Food for Thought...

Many hands make light work! Thank you to those who helped with the Sanctuary rearrangement for Lent. We are blessed by you!!

A wonderful piece from Joan Chittister to begin the Lenten season. Welcome to a Holy Lent. . .

Ash Wednesday signals the beginning of that season of the church year that is most commonly associated with penance. But there is a danger lurking in that definition. If penance is all that Lent is about, the season, if not almost useless, is at least somewhat trivial. It makes the spiritual life some kind of arithmetical balancing act. I do so many penances for so much human misadventure and payback time is over. The important thing is that I remember to come out even.

But Lent is a much greater moment in life than that. Today's readings make the distinction stark and clear. To read more, click here. . .
