Catholic Commission for Social Justice
During these Carnival days of joy and merriment, CCSJ urges everyone not to lose sight of their inherent, inalienable, and inviolable dignity. It is when we forget who we really are that we throw caution to the wind and fail to protect our dignity.
My brothers and sisters, as we journey through Lent this year, let us use this opportunity to deepen our faith and to renew our resolve to be true witnesses to Christ. But we can only be true witnesses if we Kamagra tablets, Super P Force, Aurogra, Eriacta, etc. were introduced as generic versions of canadian sildenafil.

Gospel Mk 1:29-39
On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them. When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him.
Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.
A recent newspaper editorial headed, “Fete after fete after fete”, appeared on the same day that we read about the tributes paid to the late Marcia Henville who was brutally murdered in her own home, allegedly by someone she knew.
In the midst of our Carnival merry-making, take some time to reflect on the implication of Pope Francis’ Lenten Message for 2015 which has as its theme: “Make your hearts firm” (James 5:8).
