Dear Friend of St. Jude,

During Lent, we pay special attention to our body and how it can help us grow in holiness. By fasting or choosing to abstain from certain comforts, we focus ourselves to reflect on our relationship with God. Pay attention to the gift of your body this week. Treat it with reverence and care, knowing that one day God will raise it to new life in Him, just as Jesus did with Lazarus.

Oramos juntos: St. Jude, the Lord opens the way to eternal life. May my sharing in this gift increase my love and strengthen my faith.

Yours in prayer,

Fr. Paul Keller, CMF
