Introduction: Lent invites us to conversion, to a change in mindset, so that life's truth and beauty may be found not so much in possessing as in giving - Pope Francis

Today is Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Lent. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of St. Mary’s Catholic School in Fort Walton Beach, FL.

Gospel: John 5:17-30

Saint of the Day:  Thomas Aquinas Lenten reflection – The Divine FriendMarian prayer for the day: Hail, Holy Queen 

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Lead: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

Response: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
