Why
Should
We
Pray?
Prayer is a means of
communication between you and God. Prayer is, if you like, a direct line to God.
Like a mobile phone that allows you to make calls to anywhere at any time,
prayer is your permanent means of communication with God. Prayer is available to
all who believe in the power of the resurrection of Christ and accept Him as
their personal Lord and Savior. To Christians, prayer is their means of sharing
their hopes and fears, their joy and sorrows with God. It is also a means by
which they express adoration and praise to God their Father. Pray for
yourself--and for others--every day.
~God

Thanks to Bishop Muench, there will be a number of "Station
Churches" set up throughout the Diocese during Lent so Catholics can find any
number of locations for pre-Easter confession. On five consecutive Wednesday
evenings–February 24th, March 3rd, 10th, 17th
and 24th–the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered from 6-8 pm
at 17 regionally located parish churches. If you have been reluctant to come to
the Sacrament or have been away from the church for some time, or you just found
it difficult to get to a Saturday afternoon confession, this is a great
opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Penance. If you’re anxious about
preparing for the sacrament, the priest confessors will be there to welcome and
direct you. We’ll also have brochures in the back of all churches of our diocese
to guide you in preparing for the Sacrament, in addition to helpful information
in The Catholic Commentator and on our diocesan website:
www.diobr.org. There
is no more powerful way to "jump start" your spiritual life this Lent than by
receiving the grace of Reconciliation!
Reconciliation: Try any of these locations
throughout the Diocese of Baton Rouge:
Our Lady of Mercy, Baton Rouge
St. Mark, Gonzales
St. Aloysius, Baton Rouge
St. Joseph, Paulina
St. George, Baton Rouge
St. Helena, Amite
Christ the King, LSU, Baton Rouge
Holy Ghost, Hammond
St. Pius X, Baton Rouge
St. Mary of False River. New Roads

A woman was sharing information she had learned
about another.
The priest said, "For penance, I want you
to go home, take a pillow up on your roof, cut it open with a
knife, and return here to me."
So the woman went home, took a pillow off
her bed, went up the fire escape, and stabbed the pillow.
"Did you gut the pillow with the knife?"
he says. "Yes, father". "And what was the result?". "Feathers,
everywhere!" So the old priest told
her, "Now I want you to go back and gather
every last feather that flew out on the wind".
"Well", she said, "It can’t be done. I
don’t know where they went. The wind took them all over."
"And that", he
said, "is GOSSIP." |
