Remember that Lent is a joyful march toward holy Easter and that all the readings, rituals and penitential practices are not done mournfully, but with the Risen Christ in mind and heart. Yet, it is also a time of ritual lamentation, of acknowledging the brokenness and pain in our lives and in our world. Lent allows us to articulate the grief and anger we feel through prayer texts and song, to seek repentance and healing by turning to Christ, to do something concrete by works of charity, and to fast in order to give food to others. The prayer and action are the work of the entire community, children as well as adults. Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are not just Lenten disciplines – they are, rather, the year-round regimen of Christian living; the disciplines that many would say, form us as disciples. Lent is like a retreat. Throughout the year the church is directed out into the world, but during these 40 days we pull back into ourselves for reflection and self-examination. We make ourselves “right with God”. 
EVENING PRAYER: Christians are called in baptism to be people of prayer, to pray always, praising God and pleading for the world. Our priest-moderator, Fr. Carroll, encourages us at the beginning of Lent to be more cognizant of prayer during the Lenten season. Why not try gathering with the faith community for Evening Prayer? It only takes up a half hour of your time. We follow the format for Evening Prayer that is offered in our Catholic Book of Worship. All parishioners of our parish unit are invited & encouraged to gather for Evening Prayer on Thursday evenings at St. Bernard’s Church at 7 PM - March 13th, 20th 27th, April 3rd & 10th.
