Masses for Mar. 1: First Sunday of Lent

Mar 1 2009

Low Mass at 8:00am; High Mass at 11:00am.  Proper on page 309 and 880.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, directly after His baptism, prepared Himself for His public life and mission by a fast of forty days in the desert, which extends from Jericho to the Mountains of Judaea.  Let us prepare ourselves by fast, prayers and works of charity for the solemn Feast of Easter.
