“There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen
and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man
named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill
of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Dogs even used to come
and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by
angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes
and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out,
‘Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his
finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these
flames.’ Abraham replied, ‘My child, remember that you received what
was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was
bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent
anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or
from your side to ours.’ He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my
father’s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest
they too come to this place of torment.’ But Abraham replied, ‘They
have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ He said, ‘Oh no,
father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will
repent.’ Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the
dead.’”

We have been asked to help support American Friends of SESOBEL, a charity organization in Lebanon that helps disabled children, by recycling unwanted sneakers. There is a box at the entrance of the Church for you to drop off your sneakers (please tie the shoelaces together).

Lenten Observances
We begin the Season of Great Lent this year on Sunday, February 11th. Bishops Gregory Mansour and Elias Zaidan have issued the following Lenten guidelines for Maronites of the U.S.:
All Maronites who are physically capable are to abstain from meat on Ash Monday and all Fridays of Lent.
Ash Monday and the Great Friday of the Crucifixion are also days of fasting. Fasting in the Maronite Church involves eating and drinking nothing at all (except water and medicine) from midnight until noon. The rest of the day normal meals can be taken, but without meat. All Maronites who are physically capable are to fast on these days.
Personal Devotion: Clergy, religious and laity who wish to observe the more traditional Maronite practice of fasting and abstinence are encouraged to do so. That practice is summarized in the following, taken from the Synod of Mount Lebanon (1736): Every weekday of Lent (Mon-Fri) is a day of fasting and abstinence from meat and dairy products (eggs, butter, milk, etc.). Fasting involves eating and drinking nothing at all (except water and medicine) from midnight until noon. The rest of the day normal meals can be taken, but no meat or dairy products. Dairy products are excluded because they are animal byproducts. Saturdays and Sundays are exempt from fasting and abstaining, as are the following feast days: The 40 Martyrs (Mar 9), St. Joseph (Mar 19), and the Annunciation (Mar 25). Almsgiving During Lent: We have a few opportunities for Almsgiving during this upcoming Season of Lent.
1) Eparchial Lenten Appeal (see letter & flyer) 2) CRS Operation Rice Bowl — pick up your
Rice Bowl on Cana Sunday and use to collect money that will go toward helping our brothers & sisters in nee around the world
3) Easter Egg Giving Tree — items purchased for the giving tree are to support our local Catholic Charities Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services in Beaver
