“ Learn Jesus, love Jesus and live Jesus . . .”�

A dear friend in the faith once shared with me her

practice of placing the holy cards of her beloved

departed ones into the pages of her cookbooks.

Puzzled by this, I asked why. She replied that she

used her cookbooks often, to try new recipes or

revisit family favorites. Finding the cards among

the pages served as a reminder to pray for her lost

loved ones. “It wouldn’t work putting them in my

Bible,” she added. “I don’t open that.” �

At every Mass in our six parishes we recite the

On Mission prayer. Staff and council members

pray this at the start of each meeting. The words

we all pray include the plea to God to “. . . Help

us to learn Jesus, to love Jesus and to live Jesus.” �

By now the prayer is well�known to us, but did

you ever notice the sequence of those words?

First, we pray to learn, then to love, then to live

Jesus. Did you ever wonder about that? Wouldn’t

the “love Jesus” part be at the end? After all, isn’t

that the most important thing � to love Jesus? �

A priest once challenged me that an authentic

love for Jesus must prompt a response on my

part. It compels an action, or a ‘living out’ of that

love. Think of Mother Teresa, now St. Teresa of

Kolkata. Her unquestioned love of Jesus was an

active one, lived in service to the poorest of the

poor. If we, like her have learned Jesus, and have

come to love Jesus, then it follows that we would

live Jesus. In fact, we couldn’t help but do so! �

This Lent, we’re encouraging all to learn Jesus a

little better through a parish bible study on the

Gospel of Mark. We will host a weekly session

for those who want to meet and discuss. Classes

will be Tuesdays at St. Columbkille. We will also

have an online version, with reflection and study

questions for those who wish to stay home. The

bulletin will have the same questions for those

who don’t use a computer. �

Scripture is the living Word of God. Divinely

inspired and co�authored by a human hand many

centuries ago, yet the reading and hearing of the

Word at your fingertips today is meant for you �

now, personally, powerfully. As you participate in

our scripture study on Mark, try this: open to the

page and place your hands on the Bible. Pray to

the Holy Spirit to help you understand what the

Lord wants to tell you. Pray too, that God’s Word

may take deep root in you. And begin. � �

Sharon Serratore, Pastoral Associate�

Join the parish Bible Study on The Gospel of Mark.

Beginner or scripture scholar � all are welcome �

In a small group . . . classes will meet on six

Tuesdays of Lent, (March 3, March 10, March 17,

March 23, March 30, April 7), 6:30pm to 8:00pm

at St. Columbkille Parish Hall. Contact Dave Keene

at�canmann74.com�or 412�855�0960 for info.��

. . . or online . . . readings and study questions will

be posted weekly at www.grouping329/bible�

study. Participants can email responses to share

with online parish community.�

. . . in the bulletin . . . readings and questions will

be listed each week in the bulletin.��

There's no cost, and no materials but your Bible.

Join for one class, all six, or online or the bulletin!

This Lent we have �

The Word Among Us �

booklets to help us grow

in faith and knowledge

of Jesus and Scripture.�

� Daily Medita�ons�

� Featured Ar�cles on �

Lent and the saints�
