Slow Down You Move Too Fast
You’ve got to make the season last!
Forty Days – it’s not that long!
When it’s past we will sing our song.
For now, let’s take our time,
Think about it and make it rhyme
Our God has called, and he says,
“You are mine”
Not just now but for all time.
So slow down
This is where you belong
Take some time and pray along
God’s plan, you want to know
When and Where
How and Why
Prayer is the way to go.
Quiet time, Slow time, down time
Just you and God, some one-on-one
Just relax,
God’s got this one
Yes, He had it all along
He’s just waiting for you
So Slow Down Don’t Move So Fast
Give God Your Time, Give God Your
Praise
And Oh Yes, Fast and Keep Holy these
40 days.
As we think about slowing down, I ask that we slow down ever so slightly as we receive our Lord in the Eucharist. This is our most personal time with the Lord, and sometimes it seems that we are rushing through it.
Lent is always a good time to examine all the aspects of our spiritual and physical lives. By slowing down just a little, we give others their time with our Lord. If you receive in the hand, please do not move away from the minister until you have placed the host in your mouth. The minister of holy communion is responsible for ensuring that the Eucharist has been consumed. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
We are happy to welcome Fr. Ken Ahanonu back from Nigeria!
The time is drawing near when Krista from our front office will be leaving. Krista has been an enormous help to me and to many of you during Fr. Arisman’s absence, and over the past five-plus years. I will certainly miss her and I may be a little disorganized for a while.
A card shower has been recommended for anyone who would like to wish Krista well on her new journey and express their appreciation for all she has done for St. Francis Solanus. Cards can be sent or dropped off at the parish office.
Chris, Kathy, and Linda will be working the regular office hours but there will usually be only one secretary in the office. We ask for your patience as we begin this transition in April.
Fr. Bruce Scott
