Thanks to JoAnne for a great Lenten meditation suggestion--On The Passion of Christ According to the Four Evangelists, by Thomas A. Kempis (author of The True Imitation of Christ.) It is very powerful and consists of 33 short reflections. I'm thinking one a day (excluding Sundays) beginning Ash Wednesday will take me up to the Friday before Palm Sunday. I purchased my copy at The Catholic Peddler on Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road (all merchandise is 35 percent off, except stationery, and they have a great selection of Catholic items.) Check with The Catholic Shop to see if Dan has copies or you can purchase through amazon:

Have a great week--here's hoping you (unlike me) are not at home with a sick child this rainy morning!
