Dear Parishioners,
 
Today is the Third Sunday of Lent.  Lent is a 40-day period of preparation for Easter and affords us with not only an opportunity for sacrifice, but an opportunity for renewal.  Webster defines renewal as “make new again, begin again and replenish.”
 
As years have gone by in my life, I have come to accept that I cannot change yesterday, tomorrow is not yet here, but I do have today and what I do with it are my decisions.  Lent affords us with the opportunity to examine our Personal and Spiritual lives and make positive changes in both.
 

An Old Irish Greeting………
 
These things I warmly wish for you,
Someone to love,
Some work to do,
A bit o ’cheer,
And a guardian angel always near,
Blessed St. Patrick’s Day!
