THOUGHTS ON REPENTANCE
REPENTANCE There is no thirst of the soul so consuming as the desire for pardon. 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.

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.

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.
