I pray that you have a blessed Triduum and a blessed Easter! This lent has been a journey for all of us. The children learned yesterday at Mass that God gives all of us a chance to repent. Fr. Theby even mentioned how Judas had a chance to repent. We hear so much about St. Peter and how he repented, but we sometimes forget that St. Peter denied he knew Christ. St. Peter knew the Lord and he failed. Judas knew the Lord and he failed. The difference was repentance. Can we go to the Lord and ask for forgiveness when it really matters? He wants to share his love with us. He wants us to rely on him, but we have to choose to know him. We have to choose to let go and let God. As we end this Lent, my prayer is that the children grew in their love and knowledge of Christ. That they gained a better image of God as a merciful loving Father, who wants to love us. Let us all praise the Lord together on Sunday Morning for Easter coming and celebrate God's love for us in that triumph.

Definition: Patriotism is paying due honor and respect to your country, with a willingness to serve.
