OLMP CATHOLIC SCHOOL - February 2018
Principal's Message
As we approach the season of Lent, we are reminded that this special season provides all of us with a time to prepare for the essence of our faith—Jesus died to save us. We will prepare for Easter by making our individual Lenten promises to serve as reminders that Lent is a time to change the things in our lives which separate us from Jesus.
Prayer for Lent
Blessed are you, O Lord our God, You have made the sun to light the day and the moon and stars to light the night. Help us walk in your light. During this season of Lent, renew us through the gift of your Holy Spirit. Help us grow in faith, hope, and love. During this special time, we remember that Jesus died and rose from the dead, so that we might be free to love. Help us grow to be the people you call us to be -- - letting go of old habits of selfishness, - forgiving those who have hurt us, - giving quality time to our families, - spending time in quiet prayer.
