I have a real treat for you today. I\u2019m standing in this remarkable church, a place that dates back to when the first Passionists came to the United States in 1852. They left Rome with only 24 to 48 hours to pack up and travel to a place they had never been before. Within a year of arriving, they built this church. While it has since been renovated, it remains magnificent\u2014now 175 years old. You can still see the original floor in the sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bienvenidos al Primer Domingo de Cuaresma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saludos y bienvenidos a nuestro primer Domingo de Cuaresma. Hoy tengo un verdadero regalo para ustedes. Estoy de pie en esta iglesia extraordinaria, un lugar que se remonta a cuando los primeros Pasionistas llegaron a los Estados Unidos en 1852. Salieron de Roma con solo 24 a 48 horas para empacar y viajar a un lugar que nunca hab\u00edan visitado. Dentro de un a\u00f1o de su llegada, construyeron esta iglesia. Aunque ha sido renovada desde entonces, sigue siendo magn\u00edfica\u2014ahora tiene 175 a\u00f1os. Todav\u00eda se puede ver el piso original en el santuario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hard Work and Prayer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I think about those men and their dedication, I realize they could only have accomplished what they did because they were both hard workers and men of prayer. Hard work and prayer go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we begin this first week of Lent, our theme is prayer. I invite you to spend some time reflecting on that. How do you pray? What matters most to you in prayer? When you pray, do you speak more, or do you listen more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual and Communal Prayer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this holy season of Lent, consider the difference between praying individually and praying together as a community. What does liturgical prayer mean to you? Do you feel connected to the people around you when you pray?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often notice that my voice becomes one among many\u2014perhaps dozens or even hundreds\u2014coming together as one before God. There is something deeply blessed about that unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lent is a time to deepen our understanding of the mystery of God and our participation in that mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invitation for the Week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout this week, I invite you to reflect more intentionally on the dynamics of prayer and how you honor and nurture the Word of God in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who would like to continue the conversation, join us on Saturday. We\u2019ll gather to reflect on how the week went and share ideas and stories together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward to seeing you then. Take care, have a blessed week, and may God bless you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fr.
