From Deacon Ron Reno:
Good morning! Just a reminder that because of a conflict with our College of Saint Mary hosts, we will have the first Sunday in Lent on a Sunday instead of our normal time on Saturday. The service will be at 11 AM. It is a blessing for us to use this chapel. I met with the President of the college, Sister MaryAnne last Tuesday to show our our appreciation for being there. Saint John’s gave her framed inspired original artwork to have. She was very grateful, asked how it was done and said she would hang it on campus for others to see. Lynda came down to see the art before the meeting. Sister MaryAnne likes us, likes our music program and appreciates our work for God’s ministry.
Remember that Lent is a time to fall in love with our faith. Christ on the cross 
represents all of humanity and self-sacrifice, a true act of love. Saint Thomas Aquinas argues that Christ’s sacrifice was a “fitting” thing for God to do and His way to demonstrate His love for us. Saint Thomas said that Christ’s obedient death also restores the covenant that Adam broke when he disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. A great homilist would take that and run with it. Attached is last weeks homily and the litany of humility by the KANSASMONKS.ORG. May God bless us this Lenten season.
