Public MassIn an effort to keep our parishioners safe, St. Teresa of Avila will adhere to the rules and guidelines from both the District of Columbia and the Archdiocese of Washington regarding attendance at public Mass. As we move forward in gathering to celebrate the Eucharist in person again, we look forward to doing so safely and joyfully. Please click here to review the guidelines below for in-person Mass as we begin to phase in one Mass per week at our Parish. Space is limited and reservations are mandatory. You must make a new reservation each week to attend in-person Mass. No exceptions. Before registering for Mass you must complete the STA COVID-19 protocol questionnaire. Click here to complete the COVID-19 Questionnaire and Liability Waiver. Reminder: Parishioners who are particularly vulnerable (e.g., over the age of 60, those who have been medically diagnosed with serious underlying health conditions: high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and those whose immune system is compromised, heart or lung conditions, or who are immune-compromised), and those who are ill or suspect they may be ill, should remain at home. Livestreaming of our Sunday Mass on our YouTube and Facebook Live channels will continue each Sunday, with Mass at 9:30am.

Lent Reflections

Friends, today’s Gospel tells the story of the rich man and the poor man, Lazarus, at his gate. God is not pleased with this kind of economic inequality, and he burns with passion to set things right.

Daily Lenten Challenge
Whether you live with your spouse, children, parents, or a roommate, today’s challenge can include everyone in your home! If you live alone, ask a friend if they’d like to get together to read a chapter of the Bible with you.
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” - Matthew 18:20
Today’s challenge: Open up your Bible and read a chapter or two
as a family or with a friend.

Lenten PrayerLet Us Pray….
FATHER, I STRETCH MY HANDS TO YOU, NO OTHER HELP I KNOW. You have been our help in ages past; our help in flood and famine, in bondage and fear. You have been our hope in airs of despair and our joy in the midst of sorrow. IF WE EVER NEEDED THE LORD BEFORE, WE SURE DO NEED HIM NOW.
Lord as we experience and face virus and pandemic, we know that THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD. In the uncertainty and craziness of todays’ world, WE JUST COME TO PRAISE THE LORD. We come just to HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS. And as we trek on life’s long and often difficult journey, and if difficult days await, we know that WE’VE COME THIS FAR BY FAITH. Through these trials and tribulations, are confident in your love and your AMAZING GRACE.
LORD THROUGHOUT THESE 40 DAYS, I humbly ask that you walk with us, talk with us. Talk with us in silence, talk with us in noise. Sit us down when we get to high and lift us up when we get too low. Walk with us as we join you and help you carry that OLD RUGGED CROSS. When that ol’ cross gets heavy and we feel like falling, help us to shout: I DON’T FEEL NOWAYS TIRED. Help us to call on your spirit to strengthen us, to embolden us to energize us. While obstacles, distractions and efforts of the evil one may try to stop us help us remember that NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER.
HOW GREAT THOU ART! HOW GREAT THOU ART! HOW GREAT THOU ART!
Ralph McCloud, Director of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development
