Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: As we enter this Lenten Season, God calls us to an honest, grace-filled assessment of our weakness and sins. The Church’s call to prayer, fasting, and charity brings us to a conversion of heart and unites us to the love of Christ. I sincerely pray that your Lenten journey will be one that leads you to newness of life and blessing for you and your family. With the technological advances in our culture and a growing awareness of the dangers that come with this, we as a Church are called to protect and promote unity and the need for strong
relationships with the family. When a family is truly connected, they are more aware of the ways in which their children and grandchildren are struggling, especially in regard to the effects of exposure to dangerous content online. This first Sunday of Lent, we in the Archdiocese of New Orleans invite Parents, Parishes, schools, and organizations to learn more about this common struggle and how we can protect and provide healing for ours loved ones in our lives, especially our children. Your parish has new resources to help you understand and
confidently address this issue and act with God’s love and mercy toward those in your homes and organizations. May Lent be a blessing for you and your family and a renewed experience of God’s mercy. Know that you are remembered in my prayers, and please remember me in yours. Wishing you God’s blessing, I am Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond Archbishop of New Orleans Our Lady Star of the Sea Pray for us
