From the REC
Greetings to everyone,
As we look toward Easter, the most important time for Christians, I would like to re-share this prayer from the beginning of Lent.
Here is a message that I want to share which originates from Pope Francis....
- Fast from hurting words and say kind words.
- Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.
- Fast from anger and be filled with patience.
- Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope.
- Fast from worries and trust in God.
- Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity.
- Fast from pressures and be prayerful.
- Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy.
- Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to other
- Fast from grudges and be reconciled.
- Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.
I hope that you or your family may have been able to take up one or more of these actions sometime during the preparation time of Lent.
Remember it's not too late to focus on one of them in the coming week.
The beautiful thing about these are they can be actions for the whole year!
Below is a summary of the readings for Holy Week.
Have a blessed and safe Easter!
