Lent, a season of the Church lasting forty
days and forty nights helps us to identify
with Jesus who spend forty days of
fasting and prayer in the wilderness
before beginning his public ministry at
the age of thirty. We too prepare for the
most important feast of the Church,
Easter, by prayer, fasting (giving up food)
and being generous towards others. If
you were going to a great party, you
wouldn’t have a full meal beforehand as
you would leave no room for the feast
awaiting you. So also with Easter: we
prepare for it in our souls by prayer and
in our bodies by fasting so that we can
experience the “full flavor” of Easter, the
feast of Jesus’ resurrection. This Lent, I
invite you to the many events of the
parish, most especially the Way of the
Cross for the children on Friday March
30th at 6:30pm at the church. Whatever
you to do or give up this Lent, do it with
joy.
