Why do Catholics bless themselves with Holy Water when they enter

the Church?

The Holy Water is a reminder of our baptism and the beginning of our life in Christ and His

Church.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY Rev. William J. Reilly

“What does the Scripture say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we preach), for if you confess with your mouth that

Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

We have launched the Holy Season of Repentance and Reform. It is not just a change in the calendar, but a moment in which

we are summoned to repentance, admit our need for the Savior. We are called in two directions, to re-form our own lives, and to

walk the Lenten journey with others.

Our resolve to live Lent 2019 is truly important. The saving work of Jesus is at work in us, and through us, for others. Jesus’

mission focuses on Calvary, His death and resurrection. The church too, in its mission to evangelize asks us to focus on

Jesus, His cross, and our salvation. We are not just revisiting former Lents, or the first Good Friday, we ask that the paschal

mystery touch, penetrate and transform us. We move from the word on our lips to the belief in our hearts that Jesus is here to save us today. ‘Lord, by your cross and resurrection, you have set us free. You are the Savior of the

world.’ ‘What stands between us and God?’

“Lent is a time of going very deeply into ourselves. What is it that stands between us and God? Between us and our brothers and sisters? Between us and life, the life of the

Spirit? Whatever it is, let us relentlessly tear it out, without a moment’s hesitation.”

St. Josemaría Escrivá
