  • SAINT MICHAEL the ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCH FEBRUARY 14, 2021 | SIXTH SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
    ARCHDIOCESE OF GALVESTON-HOUSTON SAINT MICHAEL the ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCH FEBRUARY 14, 2021 | SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” Mark 1:40-41 1801 Sage Road | Houston, Texas 77056 | Tel (713) 621-4370 Fax (713) 850-8341 | stmichaelchurch.net ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCH Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear Parish Family, As you read my letter to you today, perhaps you attended Mass this weekend at the parish and are asking yourselves this question: “What will my Lenten sacrifice be this year?” It is an age-old tradition that many Catholics look deep within to reflect upon how they can enter more deeply into the holy and penitential season of Lent. One way is certainly to abstain from something during Lent. Another is to take-on a new practice or ritual during Lent. In either case, both opportunities allow us to grow closer to Christ if we allow Him to be the holiness that we seek in the “doing.” I humbly suggest that it should be our prayer and posture to embody Jesus Christ who has purchased for us, the rewards of eternal life. This is never more real than when we journey with Him into the desert of Lent—asking Him to change our hearts, remove every stain of sin, draw us closer to His heart, mold us into a people who long to see Your face.
