A note from Fr. Doug...

Dear Parishioners,

How is the 1% of your day for prayer going? How is reflecting on the daily gospel working for you? In our Lent bulletin/newsletter, I really challenged everyone to spend 1% of your day, 14 minutes and 24 seconds, with the daily gospel. There are purple 1% Challenge cards in church, or you can cut them out from the bulletin (on the cover this week). Note the daily scripture passages of the gospel is on one side of the card. To find the readings, you can use your own bible, a daily hard copy (such as "Living With Christ", or electronic access (from our parish app or the US bishops website usccb.org). Then, following the instructions on the other side of the card, prepare, read (2 or 3 times), reflect (word, phrase, image), respond (what might God be asking of me?) and rest (just be with God) spending the 1% of your day with God. My hope is to have everyone praying from the word of God, to affirm those who already use scriptures in their daily prayer, and to encourage others to try it for this Lent. I challenge you spend 1% of your day in the bible and to pray over the daily gospel. What was your word, phrase, and insight from your prayer?

Fasting is a part of Lent. An insight that may help in fasting is to “fast with a purpose.” To fast from something (chocolate, ice cream, electronic media...) and to fast for something (give a donation so that others may eat, make time to pray...) and to realize this in our actions and choices as well. For example, I fasted this Ash Wednesday from placing ashes in the firm sign of the cross on each person's forehead. I fasted for this past Wednesday for all parishioners to be safe from the fear of spreading the COVID virus by touching multiple foreheads. I realize that some people had concerns about this change and really wanted the traditional cross on the forehead. I think it helps us to identify when we are fasting from something and for something.

Other Lent concerns were about why parishioners could not attend the school Masses and why all the parish Masses were held at the Grand church site. In order to maintain social distance in church and not restrict attendance to advanced registration or to turn people away at the door, we offered more Masses this Ash Wednesday, limited the school Masses to just the students, and held all of our parish Masses at the Grand site (where we set up to accommodate for higher attendance with overflow seating in the social hall). Fortunately, we were able to fit everyone in safely for all of our Masses and did not use the overflow seating. Thank you to all who helped with our many Ash Wednesday services.

This Lent will be unlike our past Lents, because of the pandemic that we currently live in. I find myself, and encourage you, to fast from complaining about what we can not do, and fast for what new insights God has in store for us.

Happy Lent,

Fr. Doug

P.S. This is "Temptation Sunday." The first Sunday of Lent is the gospel of the temptation of Jesus in the desert. Note that the gospel of Mark is very brief in details about the temptation and the end of the gospel is referenced by the three mysteries of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary.

A note from Fr. Ben...

Hello everyone! For this week’s mini-lesson from Stuff I Learned in Seminary, I wanted to present something that connects to another big focus for our parish this weekend: the Bishop’s Appeal. And no, this is not some marketing tactic, though it is perhaps corny :) but my hope is that this tidbit will help foster an appreciation for the function of the diocese and of course, our bishop. Without further ado, this is Part 9: The Universal Church.

The Universal Church is the Body of Christ, the community We still need your support for of believers united throughout time and space. The One, our parish ministry Holy, catholic, Apostolic Church which Christ instituted around two thousand years ago is alive and well today, and We are aware that your finances may be challenged we are a part of it. This Church was built on the foundation in the weeks ahead. However, we do need your of Peter, just as Christ willed, and it has grown to become continued financial support to provide ongoing ministries and parish operations. quite the family, with its members more numerous than the stars in the sky.

St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Manitowoc February 21, 2021 ♦ page 6

Of the three marks of Lent — prayer, fasting and almsgiving — almsgiving is surely the most neglected. Why the emphasis on almsgiving rather than that of prayer and fasting? Because almsgiving is prayer, and it involves fasting. Almsgiving is a form of prayer because it is "giving to God" — and not mere philanthropy. It is a form of fasting because it demands sacrificial giving — not just giving something, but giving up something.

This year, our parish will be collecting our Lenten “Coins of Compassion” alms for three charities. One that helps our community here in Manitowoc, one that reaches out to our brothers and sisters in the Delta of Mississippi, and finally, one that reaches out to our brothers and sisters around the world by supporting the poor, hungry, and homeless in far away lands.

The three charities are: SFA Good Shepherd Fund, St. Francis of Assisi Parish Mission and School in Greenwood, MS, and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl Project.

Each week, our parish will actively offer up our alms for each of these organizations. Please watch the bulletin for more details and information on each organization.
