THE LENTEN SEASON: A distinction is to be made between Lent and the Easter Triduum. Strictly speaking, Lent ends with the beginning of the Triduum on Holy Thursday. The Ordo notes: “Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper exclusive on Holy Thursday.”
March 1st – Ash Wednesday Mass – 7am, 9:30am, Noon, & 7:30pm Stations of the Cross Fridays during Lent 2:15pm with School (Mar 10 thru Apr 7 ONLY) & 7pm (Every Friday during Lent)
Rather than give up some trivial pleasure like candy or beer…. What about giving up 15 minutes each day to do something very meaningful toward making true repentance in our hearts and minds; something we’ve always SAID we have wanted to do but never actually do, like reading Scripture or familiarizing ourselves with the Catechism of the Catholic Church; something concrete that will help us understand the path of life that leads to ETERNAL HAPPINESS WITH GOD???
