We need to learn to fall, but to get back up immediately, to ask pardon without surprise or regret.

Item of the Week…
Crucifixes
Lenten Reflection: The Temple of Christ’s Body
In the 6th century B.C., the Jews were in exile. God sent the prophet
Ezekiel who, in a vision, was transported to Jerusalem. He saw the
restored temple in all its glory. On the right side of the temple, water
flowed into a river. God promised
that all that the water touches will
live.
This prefigures the true temple —
the Body of Christ. At the
Crucifixion, water flowed from
the right side of Jesus’ body. The
water of life. All of us who were
touched by this water in Baptism
have become temples of the Holy
Spirit. Let us live accordingly.
