I always look forward to the beginning of Lent, which begins this Wednesday with our commemoration of Ash Wednesday. As we the Catholic faithful fill the churches on Ash Wednesday, we receive a smudge of ash on our foreheads as we hear it declared to us, “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” The Church calls us to the Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and works of charity. This year at Holy Savior and Immaculate Conception, we will follow the theme of gratitude throughout the holy season of Lent and will practice the Ignatian examen. Gratitude is such an important part of our Catholic faith. I look forward to us journeying together during this holy season and to grow together in our faith. We look forward to seeing you on Ash Wednesday and throughout the season of Lent. Blessings - Father Lincoln.
