By Father Gerard H. Chylko, C.Ss.R. If you’re looking for a spiritual activity to practice during Lent, here’s a suggestion I’ve borrowed from Katie Warner (see her website here ). For the season of Lent, get a calendar and for each of the 40 days, write down the name of one person.
For 20 years the Church has observed the annual World Day for Consecrated Life—a celebration begun by Pope St. John Paul II—on the Feast of the Presentation (Candlemas), February 2. The occasion will be marked in parishes on the following weekend, February 4-5, 2017.
