How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings
Lent is a time of inward looking at our True Beliefs, and when the World seems a totally alien place.
It has been a rather long and hard winter. Needless to say, a few days in late February and in early March of spring-like temperatures seems to have put a smile on many people’s faces.
At St. John the Evangelist, Mass is celebrated every day of the week, and has been for almost the entire history of the parish. Indeed, this practice is such an integral part of our identity that attendance at a weekday service is suggested as a Lenten observance.
As a child, I used to give up candy or movies or snacks for Lent. I couldn't quite see those things were fine to do any other time of the year, but not in Lent.
The series of Lenten masses is an amazing, but very old construct, and not always logical.
That publisheth peace ; that bringeth good tidings of good , that publisheth salvation
