May we, filled with the zeal for God that filled St. Patrick, strive to bring the good news of God’s joy & love to all that we encounter. St. Patrick converted so many through his preaching & witness, each of us can do the same. Where is the Ireland that we are being sent to? How is God calling us to bring others to faith in His Son?
In this week’s reflection on the 8th Station, Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem, David Knight reflects that “Onlookers just see what happens. Leaders ask, ”Why?” and “What can I do about it?”
Greetings, everyone! On the Fridays of Lent, we have the opportunity to pray the Stations of the Cross. The Stations are prayed at 9:00 am at St. Vincent de Paul & at 7:00 pm @ St. Patrick, please join us for either time as we walk the way of the cross with our Lord.
Whatever practices we’ve undertaken during these Lenten days...our prayer, fasting, & almsgiving, shouldn’t they be practices that are going to intentionally help us to be a more loving, caring, compassionate disciple of Jesus Christ? They should.
I know that over the past month or so, you’ve been hearing about some of the upcoming changes that we’re looking at around both parishes, especially when it comes to our Masses. It’s not easy to think about change, is it?
