Give us this day our daily bread. For most of us, this is not our most pressing daily concern. We will not wonder what we will find to eat or where we will sleep tonight. One of the best expressions of gratitude that we can show for all blessings that we enjoy each day form God's providential hand is to share our "bread" with those who do not have enough of their own. Please consider becoming a supporter of the Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal. Together we can make a difference right here at home. Return your pledges in the provided envelopes.

Experience part of your Lenten and Easter faith journey by participating in seven ses-sions of "Jesus and the Eucharist," produced by the Eucharistic Revival and shown for the first time last spring. This masterful video series is modern and engaging and presented by well known clergy and lay ministers who teach and inspire. Ordinary folks also share their faith experiences. General Kevin Chilton, an astronaut, even shares how his Catholic faith was deepened by space travel! There are also periodic breaks to share small group thoughts and insights. Please consider signing up in the Narthex next weekend February 22/23. One of the best fasts we can choose in Lent is a personal time fast to grow closer to the Lord. We will skip Holy Week.
