Jesus’ desire for you this Lent is that you would give Him your heart and come to know Him more deeply. The readings at Mass on Ash Wednesday give us some guidance on how to stay focused when they introduce us to the three pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
In deciding what to do this Lent, you may want to begin by asking God, “What needs to change in my life so that I may become closer to you? What will bring me into deeper relationship with Jesus?” Take this question to prayer and listen to how God is responding.
Some ideas and a few special opportunities to help you lean into the challenge of Lent can be found here and on our Parish Lenten Flyer.
Pray with Fr. Jerry through the events of the Jesus’ suffering and crucifixion each week at the St. Mary Site. Note: There will be no Stations at 5:30PM on March 3 or April 7.
