Lenten Message

2019

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Unless we tend constantly towards Easter, towards the horizon of the Resurrection, the mentality expressed in the slogans “I want it all and I want it now!” and “Too much is never enough”, gains the upper hand. The root of all evil, as we know, is sin, which from its first appearance has disrupted our communion with God, with others and with creation itself, to which we are linked in a particular way by our body. This rupture of communion with God likewise undermines our harmonious relationship with the environment in which we are called to live, so that the garden has become a wilderness (cf. Gen 3:17-18). Sin leads man to consider himself the god of creation, to see himself as its absolute master and to use it, not for the purpose willed by the Creator but for his own interests, to the detriment of other creatures. Once God’s law, the law of love, is forsaken, then the law of the strong over the weak takes over. The sin that lurks in the human heart (cf. Mk 7:20-23) takes the shape of greed and unbridled pursuit of comfort, lack of concern for the good of others and even of oneself. It leads to the exploitation of creation, both persons and the environment, due to that insatiable covetousness which sees every desire as a right and sooner or later

destroys all those in its grip. to be continued...

The Annunciation of the Lord, March 25th

The Feast of the Annunciation is one of the most important in the Church

calendar. First, it celebrates the actual Incarnation of Our Savior -- the

Word made flesh in the womb of His mother, Mary. Second,

it is a principal Marian feast. The biblical account of

the Annunciation is in the first chapter of the Gospel

of St. Luke, which describes the news given

to Mary that she was to become the mother of Jesus.

Sacrament of Penance

On Saturday, April 6, 2019,

in every parish church

across the diocese

a priest will be available

from 10am – 2pm

to hear individual confessions. There

will also be Eucharistic Adoration

during this time. No matter how long it

has been, you are welcome to celebrate

the Sacrament of Penance, which assists

us in spiritual discipline as we turn away

from sin and open our hearts to

reconciliation and healing. You can also

come just to pray before the Lord.
