The story of the anointing of Jesus is one of the few stories that appears in all four Gospels. As people begin to grumble about the cost and waste of the perfume, Jesus responds: "You always have the poor with you and any time you want to you can do something good for them." As we continue our Operation Rice Bowl journey let us remember in prayer that we are one human family, regardless of our differences. Answering the call to love our neighbors will promote a culture of respect and lead to peace in our own community, and in communities around the world. May our fasting keep us mindful we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. May our almsgiving assist those in need here in the United States. 75% of your gifts to Operation Rice Bowl support Catholic Relief Services’ programs around the world. The remaining 25% of your contributions stay in dioceses in the U.S. to assist local hunger and poverty alleviation programs. For further information, click on www.crs.org.
