LENTEN SEASON

Lent offers us all a very special opportunity to grow in our relationship with God and to deepen our commitment to a way of life, rooted in our baptism. In our busy world, Lent provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon our patterns, to pray more deeply, experience sorrow for what we've done and failed to do, and to be generous to those in need.

Lord, Let everything I do this day and in this season of Lent come from you, be inspired by you.
I long to be closer to you.

Help me to remember that nothing is important in my life

unless it glorifies you in some way.
It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day of my life

and keep saying,"Tomorrow, I will spend more time in prayer,"

but now my longing meets your love and I want to do it now.

Help me to rely on you for help.
The prayer asks you that I reach perfection.

Please, Lord, remind me

that "perfection" isn't the crazy, "successful" way I try to live my life,

but a perfection of my most authentic, real self.

My "perfection" might be holding my many flaws in my open hands,

asking you to help me accept them.
Heal me, Lord, and help me to find you in the darkness of my life.

Let me reach out in this darkness and feel your hand and love there to guide me.

MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos will enjoy two successive long weekends starting this week, after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared Monday a holiday. Pursuant to her “holiday economics,” Arroyo declared Monday, April 6 a holiday since Araw ng Kagitingan, which recalls the bravery of World War II veterans, would fall on Holy Thursday. This is contained under Proclamation 1699, which lists down all the holidays for 2009. There will be only two working days next week, Tuesday (April 7) and Wednesday (April 8). Thursday and Friday are regular holidays as part of the Catholics’ commemoration of the Lenten season.
