Our Lenten Journey
I hope your Lenten journey is going well. Fasting is an integral part of Lent. What do we fast from?
Most people fast from food because that is the easiest thing to do. We feel greater hunger or thirst when we fast from food and water. It reminds us of our frailty and helps us be more humble. Without humility, our experience of God really can't be unlocked. When we fast and pray, it makes our prayers even more powerful. We must also remember that our fasting should not come out of dieting or pride but out of the love of God. We can also fast from all evil and negative things that bring us down. Let our fast get us closer to God during this Lenten season.
We have two important saint feast days coming up. Tomorrow, we celebrate the Memorial of St. Patrick, and on Sunday, March 19, the feast of St. joseph. St. joseph is the patron saint of workers, and many blessings have been granted to St. Francis School by praying for his intercession. We have a statue of St. Joseph, the worker on our school grounds to honor this humble and righteous saint.
St. Patrick, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
Sincerely in Christ,
Elizabeth Joseph, Principal
