Dear St. Anthony families,

I remember last year during Lent, when I was teaching middle school Religion

here at St. Anthony School. There were twin boys in 7th grade who surprised

me when they refused some candy during a class celebration. They said,

“Sorry, Ms. Hill, we gave up chocolate for Lent!” I was so impressed with their

commitment and dedication to their Lenten fast. This year, let’s all take the

lead of the Mauro boys, and make real commitments during Lent. Decide

where to fast, pray and give, and then DO IT! In my house, we are fasting

from soda pop and gossip. We are praying the rosary together each night,

and are giving away a bag of clothes or food each week. If you need some

inspiration, here are a few good ideas:

www.loyolapress.com has Lenten Moments of Mercy, a daily email you can

sign up to receive.

www.dynamiccatholic.com has Best Lent Ever, daily emails by Matthew Kelly

– the same who authored the book, Rediscover Jesus.

www.osv.com has the free Year of Mercy app, which has daily readings and

exercises for the whole year, including Lent, that you can download to your

phone or any other device.

See you all at the fish frys!

In Christ,

Melissa Hill

shall obtain mercy” Mt. 5:7.
