Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, Eternal Priest, look down with love
upon Thy priests. Fill them with burning zeal
for the conversion of sinners. Keep them within
the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart. Keep unstained their anointed hands. which daily touch
Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips purpled with Thy precious Blood. Keep pure and
unearthly their hearts sealed with the sublime
marks of Thy glorious Priesthood. Let Thy holy
love protect them from the world's contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may
the souls to whom they minister on earth be one
day their joy and consolation in heaven. Amen.

Care and Share 2015

Why do we need the ministries of the Diocese supported by Care and Share?
The Catholic Church serves the needs of many people in our diocese, country and the world. While
several of these services are offered at the parish level, it is often more effective when we join together in
ministries and service for all our diocese. Each diocesan ministry exists to support and further the work
of our local parishes.

Year of Consecrated Life 2015

Scripture Readings

Mar. 10Dn 3: 25, 34-43, Ps 25: 4-5b, 7bc, 8-9,
Mt 18: 21-35

Consecrated life is prophecy. God asks us to fly the

nest and to be sent to the frontiers of the world,
avoiding the temptation to 'domesticate'
them. This is the most
concrete way of imitating the Lord.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

Stewardship Thoughts
March 8, 2015 - 3rd Sunday of Lent
"You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape
of anything..." - Exodus 20:4

How many "gods" do you put before God? "Idols"

do not always take the shape of physical things,
things we can touch and feel. Those are easy to recognize. Many times they take the form of things we
cannot touch and are much harder to spot - pride,
power, ego, comfort or health.
