Lenten Quotes from St. John Paul II: “Do not be afraid to enter the desert of Lent; there you will find Christ waiting.” Today is Friday of the First Week of Lent. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Holy Spirit Regional Catholic School in Huntsville, AL. In the Gospel, Jesus tells us how we may enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Gospel: Matthew 5:20-26 Saint of the Day: Thomas Aquinas Lenten Meditation –The Feast of the Holy Lance and the Nails of Our Lord Marian prayer for the day: Prayer to Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows – St. Bonaventure O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and death of your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of compassion, and awaken in my heart a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of my sins, in order that being disengaged from all undue affection for the passing joys of this earth, I may sigh after the eternal Jerusalem, and that henceforward all my thoughts and all my actions may be directed towards this one most desirable object. Honor, glory, and love to our divine Lord Jesus, and to the holy and immaculate Mother of God. Amen.
