THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

Jesus said to them in reply, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!"

Luke 13:2-3

**************************************************

DAILY PRAYER FOR LENT
O loving God, we come to the Holy season of Lent truly sorry for our sins that have often separated us from you. We confess that we need to repent of our offenses against you which we have committed by though, word and deed. We humbly pray for your mercy and forgiveness. We pray for a new quest for holiness on our part that we may become faithful and righteous servants of Christ.

Lord guide me through these forty days of Lent. Protect me and direct me, be a cloud above me this day and a pillar of fire above me this night. Remind me to take some moments today to go with you into the mountain of prayers, where I might see you transfigured before me. Enter into my temple this day; walk around; remind me when I am too busy buying and selling, and cleanse me of my idols. Lord, help me this day to be like you: a grain of wheat willing to die so that others might live. In His name we pray. Amen

PARISH PRAYER

Dear Jesus, Help us to remember that St. Louise is our parish that is composed of all types of people, all of which are children of God. Its pews will be filled, if we help fill them. It will do great work, if we work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if we are generous. It will bring other people into its fellowship, if we bring them. St. Louise will be a Church of loyalty, love, faith, and noble spirit, if we who make it what it is, are filled with these qualities. Therefore, with the help of God, we shall dedicate ourselves to the task of being all the things that we want our Church to be.
