Lent is a time for producing, in greater abundance, the fruits of the

Kingdom of God.

Lent is a call to action; a time for pruning; a time to

cut away the unwanted negative thoughts and

misdeeds that keep us from loving God and our

neighbor as we should. Our branches need to be cut

back so that we will produce with greater abundance

the fruits of the Kingdom of God.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reflection Days pass and the years vanish,

and we walk sightless among miracles.

Lord, fill our eyes with seeing, and our minds with knowing.

Let there be moments when the radiance of your presence

illuminates the darkness in which we walk.

Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns, unconsumed.

And we, clay touched by your hand,

will reach out for holiness and exclaim in wonder,

‘How filled with awe is this place, and we did not know it’ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lenten Penance Service To give us all an opportunity to prepare for Easter spiritually, there will be an occasion for all of us to celebrate a Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) in our parish. It will be held on Tuesday, March 12th at 7 pm at the church.

Stations of the Cross Let us gaze on the crucified Jesus, and let us ask in prayer: Enlighten our hearts, Lord, that we may follow you along the

way of the cross. Put to death in us the “old man” bound by

selfishness, evil and sin. Make us “new men”, men and

women of holiness, transformed and enlivened by your love. We invite you – every Friday during Lent at 7:00 pm
