Listen to my Sunday homily: "Lent at Wartime." https://t.co/UazFjc3r4q

[The Pillar @PillarCatholic]

Need a little refresher on Lent, fasting, abstinence, and whether you can eat fake meat?

The Pillar has got you covered:

Lent begins tomorrow. Here is a quick guide to abstaining and fasting on particular days during this liturgical season:

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

We join @Pontifex in calling on all people of goodwill to pray for the people of #Ukraine and for an end to war.

[Catholic News Service @CatholicNewsSvc]

With #Putin announcing a military operation in Ukraine, we're just going to remind people that #PopeFrancis has called for prayer. Here's a little reminder of how to pray the rosary. Share with anyone you think might need it. #RussiaUkraineCrisis

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I invite everyone to make this coming 2nd March, Ash Wednesday, a Day of Fasting for Peace: let believers dedicate themselves intensively to prayer and fasting. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I would like to appeal to those with political responsibilities to make a serious examination of conscience before God, who is the God of peace and not of war, the Father of all, not just of some, who wants us to be brothers and not enemies. #Ukraine #Peace

[Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend @diocesefwsb]

Catholics in the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend will have the opportunity for the sacrament of reconciliation at every parish on Tuesday, March 8, from 6 to 8 p.m.

[Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend @diocesefwsb]

"Because if we're living that call to holiness, then we are open and ready and receptive to what the Lord is going to ask of us, and we'll do so with all of our hearts, whatever that path might be." ~ Jessica Hayes at Theology on Tap

[Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend @diocesefwsb]

Jessica Hayes will speak on vocations tonight at Theology on Tap. Hayes was consecrated as a virgin living in the world by Bishop Rhoades in 2015.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The news coming out of Ukraine is very worrying. I entrust to the intercession of the Virgin Mary, and to the conscience of political leaders, every effort on behalf of peace. #PrayTogether

[Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend @diocesefwsb]

All are invited to join Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades for 11:30a Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday, Feb. 20. Music will be provided by special guests, the Saint Mary’s College Women’s Choir.

[Fr. Andrew Budzinski @fatherbudzinski]

Pure joy!

Marriage, in every culture and every age, has been recognized as the lifelong union of a man and a woman for their own well-being and for the creation and nurturing of children. Marriage is the foundation of society. #NationalMarriageWeek

[Fr. Andrew Budzinski @fatherbudzinski]

Come to the Synodal Listening Session tonight at St. John the Baptist, 4500 Fairfield Ave, beginning with Mass at 6. Pope Francis wants your input on these questions: https://t.co/TOPujOYalE

Listen to this today: “Snow Day.” https://t.co/4wlqHlmXHY

[Fr. Andrew Budzinski @fatherbudzinski]

49 years ago today Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. 49 years ago today I was in my mother’s womb. And in an instant, with the stroke of the Supreme Court’s pen, the safest place in the world for pre-born children became the most dangerous. Pray for an end to abortion.
