Mini-Van!" The blonde replies, "NO. I WON a motorhome, I WON a motorhome!" By this time the manager makes his way over to the table and says, "You couldn't

possibly have won a motorhome because we didn't have that as a prize!" Again the blonde says, "No, no mistake, I WON a motorhome, I

WON a motorhome!" The blonde hands the prize ticket to the manager and he reads: "WIN A BAGEL".

Come on down! Everyone welcome!

The stewardship message in the parable of the Prodigal Son is that it is never too late to become a good steward. Blessed is the elder brother who had been a good steward all along, but blessed, too, is the prodigal who had to lose all he had in order to understand the value of what he’d been given.

ONE MORE WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

One day a man goes to a pet shop to buy a parrot. The assistant takes the man to the parrot section and asks the man to choose one. The man asks, ''How much is the yellow one?'' The assistant says, ''$2000.'' The man is shocked and asks the assistant why it's so expensive. The assistant explains, ''This parrot is a very special one. He knows typewriting and can type really fast.'' ''What about the green one?'' the man asks. The assistant says, ''He costs $5000 because he knows typewriting and can answer incoming telephone calls and takes notes.'' ''What about the red one?'' the man asks. The assistant says, ''That one's $10,000.'' The man says, ''What does HE do?'' The assistant says, ''I don't know, but the other two call him boss.''
