This week’s character trait word is FORGIVENESS. As part of the virtue of temperance, FORGIVENESS allows us to not hold grudges and even see things from another’s PERSPECTIVE. It is not about forgetting but rather hoping that others make a fresh start after their mistakes. God’s unconditional love for us reminds us that even when we sin He always shows compassion and FORGIVENESS.

As we continue our Lenten journey, may we continue to grow in our understanding of the lessons Jesus taught us through His words and deeds. As we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day and Saint Joseph's Day, in honor of these great Saints, I offer this Irish Prayer:
 

May God give you,
for every storm, a rainbow,
for every care, a promise,
and a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,
a faithful friend to share,
for every sigh, a sweet song,
and an answer for each prayer.
 

Happy Saint Patrick's and Saint Joseph's Day!

Sincerely,

Cornelius Begley
