ARISE!

Gracious God and Father,
we enter into your presence realizing you know us better than we know ourselves. You know the cares and sufferings we carry in our hearts.

You call us to holiness and we trust you to lead us together on our journey to be a renewed Church - for with you all things are possible.

Create us anew in Jesus Christ your Son. Liberate us from all that keeps us from you. Heal us from every form of sin and violence.

Transform us to live your Word more profoundly. Awaken us to the sacred; rebuild trust among us. Enliven our parishes; reunite our families.

May your Holy Spirit empower us to live as a community of love, freed to share in your work of recreating our world and restoring justice.

We believe you are doing something new, calling us to arise together in Christ to celebrate the fullness of life.

Amen.

Ash Wednesday

The season of Lent begins on Wednesday, February 17th. This is a very special time of penance and renewal as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter.

On Ash Wednesday Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 am and 5:30 pm. There will be a service at 4:00 pm. Ashes will be distributed at each of these times.
We will have Morning Prayer at 8:45 am (prior to the 9:00 am Mass) on Tuesdays in Lent.
Stations of the Cross will follow the 9:00 am Mass on Fridays in Lent.

The Light is On For You — On all the Wednesday’s of Lent from 6:30-8:00pm, St. Bart’s and all the parishes and chapels of the Archdiocese of Boston will be open for individual confessions. This is an invitation to all of us to consider the importance of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in our lives and the healing that can be experienced.
