"The WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart": 1st Sunday of Lent

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

"The priest shall receive the basket from you 
and shall set it in front of the altar of the LORD, your God
.”
Almsgiving:
·     Money or food to the poor
·     St. John Vianney: I give all my money to the poor and God’s Church
Let’s go with Mass to start
·     Bread, wine and water
·     In our culture, and other cultures
Then, what about your budget?
·     Tithes, several times in the Old Testament = 10%
·     Can you give that?
·     If not, how can your budget grow via almsgivings, via serving the poor
Finally, some practical support for Lent:
·     Supporting:
o  Food Shelf
o  Operation Rice Bowl
o  Salvation Army
o  Budget: Historical debt for our UCA
o  Roof which is leaking

o  Students and families for our school, teachers
