On Valentine’s Day we closed our 6th time for serv-

ing our homeless brothers & sisters @ the Monsi-

gnor House. Thank you everyone…those of you

who pray for Family Promise, those who brought delicious food,

those who donated delicious food, those who stayed overnight,

those who washed bedding & linens, those who moved cots in &

out, those who cleaned, those who helped with coordination of

the week & those who are helping to design the leadership of

Family Promise Holy Spirit. Pope Francis encourages us to “Ask

Jesus what he wants from you and be brave!” All of you have

answered that call & our guests benefited from the quiet ways in

which you served. Some of you say, “is that all?” Yes! We

work as community to create community & the work is light

because we share it in community.

Liturgical Tidbits: Best Lent EVER! What Should I Give

Up for Lent? Lent is the perfect time to form new life-giving

habits and abandon old self-destructive habits. But most of us

just give up chocolate. Then, when Easter arrives, we realize

we really haven’t grown spiritually since the beginning of

Lent. Lent is not just about giving things up, like chocolate.

Lent is about doing something—something bold to become a

better husband or wife, father or mother, son or daughter,

friend, neighbor, etc.

What if this year you did more than just give up something

during Lent? It’s not too late to do something life-

changing. Sign up for Dynamic Catholic’s Best Lent Ever.

You’ll find a link in your email, as well as on the parish web-

site www.holyspiritgf.org.
