Sunday March 1, 2026 - Marcel and Linda - The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) is truly a gem of a  book and its insights into the Lord's Prayer are incredibly inspiring and up lifting. As Linda pointed out in her Whatever You Ask post, someone's final words are hugely significant. And what do we find as the final words of the Catechism?...over 100 paragraphs devoted to the Lord's Prayer. If you've never read that segment (par. 2759-2865) you have a real spiritual feast awaiting you. 

​

Marcel and I wish to share with you what we are trying to build up in ourselves and what we are asking the Lord to do in us this Lent; to see in ourselves the ability to fully entrust ourselves to the Father in deep confidence, and the humility to ask much of Him with great filial boldness.  But all this is rooted in a knowledge of our identity in Christ, who died for each of us so that we could be His brother and sister and live forever with Him in eternal peace and contentment and we need to grow in that knowledge!  We are trying to cleanse our minds daily from "every thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God", by trying to "bring every thought into captivity and obedience to Christ" (1 Cor. 10: 5)...All those negative, doubtful, dark, dreary, depressive thoughts that want us to believe that nothing we ask will ever get answered.  It's a daily struggle, but one well worth waging because every one of our prayers is heard and answered!
