“Lent is a period of spiritual ‘combat’ which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism.” -Pope Benedict XVI
I pray your time of spiritual combat during Lent is going well. Know that you are not fighting alone!
Please remember in your prayers the OLM ladies who will be on retreat this weekend. May God bless them abundantly.
In Him,
Fr. Mark
