1st Sunday of Lent

Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel” (Mark 1:14-15). The words in the Gospel are what we could refer to as the Gospel in miniature. In Jesus, the reign of God is made visible. The best and most proper response is conversion of heart; allowing ourselves to be transformed by grace.

 

The season of Lent offers a special opportunity for conversion. Along with Jesus we enter the “wilderness”. In the gospels, the “wilderness” symbolizes a place of challenge and purification. We pray that this Lenten season may make us more aware of the Lord’s call to walk with him.
