We are mid-way through holy Lent. How are you living out this season of renewal and conversion of heart? How have you changed the order and discipline in your life? Have you strengthened your prayer, used the discipline of fasting, offered yourself in a work of mercy? Look at these three disciplines outlined below.
Prayer: Come and join me at our Lenten Penance Service this Monday (the 8th of March), beginning at 7:00 pm. Come and pray for the renewal of the parish. Come and receive the blessing of the Presence of the Lord, in and through the Sacrament of Penance & Reconciliation.
Fasting: Sadly, this common spiritual practice has fallen out of favor, out of use. If you read the sacred scripture, if you listen to the teaching of the saints of God, you know that fasting is an extraordinary discipline that allows the heart "room" to grow in love. Through the intentional discipline fasting (eating one meal a day, with little else), we combat the inordinate attachment some of us have for the good things of life. Along with fasting, the Church also asks of us to abstain from meat each Friday, remembering the Passion of the Lord on Good Friday.
