Jesus.

yourself to Confession this Lenten season. Every Parish in

As our class prepares to receive
the Sacraments of Initiation and
enter the Church at Easter, we
look at some of the things they
are doing to prepare:
January 30th: We attended a
retreat at Holy Trinity, Chosen in
Christ, put on by the Archdiocese.
February 14th: Our Parish will
send them off to their next phase
in RCIA at the 10:30 Mass, where
the Archbishop will celebrate Fr.
Ric's installation as Pastor.
February 16th: Those in the class
who wish to continue their journey
to Catholicism, will attend the Rite
of Election and Call to Continuing
Conversion, which marks a
significant step in the process.
Archbishop Naumann chooses
them, elects them, in the name of
the Lord and our Church, where
they belong.
Throughout Lent, the parish will
pray for the class several times
during Mass during minor rites.
Thank you for keeping our class in
your prayers!

School of Religion
Ash Wednesday
As Catholics, Ash
Wednesday begins our
Lenten journey to the
great celebration of
Easter. This yearly
Lenten journey is also a
reminder to us that we
are pilgrims on this earth. Our whole life is a journey to Heaven. The
Paschal Mystery of Christ is ONE. His passion, death, Resurrection
and Ascension are one act, one offering. As we begin this somber
season, we focus more so on Jesus passion and death, but we also
keep in mind the joy to come in the celebration of His Resurrection and
Ascension. Each Lent is just a short walk in our life long journey to
Heaven. We have been brought into the life of the Blessed Trinity and
made children of God through the waters of Baptism. We continually
receive an out pouring of mercy and grace through Confession and the
Eucharist. These Sacraments remove the obstacles of our sin and
strengthen us for our continued journey.
In our world today, Lent is truly a gift. This holy season calls us
to slow down and to simplify. What is it in your life that distracts you
from prayer? Make a commitment to set those things aside and to renew your prayer life. Whatever you choose to fast from or focus on this
Lent, may it be a source of renewal for your personal relationship with
Jesus.

Marriage Minute-Do you ever wonder if Jesus notices you and your family
when it seems like every other need in the world is more important than
yours? We can sometimes think, “With all the problems in the world from
terrorism, to hunger, to pollution, to poverty, how can Jesus have time for my
desires and needs?” In this week’s Gospel, Peter has worked all night and
caught no fish. His mind was probably filled with the thought we’ve all had at
one time or another, “How will we pay the bills?” When Jesus appeared on the
scene, Peter could have sent him away to deal with more important matters
like Roman occupation and leprosy. But instead he allows Jesus to get in his
boat. And he receives miraculously more than he could have imagined. This
week, Jesus is waiting to be invited in to that big presentation at work, the pile
of dishes in the sink, your son’s math test, and your hurt feelings from that
spat you had with your spouse last night. Yes, there are worse problems out
there, but these are your problems and they matter to Him. Why not invite Him
in and see what miracles are waiting? This Sunday also kicks off National
Marriage Week. We invite you to come celebrate with Archbishop Naumann at
Holy Mass at Holy Trinity Parish in Lenexa at 6:30 pm. Following Mass,
national speaker and author, Jon Leonetti, will present, “The Mission of the
Family.” This evening would be an excellent way to invite Jesus into your boat.
