Dear Parish Family,
The theme that was chosen for this Lent is, "A Parish Broken and Blessed." This theme continues last year's anniversary celebration and our reflection upon the Bishop's letter. The broken and blessed words recall words used at Mass during the consecration. They also can describe the life of every baptized Christian. Because we are broken and in need of a savior, we also recognize the blessedness of our life in Christ.
Blessed, the parish of St. Bernadette is blessed in so many ways. We have celebrated during the past anniversary year the gifts and generosity of the parish, yet we are also broken and acknowledge areas in which we can grow. We desire to use the days of Lent to turn more directly to Christ and live our baptismal call. It is through our Lenten practices, our parish devotions and spiritual growth opportunities that we seek to be blessed by the Lord so that we can be broken, that is, to be shared in many ways.
The season of Lent is a time of sparse decorations in the sanctuary. I do direct your attention to the sparse but rich symbolism that is presented to aid our reflection. We are blessed in the wood of the cross, for upon it hung the salvation of the world. Jesus' body was broken, that we might be blessed in his resurrection. A pot decorated with broken pieces of ceramic reminds us that together we are called to receive His love in earthen vessels. We are blessed in our community of faith at St. Bernadette. Finally, it is all draped with burlap cloth that reminds us of our need to turn from sin and selfishness so that at Easter we can be clothed more perfectly in our baptismal robe.
Please pray for one another. When was the last time you received the Sacrament of Reconciliation? Note that the Diocesan Evening of Confession is on Wednesday, March 4th from 5:00-8:00PM.
God Bless you,Father Philip
