Ash Wednesday Prayer

Lord Jesus, you walk with me, you are my companion, on this Lenten journey I am about to begin. During these forty days I wan to remember how much I need you in my life, and how much my life needs to be re-newed. May your loving mercy and forgiveness wipe clean the record of my sins. On this special day, Ash Wednesday, may my small sacrifices in fasting help me clear away the clutter in my life, and enable to see you more clearly. May my longing for food connect me with all the hungry people of this world. May my own sufferings awaken me to the needs of all who suffer. My brothers and sister who long for food, for home, for peace, for meaning in life. Lord, give me the grace to do what I can to ease their pain. May your life shine more brightly in my life, so that I may be a source of light, and a sign of hope, for someone else. Increase my longing for Your light until we celebrate it at the Easter Vigil six weeks from now. I pray that this Lenten season may be a time of healing and renewal: for myself for my loved ones for the whole world. Amen.

†Margaret Calano - Happy Birthday

By: Sandra M. Rodriguez & Family

San Francesco Di Paola San Antonio, TX FEBRUARY 11, 2018

The Caritas Corner We recently had the heartwarming experience of helping two families in need. The first was an active duty Air Force Sergeant and his family. The sergeant's family has extensive medical issues. He was stationed in Germany, but was forced to put in for a transfer to the US because his base did not have the medical capabilities his family requires. Thus, he transferred to Lackland AFB. Unfortunately, the family had to leave their vehicle behind in Germany for regulatory reasons, and the 2nd hand car he purchased to

transport his family to their medical appointments broke down. The Caritas Fund was able to solve his transportation issue and get

his car back on the road.

The second case was a referral from San Fernando Cathedral and involved a single mother and her three small children. The father now lives in another state and is avoiding any support. At one point the young mother was homeless but was able to get a steady job, but recently was let go rather than being allowed to go on maternity leave. While employed she secured an apartment but is now in arrears on rent and utilities and faces eviction. She has a lead on a new job but that might be a month away. The Caritas Fund was able to cover all past bills and pre-pay rent and utilities through January 2018. Additionally, a generous Society member provided a $500 gift card to the family for Christmas gifts.

This Caritas Fund is administered by the San Francescani Society and funded through the second collection normally on the third Sunday of each month. Its purpose is to assist recipients – who through no fault of their own have fallen on hard times and have recognizable needs to help get back on their feet.

In addition to the once a month second collection, the Caritas Fund accepts individual as well as business donations. Donations can be mailed to: Sam Guido, Treasurer, San Francescani Society, P.O. Box 782474, San Antonio, TX 78278-2474.

We are continually looking for additional brothers and sisters in need. Referrals can be made to Ralph Paglia, Society President, by leaving a message at the SFdP office at 210-227-0548.

Thank you for your continued generosity and support. We especially thank the Daughters of Italy and the Christopher Columbus Italian Society for their recent very generous donations to the fund.
