emmaus walk bulletin: 10 March

Dear Walkers,

Each Friday night after work, Sardar would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs. But, all of his neighbors were strict Catholics ... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday.
The delicious aroma from the grilled meats was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their Priest. The Priest came to visit Sardar and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Sardar attended Mass... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, You were born a Sikh, and raised a Sikh, but now, you are a Catholic."
Sardar's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived. The wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken and meat kebabs filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and, as he rushed into Sardar's backyard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Sardar, holding a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meats and chanted: "Oye, you were born a chicken, and you were born a lamb, you were raised a chicken and you were raised a lamb but now you are a potato and tomato"

Last Sunday in CG
We reflected on our relationship with God. Jesus wants to know us truly, and not just have us do his work - casting out demons in his name, healing the sick etc. Are we occupied with our ministry work and forgetting to "do the will of God" (v.21)? What do we build our houses on? What is important to us? We need to build our houses on rock, for a solid foundation. Jesus' words will never pass away. The Rock could be a WWE wrestler who calls himself "the people's champion". In Jesus, we truly have a people's champion who is truly for the people, his people.

This Sunday in CG
We have entered the season of Lent! Join us to reflect on Lent, in the lead-up to the greatest feast of feasts!

OK that's all from me, have a blessed Lent ahead!

In His Love,
barry
