Stations of the Cross in English and Spanish illustrated by Saint Pat's
School 4th Graders. You'll find materials on Reconciliation, an Examination
of Conscience and even a Credit Card to Heaven.  Lenten regulations are
there too, along with a complete schedule of Services and Activities.  Be
sure to visit our ON-LINE STATIONS OF THE CROSS.  I've written them for
children and adults alike.  They've been newly illustrated this year by the
4th Graders at our own Saint Patrick's School and are available in English
and Spanish as well.

"Those sown among the thorns: these are the ones who hear the word, but the
cares of the world, and the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things
come in and choke the word, and it yields nothing.  And these are the ones
sown on the good soil: they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit,
thirty and sixty and a hundredfold."  ~Mark 4:18-20

If I have a singleness of purpose, I can do my part in God's work.  I need
not let material distractions interfere with my job of improving personal
relationships.  It is easy for me to become distracted by material affairs,
so that I lose my singleness of purpose.  I don't have time to be concerned
about the many concerns of the world.  I can concentrate and specialize on
what I can do best.

.=: P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I pray that I may not become distracted by material affairs. I pray that I
may concentrate on doing what I can do best.
