As we begin the liturgical season of Lent,
let us be reminded of the Church's invitation for us
"to turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel."
May our acts of penance, meditation & ascetism
prime God's grace more fully into our lives
and make us more deeply grounded
in our embracing the poor, the suffering and the needy
in our midst!
GOD'S BLESSINGS ON US ALL!
