We live Lent with gratitude!

"During this season of conversion, let us renew our faith, draw from the “living water” of hope, and receive with open hearts the love of God, who makes us brothers and sisters in Christ."
- from the message of Pope Francis for Lent 2021

Fight the sin of racism with these resources: 

Honor the memory of our beloved Bishop George Murry, SJ, by watching this short video on why people of faith need to speak out against racism and act.

"Fratelli Tutti"
A call from Pope Francis to live as one family

An Ecumenical Christian Prayer
O God, Trinity of love,
from the profound communion of your divine life,
pour out upon us a torrent of fraternal love.
Grant us the love reflected in the actions of Jesus,
in his family of Nazareth,
and in the early Christian community.
Grant that we Christians may live the Gospel,
discovering Christ in each human being,
recognizing him crucified
in the sufferings of the abandoned
and forgotten of our world,
and risen in each brother or sister
who makes a new start.
Come, Holy Spirit, show us your beauty,
reflected in all the peoples of the earth,
so that we may discover anew
that all are important and all are necessary,
different faces of the one humanity
that God so loves. Amen.
(concluding prayer of Fratelli Tutti
Given in Assisi, at the tomb of Saint Francis,
on 3 October, Vigil of the Feast of the Saint, in the year 2020)

​"The Church is in a permanent state of mission."
