Our Lady of Peace Church — Pledges to Date: $279,801.25 ADA Goal: $262,817

Thank you for helping our parish reach is pledge goals during the 2016 ADA! Every dollar received over our ADA goal is returned to the parish. We are each called by the love of God to accept the responsibility for the work of the Parish, the Diocese and Bishop McGrath—made possible by following Jesus and faithfully supporting those who need our help. Please share a portion of your blessings.

“The measure of your own free-will offering shall be in proportion to the blessings of the Lord, your God, has bestowed on you...No one shall appear before the Lord empty handed, but each of you with as much as he can give, in proportion to the blessings which the Lord, God has bestowed on you.” (Dt. 16:10,16-17)

“Do not lay up for yourselves an earthly treasure. Moths and rust corrode; thieves break in and steal. May it your practice instead to store up heavenly treasure which neither moths nor rust corrode nor thieves break in and steal. Remember, where your treasure is, there your heart is also. No man can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other or be attentive to one and despise the other. You cannot give yourself to God and money. I warn you, then; do not worry about your livelihood, what you are to eat or drink or use for clothing. Is not life more than food? Is not the body more valuable than clothes? The unbelievers are al- ways running after these things. Your heavenly Father knows all that you need. Seek first his Kingship over you, His way of holiness and all these things will be given you besides. Enough, then of worrying about to- morrow. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Today has troubles enough of its own.” (Matt. 6:19,24-25,32-34)

Week 5 of Lent

Then a voice came from the sky: "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." (John 12:28)

Reflection: Prayer to be Freed of the Seven Deadly Sins

O meek Savior and Prince of Peace, implant in me the virtues of gentleness and patience. Let me curb the fury of anger and restrain all resentment and impatience so as to overcome evil with good, attain your peace, and rejoice in your love.

O Model of humility, divest me of all pride and arrogance. Let me acknowledge my weakness and sinfulness, so that I may bear mockery and contempt for your sake and esteem myself as lowly in your sight.

O Teacher of abstinence, help me to serve you rather than our appetites. Keep me from gluttony - the inordinate love of food and drink and let me hunger and thirst for your justice.

O Lover of purity, remove all lust from my heart, so that I may serve you with a pure mind and a chaste body.

O Father of the poor, help me to avoid all covetousness for earthly goods and give me a love for heavenly things. Inspire me to give to the needy, just as you gave your life that I might inherit eternal treasures.

O Exemplar of love, keep me from all envy and ill-will. Let the grace of your love dwell in me that I may rejoice in the happi- ness of others and bewail their adversities.

O zealous Lover of souls, keep me from all sloth of mind or body. Inspire me with zeal for your glory, so that I may do all things for you and in you.

Lenten Action: Passiontide is the last two weeks of Lent, when the readings and prayers of the liturgy focus on the Passion of Our Lord. The word 'passion', in the Christian sense, does not mean an intense emotion; it refers to the historical events of Jesus' suffering and death. Although for several centuries the Fifth Sunday of Lent was known as Passion Sunday, after the Second Vatican Council this name was restored to the Sunday at beginning of Holy Week , formerly called Palm Sunday. As a penitential season of the Church, Passiontide is evidently even more ancient than Lent.

Lenten Action: Reach out to someone who is alienated from your group.

Prayer: Father, help us keep in mind that Christ our Savior lives with you in glory and promised to remain with us until the end of time. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Why Teenagers Rebel

“THE MOOD TODAY IS TO GIVE UP on teenag- ers.

Youth has higher aspirations than adults generally suspect, but adults do not challenge these aspira- tions, nor lead them to the heights. The young peo- ple today have a spirit of sacrifice and a readiness for surrender which has been untapped. The Com- munists, the Nazis and the Fascists in the last gener- ation knew how to appeal to the sacrificial spirit in youth. Youth is sick and tired of a milk and water liberalism which calls for no self-denial. But the elders fail to awaken that latent spirit.

Can an alcoholic father ever convince his teenage son to be temperate? Can a mother who has been divorced three times ever tell her teenage daughter that she must always be true to her word? Why not? Because reverence for a precept depends on reverence for the one who gives the precept. A teenager instinctively knows that if parents do not recognize any authority over him, then by what right do the parents command?

Teenagers do not ever state this clearly; they do not even know the instinctive reasons why they re- bel against their parents; but like little cogs, they rebel against the big cogs who refuse to do as they should. The fourth commandment of God which is “Honor thy father and thy mother” is the link between the first three which relate to our duties to God, and the last six which relate to our duties as neighbors. From this commandment follows this truth: Parents who honor God always find it easy to train their children to honor them, the parents; children who honor their parents always find it easy to honor their Heavenly Father. Juvenile delinquency will diminish when parents learn that God is not a swear word.”
