May Jesus Christ who forgives our sins and brings us healing, be with you!

Today we celebrate the last Sunday of Ordinary Time.  On Wednesday, we begin the season of Lent.  We are called to pray and fast and to focus our spiritual lives on a deeper level, with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Before we exit this season, we are once again reminded of Jesus' mission and role of healing and forgiveness.  This is a pre-empt to what we can experience during the season of Lent.

Looking forward to the Lenten Journey that will lead us to the joy of Easter, may we humbly receive today both the challenge of God's Word and the comfort of God's generous pardon.

We are called to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, and to be imitators of him.  May today, and the coming season of Lent, be a time of healing, strength, hope and a deeper understanding of our relationship with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  May we all be "Blessed by the Best."

Peace,

Msgr. Britto
