Lenten Quotes from Pope Benedict XVI: “Fasting is not merely giving up food; it is learning to hunger for God.”

Today is Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Schlarmann Academy in Danville, IL.

In the Gospel, we are called to humility.

Gospel: Matthew 23:1-12

Saint of the Day: St. Thomas Aquinas Lenten Meditation – The Passion of Christ brought about our salvation because it was a meritorious act

Saint of the Day: Saint Katharine Drexel

Marian prayer for the day: Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. 

Amen
