The growing parish of Good Shepherd Church in Alexandria can look forward to new places to worship and pass along the Catholic faith in about a year, after breaking ground on a significant construction project. bit.ly/40JTYG4

Today’s Feast reminds us not to despair when we have a heavy cross to carry. With faith, see it as a way to unite yourself more closely to the sufferings of Jesus; to grow in holiness; and to rely on the strength God provides. By his holy cross, Christ has redeemed the world!

⁦@GoodShepherdCC⁩ parishioners’ donations of food remind us we cannot approach the table of the Lord to be fed by Jesus in the Eucharist unless we also feed our neighbors who are hungry for the food they need to feed themselves and their families! ⁦@CCDArlington⁩

At times, we can feel insignificant and even forgotten in this big world of ours. However, that will never be the case with the Lord, who reassures us: “I will never forget you.” Be sure never “to forget” to include him in every aspect of your life. He is gracious to all!

"No matter how dire the situation is in Ukraine and Russia, we believe in the power of God to transform hearts and to bring an end to the violence we are witnessing at this moment in time." - @BishopBurbidge, Mass for the Annunciation & Consecration to the Immaculate Heart

During these challenging and unsettling times, may we repeat confidently the words of Saint Patrick: “I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me; God‘s might to uphold me; God‘s wisdom to guide me; God‘s hand to guard me; and God’s shield to protect me.”

In the midst of the conflict and unrest in our world, we can offer our help. This includes our prayers and fasting for peace. We may also offer our crosses for those in Ukraine who are experiencing so much suffering at this time. We do all this with faith in God’s saving power.

Even the smallest person can make a difference feeding hungry neighbors. Here four-year-old Lainey Greksouk, shown her with her uncle - and pastor - @FrTomFerguson, brings her food donation to last weekend's St. Lucy Food Project food drive at @GoodShepherdCC.

On his feast day, may we repeat the prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas: “Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen “
