Our human experiences often focus on preparation and transformation: preparing dough to bake into bread; fermenting grapes for wine; becoming a laborer or a teacher through instruction and education.
These themes are carried through in our faith: simple bread and wine become the Eucharist; Christ suffers and is then transfigured; death becomes life.
Lent is also a reflection of these human and divine themes. We prepare for Easter through almsgiving, fasting and prayer. In the process, we are transformed, made ready to renew our Baptismal promises and celebrate the resurrection.
The Brothers of our Provincialate and Holy Family Communities would like to support you as you prepare your heart, mind, and spirit during Lent. From now until Easter they are including your prayers and adding their own for you during their services every day when you send them your intentions. Simply CLICK HERE to fill out and submit the request form, if you haven't already done so.
On the behalf of all of us here at the Lasallian Christian Brothers Foundation, we wish you a rewarding season of Lent and a most blessed Easter.
Fraternally,
Brother Mark Murphy, FSC
