He loves not Temperance, or Authority,
But is composed of passion.

Give to your Mother, what you would allow
To every Corporation.

It 's true, we cannot reach Christ's fortieth day;
Yet to go part of that religious way,
Is better than to rest:
Who goes in the way which Christ has gone,
Is much more sure to meet with him, than one
Who travels the by-ways:
Perhaps my God, though he be far before,
May turn, and take me by the hand, and more
May strengthen my decays.

Let Our Passions be for Christ:
The passions of the soul adorned by grace.
Yet Lord instruct us to improve our fast
By starving sin and taking such repast
As may our faults control:
A Lenten Study at 7pm at St. Michael’s Rectory in Petite Riviere.
Please join us for a talk with discussion, questions and friendly fellowship.
Christ in the Wilderness, Ivan Kramskoy, 1872.
That ev'ry man may revel at his door,
Not in his parlor; banqueting the poor,
And among those his soul.

“I therefore invite you, in the name of the Church, to
the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination
and repentance, by prayer, fasting, and self-denial,
and by reading and meditation upon God’s holy
Word.”
