Pastoral Reflections- Fr. Tim Wenzel

2nd Sunday of Lent

I encourage you to try to capture the true meaning of Lent.  Set a side quality time each day to pray and to attend Stations of the Cross on Fridays of Lent.  This Holy Season is a time of self denial and serious fasting.

"A Lenten Fast" by Rev. Arthur Lichtenberg
Fast from judging others; feast on Christ living in them.
Fast from anger; feast on patience.
Fast from pessimism; feast on optimism.
Fast from worry; feast on gratitude for the good we see in others.
Fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness.
Fast from self-concern; feast on compassion for others.
Fast from personal anxiety and discouragement; feast on eternal hope through Jesus.
Fast from everything that separates you from the Lord; feast on everything that draws you to the Lord.


Happy 90th Birthday!
