Next Sunday’s Gospel: Luke 6:27-38
This Week’s Fr. Patrick Holy Homework
Let’s spend an hour prayerfully reading and meditating on Roman 8:16-39 and ask Jesus as we begin the holy hour to teach us more about the hope that His disciples are able to live in at all times.How Goes the Tally?
How have things been going with you lately?
- Did your team win the Super Bowl game on Sunday?
- Did you try to reach out to some old friend or some distant family member to give them a St. Valentine’s Day greeting or a phone call or an email or ??? [that was a suggestion in Dcn Paul’s bulletin column last Sunday]
- Did you offer someone one of those new Corpus Christi “business cards” as part of our parish “Everyone Invites” Thematic Goal? Here’s what the cards look like … and there are more cards that can be picked up at the back of church!
Generations of Faith: Encounter Jesus 
More about our next guest speaker, Fr. Bernie Owens, SJ: After ministering for 19 years at Manresa Jesuit Retreat Center in Bloomfield Hills, Fr. Owens left Michigan in 2013 and traveled to Nairobi Kenya where for five years he guided many people making retreats according to the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola and taught part-time in the Jesuit seminary in Nairobi. Of his time there, Fr. Owens says: “All in all, it was a very meaningful chapter in my life, a great gift to me from God. I am so very glad I said ‘yes’ to His invitation to go with Him to East Africa and experience firsthand a young, vibrant church/nation.”
Fr. Owens will help us Encounter Jesus in Forgiveness: the forgiveness we receive from others, from God; the forgiveness we ask from other people, from God. He will talk about a way to forgive and a way to make matters worse! There will also be time for personal reflection and sharing with others.
Join us Sunday February 27th after the 11 am Mass (12:30- 1:40 pm). A snack before the presentation will be provided! The presentation will also be Livestreamed through the parish website and recorded for later viewing.
Children and teens have two options for their next Encounter with Jesus:- In-person on Sunday February 27th from 12:25 to 1:40 pm with a snack provided. Children in rooms 3 & 4 of the school and teens in the Activity Center.
- At home with online activities and videos using a link on the Corpus Christi website that goes “live” on Sunday, February 27th.
Please wear a mask as we take extra precautions to protect everyone.
