Pope Francis makes that clear by his own daily example. And we have a host of holy men and women who have come before us, who have gone to the margins of society so that every member of our human family might know the love of God.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s our turn. With the spiritual pillars of Lent at our disposal, we set out on a 40-day journey, a journey of encounter with ourselves, our neighbors and our God.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Through\u00a0<strong>prayer<\/strong>, we encounter Christ, present in the faces of every member of our human family, so often still walking that long road to Calvary.<\/li>\n<li>Through\u00a0<strong>fasting<\/strong>, we encounter our own obstacles, those things about ourselves that prevent us from loving God and neighbor.<\/li>\n<li>Through\u00a0<strong>almsgiving<\/strong>, we encounter our brothers and sisters around the world, asking what we can give up so that others might have life to the fullest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lent is our time to\u00a0<strong>encounter<\/strong>, to cultivate a spirit of global solidarity. CRS Rice Bowl is not only about collecting money in a cardboard box. It is a symbolic box full of hope, prayers and opportunities to deepen our faith as <em>One &#8216;Ohana<\/em>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crsricebowl.org\/\">Catholic Relief Services<\/a>\u00a0provides a Lenten faith-in-action program for families and faith communities to share our Lenten sacrifices with each other, while transforming lives.<\/p>\n<p>For 40\u00a0years, CRS Ricebowl has collected more than $250 million to support programs that help prevent hunger and poverty around the world. Help us continue the tradition of encountering Jesus through the most vulnerable and making a difference in so many lives.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on how you can be a part of this movement, visit the global\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crsricebowl.org\/\">CRS Ricebowl<\/a>\u00a0website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Participating in CRS Lenten Rice Bowl is also an excellent way to implement our efforts to focus on the priorities of Family, Faith Formation, Youth and Young Adults, and Leadership&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":134,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1017"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1017\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/officeforsocialministry.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
