“Not as man sees does God see, because man sees
the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7
How often do we invest our time, talent and treasure
in creating an appearance that does not matter at all
to God?
We strive to impress with our clothing, home, career,
possessions, car and other marks of distinction.
But none of these illusions of greatness will impress
God.
Instead, He will look into our hearts to see how
much we loved Him, how much we loved others and
how we showed that love by the way we used our
time, talents and treasure here on earth.

Parish Budget and Mass Schedule Meeting
Wednesday, April 9 at 7:00pm
Schneider Parish Center
We invite our parishioners to attend the Annual
Budget meeting on Wednesday, April 9 at 7:00pm
at the Schneider Parish Center.
Like many Catholic parishes, OLC faces the finan-
cial challenge of increasing administration costs
and decreasing Mass attendance and offertory col-
lections.
In addition, OLC has some unique issues of its own
administering three worship sites, and paying down
the debt on the Parish Center.
Overcoming these challenges is critical in order for
OLC to focus on its mission of fostering disciple-
ship among its parishioners.
The Finance Committee will present an overview of
the proposed 2014-15 budget, discuss how this
could affect the future Mass schedule, and seek
your guidance.
Make sure your voice is heard by attending this
important meeting!
DAVIDS DRIVE
The OLC parish will be partnering with David's
Drive 831 to assist them in their efforts in assisting
our local veterans. Dave and Joy Turner founded
David's Drive 831 in 2010 in memory of their son
David, to continue his interest and passion for serv-
ing our veterans.
Of his work at the Coatesville VA, David would
often say "I serve those who served for us". Among
the many services provided to veterans by David's
Drive, the collection of personal health and clothing
items has been a mainstay.
Fr. Eschbach has invited the Turners to speak at
each Mass on Palm Sunday to discuss how out par-
ish community can support their mission.
Page 6 - 098
“Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either
is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness ... It is
better to give alms than to store up gold; for alms-
giving saves one from death and expiates every sin.
Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full
life" (Tobit 12:8-9).
ALMSGIVING: In the past we have always
provided opportunities for almsgiving during Lent
by taking a Second Collection for Operation Rice
Bowl through which we have funded programs that
fed the hungry and provided for other human needs
of the poor. Since we have sworn off Second Col-
lections this year, we will be providing 5% of our
Offertory collection during Lent to fund these pro-
grams. Therefore, you are encouraged to increase
your Lenten Offertory by 5% as well to allow us to
fulfill this Gospel mandate to give alms, “through
which there is forgiveness of sin”.
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the
blessing of the LORD your God which He has given
you." —Deuteronomy 16:17
Following God in any area of your life brings
change. When you begin to handle your money the
way God outlines in more than 800 Scriptures,
you'll be on your way to changing your family tree
forever.
Dumping debt and saving toward wealth will do
that. But here's something we need to keep in mind.
There's no room for selfishness in a heart full of
gratitude!
Giving is an expression that flows out of a grateful
heart. It's honoring God with what He's blessed us
with. It's displaying the love of Jesus, plain and
simple.
Remember His response when James and John
asked to be seated next to Him in heaven?
LENTEN REFLECTIONS
Give yourself to God
Commit to spend five minutes a day with God.
Keep a Lenten prayer journal.
Say a daily Rosary.
Attend weekday Mass.
Make the Stations of the Cross on Fridays.
Take time to read Scriptures of each day’s Mass.
Share the daily readings at dinner.
Keep a crucifix in a prominent place as a constant
reminder of the season.
Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Sit in silence for five minutes every day.
Memorize your favorite Scripture passages.
Take on a Novena or devotional.
Find time in your weekly schedule for extra prayer-
perhaps the Angelus at noon.
Read a spiritual book or Church history.
Research the life of your favorite saint.
Ask God each day for the graces you lack.
Spend time daily thanking God for His Son.
“If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your
hearts.” (Psalm 95:7-8)
Sin makes it hard to hear God’s voice in our lives.
Ask forgiveness from God for the times you have
ignored his voice and allow Christ to soften your
heart.
“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers and
sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
Pray to be able to better recognize Jesus in those peo-
ple who are poor and suffering.
