St. Michael Lenten Reconcilliation

The Light is On for You, Lenten Initiative, began on Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2018.  The Church encourages us to make reconciliation a regular part of our spiritual life, especially during the holy season of Lent, as we reflect on our baptism and repentance.  As our Lenten Journey continues, let us continue to reflect upon prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, the three traditional pillars of Lenten observance. 

I invite you to reflect on the words of Pope Francis for this Lenten season, “Once again, the Pasch of the Lord draws near! In our preparation for Easter, God in his providence offers us each year the season of Lent as a “sacramental sign of our conversion”. Lent summons us, and enables us, to come back to the Lord wholeheartedly and in every aspect of our life.”

The Diocese of Dallas will once again offer The Light is On for You, two special evenings set aside for a diocesan-wide celebration of the sacrament. On Wednesday, March 21st and Wednesday, March 28th, parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Dallas will have their “Lights On” for the diocesan-wide evenings for Reconciliation. Please check with the parish for reconciliation times offered.

In the words of Pope Francis, “Above all, I urge the members of the Church to take up the Lenten journey with enthusiasm, sustained by almsgiving, fasting and prayer. If, at times, the flame of charity seems to die in our own hearts, know that this is never the case in the heart of God! He constantly gives us a chance to begin loving anew.”
