We are continuing our journey during Lent during this second weekend of Lent. Last week, our Diocese had a convocation of priests, deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers, as we heard Dr Ralph Martin speak about his book, The Desire of All Fulfillment, which addresses the spirituality and approaches to prayer by seven saints of the Catholic faith. One of the saints included in the book is St Teresa of Avila, a 16th century Carmelite nun who reformed the Carmelite order. Addressing our Lenten theme of gratitude, St Teresa stated, “If souls are humble, they will be moved to give thanks.” Out of our humility we are to give thanks to the Lord for the joys and blessings we have in life, but also for the struggles and challenges that help us grow on our journey. We look forward to our continuing Lenten journey and we give thanks for all those who are helping in the liturgies and activities we have in our parishes of Holy Savior and Immaculate Conception during Lent. Have a blessed week everyone - Father Lincoln.
