#Updates 

Lenten Sharings

• Last Sunday, we reflected on the Passion of Christ. Which character do we identify with in the Gospel passage? The tired disciples, the betrayer Judas who fell into despair, the passionate but floundering Peter or the on-lookers who witnessed Jesus dying? 

STAY Project: The LAST WORDS of Jesus

• On Tuesday during adoration, we reflected on a scriptural reading about the SIXTH & SEVENTH LAST WORDS of Jesus - “It is finished!” (John 19:30) & “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46)

• We had a most powerful time of meditating on the climax of Jesus' passion. Our Lord was fully obedient to the Father even at the point of death. Such faith and trust in God, in spite of our human circumstances is what we are called to. With Jesus as our model and guide, we strive towards this with great hope!

That's all folks! See you on Sunday!
