March Newsssletter 2011

Happy birthday!  Happy anniversary!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A prayer for Lent:  O Lord, open my eys that I may see more clearly the condition of my soul.  If there is darkness, mean-spiritedness, egotiistic pride - or even worse within, cleanse me from all unrighteousness.  Renew a right spirit within me and make me truly Christ-like in all my thoughts and actions.  And when I begin to edge away from your will, please stir up my conscience until I am in harmony with our again.  In Christ's name, Amen
