Take the challenge...

   "Nothing is so beautiful as a pure soul, 

a soul nourished by its God.

Purify yourselves then by a good confession, 

and each Sunday 
give your soul a good meal." 

St John Vianney

Do you like challenges?  

Take one from a Saint...

"My children, make yourselves

apostles of the Holy Communion, and 

encourage the practice of it by your advice

no less than by your example. 

Come back in six months, 

and bring me, each of you, 

two or three companions

won over to your cause."

St John Vianney

To consider: St John Vianney's Feast Day is Aug 4 - in about 6 months...

Let's strive to 'meet his challenge' as a Feast Day gift to him, to the Church!

Historically, today, SHROVE TUESDAY, 

as well as the feast of the Holy Face of Jesus, 

is celebrated by the Church the day before Ash Wednesday.

On this day, Catholics traditionally confess their sins and 

partake in foods that will be abstained from through Lent. 

Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is primarily 

to make reparation for sins against

 the first three Commandments. 

"O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine

be every Adoration Thine." (3 times)
