"Come back to me with all your heart" are words that we read and sing from the prophet Hosea.  It echoes God's heart that wants us to experience the joy and peace of reconciliation.  I hope and pray that we will all be led to the Sacrament of Reconciliation sometime soon.  The opportunities to do so are many starting with our Lenten Reconciliation Service, this Thursday, March 29, at 6:15 p.m.  Four visiting priests will join me in offering the sacrament to those who wish to receive it.  I will also be available for the sacrament on Good Friday, April 6, from 10:00-11:30 a.m. and 1:00-2:30 p.m. Finally, I will be in the Reconciliation room every weekday through Wednesday of Holy Week after the 9:00 a.m. Mass until around 10:00 a.m. each day.  This is one of the best ways to prepare ourselves for the celebration of the Paschal Mystery.  Please don't let long absences from this great sacrament of peace and hope keep you from coming.
