LENT 2025
As has been our tradition for the last few years, during Lent we will use the Confiteor with the Kyrie eleison for the Penitential Rite. For our Profession of Faith we will use the Apostles Creed to help us prepare for the Renewal of our Baptismal Promises at Easter. We will also use the Prayer Over the People before the Final Blessing. These texts are printed on the back of your Mass Sheet.
Today’s Liturgy: We are presented with a warning in today’s Liturgy, “Unless you repent, you will perish”. We know we are sinners, in need of God’s mercy and forgiveness, but sometimes we are not alert enough about our spiritual health; we grow lazy and lackadaisical in our faith, we develop a blasé attitude towards God. St. Paul tells us that, “the man who thinks he is safe must be careful he does not fall”.
