Bishop Leahy - The commitment to Ukraine in terms of giving and prayer, must continue. The light of hope will ultimately overcome darkness. Just as the Lenten experience.”

Maybe this brief glimpse of Jesus in all his glory is also meant for us today. Perhaps we too need to be encouraged and strengthened by Jesus, especially as we continue our journey through Lent.

“I alone cannot change the world. But I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa

As we grow in holiness, knowledge of our faults disturbs us more........

In today's Gospel Jesus is asking us to put our own house in order before trying to reform others. This is surely an appropriate invitation to all of us as we are about to begin the Holy season of Lent.

We ask parents/guardians who are planning their child's baptism to read the attached leaflet as preparation for the holy sacrament.

By following the example of Jesus we are asked to offer each other the hand of peace, reconciliation and forgiveness. Somebody has to have the courage to take the first step to stop the violence.

Our vocation as Christians is not to be first in this world, but rather to be first in the eyes of God. We are challenged to examine our present situation in the context of our ultimate horizon, the Kingdom of God.
