Lent - What a Holy Time

I love this time of year - Lent - our preparation for Easter. A time to reflect, pray, give alms and do good works. This year I am going to do the following in lieu of "giving up" something:

• Attend Vespers at the Norbertine Community each weeknight
• Attend Mass at Santa Maria de la Vid Priory (Norbertine Community) each Sunday
• Work with my parish on establishing a formal intercessory prayer ministry
• My almsgiving will benefit the St. Jude's Children's Hosptial this year

I pray that Lent is a holy time of peace and reflection for each of you - that you draw nearer to God in Christ. Many blessings on each of you!
