A Word From the Pastor: Fourth Sunday of Lent
from-the-pastor-1

TFor the last three years Gerri Miller has been in charge of the Dinner For One Is No Fun gatherings. After the last dinner I received a card from the daughter of one of the participants. This individual expressed her gratitude for the group. Her mother had not gone out at all since the death of her spouse more than two years ago. She said that it took a little arm twisting to get her mom to go. However, when her mother came home after the event, she was so pleased that she had made some new friends and was already looking forward to this month’s gathering at the Olive Garden. If you know someone who would enjoy these dinners, encourage them to go, even if it takes a little bit of “arm twisting.” Hats off to Gerri for proposing and taking care of this vital parish group which does so much to foster a sense of belonging and assuage the loneliness and isolation that is sometime felt by widows, widowers and those who live alone.

COME HOME

We each hear this appeal differently, but we all recognize the call to reconciliation. We need to put things in proper order. When Joshua and God’s people arrive in the promised land, when the prodigal son finally returns to the father’s house, there is homecoming joy and a feast. This Lent we are called home, we are called to reconciliation with God, the community of faith, our own families, and one another. Come home! Come home!
