ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PARISH
EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS
Padre’s point of view . . .
You may have been watching Pope Francis in his Papal visit to Mexico. He has many great examples of Corporal
and Spiritual Works of Mercy. He visited the prisoners, the poor and has liberated the sinner and the doubtful.
This week we look at “Comfort the Sorrowful.” This is one of the Works of mercy we do very well. Every time
you send flowers, console those grieving at a funeral or visitation, and take a moment to listen to anyone who has
lost a loved one; you do those acts of kindness to Christ Himself. This is amazing. Think of how often you
directly help Jesus in one another.
Fr. Chris will be in the St. Anthony Church office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
He will be in the Sacred Heart Church office on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Lenten Regulations
1. ABSTINENCE – Everyone 14 years of age and over is
bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the
Fridays of Lent.
2. FAST – Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 is required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full
meatless meal is permitted. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according to each
person's needs, but together these two should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but
liquids (including milk and fruit juices) are allowed.
3. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is
seriously sinful.
We will now be offering
support meetings in the
afternoon as well as
evenings. Please see the
schedule to the right.
Grief Support Meetings
Our next meeting will be held on:
Tuesday, February 23trd at 2pm
Tuesday, March 1st at 7pm

Hungering to Give Back
This week, CRS Rice Bowl takes us to Laos, where
Hongkham is using her love of cooking to provide for her
family - and feed an entire school. How do we use our
passions and gifts for the betterment of those we meet?

Second Sunday of Lent
Look at the night sky; don’t pitch a tent.
So many stars! Too many to count. That is the unnumerable number of Abram’s descendants – of which each
of us is a part. God promised then, and promises still today
in covenantal love and mercy to care for us, protect us, and
be our only God. This Lent, let us go looking for descendant stars, people born of Abraham and Sarah and loved by
God. Let us go looking for those who need embracing. Let
us go looking for those who need some special care, some
covenantal kindness, many kind words. Let us look. Then
let us act.
