In the corporal works of mercy we touch the
flesh of Christ in our brothers and sisters who
need to be fed, clothed, sheltered, visited; in
the spiritual works of mercy – counsel,
instruction, forgiveness, admonishment and
prayer – we touch more directly our own
sinfulness. The corporal and spiritual works of
mercy must never be separated. By touching
the flesh of the crucified Jesus in the suffering,
sinners can receive the gift of realizing that
they too are poor and in need.

“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least
brothers of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40). Today, we are
reminded that Jesus identified himself with our poorest
brothers and sisters. The Catholic Relief Services Collection
serves Jesus in the victims of human trafficking, those who
suffer from unjust laws, and those who need pastoral care and
humanitarian assistance across the globe. Through supporting
today’s collection, you help Jesus in disguise. Please be
generous.

Dear Friends,
FOURTH WEEK OF LENT: HUNGERING TO LEARN
We journey with CRS Rice Bowl to the Central
American country of Honduras, where we meet
students who are learning that it’s better to help
your neighbor learn and grow than to leave him
or her behind. To whom are we called to extend
a hand this week? Visit crsricebowl.org for more
As my time in New York has come to a close, I
am looking forward to being back with you
soon. In fact, I will be at Mass on Saturday,
March 12 and Sunday, March 13 We will be able
to experience the remaining weeks of Lent
together as we approach the coming joy of Easter.
I know there will be lots to catch up on, but
during my absence I have tried to stay in touch
with the parish through the Bulletin, the minutes
of parish group meetings and conversations with
Deacon Greg.
You are in my prayers every day, and I am happy
to now be able to say that I will see you soon.
Father Maurice
