Did you know that writer Flannery O’Connor went to Mass every day? Her faith was important to her and she wove aspects of it into her writing, which included a prayer journal published in 2013. Today she reminds us that faith is a gift, one worth working for, as we make our way on our Lenten Journey.
It’s the last Friday for Fish Frys — be sure to check them out if you haven’t already. One way to give alms this season is to support these wonderful endeavors, often benefiting charity. Find a Fish Fry here: thedialog.org/datebook-1/
