Dear Friend of the Poor, I'm writing to ask for your help in feeding hungry children. Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, count- less mothers are unable to ease their children's hunger pains. Like Mary watching her Son in agony on the cross, these mothers must bear the pain of helplessly watching their children suffer. During the season of Lent, we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice Christ made for us. What better way to honor and glorify Him than by making a sacrifice to help others who are suffering? Our Lenten devotional calendar features daily Gospel readings and suggested activities that encourage us all to embrace the sacrificial spirit of Lent. Through Jesus' selfless act of love, we have the gift of eternal life. I'm praying that you will share Christ's love with others by giving a gift to provide lifesaving food to hungry children and their families. Your sacrifi- cial gift will help answer the prayers of desperate mothers who struggle as their children suffer. Your compassion and generosity will be a testa- ment to the love of Christ shining through you. "I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." (John 13:34) A servant of the poor, Robin G. Mahfood |
Cusp-a point of transition, as from one historical period to the next;
the borders between the twelve astrological signs.
You are considered to be "on the cusp" if you were born
within a day or two of the beginning or end of any sign.

Memorial of Saint Scholastica, virgin
Born in Nursia (Nurcia), Italy, c. 480 (?); died near Monte Cassino, Italy, c. 543. Almost everything we know about Saint Scholastica comes from the Dialogues of Saint Gregory the Great.
