A new month and more signs of spring. I guess it's time for me to put away my snowmen and to get the garland and wreath off the front porch. But it's 12 degrees out!!!!

I head for the Cathedral today for the Rite of Election. There are very few things for which I will give up a family day.

Word of the day:
The first Sunday of Lent
Gospel
Mk 1:12-15
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert,
and he remained in the desert for forty days,
tempted by Satan.
He was among wild beasts,
and the angels ministered to him.

After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
"This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel."



God bless our troops!
