In a matter of three weeks, we will find ourselves moving into another Holy Week. I pray that for those of you who are observing the Lenten, Season that your journey has been fulfilling thus far. If you are fasting, I pray God will sustain you in ways that will help you to endure until the end of your fast and will give you what you seek with and from the Lord, during this season. I pray that you will be fully aware of the reason for the season of Lent, and that your efforts are preparing you for the new Holy Week and for the 2026 Resurrection Sunday. As you fast and pray, this season, please remember to pray for those all over the world who share in earnest the Christian faith. Who love Jesus and have accepted Jesus as the Lord and Redeeming Savior of their lives. Pray for unity among the Body of Christ everywhere. Might we also pray together the Prayer of St. Francis: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is offense, let me bring pardon. Where there is discord, let me bring union. Where there is error, let me bring truth. Where there is doubt, let me bring faith. Where there is despair, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, let me bring your light. Where there is sadness, let me bring joy. O Master, let me not seek as much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that one receives, it is in self-forgetting that one finds, it is in pardoning that one is pardoned, it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life. Let the people say: "Amen."
