THE FEAST of SAINT CLEMENT MARY HOFBAUER

Clement saw his life's work meet with disaster. Religious and political tensions forced him and his brothers to abandon their ministry in Germany, Poland and Switzerland. Clement himself was exiled from Poland and had to start all over again. Someone once pointed out that the followers of the crucified Jesus should see only new possibilities opening up whenever they meet failure. He encourages us to follow his example, trusting in the Lord to guide us.

Thursday, March 18th "From Jesus to Christ-the First Christians" will be the fourth of five Thursdays of a Lenten Enrichment Series at 1pm and 6:30pm hosted by St. Mary's and Sacred Heart Church in Michigan City.  The guided discussion features Part III of the PBS  Video series that examines the period after the First Revolt, tracing the development and impact of the Gospels, looking at the increasingly hostile relationship between the Christians and the Jews.  This challenges familiar assumptions and conventional notions about the origins of Christianity. Drawing upon new and sometimes controversial historical evidence suggesting that Jesus' followers, because of their diversity and the differences in their cultures and languages, looked at and interpreted Jesus and this teachings in many different ways.  Handicapped accessible.  Each session will be followed with a time for discussion, coffee and cookies.  No fee.  All are welcome to attend the hour long spiritual presentation.  Please call the rectory office for the location and how many will be attending at 874.7231.

Prayer of Saint Patrick
Christ be with me, Christ within me,

Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, and in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
