teachings, he professes love, forgiveness and acceptance.
In fact, when ask the question during our Fourth Grade
Retreat of , “In what ways did Jesus bring hope to his
people?”, the students answered ……Love …..Forgiveness
……Acceptance. As we continue
to assess our lives in a world of
multicolors and not just in black
and white, we need to remember our world is the
same as when Jesus was teaching. To remember, we
need to “Love” ourselves and others, “Forgive” our-
selves and others and “Accept” ourselves and others.
If we get that far during Lent, then God would be very
proud of us because he is a wonderful, loving God
who’s desire is to see us continue to grow and become more of who, how,
where and what we are everyday.
God Bless

Lord,
May you continue to provide strength during the time of Lent for us to pray, ask
questions of ourselves, nurture our resolve, renew our faith and help us continue
to grow in your son’s image with Love, Forgiveness and Acceptance.
We ask this in your name,
Amen.
