In his encyclical Laudato Si, Pope Francis reminds us that human life is grounded in three fundamental relationships - with God, with our neighbor, and with the earth itself. (LS 66) This Lent let us strengthen, repair, and restore these relationships through prayer, increased awareness of the plight of the poor, and active response to the cry of the earth itself. Outlined below are weekly themes to be followed until Easter. The Mass readings for each Sunday are listed, along with stewardship action items for each week. These can be done by families, school groups, religious education classes or individuals. If you miss a week, it’s okay! Just pick up where you left off. Every act of goodness counts and together we can make a big difference!
