The Light Is On

Cardinal Sean has come up with a very pastoral and practical opportunity for Catholics in our Archdiocese this Lent: "The Light Is On For You" is the name given to the availability of the Sacrament of Reconciliation EVERY WEDNESDAY evening during Lent in EVERY parish. What a wonderful gift! This all-important sacrament for helping us achieve the "transfiguration" spoken of in Sunday's Gospel couldn't be more accessible. Despite playoff games and the new TV shows replacing the mezmerizing Olympic Games, it would really be hard to find an excuse NOT to take advantage of this golden opportunity. If we looked upon this as a chance to sit with Jesus, have a heart-to-heart conversation, rid our souls of the dust and debris of months, perhaps even years, and come to Easter with a clean heart and a fresh approach to the practice of our faith, wouldn't we run to our churches? I know that St. Monica's doors are open from 6:30 to 8:30 pm each Lenten Wednesday. Check with your own parish and mark your calendar. The light is on for us you, for us!
