Jesus makes it clear that the real temple of God lies within us. His cleansing of the Temple in Jerusalem calls us all to cleanse ourselves. We have the days of Lent to make a special effort to become less selfish and more loving – to renew and deepen our covenant with God. As Catholics, we have the beautiful Sacrament of Reconciliation to cleanse ourselves from our sins and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter. Our parish Lenten Penance Service is scheduled for Wednesday, March 14 at 7 pm. Even if its been a while, consider attending so that you can feel the power of forgiveness, so that you can feel the forgiveness of Jesus on the Cross.
Adults: From what do you need to be cleansed this Lenten season?
Children: What can you do to have a ‘clean’ heart as we prepare for Jesus’ resurrection?
