Make this Lent Radical
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, where we are marked with ashes. The ashes on our forehead remind us of the human condition: Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
The Church asks us to increase our prayer, fasting and almsgiving. True fasting and prayer should make us more aware that nothing on earth can ultimately satisfy us. We are, as St. Augustine famously wrote, made for God and so our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
Our priest asked us today in his homily to take time during Lent and listen. Most of us increase our spiritual activities during Lent but do we always keep an ear to what God wants for us and listening to His will in our lives. Make time to listen and see what you hear.
Getting ready for Lent
Father Farfaglia, pastor of St. Helena of the True Cross of Jesus Catholic Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, shares a Lenton Preparation Message, “Getting Ready for Lent.” Make it a great one!

What is Clean Monday?
Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent 2012 in the Roman Catholic Church. But for Catholics of the various Eastern rites, Lent will begin two days earlier, on Clean Monday.
Clean Monday is a reminder that we should begin Lent with good intentions and a desire to clean our spiritual house. It is a day of strict fasting for Eastern Catholics, including abstinence not only from meat but from eggs and dairy products as well. On Clean Monday and throughout Great Lent, Eastern Catholics frequently pray the Prayer of St. Ephrem the Syrian.
Thank God for good music – unreleased from Mumford
A new, unreleased song from Mumford & Son, Lover’s Eyes
Love was kind for a time
But now just aches and it makes me blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
But I can’t see the others other in my life
We too young and heads too strong
To bear the weight of these lovers eyes
I feel numb beneath your tounge
Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
And let me die where I lie
Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes
There is no drink or drug I’ve tried
To rid the curse of these lover’s eyes
I feel numb beneath her tounge
Her stength just makes me feel less stong
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
And let me die where I lie
Beneath the curse of my lovers eyes
I walk slow
I walk slow
Take my hand help me on my way
Hahh…
