CRS Rice Bowl- a message from Mark Bouchard from Catholic Charities Louisville.
Many have asked us about how to collect Rice Bowls this year as parishes and schools are likely to remain closed through the rest of the Lenten season. Families may turn in their Lenten gifts at:
· English https://support.crs.org/donate/change-life-lent-0
· Spanish https://support.crs.org/donate/cambia-una-vida-esta-cuaresma
Remember – CRS Rice Bowl supports hunger and poverty alleviation efforts both around the world through CRS (75% of gifts) and also here in the U.S. (25% for local diocesan efforts). This global/local connection is important as communities in the US and around the world are both struggling with the economic impacts of COVID-19.
· The CRS Bi-lingual Facebook Group offers a virtual community space where people can share about their Lenten journeys and see examples of how others are maintaining Lenten spirituality during social distancing.

“The Raising of Lazarus,” by Duccio di Buoninsegna, 1310–11
We say odd, even senseless things in the face of death. We talk of “heaven needing another angel.” We wonder why God did not take someone else, someone older, more ready. We even say, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died” (Jn 11:21).
Nothing is more certain than death. Yet normally, nothing is more hidden from our view. We do most everything that we can to not look death in the face. Death riles us, but our Lord remains serene when told that his dear friend Lazarus is sick unto death:
In these uncertain times, we at the VLCFF want you to know that we care. We offer our prayers and this free e-seminar to support you and your ministry.
May the Lord bless and watch over you and your loved ones.
