One of my favorite parts of Holy Week comes on Holy Thursday: the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament after Mass. I love the quiet of that time. I love the way it keeps us in a spirit of prayer, that spirit of prayer that began with the Eucharist. But I also love that it invites us to move. To go from church to church, visiting the Sacrament in each of those sacred spaces. I’ve appreciated the drive that night from parish to parish. I’ve enjoyed the way each parish sets up its shrine for the Eucharist. I’ve appreciated the people I meet on the way—...

Like many people, my life often seems to run on deadlines. When will the paper be due? …How late can I send in that RSVP? …Exactly what kind of time do I need to allot to drive from here to there? At this point in Lent, we’re called to meet some deadlines. (Of course, since Lent really points to Easter and since our God is a God of mercy, we can expect a bit of shifting in the deadlines.) Rectory, Set, Cook: The absolute deadline for giving is this Friday, March 27, at 5 pm. After that, no donation, no vote for Team St. Ann & St. Bonif...

Lent

I’ll admit it. It took me 50 years to get the point. I’d passed by the poor boxes in St. Boniface Church off and on for 50 years. Sometimes I’d fish around in my pocket for loose change (that was in the days when we had loose change in our pockets) and drop a few coins in the slot. I’d notice the words of Jesus carved into the boxes: I was hungry, I was thirsty…you fed me, you gave me to drink. But only recently did I get the point. Those boxes aren’t objects nailed to the wall—something added long after the building was buil...
