SPRING FORWARD!!!
It's time to spring forward and the Daylight Savings Time begins. Please do not forget to set your clocks FORWARD tonight, Saturday 8th 2008.
Spring is also intertwined with the Easter. At St. Gabriel's we are celebrating the salvific events of our Lord liturgically and sacramentally - His Passion, Death and Resurrection. It's a great time to spiritually revive ourselves by participating in this life saving event - life for all eternity. This is a once a year opportunity until the Lord's second coming. May we use these moments to spiritually charge ourselves, that we may accomplish everything according to His holy will.
Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners. Its time to own our sins and bring them to the feet of our Lord to receive forgiveness, reconciliation, redemption and release through the price He paid for our sins. Let us avail ourselves to the saving grace, liturgically we can be filled with this spritual abundance.

And may this hymn be our prayer:
Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast
Body of Christ, be thou my saving guest;
Blood of my Saviour, bathe me in thy tide,
Wash me with water flowing from thy side.
Strength and protection may thy Passion be;
O Blessed Jesus, hear and answer me;
Deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me;
So shall I never, never part from thee.
Guard and defend me from the foe malign;
In death's dread moments make me only thine;
Call me, and bid me come to thee on high,
Where I may praise thee with thy saints for aye.
See you at church this Sunday! God bless you and your family
