February 25 - St. John XXIII Catholic School
Leadership Message
Lenten Blessings,
As we have been chatting about at school, Lent is a time for strengthening our faith, a time to reflect on who we are and where we are going. It is a time of quietness and prayer, a time of penance and meditation, a time to become aware of our strengths and weaknesses. During Lent, we enter into Jesus’ redemption by choosing to look at ourselves, at how we talk and listen, how we think and act, how we are with others. Lent provides many opportunities for people to chose to do renewing activities, such as visiting someone who is lonely, giving up something like television, spending a certain amount of time in prayer, choosing a fast, attending daily Mass as a family or making the stations of the cross. In whatever you do, may you find the warmth of Christ in your lives.
Peace in Christ,
Mrs. Melnyk
PS: I stumbled across the great family resource if you are interested in some Lenten activities to do with your children - there are some pretty cool ideas at : http://www.catholicicing.com/
