Don't forget to select a wooden tile from the basket near the ambo after Mass. On it, you will find the name of someone in our community in need of prayer this Lent. Please remember to pray for them daily and return the wooden tile at the end of Lent. Many have found that the best way to pray daily for special intentions is to put your wooden tile somewhere you will see it everyday. How about affixed to your bathroom mirror or on the kitchen window sill?
