For all things that are said in the earlier parts of the Mass
by the priest, when it comes to the consecration of the
sacrament, the priest no longer uses his own language, but
he uses the language of Christ. Therefore, the word of
Christ consecrates this sacrament. — St. Ambrose
During the season of Lent, we have the responsibility to
assist our bishop in caring for our seminarians, retired
priests and other Eparchial responsibilities and charities in
Lebanon. Our goal is $2,000.00, and we have received
$600.00. It is a providential time to remember the words of
Sirach…”Give to the Most High as he has given to you,
generously, according to your means. For the Lord is one
who always repays, and he will give back to you sevenfold."
“In the cross we see the monstrosity of man, when we allow
ourselves to be guided by evil, but we also see the
immensity of God’s mercy who does not treat us according
to our sins, but according to his mercy. It is also a glorious
cross, as the dawn after a long night, because it represents
the totality of the love of God, which is greater than our
iniquity.”
