Dear Blessed Sacrament Families, 

I had the privilege of sitting in the front row with some of our Pre-K students at Ash Wednesday Mass this morning. What a blessing to have a full church – so many are eager to participate in the earthy sign language of the Church, receiving ashes on their foreheads. Sitting so close to the priests distributing ashes, I heard the phrase “Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return” hundreds of times. It became a litany as we all sat in prayer, recalling our own mortality and need for repentance.  

As we begin this holy season, let us pray for each other, that this Lent may be not only an avenue for conversion, but also a reminder of God’s infinite love for us.      

In Jesus our Eucharistic King, 

Sister Marie Caritas, CK
