can purchase necessities.

information.

14. Today We Commemorate…
The last Sunday in our Lenten
journey we celebrate the feast of
St. Mary of Egypt.
St. Mary was an ascetic who fled to
the desert for almost a half-century
after a miraculous conversion.
While living a life of prostitution, the
Holy Spirit barred her from entering
the church in Jerusalem.
