It is my great joy to have been invited by
your Pastor, Father Vander Woude, to lead the Lenten Parish Mission in Holy
Trinity Parish. I gladly accepted.
A parish mission is an opportunity for
meditation on the mysteries of our Faith and for the making of fresh
resolutions to follow Jesus Christ anew.
What does it mean to love God? What does
it mean to join others as members of a parish? Let us explore these questions
during your Parish Mission.
In our restless, hurting era, it is vital
to beg the Lord for hope! Today, many despair. Perhaps we, too, have
experienced the same. Our families, our dioceses, our society . . . destruction
and turmoil have taken their toll on these basic units.
Father
Vander Woude asked that I center your Parish Mission on the Virtue of Hope. To
that end, I have chosen the theme, “The
Hope That Is In You” (1 Saint Peter 3:15). Here are the topics for our time
together.
Monday,
March 16th=“He will save
His people from their sins”: Our Lord Jesus Christ and Hope.
Tuesday,
March 17th=“I will make the
nations your heritage”: Saint Patrick and Hope.
Wednesday,
March 18th=“The Mighty One
has done great things for me”: Our Lady and Hope.
Thursday,
March 19th=“Well done, good
and trustworthy slave”: Saint Joseph and Hope.
Please
plan to be with us. Those of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.
