 First Sunday of Lent

Fr. Jim's Jots

Lent 2021

Perhaps many of us feel like we have been living through Lent for the last year.  I surely think this past year has been a deep challenge of Prayer, Fasting and Alms-giving.  Yet we continue to count our Blessings and ask the Lord for healing.

Please Lord, help us heal from the grips of this COVID-19 Virus.

Please Lord, help us to heal from Racial unrest and the deep-seeded sin of Racism.

Please Lord, help our Country heal from the great divisions between the blue and the Red.

Please Lord, help us to care for Our Common Home and work together to clean and help our Environment.

Yet, we look forward to a New Spring time and Easter!!  We need to go and care for ALL in our Global Family.

So during Lent, return to prayer, repent from Sin and remember that "thou are dust; and to dust we shall return."  BUT while we are alive and ticking, may we try and try each day to put on Christ and turn away from Sin.

We need you to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Blessings this Lent,

Fr. Jim
