Right now we are over of the mid-point of Lent. This is the time that our Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, service and char-
ity can become difficult to live. The first week or so is rather easy as we have a new challenge and fervor in mind and heart. By week
three and four, we can become overwhelmed, tempted, tired or just lazy - and begin to stray. Regardless of how faithful you have been
to your personal Lenten promises and regardless of how energized or fatigued you have become, use this week to refocus. If you have
been focused, thank God for that and stay the course. If you have fallen, do not give up hope! Pick yourself up, brush yourself off and
begin a renewed commitment.
Finally, if you have not begun anything for Lent yet, do not think it is too late. Sure, you missed part of the season, but there is
still more in the “windshield of Lent” than in the “rear view mirror.” Make a commitment now and begin! Please know that I will be
praying for you during these days. There are so many graces that are granted during these weeks of Lent. (I remind everyone again …
when it is easy God shares His graces with us. When we are “not having fun” … or “feel burdened” … or “overloaded”, but, keep going
– God shares His Love with us. Too often we just keep watching our feet … and not Who is around us the most.)
If it has been awhile – reflect upon – Footprints in the Sand:
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, You said once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered: "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”

related services. I was terminated. It’s against my conscience. I became a nurse to protect lives, not to take lives.”

Our deepest sympathies to Susan (Chad) Holsworth and family. Susan’s
sister, Diane Bryant, died as a result of an automobile accident on Fri-
day March 2. Her funeral was on Wed March 5. Eternal rest grant unto
her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine up-
on her. May her soul and the souls of all the
faithful departed, through Your mercy, rest in
peace. Amen.
