Our mission is to provide pastoral care to the Roman Catholic community at The University of Texas at Austinand to advance the iu , necu , and soi i of the students, faculty, staff, and administration.
Today, the Lord invites us to “repentance for the forgiveness ofsins.” Level and straighten the road to the Lord. Salvation is God’swork and is freely offered. Repentance, turning away from what
separates us from God, is our work for which God supplies thegrace. Our lives, like the liturgy, are words connected withactions. We must say “Yes” to God in word and action. What arethe mountains, valleys and obstacles that prevent us from anencounter with the Lord?
