“Come let us return to the Lord, it is He who has wounded us, but he will heal us; He has struck us, but He will bind our wounds. He will revive us after two days; on the third day He will raise us up…Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord; as certain as the dawn is His coming.”Hosea 6:1-3. Pope Francis said, “The thing the Church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we have suffered and at times gone astray. Use our struggles Lord to bring us back toYou, bind up our wounds, and bind us to Yourself. May we come to know You intimately during this Lenten time and bear much fruit in acts of compassion and friendship. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
