Merciful God, you call us forth from the dust of the earth; you claimed us for Christ in the waters of baptism. Look upon us as we enter these 40 days, bearing the mark of ashes. Bless our journey through the desert of Lent to the font of rebirth. May our fasting be hunger for justice. May our alms be a marking of peace. May our prayer be the chant of humble and grateful hearts. All that we do and pray is in the name of Jesus, for in his cross you proclaim your love for ever and ever.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
