May Jesus Christ, the light of the world, who calls us out of darkness into his wonderful light, be with you!

Mother Nature is beginning to get back on track with the weather. We are now experiencing normal weather patterns. May we continue to experience beautiful weather ahead.

Consumers continue to see the financial challenges from food to utilities bills to gas and heating oil rising. It is affecting everyone’s budget. This also includes our Church. While your budgets are a priority, do not forget to budget the Church in your financial expenses.

We continue our season of Lent. I pray you are maintaining your Lenten obligation of prayer, charitable works, and almsgiving. Remember to take advantage of the Lenten devotions offered at our parish.

As always, keep in your prayers, our parish, homebound parishioners, our ill parishioners and those who have not returned to Church.

Our readings for today’s Mass remind us not to always look at a person’s external appearance. We tend to see appearances, but God looks into the heart. The story of David chosen to be King as told in the first reading, and the story of the blind man as told in the Gospel as primary examples. Jesus always looks into our heart. May our thoughts and heart always be in line with Jesus Christ.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Britto
