Community Update
for Sunday February 28, 2021
2nd Sunday of Lent
|
|
How’s your fast coming? I have to admit fasting does not bring out the best in me. I am more irritable, attached to food (and sweets) and overall think in a worldly way. And that is the point. When I fast, I realize I need help. I need the grace of Good Friday which brings me the joy, freedom and spiritual mindset of a disciple of Jesus. My Friday fast from meats and less food reminds me in a practical way of the grace of Good Friday of Christ’s great sacrifice for me.
This year let’s make Good Friday special. Join us every Friday of Lent for the youth-led, bilingual Stations of the Cross livestreamed or in-person. Join us for the family-led Passion Play at 3PM Good Friday. Our Lenten fast should make us more aware of our need for God’s help to live more joyfully in this sojourn.
Read on for details on our parish’s Lenten journey including Sunday night’s discussion on fasting in Lent.
Saint John Vianney Pray for us!
God bless,
Fr Joe
