Mark Dear Community, Usually on the first Friday of Lent we have our Theological Lecture. This year the speaker we wanted was not available until the Second Sunday of Lent. So last Friday we had Stations of the Cross. This Friday Fr. Denis Robinson, OSB, the Rector of St. Meinrad School of Theology will present a Theological Lecture in church on the topic of “The Pilgrim Way.” People have asked me why the speaker is listed as the “Very Rev. Denis Robinson, OSB.” Of course the OSB stands for “Order of St. Benedict.” The term “Very Rev.” is reserved for theology rectors and rectors of cathedrals. So I guess we ever wrote a letter to Fr. Pat Beidelman, we would address it to “The Very Rev. Patrick Beidelman. The term “Most Rev.” is for bishops. And the title “Right Rev.” is for deans like Fr. Wilmoth. Try to make it to a Friday night Fish Fry in the School Cafeteria. Meals are served from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Sincerely, Msgr. Mark This is the 1st Sunday of Lent, and we prepare ourselves for the mysteries of our salvation that we will celebrate in 40 days at Easter. The Stewardship message runs through today’s readings. In the Noah’s Ark saga, God was displeased with mankind’s stewardship of the earth. Mankind was wicked and God decided to destroy both people and animals. Only Noah and his immediate family were spared. God directed Noah to build the ark. Noah is the human being who carries out God’s stewardship plan to keep humanity, animals, plants, and other living things from extinction. God makes a covenant with Noah, because of his righteousness. He tells him, “you alone have I found to be truly just. Noah loaded his family and all the animals onto the ark. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. The flooding killed every living thing upon the earth, and only Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark were saved. When the waters receded, God directed Noah to leave the ark, with his family and the animals and to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. The first thing Noah did was to offer holocausts (burnt offerings) to the Lord from the best of the animals and birds. What a wonderful model of stewardship for us. God saves us from our sin through his death and resurrection. He claims us for himself through the waters of baptism. He works through us today, as he worked through Noah in OT times to bring about his plan of salvation. How do we respond? Hopefully, we will be like Noah, and return to God the first-fruits of our labors. As we begin Lent, we talk about giving back to God our first-fruits through our stewardship of treasure. Stewardship is an act of faith. We believe that God gives us everything, even our very lives. God asks that we return to him a portion of our time, talent, and treasure. The more generous we are, the more the Lord can accomplish through us, and through our parish family at OLG. In Him, Tony Cooper-Stewardship and Development Due to the office closed on President’s Day and deadline for the bulletin to be published the Gifts will be published next week. www.olgreenwood.org 1st SUNDAY OF LENT –CYCLE B February 22, 2015 The 2015 Sanctity of Life Dinner WE ARE PROUD TO BE A BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL School Liturgy The next School Mass will be on Ash Wednesday, February 25th at 8:30am in the Church…...Come and join us!
