Faith at Home
Today is a very special Wednesday. Throughout the whole world, the Church begins to prepare for the feast of Easter. This time of penance is called Lent, and it lasts for forty days. The word “Lent” comes from a word meaning ”to lengthen” and the sun stays out longer and longer. This is very appropriate, because Christ’s Resurrection is celebrated right when the trees and flowers are “springing” back to new life. You are also invited to experience new life. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches us what we must do in order to prepare ourselves.. He invites us to give alms, to pray, and to fast. More importantly, Jesus asks that we do these things with love, and not for some reward. Lent isn’t for show. It’s about opening our hearts more fully to God’s grace. (taken from Magnifikid! Vol. 22 Part 4 Section 3)
St. Elizabeth Catholic School provides a safe and loving environment where all members of our school family become life-long learners and disciples of Christ.
