Dear St. Isidore Families,
âWhoever walks with integrity walks securelyâ â Proverbs 10:9
Today is Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent. The purpose of Lent is to set aside time for reflection on Jesus Christ, his suffering and his sacrifice, his life, death, and resurrection. This special time of prayer and reflection ultimately brings us closer to God. Also this month, we celebrate the Gospel Value of
INTEGRITY.
Living with integrity is to connect with oneâs moral compass. It is choosing what is right, honest and true, regardless of the outcome or the benefit.
