March, 12, 2000 Second Week of Lent: The Man with Leprosy First Reading: 1Peter 3:18 -22 (English):
Jesus suffered and died so he can bring us closer to God. He died in the flesh and was risen in the Spirit. The Sacrament of Baptism removes the dirt from the souls so we appeal to the Lord who will receive us in heaven with the saints and angels.Second Reading: Romans 6:12 -23 (Lebanese):
In this reading, St. Paul wants us to conquer the sin in our bodies. He asks us to be strong in our faith so we can receive the grace of the Lord, which is the eternal life in Jesus Christ .Gospel: Mark 1: 40 - 45 (English & Lebanese):
In this Gospel reading, we listen to an impressive dialogue between Jesus and the man with Leprosy. Jesus talks to him, touches him unlike everyone else who avoided this man because of illness. The only leper we should avoid is the sin that takes us far away from our Father.

Leamington Ministerial Association invites all the Christians to pray for each other.
This week we pray for :
Faith Mennonite Church.Prayer to be freed of the seven deadly sins during the Lent Season O meek Savior and Prince of Peace, implant in me the virtues of gentleness and patience. Let me curb the fury of anger and restrain all resentment and impatience so as to overcome evil with good, attain your peace and rejoice in your love.
O model of humility, divest me of all pride and arrogance. Let me acknowledge my weakness and sinfulness, so that I may bear mockery and contempt for your sake and esteem myself as lowly in your sight.
O Teacher of abstinence, help me to serve you rather than my appetites. Keep me from gluttony and let me hunger and thirst for your justice.
O Lover of Purity, remove all lust from my heart, so that I may serve you with a pure mind and a chaste body.
O Father of the poor, help me to avoid all covetousness for earthly goods and give me a love for heavenly things. Inspire me to give to the needy, just as you gave your life that I might inherit eternal treasures.
O Exemplar of love, keep me from all envy and ill-will. Let the grace of your dwell in me that I rejoice in the happiness of others and bewail their adversities.
O zealous lover of souls, keep me from all sloth of mind or body. Inspire me with zeal for your glory, so that I may do all things for you and in you. Amen
