Lent

Since the beginning of the school year we have had two major liturgical celebrations.

The Opening College Mass set the tone for the year in terms of our Christian life and liturgy at the College. The students were very respectful during Mass and the Music was beautiful.

More recently we held an Ash Wednesday Liturgy. Once again, the students demonstrated a high level of reverence and they also listened attentively to the stories from Caritas, such as the young woman Laxmi from Nepal who is helping her community. Hopefully, this will inspire students to give generously to the Project Compassion Appeal. 

What do we want out of Lent? Jesus fasted for 40  days and 40 nights in order to discern more about who he was and the ministry that the Father had called him to. Hopefully, as Lent continues, we will be able to improve our relationship with God, with others and even with ourselves, as we seek to become more open in our  prayer with God  and more compassionate towards others.  

Prayer:

Lord, may we, like Mary Magdalene, follow Jesus faithfully in our lives. May we live lives of courage and mercy, forgiveness and tenderness as we move through the Lenten Season.

Mary Magdalene

Pray for us

Amen
