O God, who have called us to participate in this most sacred Supper, in which your Only Begotten Son, when about to hand himself over to death, entrusted to the Church a sacrifice new for all eternity, the banquet of his love, grant, we pray, that we may draw from so great a mystery, the fullness of charity and life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

COMMUNION & LIBERATION
LENTEN RETREAT ON MARCH 31
Last Saturday, I spent a pleasant morning with some of the Ottawa members of the movement Communion and Liberation (CL): a conference, time for prayer and celebrating reconciliation, a closing Mass in the Diocesan Centre Chapel. Some photos:
Tomorrow, Good Friday, for the fifth year CL has organized and will manage the Way of the Cross through some of Ottawa's downtown streets (beginning at St. Patrick's Basilica at 9:30am and arriving at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica around noon--see the poster below).
We have had very cold days and one very hot Good Friday; this year the weather forecast is moderate(10 degrees Celsius). Other cities will also host the Way of the Cross in Montreal and Toronto (for time, etc. consult: http://clonline.ca/); ditto, other countries (http://clonline.org/).
