Dear Parishioners,
I find the temptation in the desert so interesting and insightful. It is a great guide for the spiritual life.
Dear Parishioners,
Lent begins this Wednesday, February 22. On Ash Wednesday we will have Masses at 6:25am, 8:30am, Noon, and 7pm. There will also be a prayer service with ashes distributed at 4pm (UC) and 4:15pm (HFC). Fridays in Lent we will have Stations of the Cross at 7pm. Mondays, beginning February 27th, we will have our Monday Evening of Prayer starting at 6pm with a talk on prayer at 7pm. I hope Lent is a fruitful and prayerful season for you.
Dear Parishioners,
Sirach is an old Jewish man writing about 175BC, long after Israel has passed its prime. His advice isn’t so much to the nation, since the nation is effectively gone, but rather to the individual. He’s giving concrete advice to his grandson and others. He’s talking to them directly. It’s advice that we can take directly too.
