Taize for March: Lenten Reflection
I invite you all from various places into our chapel here at Precious Blood Renewal Center as we begin our Lenten prayer.
The season of Lent invites us to follow Jesus more intensely with prayer and fasting.
Lent encourages each of us to retreat, and reflect in silence. Music arises out of silence and returns to silence. Silence allows the community to reflect on what it has heard and experienced, and to open its heart to the mystery celebrated.
May we use well the silence provided during this service.
Gracious God,
Through your Son, Jesus Christ,
You have taught us that we do not live on bread alone
But by your powerful Word.
At the beginning of this Holy Season of Lent
Help us to ponder our ways,
And walk in your truth.
Through Christ our Lord.
+Amen

During November, we celebrate those who have gone before us, our ancestors upon whose shoulders we stand. We celebrate the Feast of All Saints, All Souls Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Day. We remember their positive influence on our lives.
The Art of Invitation
An Assembling God’s Puzzle video
By Fr. Garry Richmeier, C.PP.S.
Using threats, shame and guilt to gain another’s cooperation is expedient but ineffective over the long-run. On the other hand, inviting someone to join us in a common work or goal, respects the other, is more constructive and more often results in substantive and long-lasting change.
