The sense of its bestowal is the starting point of all goodness. It brings with it, if not the freshness of innocence, still a glow of inspiration that nerves feeble hands for hard tasks, a fire of hope that lights anew the old high ideal, so that it stands before the eye in clear relief, beckoning us to make it our own. To be able to look into God's face and know with the knowledge of faith that there is nothing between the soul and Him is to experience the fullest peace the soul can know. Whatever else pardon may be, it is above all things admission into full fellowship with God. MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT PUB NIGHTS FOR COUPLES COUPLES WITH FRANTIC FAMILIES Enjoy a date night with faith, food and fun, door prizes, merchandise, and a draw for hockey tickets to help with a future date night. See the Canucks on TV at Jimy Mac's Neighbourhood Pub in Langley and be inspired by our speakers during intermissions. On Tue, Mar 3, watch the Canucks host the Sharks and hear Archbishop Miller speak on "Keeping on top of your game." On Tue, Mar 24, watch the Canucks host the Jets and hear Dominic and Lisa Price speak on "Teaming up for a joy-filled marriage." On Easter Monday, Apr 6, watch the Canucks host the Kings and hear Greg and Lesley Dumas speak on "Keeping the spark alive." FREE (on condition husband takes wife on a date!) Registration required: rcav.org/marriage-enrichment-pub-nights/ TEMPTED BY SATAN, GUARDED GUARDED BY GOD Satan tempted Christ, and we too are tempted by the devil. The only difference between now and Biblical or ancient times is that the devil has updated his tactics. Take all those "Ism's" you run into today. There's secularism, the idea that worldly are more important than spiritual concerns, by which the devil tells us not to listen to the church about how to live our lives. Or try individualism, where the devil encourages us to be self-centered, loving that "I-don't -care- about-anyone" attitude. The god of greed also offers us materialism, a never-ending pursuit of wealth. And, consumerism instructs us where to spend our money, on the latest and newest, certainly not in God's house. So the next time you think Satan isn't alive and tempting, take a look around and think again. SECULAR CARMELITE Half Day of Recollection on next Sat, Feb 28, 9.00 -12 noon at All Saints Church.

Call Helen 604-468-8411/ Susan 604-931-3135 1ST SUNDAY OF LENT STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION “After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God….” – Mark 1:14 Do you ever think about how difficult it must have been for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching the same message that Jesus was proclaiming. It must have taken great love and trust for Jesus to do what the Father had sent Him here on earth to do. In the same way, following a life of stewardship takes great love and trust from us. We must be willing to surrender completely to God, trusting that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us. For more information, please refer to www.rcav.org/stewardship ININ-LAWS, OUTLAWS, AND AND OTHER PEOPLE (THAT SHOULD BE SHOT) Our Regional High School, Archbishop Carney Secondary (ACRSS) proudly presents the family friendly comedy at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam. It is 7.00 pm and the Douglas family is busily preparing for Christmas dinner. (Yes, it's a Christmas play in March!) They are about to be invaded by their quirky relatives who will share in the festivities. After robbing a neighbourhood liquor store, two robbers find themselves in need of a place to briefly hide out and gain entrance to the Douglas home. They suddenly find themselves in charge of an evergrowing list of hostages, including family members, smart-alecky teenagers, nosy neighbors, and bickering adults. As the lines blur, one wonders who is holding who hostage?! This play features outrageous characters, laugh-a-minute-dialogue, and a surprise, heartfelt ending that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. The show runs from Thu, Mar 5, to Sat, Mar 7 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $15.00 and it is reserved seating. For more information, please contact [email protected] or call 604-942-7465.
