Dear Friends,
Each year, our Lenten experience is different because there
are always national and international events which grab our
attention. Our cold winter in Montreal and all the snow our
fellow Canadians and Americans have received on the Eastern
seaboard. I have been bothered by all the young adult North
American and European men & women going off to be
mentored in the use of violence to condemn their fellow
country men and women.
It is my hope that we (you and I) can bring these concerns
to our Lenten & Easter celebrations. Then renewed in faith by
our different Holy Week celebrations, with a mature, balanced
and wise belief in Jesus the Risen One, we can go out and be
good mature mentors in our homes, places of recreation and
work. Let us share a Saving God, and not a Condemning God,
with each other.
Have a happy and blessed Easter Season,
Fr. Fred
