"Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not
with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we
will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism."-- Pope Benedict XVI

Loving and Provident God, Creator of all and Builder of the Universe, We, the parish family of our Lady of
the Rosary, humbly ask your continued blessing on the spiritual, human and financial commitment we have
made for the building of our new Church and the fulfillment of Your Kingdom on earth. Unless You build the
house, we labor in vain to build it. Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of God, St. Joseph the Builder,
bring to perfection the good work You have begun in us. We ask this through Christ the Lord. Amen.
