THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

 

            The holy season of Lent is now in its third week.  It began with a simple yet profound gesture—the imposition of ashes in the form of a cross on our foreheads, reminding us of our mortality and the need for repentance.

            In so many ways, it appears that sin reigns supreme in our world.  The prevalence of violence, scandal, selfishness and cruelty towards others weighs heavily upon us. We are reminded that through the discipline of Lent, --- prayer, fasting, sacrifice and works of charity, --- it can help us overcome sin and temptation in our lives.  With God’s help, we can rid ourselves of temptation and sin and become better Christians.

            Let us pray that this grace-filled period of Lent will unite us sacramentally and prayerfully with the Passion and Death of Jesus as we journey toward Easter.

Father Ed Lipinski

                                                                                                               

Stations of the Cross are held in our chapel every Friday during Lent following 8 AM Mass.

All Fridays during Lent are meatless.
