We wish to thank you for your generosity on this Develop-
ment & Peace Solidarity Sunday. Your donation will be
used to help our sisters and brothers all over the world—
from Lebanon to Cambodia, to Nigeria and beyond! The
theme of our Share Lent campaign Together for Peace,
invites us to build peace through dialogue and reconcilia-
tion and to consider mercy as a source of hope for the fu-
ture. This is what Pope Francis underlined on the occasion
of the Jubilee of Mercy: “Mercy is the force that reawak-
ens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to
the future with hope.” Thank you for helping us create a
future filled with hope!

“I will be their God and they shall be my people.” -
Jeremiah 31:33
What does it mean to be God’s people? It means
we recognize that everything we have and every-
thing we are belongs to God. We aren’t “owners”
of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts
God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts
and our lives to care for our neighbors and the world, just
as God cares for us.
Vocation View To be God’s servant, we must follow Jesus. Do you de-
sire to see where Jesus lives? Serve the poor and margin-
alized. (John 12:20-33)
