Prayer for Priests

Care and Share 2015

O Jesus, Eternal Priest, look down with love

upon Thy priests. Fill them with burning zeal
for the conversion of sinners. Keep them within
the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart. Keep unstained their anointed hands. which daily touch
Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips purpled with Thy precious Blood. Keep pure and
unearthly their hearts sealed with the sublime
marks of Thy glorious Priesthood. Let Thy holy
love protect them from the world's contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may
the souls to whom they minister on earth be one
day their joy and consolation in heaven. Amen.

One of the easiest and most helpful ways to support Care and Share is through Automatic Monthly Withdrawal from your checking account (EFT
electronic funds transfer). Hundreds of parishioners utilize this convenient way of making their
gifts in support of our Catholic Church. Monthly
donors receive an annual contribution statement
that can be used for tax purposes. The Care and
Share donation envelope offers this option. Also,
you can give safely and securely via credit card to
Care and Share at
www.CatholicFoundationMT.org. Thank you for
supporting Care and Share!

Good Friday
With your donations Holy Land Franciscans
are able to
Support Christians in the Holy Land.
Thank you for your generosity.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

Pope Francis Prayer Intentions

MARCH
Universal: Scientists
That those involved in scientific research may serve
the well-being of the whole human person.
Evangelization: Contr ibution of women

Operation Rice Bowl

Option for the Poor4th Sunday of Lent
Jesus tells us to care for those who are most in need
in the world. He reminds us of our Christina duty to
give a voice to those who go unheard and to help
those who are most vulnerable.

That the unique contribution of women to the life of

the Church may be recognized always.

Stewardship Thoughts
Lenten ThoughtsThe bronze serpent be-

March 15, 2015 - 4th Sunday of Lent

came for the Israelites a symbol of hope, one they

could look to for healing. In the same way, the risen
Christ becomes that same hope for us.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only

Son..." - John 3:16

Are we symbols of hope for those who live in difficult situations, especially the poorest of the poor?

Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us,

the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can
we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not
ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He
does ask that we be generous in making some sacrifices for Him.
