March 2010 Lent

+JMJ We are half way through Lent and have begun our three scrutinies with the “Elect” of our parish in their immediate preparation for the Sacraments of Initiation of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist! Time is passing quickly and the Easter Vigil will be April 3, 2010! Construction or de-construction is quickly happening as photos in our last blog indicate. We are posting further photos of our convent-home with the roof removed. Parishioners in our neighborhood have begun to ask what is happening to our home and where are we presently living as the construction work is very obvious now! Truly a time of stripping away as reflective of this time of Lent in which we are to strip away bad habits, vices that impede our growth in love for the Lord and others. May this Lent continue to be a time of spiritual renewal as we watch the demolition of our physical home and await the new construction…united in prayer for all of you…
