Assistant Principal - Mission

As we continue our journey through Lent, the solemnity of this season deepens, inviting us to reflect on our progress and recommit to our observances of Lent.  With three weeks behind us and three more ahead, we find ourselves in a pivotal moment of spiritual growth and renewal.

During this phase of Lent, our fasting, prayer, and almsgiving take on deeper significance as we strive to stay faithful to our commitments. The initial enthusiasm may have waned, but the journey continues with unwavering determination.

In the third week of Lent, we are challenged to persevere in our fasting. As we abstain from indulgences, whether it be chocolate, entertainment, or other comforts, we are reminded of Jesus' own sacrifices in the desert. Each denial strengthens our resolve and draws us closer to the heart of Christ.

Our prayer becomes more contemplative as we seek to deepen our relationship with God. In the silence of our hearts, we listen for His voice and allow His grace to transform us. The rhythm of daily prayer sustains us, anchoring us in the midst of life's busyness.

In the spirit of almsgiving, we become more attentive to the needs of others. Whether through acts of charity, such as giving to Project Compassion, or simple acts of kindness, we extend the love and compassion of Christ to those around us. In serving others, we encounter the presence of God and experience the joy of selfless giving.

Lord, as we journey through Lent,

Grant us strength to persevere,

Guide us in prayer and reflection,

And inspire us to acts of love and mercy.

May this season of repentance

Lead us closer to You,

And prepare our hearts to celebrate

The joy of Easter.

Amen.
