Whatever practices we’ve undertaken during these Lenten days...our prayer, fasting, & almsgiving, shouldn’t they be practices that are going to intentionally help us to be a more loving, caring, compassionate disciple of Jesus Christ? They should.
I know that over the past month or so, you’ve been hearing about some of the upcoming changes that we’re looking at around both parishes, especially when it comes to our Masses. It’s not easy to think about change, is it?
This week we begin our Lenten journey as Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine’s Day. So many will use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to express their love to someone significant in their life in ways such as buying flowers or chocolates or sharing a meal together.
Over the next two weeks we will have two opportunities to experience the Eucharist in action. Certainly we will experience the Eucharist in action in our celebrations of the Mass as we receive Jesus; Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
