Hello Friends,
I pray that you are your family are doing well. As I reflect on the season of Lent, I am reminded of how often I gave something up simply because I knew it’s what Catholics do. I invite you as you look at what you are going to give up and add for this season, to do so with the intention of your children or grandchildren’s vocation and relationship with Jesus. Whether it’s drinking your coffee black to remind you of the bitterness of your sins, or giving up the phone after 8pm in the evening, or maybe it’s going to a daily Mass or praying the Rosary once a week. Whatever it might be, please do so with an intention behind it. If you need one, please join me in praying for the sanctification of our priests and seminarians and an increase in priestly vocations.
Blessed Lent,
Fr. Steven Borello
