Lent to Easter
St. Blase Journey into Lent![]() Will This Lent Change Your Life? Annually we are called to take 40 days and live in a spirit of penance. This is not a time of punishment, but a graced time to renew our Baptism. This is a season to listen carefully and examine honestly our discipleship. In what webs have we become entangled? Like the call in Mark of the first disciples, what nets must we drop in order to follow Jesus? During this season we are invited to more fully embrace Jesus’ command:
Repent, and believe in the gospel. |
Ash Wednesday![]() This marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a time of penitence leading to the Paschal Triduum after the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday. Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence. This is not a time of punishment, but a graced time to renew our Baptism. This is a season to listen carefully and examine honestly our discipleship.

Palm Sunday![]() The Catholic faithful use palm branches at Mass on Palm Sunday and bring them for home for devotional purposes. "Palm Sunday" is the popular name for the Sunday before Easter, though its full title is "Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion." Two Gospel passages are proclaimed at Mass that day: One tells of people waiving branches or spreading cloaks to welcome Jesus in triumph to Jerusalem, and the other tells of his Passion and death.
