Lent 2019 Begins Tomorrow

Tuesday, March 5, 2019

Tomorrow, we begin the season of Lent. As has been our practice at Visitation for now 12 years, our Faith Formation Team has solicited reflections for each day of Lent and Triduum from members of our parish faith community. They are published in a booklet that is mailed to all registered parish households before Lent.

This year, we are also publishing the reflections on this blog. To protect the privacy of those writing the reflections in this public forum, we are not publishing names or biographical information online as we do in the print version. This blog is meant primarily as another means of access to the reflections for our parishioners who may appreciate the convenience of a direct link to the daily scripture readings online and access to the parishioner reflection in the same spot. It may also be handy for those times when one member of a household is traveling and may wish to keep up with the daily readings and reflections.

As each of us ponders the ways that we might slow down and make the season of Lent a more meaningful time in the busyness of our lives, please be mindful of the traditions of the season here at Vis:
