Every year at our Festival, I give church tours. I enjoy this because the visitors are always awed by the light and color in our church, and they are especially caught by the icons.

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, we thought we would share this lovely prayer attributed to another Irish saint, St. Brigid.

Lent is an opportunity to intentionally choose books to companion us in our forty-day journey. Here are a few we've selected to walk with us this Lent:

Faith is abstract. Non-believers joke about the invisible, imaginary friend in the sky. We seem foolish, naive, even dumb. Fools for Christ? I will take it. With children, however, abstractions are incredibly difficult. Like Saint Thomas, they often need something more concrete.

As we journey together into Lent, we are always moved by this prayer, from St. Ephrem the Syrian.
