Lenten Quotes from Pope Benedict XVI: “The journey of Lent is a journey toward the light of Easter.”

Today is Thursday of the Second Week of Lent. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Holy Family Parish School in Peoria, IL.

In the Gospel, we hear the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

Gospel: Luke 16:19-31

Saint of the Day: St. Thomas Aquinas Lenten Meditation – That the Passion of Christ brought about its effect because it was a Sacrifice

Marian prayer for the day: Prayer to Mary – St. Louis de Montfort

O Mary, my Queen, I cast myself in the arms of your mercy. I place my soul and body in your blessed care and under your special protection from this world. I entrust to you all my hopes and consolations, all my anguish and misery, my life and the end of my life. Through your most holy intercession and through your merits, grant that all my works may be directed and carried out in accord with your will and the will of your divine Son. Amen.
