Keep your eyes open!...






 

Lent, 2022  

(Ecc 3:1-7) All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

UPDATES (Including COVID-19 RELATED UPDATES): Non-subscribers can access items emailed during Lent at Tribulaton Times - Google Groups.

LENTEN RESOURCES

The key to starting Lent right
Lent isn’t about self-improvement, but our souls pining and thirsting for God
Hold up the Cross in costly imitation of Christ

EXCERPT ARCHBISHOP SAMUEL J. AGUILA
: Archbishop Aquila joins calls for prayer and fasting for an immediate end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

In response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila issued the below statement:

With great sadness and anguish the world has witnessed the beginning of a violent Russian invasion of Ukraine and its people. Sadly, once again humanity has listened to the voice of the evil one, who brings hatred, confusion, division, and war rather than the peace of Christ. Only in listening to the voice of God will true peace and justice come. I join Pope Francis in calling on all people to pray and fast for peace and an immediate end to this time of war.

My prayers today are with the Ukrainian and Russian people. I pray for their safety and peace of heart, for their conversion, and for Vladimir Putin to immediately withdraw his troops and cease all strikes.

I ask the priests in the Archdiocese of Denver to pray the Mass in Time of War and Civil Disturbance during these days ahead, including this coming Sunday, and I encourage the faithful to pray the Rosary each day and offer their prayers and fasting for world peace and the conversion of the world.

As we approach this Lenten season, let us be reminded that Christ alone can deliver us from this broken world, from the evil one who has captured the hearts of so many. Our hope and trust is in Jesus our Lord and Savior who alone can give true peace!

LENTEN SABBATICAL

The TRIB TIMES will not be updated again this year during the Lenten season, extending to the first week after Easter.  My computer time will be limited to 30 minutes each morning and evening during Lent. I will read all emails I receive, and will answer all that I can, time permitting.  I may also occasionally email non-reformatted news articles to Trib Times subscribers that I find to be of particular interest. But barring a major event (admittedly not unlikely these days), the Trib Times web page itself will not be updated. 

I apologize to all who have recently subscribed but will keep your email information for use after my return.  God willing, the next issue of the Trib Times should be shortly after Divine Mercy Sunday, April 24, 2022.  Please keep me in your prayers, and be assured that I will do the same.

I recommend the following links to keep up with unfolding events:

Thoughts and Sayings of Saint Margaret Mary: Self-effacement--Detachment

2. As all things find rest only in their center and are irresistibly drawn to what is natural to them, even so my heart, wholly absorbed in its center, the humble Heart of Jesus, has an unquenchable thirst for humiliations, contempt and oblivion on the part of creatures, and thus I never feel happier than when I am conformed to my crucified Spouse.
