SATURDAY AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY
Take the fast track to hunger awareness
Fasting is a spiritual discipline to which we are called during Lent. It not only helps us become more aware of our dependency on God but also aware of those who experience hunger on a regular basis. The U.S.D.A. estimates that tens of millions of Americans are in that very situation. “It is unacceptable,” says Catholic Charities USA, “in a nation as bountiful as ours that children, adults, and senior citizens experience food insecurity that puts their physical, mental, and developmental health at risk.” Contact your local office of Catholic Charities, Food for the Poor, or a food pantry or soup kitchen to see how you can be part of the solution. CatholicCharitiesUSA.org can help you get started.TODAY’S READINGS: Isaiah 58:9b-14; Luke 5:27-32 (222)
“If you bestow your bread on the hungry . . . then light shall rise for you in the darkness.”

Please no anonymous comments. I require at least some way for people to address each other personally and courteously. Having some name or handle helps.
