"Create a clean heart in me, O God. Renew in me a right spirit." Ps 51
Happy Lent. (Although my mother used to say, "If you like Lent, you're doing it wrong.")

Tonight, Fr. Willy Raymond will be celebrating a Mass at 7pm at Family Theater for our Hollywood RCIA program. Afterwards, we will have a discussion about conscience and sin.

In the spirit of the day, no drinks or food. (sigh) Just a great way to start this most spiritually vital season.

All are invited.

Every year I ask God to send me an intention to keep me motivated in my Lenten fasts and almsgiving. This year, I am offering my ridiculous little sacrifices for three-year old Kathleen Quinn, my friends' daughter. Kathleen is undergoing a grueling course of treatment for leukemia. Please do join me in praying for Kathleen, and her whole family.
