Lent Disciples Lecture Series
Lent is right around the corner! Wednesday, February 17 is Ash Wednesday--when Catholics all over the world will be marked with ashes on their foreheads as a sign of mortality and repentance. Have you already decided what you might do in the areas of PRAYER, FASTING and ALMSGIVING. Lent is a special season of grace to purge from our lives those things that keep us from following God with our whole hearts and minds and with all of our strength. What are the things that hold me back from growing spiritually: some bad habit?, maybe some material possession?, some hurt or hatred?, self-centeredness? How can I grow in union with Christ who suffered and died for me? This Lent take advantage of the Disciples Lecture series held prior to the 7:00 p.m. Stations of the Cross on Friday evenings. The Lecture will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be over 5 minutes before Stations of the Cross will begin.
