Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus challenges us to be generous in our love. Keeping score, getting even, holding grudges, being
resistant and hating enemies are not routes to holiness and the fulfilling life. Draw on God’s limitless
love for you to go the extra mile, seek the great good, love your enemies and see what miracles God can
work in your life! You cannot out give God!

351 Holy Hour Adorers spent time before Lord in Eucharistic Adoration this past week. A special thank
you goes out to all the adorers who faithfully came for their hour during snow and ice. Oh! Sacred
Heart of Jesus, help us to remember that when the world is cold and dreary, and we do not know where
to turn for comfort, that there is always one spot bright and cheerful at the altar with our Lord!
You are needed; please call 330-212-0926

As Lent quickly approaches, we are reminded of our call to be stewards with gifts of time, talent, and treasure. At
St. Augustine Church we appreciate your gifts, regardless of how they come. Many of our parishioners have been
using Faith Direct to give their gifts of treasure. Faith Direct is an excellent way to support the parish while
reducing the administrative costs of envelopes and saving our wonderful staff and volunteer’s precious time. To
enroll in the Faith Direct program you may pick up an enrollment form in the parish office or enroll online at
www.faithdirect.net using our church code: OH278.
“Come and See” Sr. Diane Therese Pinchot, OSU, Ursuline Art Department Professor & Chair, will
speak on the topic, “Contemplation & Action: A Witness of the Emerging Church” at the next
gathering, Tuesday, March 1, 7:00 p.m., at Blessed Trinity Church (formerly St. Martha) in Akron.
Everyone is welcome, there is no cost and reservations are not required.
Stewardship Corner: the just man’s sacrifice is most pleasing, nor will it ever be forgotten. In generous
spirit pay homage to the Lord, be not sparing of freewill gifts. With each contribution show a cheerful
countenance, and pay your tithes in a spirit of joy. Give to the Most High as he has given to you,
generously, according to your means. For the Lord is one who always repays, and he will give back to
you sevenfold.
