Mass, Sacred Heart today 8 & 4. It is not a Holy Day of Obligation but all seem to feel the need to receive those ashes. Today is a day of fasting and begins the penitential rite of Lent.

Was looking over the yard yesterday. It is brown, cluttered with leaves, sticks, clumps of snow… A total mess. To my mind came, Spring is coming, this will have to be cleaned up soon. That’s sort of what the season of lent is. It is our time to clean up the backyard of our lives. This is the time to collect all the trash, diligently remove it from ourselves and hand it over to Christ so that he can take it with him to the Cross and we can be resurrected with him on Easter. Lent is the time to get out the trash bags, fill them with everything that prevents us from standing before the Son of Man. Make the time to do this and hand your baggage to our Lord.
Know you are prayed for.
