St. Michael’s Lent
It’s hard to believe that we are on the cusp of the month of August, preparing for an end to summer and gearing up for the school year in just a few short weeks! As we prepare to head into the month of August, one of the beautiful feasts we get to celebrate is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven on August 15th, a Holy Day of Obligation. This day is also the traditional beginning of a period of prayer and fasting popularized by St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) known as “St. Michael’s Lent.” St. Francis observed this ‘Lent’ as a part of his own personal devotion to St. Michael the Archangel and the angels. He would observe this ‘Lent’ beginning on August 15th (the Solemnity of the Assumption) until the Feast of St. Michael (now the Feast of the Archangels) on September 29th. St. Michael’s Lent, like the Lent we observe leading up to Easter, excludes Sundays (and, we presume, Solemnities—there aren’t strict rules since it is a devotion rather than an obligation). I encourage you to observe St. Michael’s Lent by giving up something, practicing regular fasting, and adding in extra prayers (such as the Chaplet of St. Michael). Let’s offer up these spiritual practices for particular intentions that we might be drawn to offer them up for: the upcoming election, the conversion of sinners, for fallen-away Catholics to come back to the Church, for an end to the war in Israel and Ukraine, for an end to abortion, etc. Since August 15th is a Solemnity itself, and therefore not a day of fasting, I encourage you to take some extra time for prayer that day as you begin St. Michael’s Lent, which is what St. Francis presumably did on that feast day. Let us ask St. Michael to defend us in the spiritual battles that we face, that we might strive to continue to ‘fight the good fight’ and let us commend ourselves to the maternal care of the Queen of Angels, the Blessed Virgin Mary, that we might continue to strive to be more faithful followers of Christ! –Fr. Kelly

A Dad came home from work with a hug box of chocolates. As the kids gathered around competing for the candy, Dad said, “Wait, I think these chocolates should go to the person who always does what Mom says and never, never talks back to her.”
The kids wailed in disappointment, “Not fair, Dad. You know that’s you!”
**************
The first grade teacher read the story of Chicken Little to her class, “…and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, ‘The sky is falling, the sky is falling!’” The teacher paused then asked the class, “And what do you think that farmer said?”
A little girl raised her hand excitedly, “Holy moley! A talking chicken!”
