“I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months will go to Confession, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the rosary, and keep company with me during a quarter of an hour, meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the rosary, with the intention of making reparation to my Immaculate Heart for all the offences and outrages it receives from ungrateful men.”
Lent is a sacred season of penance and spiritual preparation, leading us to the celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. During this holy time, the faithful are called to seek the Lord through fervent prayer and meditation on Sacred Scripture, to practice charity through almsgiving, and to embrace self-discipline through fasting and acts of penance.
"Salvation came through the Cross."
During Lent, we will follow the Stations of the Cross on each Friday evening. Exceptionally, on Fridays March 7, March 14 & March 21 at 6 p.m.

“The Immaculate Heart of Mary signifies her great purity and love for God. Her heart, free from original sin and personal sin throughout her life, reflects her complete devotion and obedience to God's will, exemplified in her acceptance of the Incarnation and her participation in Jesus' redemptive mission.”(Catechism of the Catholic Church 511; Marians of the Immaculate Conception; EWTN)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Come, Holy Spirit! Enlighten my understanding in order that I may know your commands; strengthen my heart against the snares of the enemy; enkindle my will. I have heard your voice, and I do not want to harden my heart and resist, saying, “Later …. Tomorrow.”
Nunc coepi! Right now! Lest there be no tomorrow for me.
O Spirit of truth and of wisdom, Spirit of understanding and of counsel, Spirit of joy and peace!
I want what you want, because you want it, as you want it, when you want it. Amen.
Our Father . . .
- Come Holy Spirit, come through the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well beloved spouse.
Hail Mary . . .
- Come Holy Spirit, come through the powerful intercession…
Glory Be . . .
- Come Holy Spirit, come through the powerful intercession…
Holy and divine Spirit! Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, your spouse, bring the fullness of your gifts into our hearts. Comforted and strengthened by you, may we live according to your will and may we die praising your infinite mercy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray.
O God, who has taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we may be always truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer For Purity of Body And Mind
Lord, set aflame my heart and my entire being with fire of the Holy Spirit, that I may serve you with chaste body and pure mind. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (Lk. 1:39-42)

Sunday April 2nd we celebrate the Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion at regular Sunday Mass times.
Trust in God—as the Rock of our salvation, as the Lord who made us His chosen people, as our shepherd and guide. This should be the mark of our following of Jesus.
Like the Israelites we recall in this week’s Psalm Response, we have made an exodus, passing through the waters of Baptism, freeing us from our bondage to sin. We too are on a pilgrimage to a promised homeland, the Lord in our midst, feeding us heavenly bread, giving us living waters to drink (see 1 Corinthians 10:1-4).
We must take care to guard against the folly that befell the Israelites, that led them to quarrel and test God’s goodness at Meribah and Massah.
We can harden our hearts in ways more subtle but no less ruinous. We can put our trust in possessions, squabble over earthly inheritances, kid ourselves that what we have we deserve, store up treasures and think they’ll afford us security and rest.
All this is “vanity of vanities,” a false and deadly way of living, as this week’s First Reading tells us.
This is the greed that Jesus warns against in this week’s Gospel. The rich man’s anxiety and toil expose his lack of faith in God’s care and provision. That’s why Paul calls greed “idolatry” in the Epistle this week. Mistaking having for being, possession for existence, we forget that God is the giver of all that we have, we exalt the things we can make or buy over our Maker (see Romans 1:25).
Jesus calls the rich man a “fool”—a word used in the Old Testament for someone who rebels against God or has forgotten Him (see Psalm 14:1).
We should treasure most the new life we have been given in Christ and seek what is above, the promised inheritance of heaven. We have to see all things in the light of eternity, mindful that He who gives us the breath of life could at any moment—this night even—demand it back from us.
