Lent confronts us with
contrasting images of water and
desert. Both are powerful signs
of God’s covenant with us.
Jesus began his ministry by
being baptized in the Jordan and
driven into the desert. We, too,
have passed through the waters of baptism and our
own deserts of struggle and discernment. When God
makes a covenant with people, things happen! What
is God’s covenant with us calling us to do?

Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me

RCIA RITE OF SENDING
Today at the 8:00 a.m. Mass we
will celebrate the “Rite of
Sending” with our catechumens:
Patricia Beilsmith,
Brian Murphy, Ashley Wigle,
who are preparing for Baptism,
and with our candidates who are already baptized.
They are: Michael Adams, Eric Greenwald,
Tim Hays, Judy Hooley, Steven Smith,
Dennis Taylor, Amy Turnbull, Larry Wienhoff,
Wilma Wilcox, Andrew Wood.
The Church has discerned their readiness for
reception into the Catholic Church at Easter. After
these rites are celebrated here this morning, these
catechumens and candidates, along with their
godparents and sponsors, will be sent by our parish
to the bishop for the “Rite of Election and Call to
Continuing Conversion.” Bishop John Gaydos will
declare the catechumens to be “elect,” chosen by God
for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and
Eucharist at Easter. The bishop also recognizes the
desire of the baptized candidates for the
sacraments of Confirmation and
Eucharist within the Catholic
community. Please continue to pray for
all those in the RCIA process as they
continue on their journey of faith into the Catholic
Church.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On Ash Wednesday, we embarked once again on a solemn journey through these forty days of Lent.
As we hear in the Gospel for this First Sunday of Lent, Jesus was driven by the Spirit into the desert to be
tempted. The Spirit prompts us to go along with him, to face our own temptations and conquer them with
help of God’s grace. Pope Francis points out that one of the biggest temptations to be overcome is an attitude of indifference. If things are going well for us, there is a tendency to forget about our need for God, and
to lose touch with those who are suffering. The Lord was never indifferent toward his Father or to the struggles of humanity. The Lenten ascetical practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving help us to imitate Christ
in this way, by turning our focus back to love of God and our neighbor.
I wish to assure you and your family of my prayerful support during these days of Lent, and invite you to
pray with me for the return of those who have drifted away from the faith. It is my hope that all of us will
take the opportunity to experience the tender forgiveness of God this Lent, and be renewed in heart and soul.
With my best wishes and personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend John R. Gaydos
Bishop of Jefferson City
LENT...40 DAYS OF AWAKENING
Plant a tree, bush, or a prairie.
Make someone laugh. Say,
“I’m sorry” ...Mean it. Try not
to waste anything for one whole day.
Join neighbors in a clean-up project.
Send a crocus to someone from whom
you are estranged. Share with someone how you pray.
Read “Mountains Beyond Mountains” or “Half the Sky” during Lent. Call someone
who is lonely. Help without being asked. Resist trying to be the center of attention.
Be a shoulder to cry on. Go to a lecture, hear a concert, see a play. Be patient with
others. Refuse to gossip. Refuse to whine. Readily forgive anyone who hurts you.
Surprise yourself. Make sure your financial investments are socially responsible.
If you love someone, say so. Advocate on behalf of social issue such as affordable
housing. Thank God for the gift of life. Pray for a friend. Pray for an enemy.
Find out what a dollar will buy in Peru or Zambia. Visit a shut-in. Give away all
your “extras.” Listen to understand others point of view. Visit a church you pass
regularly. Examine your conscience. Be a peacemaker at work. Spend silent time
alone. Ask God to do what is best for the public person you dislike most.
Affirm colleagues’ work. Refuse to judge
or categorize others. Be a sign of hope for
someone who is depressed. Recognize the
truth about yourself - no matter how good
it is. Imagine peace. Talk with a person
a generation older or younger.
Love a little more.
