LENT
Lent has commenced. A great time of year to dig deep into our souls and see what needs some fixing up. For a couple of newer Lent videos, scroll down towards the bottom of this page.

In keeping with the Church’s ancient tradition, all Catholics are called in a more direct way to repentance and conversion during this time. By acts of prayer, penance and almsgiving, we strive to grow in our love of God and neighbor and to overcome our sinful habits. For more details, see our Lenten page here.

Take some time to reflect on how your life will be different during Lent. What changes will you make in your daily routine? What spiritual exercises you will undertake as you prepare to celebrate the great Feast of Easter? With God’s help, make plans to grow in His love during Lent. If you aren’t in a small group, try one out. See here for all our groups.

FAMILY FAITH FORMATION
The next session is on March 4th at SL and on March 11th at SP. For at home sheets (for off weeks) and other FFF information, click here.

FROM THE PASTOR
We’re a couple days into the holy season of Lent, and for some reason, I’m craving bacon cheeseburgers more than normal. While Lent is traditionally a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, it’s also a time of penitence, where we do our part to cooperate with God’s grace and overcome our disordered tendencies. When we pray, fast, and give alms to those in need we seek to more fully imitate Christ and allow Him to guide our lives more fully.

Last week, we reflected briefly on what it means to actually participate in the liturgy of the Church. Whenever we’re at Mass and enter in to the heavenly liturgy with the angels and saints, we offer our prayers and needs to the Lord. As I was reflecting on my own seminary training (which for some reason, I think, was brought on by bacon cheeseburger cravings and reading a book by Cardinal Sarah) on how to celebrate the Sacraments with the mind of the Church, I was reminded of one piece of “advice” that was given to my classmates and myself: disappear into the prayer.

In a sense, he was telling us all to get over ourselves regarding the celebration of the Mass as the priest-celebrant is not to be the center of attention. Everything we priests do should not call attention … (click here to view Father Kris’ entire message).
—Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us.

FIRST SATURDAY MASSES
We now offer Masses in honor of the First Saturday devotion at St. Luke’s at 9:00am. The Mass is followed by normal Confession time. The First Saturday devotion is in keeping with the Blessed Mother’s request to St. Lucia to offer prayers of reparation for sins committed throughout the whole world.

Meet Monsignor Joseph Buh, the Duluth priest who could become America’s next saint.

The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
