PARISH LENT PENANCE SERVICE April 14 2:00
Nativity of Mary Lenten Theme 2019
The Liturgy Committee has designated this year's Lenten Theme as "Encounters through the Lenten Journey." We encounter Christ through many different people in the Gospel Readings during Lent. With each encounter, we draw closer to Jesus and the great Paschal mysteries ahead during the Triduum. This Lent, you will see the church decor inspired by mountains and mountain climbers. As stated in Living Liturgy, a resource published by Liturgical Press - "Mountains are traditional places where we encounter God's glory." This year we will reframe the Lenten journey as a slow yet steady climb toward the hill of Golgotha where the ultimate glory of the Father will be revealed in the sacrifice of his Son.
March 16: At Seedtime: Celebrating a Day of Prayer
In the past, the Church marked certain times of the year with Ember Days and Rogation Days. These included prayers for the Blessing of Seeds at Planting Time, as well as prayers for the Blessing of Fields and Gardens. At the beginning of the planting season in late winter or early spring, it is traditional for farmers to seek God’s blessing on their crops. Whether or not we live in rural communities, we may wish to ask God’s protection for seeds (or young plants) in our fields and gardens, especially in the season of Lent. Seeds represent a microcosm of all life. By our prayer, we acknowledge God’s control over creation and our stewardship of it. Dioceses all over the country are free to establish their own supplementary days of prayer. This is one of several for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, which has designated March 16 as a Diocesan Day of Prayer: At Seedtime.
