"Love, following in the footsteps of Christ, in concern and compassion for all, is the highest expression of our faith and hope… Love rejoices in seeing others grow. Hence it suffers when others are anguished, lonely, sick, homeless, despised or in need. Love is a leap of the heart; it brings us out of ourselves and creates bonds of sharing and communion."
Pope Francis    MESSAGE FOR LENT 2021

Poems of Lent

Ash Wednesday 2/17/2021
JN2172021

As we gather together,
As the body of Christ, we hear the familiar Words of God in our midst.
The Old Testament, the New Testament, the Psalms, the Gospel,
the prayers, the rituals, the Eucharist.
It’s a lot to absorb.
“Go to your inner room and pray to God in secret”
Do not be overwhelmed with what you must do.
Just come to me, with a heart that is true.
You have plenty of time to spend with me, let us love each other.
With you and I will be so rest in peace.
As you finish each day knowing I’m with you,whenever you pray.

Every Day is a New Day
JN02/20

Every day is a new day.
Every begining is a new beginning,
Try to find a new way,
to avoid and preventing sinning.
God has a given us a choice,
free will to decide what to do.
God has given us a voice,
May we speak from a heart that is true.
May we speak carefully,
Thinking before we talk,
May we speak in kindly,
As on God's path we walk.
May we not speak in hatred,
May we not speak to hurt,
May we respect what is sacred.
May our minds be alert.
That God knows everthing
as He watches from above,
may we realize all the blessings
When we speak of our God's Love.
====================================

“Lent is a season of intense prayer,

fasting, and concern for those in need.

It offers all Christians an opportunity to

prepare for Easter

by serious discernment about their lives,

with particular attention to the word of God

which enlightens the daily journey of all who believe.”

- St. John Paul II

Heavenly Father,

We your people of the Charismatic Renewal need your help.  You call us to a deeper, personal relationship with you and your Son, Jesus Christ.  We desire to do your will, yet we know that we cannot do it ourselves.  We ask you to send the Holy Spirit to refresh and renew us.  Grant us the grace to be the people that you created us to be.  Bless us with the gifts we need to go forth and touch the hearts of those you have brought into our lives.  Amen  (©RCDA-DSC-2014)
