READ HERE a special Lenten message from Bishop Robert McManus, the Bishop of the Diocese of Worcester.
In Lent, the baptized are called to renew their baptismal commitment as others prepare to be baptized through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, a period of learning and discernment for individuals who have declared their desire to become Catholics.
The key to fruitful observance of these practices is to recognize their link to baptismal renewal. We are called not just to abstain from sin during Lent, but to true conversion of our hearts and minds as followers of Christ. We recall those waters in which we were baptized into Christ's death, died to sin and evil, and began new life in Christ.
-United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)

These are the very first words of scripture that the Church gives us for Ash Wednesday Mass, words that provide a powerful foundation and purpose for our Lenten journey. During this Lenten season here at Saint Boniface, we will reflect upon and focus on these words as we seek to grow closer to God in our daily lives.
Across the world, Catholics journey individually and as communities, following the pattern of Jesus’ sojourn in the wilderness, through practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The purpose of the practices of Lent include spiritual growth and conversion of heart.
In these holy days, accept the invitation to listen to Jesus and deepen your response to his offer of love. With confidence and trust, we embrace our role as witness and follower once again in the journey to Calvary.
Let us return to the Lord!
-Fr. Anthony
