WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PRAYER IN LENT AND IN OUR LIVES?
Sacrifice and the effort to serve God through His people can lead you to Lent’s special joy. As St.
Augusne said: “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song.” Prayer is an important part of our
Lenten obligaons. If you find it difficult to pray, you might simply imagine God speaking to you. His
words might sound something like this:
You don’t have to be clever to please Me; all you have to do is want to love Me. Just speak to Me as you
would to anyone of whom you are very fond.
Are there people you want to pray for? Tell Me their names, and ask as much as you like. Trust Me to do what I know best.
Is there anything you want for your soul? Tell Me if you feel guilty about anything. I will forgive you, but you have to accept My
forgiveness. Tell Me about your self-centeredness, and your laziness. I love you in spite of your faults. Do not hesitate to ask Me for
blessings for mind and body. I can give everything you need for a happier, holier life.
Are you afraid of anything? Trust yourself to Me. I am here. I see everything. I will never leave you. Have you any joys to share with
me? What has happened recently to cheer and comfort you?
Are temptaons bearing heavily upon you? Yielding to them always disturbs the peace of your soul. Ask Me, and I will help you to
overcome them. Well, go along now. Come back to me soon. Tomorrow I shall have more blessings for you.
Peace & Blessings,
Fr. Mark

DEACON’S CORNER
During the season of Lent, many people take the opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliaon so that they can
experience the joy of God’s forgiveness. I extend this as an invitaon to you to use the extra confession mes we have here at St.
Pius X. Our Lord Jesus is the light of the world; Jesus can take away our sinfulness and bring us peace. Jesus died for our sins;
there is no reason to hide our sins for the Lord (he already knows them). The world prefers the darkness, but as Chrisans we
must live in the light. Let us pray for one another as we inch closer to the celebraon of Easter. - Rev. Mr. Frank Lennie
ALL SAINTS ACADEMY CORNER
All Saints Academy is an exciting and vibrant School community that is based on Catholic faith and
