We Remember
March 24 is the death anniversary of Archbishop Oscar Romero. Pax Christi USA has several Romero resources listed, including this one:
“Easter is itself the cry of victory. No one can quench that life that Christ has resurrected. Neither death nor all the banners of death and hatred raised against him and against his church can prevail. He is the victorious one! Just as he will thrive in an unending Easter, so we must accompany him in a Lent and a Holy Week of cross , sacrifice and martyrdom. Blessed are they who are not scandalized by his cross. Those who have Christian faith and hope know that behind this Calvary lies our Easter, our resurrection. That is our hope.” ~Archbishop Oscar Romero

March 8: International Women's Day
A reminder from LCWR:
Did you know that up to 50% of sexual assaults in the world today are committed against girls who are under the age of 16? Additionally, 603 million women live in countries where domestic violence is not yet considered a crime. Further, up to 70% of women in the world report having experienced physical and/or sexual violence at some point in their lifetime.
This year's theme for International Women's Day (commemorated on March 8) is "A Promise is a Promise: Time for Action to End Violence Against Women." Materials -- including fact sheets, videos and stories are available by clicking here. The USG/UISG Commission for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation has prepared a prayer service for International Women's Day. Click here to access the prayer service.
