     “This week is Ash Wednesday, the day we begin our Lenten pilgrimage to Easter. I like the description of Lent as a pilgrimage, and not just because I will be making a physical pilgrimage after Easter. Lent is a spiritual pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is a setting off for a holy place. The ‘place’ we are headed toward in Lent is that Holy Encounter with The Resurrected Christ. Sometimes, especially in our modern world, we need time to get to where we are going. We have 40 days to travel this spiritual road. (I’ll have about 40 days to travel the 500 miles of the Camino of St. James.) Without the time to prepare adequately, we might just miss what God has in mind for us. Will we pause and listen? Will we take the time for prayer and reflection? And while this spiritual journey is a solo journey, we undertake it together. Let us set off to seek the Holy - Our Lord Jesus Christ.”...Fr. Dave

Question of the Week – Who really is the master of your life?

PSR News – Because Osage R-1 School is scheduling a full day of school (no longer dismissing at 1:00) on Wednesday, March 12, PSR classes will be held that day. 

Profess, Proclaim and Celebrate Our Faith Campaign – As our Profess, Proclaim and Celebrate Our Faith campaign continues, many of our parishioners have already indicated their willingness to increase their weekly offerings, making their gift from its substance and not merely one of convenience or from its surplus.  When our parish began this Profess, Proclaim and Celebrate Our Faith campaign, we recognized that participation would be based upon equal sacrifice, not equal giving.  We cannot ask everyone to consider the same level of church support, but we ask that everyone let their offering reflect how generous God has been to them with His gifts.  Please remember to use your special commitment card to indicate your response to our Profess, Proclaim and Celebrate Our Faith campaign.  If you did not receive a mailing, contact the parish office.

 

 

Lent Faith Opportunities
Rice Bowl – Our parish will be participating in Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten program, Rice Bowl, as a way to encounter Jesus through others, especially through the most vulnerable in our world.  Rice Bowls are available in back of church.  Please be sure to take home a Rice Bowl and use this fun and easy resource to deepen your family’s Lenten experience and make a difference in the lives of the poor.

Lenten Regulations – Just a gentle reminder that during Lent we are called to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday & all Fridays during Lent.  Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are also days of fasting.

Bishop’s Lenten Pastoral Letter Dear Fellow Pilgrims, There is no doubt that Pope Francis has refocused the whole world’s attention on the need to assist our brothers and sisters in poverty across the globe.  Now, Lent allows us as Catholics to again lead the way by our acts of penance and charity beginning this Ash Wednesday, March 5th.  Whether we live in Italy or Argentina, Kahoka or Marceline, a senior citizen facility or a high school, we are all called this Lent to bear witness by praying, fasting and giving to the poor.  As the Bishop of Rome has written, “Let us not forget that real poverty hurts, no self denial is real without this dimension of penance.  I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.”  Operation Rice Bowl is a wonderful opportunity for us to unite in our acts of charity to assist our brothers and sisters globally.  I urge each household to make a serious effort to use this tool this Lent.  The Stations of the Cross is another fine way to walk with Our Lord during these Lenten days as we consider His passion and deepen our spiritual life.  Finally, let me assure you of my daily prayers during this Lent, and I ask you to pray for me that I will reflect the role of a Good Shepherd in your midst.  May Our Lady, Mother of Sorrows assist us with her loving care.  With my best wishes and personal regards, I am Sincerely yours in Christ…Most Reverend John R. Gaydos, Bishop of Jefferson City

 

Daylight Savings Time begins early next Sunday morning (March 9).  Be sure to set clocks forward one hour before going to bed Saturday night!
