Turn Back...

"Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning. Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the Lord your God." (Joel 2:12-13)

"Fasting is a great help to avoid sin and all that leads to it." From Pope Benedict's lenten message.

"This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Reform your lives and believe in the Gospel." Mark 1:15

Let us journey through Lent by exposing the sin in our lives. Mother Nadine Brown, in her book, "Bathe Seven Times" takes "each capital sin and how it manifests itself in our everyday lives and in our spiritual lives." She focuses on the remedies for each sin and the power of the Holy Spirit to come against it. Each section ends with an examination of conscience. This book can help expose the roots of stubborn sin in our lives.

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
