Season of Preparation

As we enter this season of Lent, may you be drawn to the quiet and simplicity of surrender. May you experience the unfathomable love of God.

Lenten Guide (full guide)






New Community; this lenten season:

“May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships so that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace. May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in the world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor. Amen.”

[franciscan prayer]
