Welcome!      We are so happy you are visiting our blog today. Our hope is that, during this holy Lenten season, we will all grow in love and understanding of God and others.

Let us make this a time of prayer and renewal, a time of reflection and compassionate dialogue. I've included the link for the Ash Wednesay posting here, in case you haven't yet subscribed to the Ignatian Solidarity Network Series. Enjoy!  http...
