Jesus, we have the best intentions of making this the best Lent we have ever
had, then life gets in the way.
But, in You, it is never too late to come back to You with all our heart, soul
and mind.
Let us focus on Your amazing love that You have for us and bring us back to
adoration, where we can come and adore You.
Let us realize that Lent isn't just a time to give something up, but really more
a time for metanouia (a change of heart).
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday BAPTISM AND BLINDNESS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/3/2011
"So the man went off and washed, and came back able to see." -John 9:7
Three weeks from today will be Easter Sunday. On this most holy day, in every
Catholic Church throughout the world, the Lord will call us to renew our
baptismal promises by renouncing Satan and professing our faith in God the
Father, Son, and Spirit. The Lord is not calling us to merely rerun our professions
of faith from past years. He is challenging us to profess and live a stronger faith
than ever before. We have had another year of living in His love. Therefore, we
should know Him better, love Him more deeply, believe in Him more strongly,
and be ready to profess a stronger faith this Easter.
However, many of us have let ourselves be blinded by the god of the present age
(2 Cor 4:4). Although we've spent another year with the Lord, we've been blind to
His constant love. We desperately need the Lord to heal our blindness. When we
see the light, we'll see Jesus loving us. In the light of His love, we'll believe in
Him as never before (Jn 9:38-39). Then we will be ready to celebrate the Easter
Vigil, proclaim Jesus our Light and Love, renew our baptismal promises, and be
"light in the Lord" (Eph 5:8).
Monday LET YOUR VOICE REJOICE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/4/2011
"There shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create." -Isaiah 65:18
Tuesday DEPTH CHARGE

"The water had risen so high it had become a river." -Ezekiel 47:5

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
LENT AND BAPTISM
INTENSE JOURNEY
As she awaits the definitive encounter with her Spouse in the eternal
Easter, the Church community, assiduous in prayer and charitable works,
intensifies her journey in purifying the spirit, so as to draw more
abundantly from the Mystery of Redemption the new life in Christ the Lord...
"JOYFUL AND EXULTING ADVENTURE"
This very life was already bestowed upon us on the day of our Baptism,
when we "become sharers in Christ's death and Resurrection", and there
began for us "the joyful and exulting adventure of His disciples" (homily 1/10/2010).
