Several calls have been coming in regarding the Morning of Recollection to be held at Central Catholic High School on Saturday, March 12 from 9 am until noon. Fr. John Delaney, '79, Ms. Betty Desjardins, one of our campus ministers, and I will present some practical suggestions to help the 40 days of Lent bear lasting fruit. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for Adoration, and there will be time for reflection and adoration. We will conclude with benediction. It is open to you readers, our parents, alumni, friends and faculty. Yes, by all means bring a friend. All are welcome. Blessed Charles de Foucauld, who lived and ministered, even as a solitary in the desert of Algeria explains his role: "'Love your neighbor a yourself'. My idea of practicing this brotherly charity is to consecrate my life to helping those brothers [and sisters] who lack everything, since they lack Jesus... And I see no better way to help them than to bring them to Jesus." Our first Saturday of Lent recollection is to do precisely that: to bring us all closer to Jesus. What a way to set the tone for the rest of Lent! Come to our chapel on the 12th.
Bro. Rene
