02.24.2023 | Fish Fry Friday

The skies are clear and sunshine spreads across the Carondelet Garden on this Fish Fry Friday in South Saint Louis.  It seems Winter has returned to the Garden as we woke to temperatures in the lower 20s this morning.  These little Crocus flowers can handle it, thank goodness!  Such a beautiful reminder that Spring is coming.

Lent brings a kind of darkness with it but also a bit of light.  One of the bright spots of this Lenten season is Fish Fry Fridays.  Here in South Saint Louis we are blessed with an abundance of Fish Fry options.  Luckily we have one of the best just down the street at St. Stephen Protomartyr Catholic church.  If you are out and about you will definitely run into this #supercoololdcouple hanging out and playing the State 50/50 game and enjoying a great meal.

It's the first Friday of Lent.  We enter into that kind of darkness and explore our hearts and minds as we journey toward Easter.  "You have given all to me.  To you, Lord, I return it.  Everything is yours.  Do with is what you will.  Give me only your love and your grace.  That is enough for me."  Amen!
