Lent 2018 Prot. No. 100/1/18 S

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The Eparchy of Saint Maron exists to serve you, the Maronite faithful, and to preach the Gospel to all people. We can only do this effectively with your financial support.

Today, I ask you to make a sacrificial gift to the Eparchy’s Annual Lenten Appeal. The proceeds of this year’s Appeal will go for the following needs of the Eparchy:

Seminarians: Our seminarians are our future. We need your help so we can invest in their education and formation. We currently have four seminarians and three men in discernment. Each seminarian costs about $40,000 per year, in the form of tuition, books, room, board and insurance. 40% of your contribution to this year’s Annual Appeal will go for Seminarian Expenses.

Retired Priests: Collectively, the 15 retired priests of the Eparchy served the faithful for over 500 years.Now, we help them with a modest pension of $1,800 per month. 20% of your contribution will go to support Retired Priests.

Helping in Lebanon and the Middle East: The Eparchy assists Lebanon and Syria in countless ways, for example: by applying for grants to American foundations and donors, advocating for them with the U.S.government, and channeling and providing direct financial assistance. 10% of your contribution will go to support Christians in Lebanon and the Middle East.

Endowment: The Eparchy’s Endowment Fund provides a source of income each year for the needs of the Eparchy and ensures that the Eparchy will have solid resources in the future. It also provides a “rainy day fund” in case of disaster. 30% of your contribution will be deposited into the Eparchy’s Endowment.

Please open your heart once again to help with these critical needs. Your gift makes a positive difference in the lives of so many throughout the 16 states of the Eparchy, stretching from Maine to Florida. Any gift you make will have a positive effect.

Thank you very much. May God bless you for your generosity! I wish you a holy Lent and a blessed Easter.

Gratefully yours in Christ,

+ Gregory J. Mansour

PS: Please also consider remembering the Eparchy and your parish in your estate plan, or as the beneficiary of an insurance policy, retirement plan or charitable gift annuity. Thank you.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20

LENTEN QUOTE “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23 Do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? Romans 2:4

1 Timothy 5:24-6:5 Rules for Widows - Brothers and Sisters: The sins of some people are conspicuous and precede them to judgment, while the sins of others follow them there. So also good works are conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden. Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be blasphemed. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful to them on the ground that they are members of the church; rather they must serve them all the more, since those who benefit by their service are

believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties. Whoever teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness, is conceited, understanding nothing, and has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words. From these come envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions and wrangling among those who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. Praise be to God always!

Mark 2:1-12 The Healing of the Paralytic - When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days it was reported that he was at home. So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door, and he was speaking the word to them. Then some people came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let down the man on which the paralytic lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts. “Why does this fellow speak in this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” At one Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves; and he said to them, “Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? Which is easier to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Stand up and take your mat and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” he said to the paralytic, “I say to you, stand up, take your mat and go to your home.” And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God saying, “We have never seen anything like this! This is the truth. Peace be with you!
