Today we reflect on these words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” And “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” Lent is season given to us as a gift to reflect on the purpose of our life.
As we start our Lenten Season, let us begin by praying portions of Psalm 57. St. Augustine said that it tells of our Lord’s passion.
Ant. Awake, lyre and harp, with praise let us awake the dawn.
for in you my soul has taken refuge.
In the shadow of your wings I take refuge
till the storms of destruction pass by.
My heart is ready, O God,
my heart is ready. [Adopted
from Psalm 57]
Ant. Awake, lyre and harp, with praise let us awake the dawn.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, intercede for us.
St. Irenaeus, ask God to help the Ukrainians.
May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
And with St. Francis de Sales let us remember, "We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God."
Thanks, as ever, Deacon George.
