THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT - March 4, 2018
Living the Gospel by providing for homeless youth
On any given night, 6,000 people across Canada between 16 and
24 have nowhere to call home. This represents 20 per cent of the
total homeless population. The ShareLife-supported Rights of
Passage program at Covenant House has been active in making a positive difference
in the lives of homeless youth on the streets of Toronto. The program matches
adolescents with mentors, who help them build life skills. By supporting ShareLife,
you’re helping at-risk youth prepare for life on their own.
March 18 is ShareLife Sunday. Please give generously.

Message of the Holy Father Francis for Lent 2018
“Because of the increase of iniquity, the love of many will grow cold” (Mt 24: 12).
Continued…
False prophets can also be “charlatans”, who
offer easy and immediate solutions to suffering
that soon prove utterly useless. How many young
people are taken in by the panacea of drugs, of
disposable relationships, of easy but dishonest
gains! How many more are ensnared in a
thoroughly “virtual” existence, in which
relationships appear quick and straightforward,
only to prove meaningless! These swindlers, in peddling things that have no real
value, rob people of all that is most precious: dignity, freedom and the ability to
love. They appeal to our vanity, our trust in appearances, but in the end they only
make fools of us. Nor should we be surprised. In order to confound the human
heart, the devil, who is “ a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44), has always presented
evil as good, falsehood as truth. That is why each of us is called to peer into our
heart to see if we are falling prey to the lies of these false prophets. We must learn
to look closely, beneath the surface, and to recognize what leaves a good and lasting
mark on our hearts, because it comes from God and is truly for our benefit.
A cold heart
In his description of hell, Dante Alighieri pictures the devil seated on a throne of ice,
[2] in frozen and loveless isolation. We might well ask ourselves how it happens that
charity can turn cold within us. What are the signs that indicate that our love is
beginning to cool?
More than anything else, what destroys charity is greed for money, “the root of all
evil” (1 Tim 6:10). The rejection of God and his peace soon follows; we prefer our
own desolation rather than the comfort found in his word and the sacraments.[3] All
this leads to violence against anyone we think is a threat to our own “certainties”:
the unborn child, the elderly and infirm, the migrant, the alien among us, or our
neighbor who does not live up to our expectations.
