This is the eleventh year* I'm offering a pocket cross for Lent. A pocket cross is a daily reminder that we're in a special season to grow in our faith in Jesus and in living as he calls us to live. (Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 2.)
Your Ash Wednesday ashes will be gone by Thursday morning - a pocket Cross will stay with you through the 40 days of Lent!
The inscription on this year's cross responds to our world situation:
Lord Jesus, be our peace!

let me know that you need a few extra crosses and I'll send them.

• I was late in placing the order for these crosses and as with so many things, there is
a delay in the supply chain - BUT - I hope to be able to begin mailing them by this
coming weekend!
*Previous pocket crosses bore these inscriptions:
• Be still and know that I am God
• Create in me a clean heart, O God
• Come back to me with all your heart
• Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
• Remember - Return - Repent -Reconcile - Reorder - Restore
• Clothe yourself in heartfelt mercy
• Come find the peace within
• Jesus, touch my life today
• Come back to me with all your heart
• Healing and Peace
