    In Their Own Hands CRS 2030 STRATEGY VIETNAM Photo by Lisa Murray for CRS ‘Solidarity ... is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. It is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good … to the good of all and of each individual.’ SOLLICITUDO REI SOCIALIS #38 2 CRS VISION 2030 STRATEGY A Message From Our President & CEO At Catholic Relief Services, we are dedicated to putting our faith into action to do whatever it takes to build a world in which all people reach their full human potential in the context of just and peaceful societies. We have a vision for a world that respects the sacredness and dignity of the human person and the integrity of all of God’s creation. Our mission is a faith-filled call to serve others—based on need, not creed, race or nationality—as taught in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, prioritizing the most vulnerable and marginalized among us. I am proud of CRS’ 75 years of global solidarity and service to our sisters and brothers around the world. From responding to the humanitarian needs of migrants and refugees during World War II to programs and services that today reach over 130 million people across 110 countries, our enduring mission inspires and guides us. In our new strategy, we look to the evolving needs and opportunities of the people we serve and their local institutions, and challenge ourselves to be bolder and more ambitious in our aspirations to not only catalyze transformational change to combat poverty, injustice and violence, but to achieve these results at greater scale.

This people which God has chosen and called is the Church.” — Pope Francis, #113 Evangelii Gaudium 2 WEEK ONE XXXXX Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Put simply, the reflections found in this book are an effort to provide the tools necessary to create a prayerful community of faith and support — and if you’re using them to that end, then you’re using this book correctly.

Scripture passages that shed light on issues of What is Lent? Catholic social teaching, guided reflection questions, hands-on activities and Lent is forty days of calls to action are some of the staple components of the following reflections, opportunity to slow down but feel free to tailor each to fit the needs of your community. and take account of our There are a lot more resources to be found online — visit crsricebowl.org to lives: who we are, what find additional materials that will bring your Lenten journey to life, and visit we’re about and where university.crs.org to discover new ways to engage your campus community we’re going.

To interrupt His Yellow Plan The Sun does not allow Caprices of the Atmosphere – And even when the Snow Heaves Balls of Specks, like Vicious Boy Directly in His Eye – Does not so much as turn His Head Busy with Majesty – ‘Tis His to stimulate the Earth And magnetize the Sea - And bind Astronomy, in place, Yet Any passing by Would deem Ourselves – the busier As the Minutest Bee That rides – emits a Thunder – A Bomb – to justify Emily Dickinson (poem 224. c. 1862) Since people are by nature poorly equipped to register any but short-term changes, it is not surprising that we fail to notice slower changes in either climate or the sun. John A. Eddy, The New Solar Physics (1977-78) Foreword By E. N. Parker In this time of global warming we are impelled by both the anticipated dire consequences and by scientific curiosity to investigate the factors that drive the climate. Climate has fluctuated strongly and abruptly in the past, with ice ages and interglacial warming as the long term extremes. Historical research in the last decades has shown short term climatic transients to be a frequent occurrence, often imposing disastrous hardship on the afflicted human populations.
