    Introduction My friends, in todays Gospel we hear a sad condemnation that the light came into the world, but

    t that people preferred the darkness. Lent is a time when we acknowledge our own personal struggle with darkness and ask for Gods grace to walk in the light. Let us begin todays worship by admitting our sinfulness and asking each other for prayer.

Toby Collins, CR, invites you to join him on the new website: www.vocationculture.ca which celebrates all vocations.

Did You Know? -- St. Patrick and the Irish Village of Slane, County Meath Our opening Hymn, Lord of all Hopefulness, has its words set to a traditional Irish melody called Slane. Slane is a small village located in the northeast of Ireland in County Meath. It has a population of approximately 2,000. It is believed it was here in the year 433 on the Hill of Slane located to the north of the village that St. Patrick lit a Paschal Fire. This action was in defiance of the High King Laoire who forbade the lighting of any other fires while a Festival Fire was burning on the Hill of Tara located about 10 miles away - and clearly visible from the Hill of Slain! Stations of the Cross and Adoration at St. Patricks As we have done in previous years, the Stations of the Cross will be celebrated in the church each Thursday evening from 7:30 7:45 p.m. during Lent in combination with the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which will follow until 8:30 p.m. You are encouraged to attend either or both celebrations. Daily Mass during Lent The 12:10 p.m. Mass will is offered every day, Monday through Friday, at St. Theresas Cathedral during Lent. Make this devotion a part of your Lenten practice. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament also takes place at St. Theresas Cathedral on Saturdays from 9;30 a.m. 3:30 p.m.

Catholic Questions and Answers Question Would absolution at a reconciliation service at which you are not obliged to confess your sins to a priest be equal to that received at private confession? Answer
    All Catholics are obliged to confess all mortal sins committed since their last confession (CCC 1456). This holds for communal penance services as well as private confessions. The only exception to this would be a case of imminent danger when general absolution is given because of the lack of time for individual confessions. But these people are still obliged to mention those sins the next time they go to confession as an expression of their sorrow. No priest has the authority to change this.

    Smile for the Day! Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.
